While the outbreak has been put under control, the vaccination clinics which were scheduled for September may still be held.' In August, Ontario health minister Dennis Timbrell announced that a million doses of vaccine would be ready for a province -wide immunization program in September and 'another 500,000 in October from Connaught Laboratories. According to Dr. Brian Lynch, Huron County Medical Officer of Health, the With OPP Hullett discuss Dogs, vandalism Constable Jim " McLeod from the Seaforth detachment of the OPP spoke to Hullett Council at their' last meeting on October 2. Constable McLeod was present to discuss, any problems the township' might be having in regards to dogs, vandalism or other difficulties. In other business the tender of Ken Hulley at $16.50 and hour was accepted for snowplowing. He will be paid $15 per day for standby. ' The other application for the work came from George Radford at $18 and hour plus $15 per day standby. A court of revision was held on the Youngblut drain. Ken Campbell and Robert Dempsey from the Huron County Road Committee and other affected owners were present. Mr. Dempsey spoke at length on the inequity of the assessments. The court of revision did not see fit to make any changes. A motion was passed by the council and the Reeve of East Wawanosh Simon P. Hallahan that the engineer's For those of you who keep diaries, you can put down that it snowed on October 7, 1978 here in Clinton, not the earliest, by all reports from many old-timers in the district, but certainly much too early for all but the skiers' liking. Last year we avoided the white plague until Remembrance Day, which is still too early for some people. But an early snow like the one last Saturday (it was partially melted compressed snow pellets, as op- posed to sleet, which is frozen rain) really serves many good purposes. It reminds us to get the snowtires on; it tells us to check our anti- freeze; it's a hint to get the storm windows on (to. those few of us still cursed with those old wooden monster* and it reminds all the southward bound human "birds" that it soon will be time for them to change their 83 cent Canadian dollars into American dollars worth a buck. We also recorded our first killing frost here on the weekend, but it was a funny frost, killing all the cucumbers and pumpkins, but sparing the tomatoes and peppers. So it looks as if we'll be enjoying garden fresh produce for a few days yet. Mid any day now the annual sacrificial ritual tradition of burning all. those valuable deciduous leaves will=s tart, and the whole town will be choking under the thick acrid rrioke.

The voters lists are ready and the nominations open this coming Monday, citizens incinerating their leaves on the paved town streets, and may lay charges if they catch someone doing it. -1- .+ + We just got over one postal strike, by the letter carriers, and now it looks .like the inside boys will be going out next, although for what heaven only knows, they already make more than enough. Anyway, should the postal service come to a standstill (it just creeps at the best of times anyway) the News - Record shall go undaunted and continue deliveries in our local trading area. If you get your mail from the Clinton post office, either by general delivery or from a box, you can pick up your paper at the News -Record office on Albert Street in Clinton. If you are on .a rural route, or get your mail through one of the smaller post offices, service will continue as normal. All other out -of -district papers will be held until the CUPW workers return to their sanity. + ++ A former News -Record cartoonist, and Central Huron Chronicle editor, Philip Street is making a little pin money now, drawing Cartoons for the weekly Ferguson, Short and Ross Show, seen every Friday night on the TVO network at 10 p.tri.

The clinics were halted late in August when all .the vaccine was used up, especially in Oxford and the surrounding counties where polio victims were discovered. Before the adult vaccine ran out, By council nearly 2,000 persons were given shots at the Clinton clinic alone. The supply of ' tetanus and, polio vaccine is presently being replenished by laboratories. "It's important that adults are im- munized," Dr. Lynch explained. "I'm still sure that people are con- cerned about the scare, so we'll probably have a few clinics," he added. Liz McHugh, a public health nurse at the Clinton office of the county Health Unit, said that children and adults should have polio booster shots every four or five years. The first polio shot is given to babies at three months and the first booster when they're 18 months old. Town hall, library designated historical by Shelley McPhee Clinton town council took another step towards the preservation of the town's ` older buildings on Tuesday evening when they designated the town hall, the library and the library park as properties of architectural and historical significance. The designation is under the Ontario Heritage Act. Councillor Roy Wheeler pointed -out, "This does not involve money matters. It's clearly just a matter of dedication and the people in Clinton should know that." Gerry Fremlin, a member of the LACAC. committee commented, "It's what the committee needs to go ahead to plan the uses for the hall. If you hadn't designated it, we wouldn't want to go ahead with all that work." Council agreed that the town would pay its share of the costs in the County Municipal Police Communication System. ipes going in arena floor Workers from C.A.
