At their May 5 meeting, Clinton
conned accepted the tender of Lavis
'Constracting to complete the work as
well as put the final coat of asphalt on
Maple Street from. Mill to Whitehead
Street and on Walker . Street from,
Victoria to King, Street.
The' work is to cost approximately
$82,000., and council extended . the
completion date of July, 31 to August
29. Lavis' bid was the lowest of two
tenders reseed by council.
The reconstruction is altered from
the orginial plans and°. on the
recommendation from the engineer's
B.M. Ross, council agreed to leave the

Huron County will have a chronic tercourt and Townsend streets until

year according to the county's those streets a year ago.
Medical Officer of Health, Doctor Council has also acted on a petition
Brian Lynch. sent by King Street residents. Their
een_answered--aridya
paved boulevard will replace the
grass along a portion of the west side
of irng Street, south of Joseph Street.
Ina petition signed by five, the
residents explained that the grass is
difficult to maintain since it is
destroyed by street equipment and
gravel and parked cars.
The 280 foot by 7 foot boulevard will
be `dug out, refilled with gravel and
paved as soon as possible. Council
agreed to cut back on other projects Ito
pounced that chronic home care will
be established in all areas of the
province by 1981. Lynch said Friday,
he has no firm date when the program
will be established, but he has met
with . ministry representatives to
duscuss setting up the program.
The addition of the program makes
it essential...,.that the Clinton Branch
Office of the Huron Health Unit be
expanded.
Lynch expects the patient load of
the health unit will double or triple
with the chronic home care program
as will staff and space requirements.
Huron County Council is. in-
vestigating the feasibility of building
a health building for the Clinton office
on property owned by the county at
Huronview Home for the Aged at
Clinton.
The health unit has 'an acute home
care program in service now which
provides care for patients who do not
require full hospital care but do
require some aspect of care such as
nursing, physio -therapy, occupational

Acute home care is designed for
illness where recovery is expected
within one to three months.
Chronic home care is for illness
where recovery is unlikely. The
program will not replace hospital
care but provides an extra element of
health care allowing the person to
remain at home.
It is easier for some people to return
to health, explains Dr. Lynch, if they
are at home, where they can be up
and around taking part in daily ac-
tivities, hobbies and interests.
Dr, Lynch does not see the program
as an alternative to long term hospital
care. He believes the chronic home
care program 'cannot replace hospital
-ire if it is required.

finance the paving and decided give'
up theirr tree planting budget, ahead
of sidewalk repairs to afford the
paving.
Mayor Harold Lobb pointed out that
tree planting could be delayed for a
year, but felt that sidewalk repairs
needed to be done immediately.
An amendment to the zoning bylaw
which allows a retail food outlet and
drive-in restaurant in Zone.6 was
given three readings and passed by
council.
This additien to the zoning bylaw
was made to avoid further difficulties
if a grocery store decides to build in
Zone 6. Earlier in the year, a proposed
grocery store. had planned to built in
the zone at the west limits of town, but
several objections were received and
the store owners dropped their
proposal.
The new amendment to the bylaw is

effect.
Council agreed to include drive-in.
restaurant, which includes a lunch
counter, snack bar or fast food outlets
in the amendment to wake the zoning
bylaw more extensive and more
specifically defined.
Council showed some concern over
an unsigned Tetter directed to them
and the town's business ,community.
The letter, ' signed from "A Very
Upset Person" was concerned abogt
corruption in town and was Opposed to
the exotic dancers that perform .at the
Elm Haven. It read, "You do nothing
about new business, but you allow rot
to come in."
Council doesn't usually read un-
signed letters at an open' meeting: but
MayorHarold Lobb explained, "This.
lgn4 pf gking bothers me .a bit. Why
wouldn'eta person sign this letter.
He suggested that those people who
have complaints against the town
may have the opportunity .the
correct
things when a new council is elected
in November.
Councillor George Rurnball said,
"Whoever wrote this letter mustn't
believe in their own convictions, or
they're afraid."
Councillor Rob Parr felt that an
unsi ned letter didn't take mu h.
courage to write and council agreed to
his suggestion, "We shouldn't waste
our time on this."
