NOT VERY HIGH--
, We didn't purposely mis-
lead you last week about plans
to refill, the lower pond. The
word at council meeting was
that it was to be filled. On
Tuesday morning,however, we
found that stop logs had been
placed in the two culverts to
the east of the dam, but no •
boards have been placed at the
dam itself, so the water level
still isn't very high. Must be
more than a little disappoint-
ing to those who look over the
camping sites. '

from the look in her eye that

Onc of Wingharri's matrons
set off last Saturdayafternoon
with a car full of young people
to take in the harness races at
Clinton. Realizing some big
event was taking place at Blyth
she decided to detour from the
main street, only to find her-
self in the park, surrounded, by
fifes, drums and banners, be-
ing directed hither and yon and
questioned about which lodge
she was with. She finally got
the message across that' it was
not King Billy's steed she had
come to see, arid after a lot of
maneuvering managed to get
out of the parade area. T h c
Orange Lodges took off on their
walk and she' finally made the
races.
Each eligible proposal is
closely examined by OHC's
technical and professional staff,
who base their final recom-
mendations on design, suita-
bility, ease of maintenance
and cost.
OHC's family and senior
citizen housing is leased on a
rent geared -to -income basis.
This means that the tenant's,
monthly income, not the size
of the dwelling determines the
amount of rent. s Tenants with
a monthly income of up to
$192 may rent an OHC unit for
as little as $32; , For families
whose monthly income exceeds
$560, the rent is a straight 30
per cent of income.
At the end of June OHC had
22,260 family and 2,254 sen-
ior citizen "•dwellings in
various stages of .development.
Deadlines for the develop-
ment proposals for Wingham
will be 2 p.m.. August 22 and
will be for the erection of 10
family units and 16 senior citi- •
zen units. The family units
will, in all probability be of the
row or town housing type, Lo-,
cations, of course, will not be
known until the proposals have
been reviewed:
In addition to the housing
units which will be built as a
result of the proposals men-
tioned above, excavation was
started last week for a nine -
unit senior citizen apartment
building on Alfred Street..
The call for proposals has
been announced not only for
the Wingham units but in other
places as well, such as 1,000
in Ottawa; 330 in St. Cathar-
ines; 40 in Niagara Falls; 20 in
Colborne; 400 in Hamilton; 236
in Kingston; 12 in Englehart.
