Reeve John Flannery of Sea - forth felt this was a worthwhile suggestion. "It is a local problem," said Flannery who has worked on the Van Egmond project near Sea - forth, "and if the Town of God- , Bell. Ringers present numbers for Sr. citizens The Bell Ringers of St. An- drew's Presbyterian Church, Wingham, were special guests as the Wingham and District Senior Citizens held their September meeting. The Bell Ringers gave several fine numbers. Gordon Leggatt showed many interesting slides of a coast-to- coast tour of Canada. Mrs. Lily Patterson and Mrs. Margaret Ilastings, delegates who attended the August cen-, ference in Windsor, gave a good report of proceedings there. During- the business portion of the meeting the members planned to take a bus trip to the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto. R. W. BELL_. OPTOMETRIST GODERICH The Square 524-7661 erich wanted to take over, 1 be- lieve it would be very surprising the number of people who are in- terested in this kind of thing." Some members of cguncil thought a Museum of Penology would attract only sadists and persons with strange likes. "I see nothing wrong in pre- serving the history that has taken place," commentedReeve Paul Carroll of Goderich. "I don't find it sadistic. A local government must take responsibility for pre- serving this kind of thing in our own areas. I think it is a tremen- d'outs idea.. Further avenues should possibly be explored. Per- haps an outdoor theatre. This past summer's efforts by the Pendulum Players at the jail proved it was an . , ,xcellent sur- rounding for theatre." "This jail is the only cine of its kind of North America," stated Reeve Harold Lobb, Clinton. "That's • why they (the people from the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, Historical and Mu- seum Pranch, Archives of On- tario) were interested in seeing it kept as a museum." "It would definitely cost the county some money, no matter what you do with it," continued Lobb, "even if you tear it down. The property it is on• is high- priced property. But if we tear it down, wtVre not really looking to the future. We might save the county some money, but years fromnow, people would wonder why that building was torn down and what kind of a council made STAINTON HARDWARE Josephine St. Wingham Phone 357-2910 Somet1in nin Extra g a • IEnjoy a The Lord Simcoe has something extra for you.

"I don't mind the initial cost of $25,000," said Elston. "It is the $10,000 or $15,000 it will cost to keep it up every year. Every municipality has something it should preserve perhaps. What about all those one -room county scheols we closed down?" Members transfer to United Church . Rev. K. Barry Passmore con- ducted communion service in the Wingham United Church on Sun- day morning and during the ser- vice welcomed three new mem- bers who are transferring from other congregations in Western. Ontario. • Mrs. Winnifred Lockwood and Mrs. Brian Hogg are transferring their membership from the Wroxeter United Church; Mrs. George Walling comes from the Hanover United Church. Rev. Passmore, in his commu- nion meditation, compared people to sailboats. "Many things happen to take the 'wind out of our sails'," he said, "but a strong and steadfast faith in the Lord can keep us steady and give us a firm foundation." He urged the communion service was a time of renewal of this faith. The senior choir sang two com- munion anthems. In St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, :e -v. Robert H. Arm- strong was in charge and chose as his sermon title "What Think ye of Christ?". The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be observ- ed there on Sunday morning, Oc- tober 1st.

"One .day we will be - freed from this black spector." 1 He said that work like the Can - y cer Society is doing just proves that "people do care about other people." Mr. Brady said that the government should stay out of - charity work because it would de- - prive people of loving other people and "caring about. other people is a -good and heart warm- ing feeling."

Medical offic VD problem Dr. Frank Mills, Medical Of- ficer of Health for Huron County, says his department is not in- terested in the morals or the pri- vate actions of people.. "We're only interested ,in the control of venereal disease," stated Mills. He said according to the na- ,tional averages, Huron should have about 200 cases of VD. "There are 26,000 cases in Can- ada- the ones we know about," said Mills, "andr we have our share." He said it had come to attention that people go "out of the county" for treatment -rather than risk people knowing their afflication. Medical practitioners, he said, are duty bound to report cases of venereal disease to the local health department. "For one reason or another then," concluded the doctor, "on- ly a small percentage of the ac- tual number of cases of venereal er warns is growing disease in Huron are reported to our office." The MOH also reported that ra- bies is on the increase in Huron. The disease is up by about 52 per cent. He urged people to take ad- vantage of the free rabies clinics throughout the county. ' Dr. Mills • also ' spoke briefly about the new clinics 'for senior citizens across Huron and said there has been "heavy atten dance". He described it as a "successful program" which gives much "personal satisfac- tion". At the present time, Dr. Mills reported about 40 patients are un- der care at any one time by the Home Care Program."Those are 40 persons not occupying space in local hospitals,". said Dr. Mills. He' said it was costing about $7 per diem for home care as op- posed to about $50 per day aver- age in hospital.
