AT READMAN 410.11111* 4kir RARE OPPORTUNITY tit Phone companies reach first stage agreement By Keith Roulston The telephone committee or- ganized by the Huron Federation of Agriculture has received word from John D. Cunningham, as- sistant to the vice president of Western Area of Bell Canada that Bell, South Bruce Rural Tele- phone Ltd., Maitland Teleserv- ices and Wightman Telephone have reached a tentative service agreement on extended area service for the fall of 1975. The announcement was made Thursday night at the regular meeting of the Huron Federation • of Agriculture. The agreement would give toll-free service be- tween Wingham-Teeswater; Wingham-Gorrie; Wingham- Blyth; Brussels and Auburn. Total estimated cost of the project is $350,000. Of this amount, South Bruce will pay $35,000, Wightman Telephone, $46,000; Maitland, $45,500 and Bell Canada, $225,000. The telephone companies will canvass their customers in late 1973 to determine if the majority of their customers .desire ex- panded xpanded toll-free services. The Federation of Agriculture became involved in the fight for larger toll areas in the summer of 1971 when a committee was set up and petitions distributed. Re- sponse was heavy and the com- mittee began negotiations with the telephone companies. Their request was that each telephone customer be able to call customers in all adjoining telephone exchanges. Earlier this year the telephone companies had given a virtual no to the re- quests and negotiations were only startedagain when the Federa- tion requested the aid of Murray Gaunt, MPP for Huron -Bruce. Jack Stafford, a member of the telephone committee said most of the progress was made in a meet- ing held with all telephone com- pany representatives at Belgrave recently. Mason Bailey, president of the Federation, said he realized that far less was being offered than hada been asked for. He said people in the Blyth -Auburn area would be especially unhappy be-, cause they wanted service to Clinton more than Wingham. It was half a loaf,' he said, but it was better than nothing. He said the fight proved that the Federation must learn not to take no for an answer. If it had done this, he said, the toll-free areas would not have been enlarged at all. The larger area will cost the average telephone subscriber about 10 cents per month. Jan. date set for project - urge strong public support Wingham Kinsmen Club's Cys- tic Fibrosis project will get off the ground in early January. At that time, members are planning the sale of a chemical ice melter in and around the community. The chemical melter was chosen over salt as members of. the club felt the corrosive action of salt on metal and concrete would not make it attractive to numerous ople. Peter McGillawaee is chair- man of this project and hals re- ceived 'the full support of other members. They are hoping public support will be strong and all will assist with this worthy project. All profits from the sales will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to aid in the research and treatment of this disease. The Kinsmen fight against C.F.is a District One project and most clubs in this area are having similar special events. In other business discussed at the regular Kin meeting last Tuesday evening, " radio auction chairman Bruce Green made fi- nal arrangements for that event and Santa Claus parade float chairman Rick Tysick asked members for assistance with the Kinsmen's float on Friday eve- ning. Winner of the Grey Cup draw By Murray Gaunt, MPP (Huron Bruce) was Gary Double of RR 3, Wing - ham ; he was awarded the $300 cash prize. Chairman of this pro- ject, Don Carter, was congratu- lated on his enthusiastic and careful management of the event. He stated that, while a fi- nal financial report has yet to be presented, a profit of approxi- mately $500 is expected, the mon- ey •likely being used to help pay for the new lights at the ball park. President Alex Strong presided at the meeting and welcomed new member, Gary Watcher. Guests attending included Larry McDonald, Brian McEwaf and Bob Crawford as well as draw winner ,Gary Double. Report from Queen's Park During debate on the Budget this week, I tried to convey to the Government that if they are ada- mant about going ahead with Re- gional Government, they should consider Bruce and Huron Counties as separate areas.: Ih other words, the present county .boundaries should be used, and any regionalitation should take place within the respective county boundaries: The Treas- urer had indicated that this would require a change in the present yardsticks used to set up regional government, but this is, of course, not impossible. To set up areas as large as the Government has been doing in this current program of regionalization would be completely unworkable and unsatisfactory for the ,people of our area, in my view. Supplementary Government Estimates of $205,574,500 were tabled in the, Legislature this week, to be in addition to the main estimates for the fiscal year 1972-73 of $7,071,413,000 which were tabled earlier this year. The grand total of projected expendi- tures for the coming year are now approximately $7.28 billion. Some $66 million has been requested by the Minister of Health, mostly for payments to physicians under the Ontario Health Insurance Pro- gram Revenue Minister Allan Grossman wants $48 million, nearly all of it for Ontario Hous- ing Corporation projects, and En- vironment Minister Janes Auld 'has requested $18.5 million for 1971 CADILLAC SEDAN DeVILLE This luxurious standard -of -the -world automobile has been driven just 13,000 careful miles by a middleage' couple.

The Honourable Fern "Guindon, Minister of Labour, has an- nounced changes in the minimum wage regulations in the province, Which will become effective on the 1st February, 1973. As of that date, construction industry em- ployees will have a minimuof $2.05 and for genm ual industry employees the figure will be $1.80 per hour. Student employees have been defined as being under 18 years of age, and the new stu- dent rate will be +$1.45 per. hour, while full time employees under the age of 18 are to receive the regular minimum rate of $1.80. A number of amendments to The Dental Technologists Act 1972 have been introduced, and discussion continues on this Bill which would establish a new den- tal auxiliary to deal directly with the public. Dr. Potter, the Minis-' ter of Health, has ,stated that one of the main government aims in licencing denturists is to make it possible for the public to obtain quality dentures as economically as possible. The Ontario Dental Association.and . the College of Dental Surgons have now made a submission to the Government that they are prepared to guaran- tee the provision of full normal, standard set of dentures at a cur- rent cost of $180, with any future increase subject to negotiation. • Robert -Nixon, Liberal Leader, said that this commitment from the dentists should be incor -porated in the legislation con- trolling the practice and licenc- ing of denturists. _. The NDP's Morton Shulman made allegations about violence and extortion in the construction industry, and Robert Nixon has asked for a Royal Commission enquiry into these allegations: During discussion of this matter, Dr. Shulman made statements about Attorney General Dalton' Bales, which he later withdrew.

Thirty-five memers and six visi- tors were present. The meeting opened with Christmas music with Mrs. Gal- braith at the piano. A Christmas carol was sung and Mrs. Bone read scripture. Mrs. George Guest sang a lovely seasonal polo with Mrs. Passmore accomphity- ing her. Mrs. Fingland gave an inspir- ing reading on "Why Did Come?" and Mrs. Courtney told three Christmas. stories, "One Small Child", "Mr.. Halfpint" and "Happiest Christmas". Mrs: Fingland then led in prayer and another carol was sung. Mrs. O. Boss then took charge of the business portion of the meeting. Mrs. Shiell gave a re- port of 112 nursing home calls and 15 private calls made in the last month. A total of 731 calls were made during the year, Mrs. Boss read the detailed report of all the units which was supplied by Mrs. Campbell. Mrs. Jardine and Mrs. Halliday collected the offering which was dedicated by Mrs. Boss. With the singing of "0 Little Town of Bethlehem", the meet- ing came to a close and sand- wiches and fruit cake were served. The January meeting will be held on the 9th with Mrs. Lock- wood as convener. A tightwad was shopping for an inexpensive birthday gift, but the only cheap thing he could find was a badly broken vase. He bought it for almost nothing and asked the store to send it—figur- ing t figur- ing his friend would think it was broken in the mail. A week later he received a note: "Many thanks for the vase. It was nice of you to wrap each piece separately." County votes tc form health council Decision was made at last week's meeting of Huron County Council to make application to the provincial government to form a District Council of Health. According to Dr. Frank Mills, Huron County Medical Officer of Health, a district council of health is composed of repre- sentatives of all medical and re- lated fields in the county, plus an eq al number of lay people to plan, co-ordinate and assess local health services with an eye to He ---recommendations for ways of preventing overlap. Dr. Millslid h meeting)d al- ready been held among medical people in the county who stressed the need for such an orgpnization in Huron. Itis hoped that if the provincial government approves Huron's application, Huron would be a district on its own, part of a - larger area. Dr. Mills saw it as a way to maintain "local autono- my" and give Huron a "political say" in health services here.` "I fear if we don't do it, we'll have it done for us and we won't have much say," said Dr. Mills. Dr, Richard Potter, minister of health for Ontario, has said this move is coming. "I believe the government is looking,for people whq will take the first posit' steps." Province `Pays All costs for the project are to be borne by the provincial gov- ernment. Five other district councils have already been formed in the province at Thunder Bay, Ottawa, Hamilton - Wentworth, Kingston and Sud- bury. It was also suggested by Dr. Mills that if the project was approved, offices would be lo- cated centrally, perhaps at Clin- ton. Councillor Anson McKinley of Stanley Township wondered if there was any assurance that Huron would remain . a district. He was told by Dr. Mills there was "an excellent chance". Bayfield Reeve Ed Oddllefson was enthusiastic about the pro- posal. "It is another step toward maintaining the autonomy of this county," said Mr. Oddliefson. "It might help the government change its mind about a popula- tion of 150,000 being the ideal size for a region. When the main in- dustry is agriculture, population should not be a major considera- tion." "This is going to come," stated Reeve Gerry Ginn. "If you want it to come to Huron we'd better get after it. Ityou want to be part of a larger area, well... it is how you want it. I'd like to see it done in Huron." Clerk -treasurer for the county, John Berry said that the mem- bers of the board of health for the county had "some reservations" about it. "But if we want to have any voice at all, now's our chance," said Mr. Berry. Chairman of the board of health, Reeve Derry Boyle, Ex- eter, said the scheme would not jeopardize any jobs or any boards in the county. "The " government is concerned about health costs in the province," said Mr. Boyle. "I know you're concerned about health costs. It isnot going to cost the county any money and will help prevent an overlapping of , health services." The board of health also re- ported that William Empey has resigned as chief health inspector for Huron. The replacement is J. K. McCaul, effective December 4, at a salary of $10,300 per an- num. it is also confirmed that the nurses' office in the main office in the Court House, Goderich, will be improved and updated with nursing stations installed and • some new furnishings.
