by Mrs. May Mooney, deputy
reeve of Goderich, along with a
request for anthority to Study
the "advisability of a county

'small Pairs," started a lively,
discussion at Thursday after-

and the committee had upped
it by $50 to $200, the saine
for Wingham associatIon.
legislativess...slommittee
had before it a resolution from
Bruce proposing that the de
pertinent of education "assist in
financing schools for retarded
i children on the same basis as
the public schools." The corn-
tmittee concurred, changing the
t wording to "extend greater as-
sistance." Chairman William
Ball said:. "We did not know
what aid the schools were get-
ting, Clerk Berry reported $30
a month per pepil attending
half -days, $55 for those attend-
ing all day.)
Reeve 'Frank Walkom of
Goderich, not a member of 'the
finance committee, started the
ball rolling in regard to grants
to breeders. -
"These are monied groups,"
he said, "ands -1 see no reason
why grants of $50 or $100
should be given to them any
niore than to turkey breeders
or broiler breeders or any ef
these. We know it has been
going on for years, but we
, should break ,asts;kilem it some

Warden Forbes: "I have fel
i -along these lines myself, bit
talking to Doug. Miles he says
most of the money the breed
fassociations get is for •promo
itional work, and he figures it is
for thr-ben-e-fit of agriculture.' -
IReeve Walkom: "Most ol.
Ithem are able to support them -
;selves by dues or fees."
Reeve-Glen'trW-&bb, 'Stephen!'
We cut off all these grants the

Mr. Walkom has said. If 'S'o'ur

Likes Little Fairs
Reeve Tom Leiper, Hullett:
"They are trying to carry on
for the benefit of agriculture,
and we are all benefitting,..in-
directly. I would not like to
see it cut off. As for a county
fair, it might be better,
at the Fairs Association it is
always argued that the little
fairs keep the big ones going.
I would like to see the little
fairs get a bigger percentAge
of Dominion and Provnicial
grants."
Reeve Ball noted that the
committee had 4tecommended
no action on a request from
Waterloo University for a grant
for bursaries.
kave Western $2,500,
phis $200' for bursaries," he
said.
Mrs. Mooney' said the pro-
portion of HurOn students at
Waterloo is about 25'; —around
20 persons.
It seems a little unfair."
said Mr. Ball.
County Fair?
Getting .bsaelt to the county
fair proposal, Reeve, Webb
ed that the subject was. covered
nicely in p district newspaper
a reference to the waFtleti',s
presentatiaa of the stihjett.
Reeve Leiper: "There a e 1.2
fairs in -the comity, with 25 to
30 members each; about 3(10
interested people. About 30%
of their outlay has, to,,he fin-
anced through donations. The
department encourages these
fairs to keep gOing if possible..
Deputy Reeve Gibson, flow -
ick: "I do not think it would
be the best thing to • do away
with the small fairs in favor
of a county fair. It is very
much apposed at. Teo -onto.,"
Warden Forbes: "I -would be
in favor of a couple of 441 or
spring fairs. The public is not
interested in horses the way
they were years, ago. Huron is
agricUltural, but not the way
it was when we had a popula-
tion of 90,000 and was pre.
dorninantly- rural. Farmers
lived on 60 and 80 -acres, and
everybody was ,:interested in
livestock. I feel certain today
that the horse business is a
forgotten art, and fellows under
30 would net know how to har-
ness one." ,
Reeve Leiper: "Just because
we de not get big gate receipts
does not say we are not doing
what we set out to do—improve
agriculture. A lot of people
think young people are not. int"
terested, but I understand Hen.
Warden Forbes: "Quitea few S
go, to Toronto, Hamilton and
Kingston, too. I believe that g
through Ate. years we have 1
given as much to Western as
other counties except Middle-
sex. I believe we were giving
$5,000' d year." --
Mr. Ball: We have probably
the second largest number at
'Citatefloa, and we should per-
haps increase it- a bit." '
Mrs. Mooney: "Dr. Hall of
Western spOke to council
January, and I think they will
be disappointed."
Reeve Webb: "I support Mr.
Ball. Waterloo has a large
building program; and we have
approximately 25% of the -stud--
ents, and bound to inerease."
'Clerk Berry: "In their letter
they just asked for funds for
bursaries, but they may be get-
ting into a beijding program."
Reeve Ernest Talbot,'' Stan-
ley: "The committee would be
glad t� be guided by 'council
in this matter, 'and certainly
is open to any suggestions."
Mr: 13erry:- -"The committee
will review the grants. If we
cut° them all off, they would
all be here at the June session.
By the time the 'year is over
we will have a solution for
next year."
Mrs. Mooney: "My committee,
members fell they would like
someguidance regarding Water-
loo bursaries. These are given
to needy students, _ provided
they reach second-class honors
all had 70 -or 80 calves out."
Warden Forbes: "The reason
ates are small is that the
mblic is not interested. You
are getting srid of your prize
money, anyway."
Reeve Leiper: "We are im-
proving stock,. too."
Reeve Ralph Jewells.ColbOrne:
"I think the way for county
council is to adopt a resolution
to the department of agricul
ture in 'Toronto and let them
work on the fair boards. I do
not see ho W we can get any-
where here, unless by cutting
off,the grants, and I don't think
I can go for that yet."
Report of the finance and
executive- committee was then
adopted.

Banquet Too Big
At the January session it w
intimated that the invitatio
list for the annual warden
banquet has become unwield
and the warden'eand persenn
committee reported on Thur
day that It has "deleted severa
names, and in total reduced th
number of potential invitation
by 72. The number to be in
vited nOW stands at 240, plu
the current warden's counci
and friends. We redimmen
that k. future one member o
parliament only. be asked t
speak on behalf of both Issl
eral and provincial Houses and
that this member be a head
able guest."
The sarne committee recom-
mended that the Ontario muni-
cipal employees' retirement

1, 1963. This will mean sevsr
ing the present plan with the
Mutual Life and taking out paid

four or five years ago, three
county councillors and three
other Huron citizens elected at
the annual meeting for three-
year terms. This provided co 1-
tinuity. A few years ago the
elected members were dropped,
but evidently the library board
constitution has only now been
amended. Thecenncil's com-
mittee, of which Reeve Morgan
Agnew of Clinton is chairman,
reported Thursday that the con-
stitution had been "-duly amend-
ed to bring it into line withoot

of inem60s-Of county council,"
and the clerk -treasurer and de-
