Seconded by Reeve Ball, this carried. • The whole setup -of grants tt5 agrigultural and other organiz- ntions will be reviewed by thei finance -Committee of Huron County Council, with a view to recommending ,changes at a subsequent session. 'ihis pro- posal in the report, presented by Mrs. May Mooney, deputy reeve of Goderich, along with a request for anthority to Study the "advisability of a county fair in preference' to all the 'small Pairs," started a lively, discussion at Thursday after- noon's sitting.

M Mooney eiplained that a larger grant had been requested by Goderich and District Associ- ation for Retarded Children. 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 SERVICE . . . Our _ aim is to time." 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.

Reeve Elgin Thom pa° n, Tuckersmith: "I support What Mr. Walkom has said. If 'S'o'ur farm does not suppbrt you, you cannot go to the government for a grant." 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. Grants Made Grants' approved include ,the following: Huron Plowmen's Association, $100; Huron Plowmen for In- ternational match, $500; Huron County Holstein Club, $100; Huron County Seed Fair, $100; 4 -II Club Leaders' Association, $500; Myth Agricultural So- ciety, $150; Girl Guides Association, $25; Dungannon Agri- cultural Society, $150; Bayfield Agricultural Society, $150; Huron Unit Canadian Cancer Society, $500; regular grants to local libraries, $1,345.

The sarne committee recom- mended that the Ontario muni- cipal employees' retirement System become effective .July 1, 1963. This will mean sevsr ing the present plan with the Mutual Life and taking out paid up annuity policies for all em ployees who have been con tributing to Mutual Life. The county library co -opera five, board comprised, up t) 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.
