Council seeks $67,000 BIA loan
With the proper information gathered
and a resolution supporting the Clinton
Business Imporovement Area (BIA)
proposals passed, council will be re-
applying to the ministry of housing for a
$67,243 loan.
The loan intertest loan will be used to
carry out BIA work in Clinton, and will be
payable over a 10 year period, at one per
cent interest. The town will pay half the
loan, whil1 business people in the BIA area
will cover another 50 per cent of the costs
through assessment on their taxes.
Clinton's first application was not ac-
cepted by the ministry because the in-
formation they required was not complete.
However with the preliminary application
sent, the town is confident that they will be
able to receive funding.
The Clinton's application rinust be in
ministry hands before the end of March,
when the low interest loan program ends.

Summer school -tom be held
Summer may now just be a fond
memory but the Huron County Board of
Education has already initiated plans for a
third session of summer school.
At its regular monthly meeting in Clin-
ton last week, trustees endorsed a motion
to offer a summer school program at Cen-
tral Huron Secondary School in 1981. The
program will run for six weeks and offer
both credit and non-credit courses.
The summer school program was in-
.tiated in 1979 and offered non-credit
Huron Health Unit
to get prov. firt.
The Huron County Health Unit was one
of six units in the province to receive a
substantial increase in provincial support,
for the operating budget.
Last week the Ministry of Health an-
nounced that the Huron County Health
Unit. would reteive increases .from 60 to 75
per cent as part.of the Ministry's papaw -
ed plan to rationalize funding across the
province.
County -clerk treasurer, Bill Healy said
the provincial paid 71 per cent of the total
health budget in 1981 and the subsidy
would be increased to 75 per cent in 1982.
The increased subsidy is a direct result of
lobbying on the part of several health units
in the province.
In 1980 the county health budget was
$675,468 and the province picked up
$388,394 or 57.5 per cent of the total cost.
With pressure from several counties the
province will gradually raise the subsidy
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Please be my valentine,
Coz I love you.
No snorts, giggles or gaffaws please,
that's a meaningful little verse.
Now you may think it's silly, mushy
and corny,, but I like it,andhappen to
think that Valentine's Day is one of the
most important holidays of the year.
Oh, I guess I'm just a romantic at
heart, but I really enjoy Valentine's
Day and send out lots of cards and little
gifts to my special friends and
relatives.
Sure it's mushy, it's supposed to be,
and everyone should take advantage of
that. I mean, what other day of the year
can you offer passionate and fervent
messages of love without people
thinking you're emotionally unstable.
Passing out valentines from **Se
punch -out cards and chomping on
cinammon hearts is usually reserved
for kids, but everyone should get into
the spirit of February 14th.
We complain that Christmas is too
Lmaterialistic, birthdays just remind us
of our old age, Canada Day is not really
a holiday, just a�`�day off work, and at
Thanksgiving we eat too much. So
Valentine's Day seems to be the perfect . -
holiday. There's no need for over-
spending, overeating or over -partying.
Valentine's Day only takes a quiet
moment, a card, or a message from the
heart.. .
As corny and cliche as the synics may
think, Valentine's Day is important to
each one of us. It's a wonderful feeling
to be able to show love, and to be loved
in return, and what better way to get us
through these mid -winter blahs.
Just take a few minutes on February
14th, give your grandmother a call,
bake a cheese cake for your 'husband,
send a card to your best friend, or buy a
rose for your wife, you'll be glad you
did!
In the meantime:
Happy Valentine's
toyou one and all,
Hope all your days
Are bright and glad.
(So I couldn't find an appropriate word
that rhymes with "all". Remember
that it's the thought that counts).
