After watching the council members in action the students asked questions. One young fellpw asked what could be done to stop a neighbour's cattle from trespassing. A discussion was held and Reeve Robert Bell spoke of the importance of keeping line fences mended and the role of fence viewers which council appoints each year, and about having stray cattle impounded and what a pound was. Huron County Warden Paul Steckle, the reeve of Stanley Township, spoke to the students on Huron County Council. Warden Steckle placed several questions to ttie students, to which they will write their answers later: "What do you think should be done with the Huron County Museum?" He spoke of the costly renovations needed for the building. The warden also asked, "What would you do with a group of employees who are making demands for increases in salary in excess of the guidelines set down by the provincial government?" In a special session with students from Stanley, Warden Steckle had them respond to and write down the names of their reeve, their members of council, road superintendent, clerk, assistant clerk, fence viewers and all the other people who make up the total local government team.
