x sca d
with about 117,000 words, many p
approximately 400 pages. It will be a hard

Presenting the rough draft of the book to
Tuckersmith Township Council were Mrs.
Whilsmith and writers Ruth Workman and
Margaret MacLean.
A delegation of Stewart Broadfoot,
Brucefield fire chief, and Bob Caldwell,
fireman, requested the purchase of a paging
system for the Brucefield Fire Department.
Mr. Caldwell presented three quotations he
had received, and council accepted the
lowest, from Perth Communications, for the
purchase of 19 pagers, recorder and ac-
cessory equipment necessary for their
operation at a cost of $8,241.14 and that 50
per cent of this amount be included in the
1985 township fire budget.
Council approved a bylaw appointing a
five -member property standards committee

Ministry sets
HURON - Co-operation is the name of the
game in Winghain District's three year
commitment to study deer in the northern
part of Huron County. The Ministry of
Natural Resources is working not only with
other districts across the province, but with
the local landowners, in order to obtain
detailed information on deer migration,'ac-
tivity and. mortality in the agricultural en-
vironment.
District Biologist Mike Malhiot said, "We
are specifically.. interested in identifying the
types of habitat used by deer on a daily and
seasonal basis so these areas can be better
managed for the benefit of the deer popula-
tion.It is. important to determine the effects
of winter severity on habitat utlization and
the fitness of 'the animals themselves."
Mike went on to say, "Determining the
causes of mortality in the deer herd and the
value of 'supplementary feeding will allow
the Ministry of Natural Resources to work
with the local residents .to help ensure a
plentiful and healthy deer population in
Huron County in the future."
During the winters of 1985-86, it is the in-
tent of the Ministry to capture 25 animals in
baited cages. The animals will be fittedwit'h
radio collars and their movements tracked
for up to three years. Some of the deer will
be tracked continuously during both the
4, Seaforth; Henry Binnendyk and Laird
Finlayson both of R.R. 2. Kippen.
Council accepted the tender of Wesley
Riley Contracting Limited for 16,000 cubic
yards from the township pit of crushed
gravel granular A at $3.65 per unit and 1,000
cubic yards stock piled at the township pit at
$2.00 per cubic yard for a total of $60,400,
subject to the approval of the Ministry of
Transportation and Communications.
Ken Dunn of B.M. Ross and Associates of
Goderich Engineers, will be contacted to
complete a structural analysis of Bridge 11
(McLean Bridge) on Sideroad 20-21, Huron
Road Survey.
Council accepted a recommendation from
the Ministry of Transportation and Cuin-
munications that the speed limit be 60
kilometres per hour on Highway 4, from a
point 50 metres south of the northly limit of
Lot 50 in the Concession to the• Bayfield
River bridge because of a concern over ac-
cidents near the Huronview entrance. Coun-
cillor Robert Broadfoot remarked that
lowering the speed in the area would not
solve the accident problem. He said a turn-
ing lane at the entrance to Huronview was
required.
The Ministry of Transportation and Coin-
munications has advised the township that
the 1985 road and ,bridge grant allocation is
$243,000 allowing for expenditures of
$412,900 in comparison to a grant of $217,600
for 1984 and gross expenditures of $370,800.
Pollard Brothers Limited will supply the
township with liquid calcium chloride at
$1 t .95 per flake ton equivalent as compared
to 1984 rate of $180.25 per flake ton.
Council authorized the hiring of Mary Ann
Drost as part-time teacher at the special
day care centre, Vanastra, at a rate of $5.50
per hour to the end of June on a proba-
tionary period., and if satisfactory at $5.75
per Nur commencing in September.
Council agreed to write the County of
Huron advising that they are opposed to the
use of prime agricultural land within the
township for the proposed construction of a
hydro corridor to service the London area.
Councillor Robert Broadfoot declared a con-
flict of interest and refrained any discussion
on the matter.
Council voted to lenge the convention
policy of the township to amend the policy so
that the cost of the main convention banquet
and closing luncheon• for the delegates and
spouses will be included in the registration
fee.
Council voted to classify the full day and
hail day zoning meetings as full council
meetings.
Council approved the -new slate of rates
for 1985 for various programs at the
Vanastra Recreation Centre which calls for
about a 10 per cent increase in cost of swim-
ming, etc.
up Huron deer study
summer and winter months in order to iden-
tify daily activities. Daily and monthly fixes
on animal locations will be obtained
throughout the year in order to identify
migration patterns and habitat utilization.
Should an animal die, the radio collar will
identify this immediately and cause of death
can be determined right away.
"Previously, this Ministry .has placed the
emphasis on enforcing legislation to control
poacntng anu nog predation, managing the
legal harvest and encouraging the
maintenance of existing habitat in known
wintering areas," Wingham District
Manager Andy Houser said. "This positive
approach, working with the local people,
will provide us with a better understanding
of the deer population while helping to en-
sure that Huron County will always have
deer."
Farm meeting will discuss
"debt set-aside" scheme
HURON - "The worst of the economic ad-
justment in agriculture is yet to come,"
says Tom Oegema, president of the Chris-
tian Farmers Federation of Ontario. The
CFFO have drafted a detailed proposal that,
if adopted, would allow farmers to apply to a
special tribunal for debt `set-aside' for up to•
three years. "We have concluded that debt -
set aside is the best targeted assistance for
those who need more time to adjust to new
economic realities", he says.
The Ontario Federation of Agriculture has
developed the `Agri -bond' concept to make
credit.. available to farmers at lower than
market rates. This proposal would not be a
direct cost to government; it would allow a
lender tax concessions on the interest he
would receive thus allowing him to lend
money at less than market rates.
On April 41at 8:30 p.m. the Huron County
Federation of Agticulture is sponsoring a
meeting at Holmesville Public School where
Bill Jongejan, vice-president of the CFFO,
will talk about debt set-aside; and Jack
' Wilkinson vice-president of OFA will
discuss Agri -bonds.
