Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Claude
Bennett announced this week that Gerry Ginn of
Goderich Township has been appointed to the Huron.
County Housing Authority.
Ginn has been extensively involved in local politics
serving on the Goderich Township council for many
years , including several terms as reeve. He is also a
former warden of Huron County.
The appointment announcement by Bennett will
place Ginn on the seven -member authority which
manages Ontario Housing Corporation's 415 assisted.
• housing units in Huron County.
Commenting on the appointment, OHC chairman
Allan Moses, noted that the day-to-day management
of all at uitt,'s 93,000 housing units is carried out by
local housing authorities, although the .primary
responsibility for assisted housing remains with 011-
C.
"By volunteering their time to serve on the local
housing authority, private citizens like Mr. Ginn are
helping to ensure that Ontario's assisted housing
program is sensitive and can respond to the needs of
the many communities it serves," said Moses.
The Huron County Housing Authority manages 331
senior citizen assisted housing units and 84 units for
low-income families. The authority also provides
housing for , physically -disabled and mentally
retarded persons who are capable of living on their -
own.
Crops generally in food shape
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE" .
In general, crops in Huron and Perth counties are
pretty good, according to representatives of the On-
tario Ministry of Agriculture and.Food in both coun-
ties.
John Heard, the assistant agriculture represen-
tative in Huron County and Art Lawson, the associate
agriculture representative in Perth County, said that
while crops in general are good, there are problems
in the white and colored bean crops.
Mr. Lawson saidhe knew of quite a few insurance
claims being filed in Perth County. Mr. Heard com-
mented the crop insurance appraisers were busy in
mid-September.
Both men said there have been some problems with
cornstalk rot in the counties and advised farmers to
shop around for different corn grain seeds for next
year. Mr. Heard said now would be a good time for
the farmers who had this problem, to drive around
and see what corn is standing. This would determine
the kind of corn which will take the particular
weather experienced recently in the counties.
Mr. Heard said the rains in September and the high
winds attributed to the corn damage. He also said
stalk rot in corn is associated with the amount of
sugar in the stalk. When the sugar in the stalk
decreases, stalk rot moves in.
Mr. Lawson said despite the stalk rot in places, the
corn crop as a whole will experience a higher yield
this year over last year.
The two men said wheat planting is later this year
because of the inability to get the present crops off
the land. Mr. Lawson said more wheat is being grown
in Perth County this year, while Mr. Heard said,
despite intentions just over half the anticipated wheat
acreage has been planted.
Soybeans in both counties look good. Mr. Lawson
said the average is slightly better than previous
years. Mr. Heard said soybeans look pretty good and
said some 40 bushels had been harvested to date.

year, on March 31, June 30, September 30, and

said one of the reasons for this change from two col-
lections annually to four, was because both the Perth
and Huron Boards of . Education had made the
change.

Old sale bill confirms good old days theory
LISTOWEL - Ralph Keifer of
RR 2, Bluevale found an old
sale bill that makes
yesteryears truly look like
the good old days.
Dating back to the early
1900's, the bill listed items
from a Toronto shop and
noted that 3,000 pounds of
choice dairy butter were
priced at 25 cents per pound
while 200 pails of assorted
jams were selling for 15
cents per pail.
Canned goods included
choice red salmon at 15 cents
per tin, four tins of corn for
25 cents and six tins of

Safety of children a concern
Dear Editor: •
We are a newly formed -
group of people called
Citizens United for Safety
and Justine who are concern-
ed about the safety of
children in our community.
There have recently been'
many attacks, rapes and
murders of children in our
province. It is our
understanding that many
known sex offenders are be-
ing released' into com-
munities across cimada
without reasonable supervi-
sion 'of their day to day ac-
tivities. Why?
Right now there is a law
reform bill called Bill c53
before the House of Com-
mons which could provide
revisions in our criminal
laws. Mr. Jean -Guy Dubois
is chairman of the Standing
Committee of Justice and
Legal Affairs charged with
this review. We want to
strongly encourage this com-
mittee to provide these revi-
sions so that the ordinary
citizen of Canada is better
protected.
Our newly formed citizens
group, of which the recently
bereaved Clausen Family is
an active supporter, appeals
to you for help. We would
like every person who reads
this letter to write a letter of
their own to: Mr. Jean -Guy
DuBois, Chairman.
.Please take time to ex-
press your personal feelings
and concerns regarding -the
obvious failure of the ex-
isting laws to protect us all.
Please forward your letter
to CUSJ, Box 779, Duncan,
B:C. V9L 3Y1 so that we may
package and send them
altogether to Mr. DuBois.
Also, we will make and send
copies of your letters to the
