"Gee, I come here all set to do some Kindergarten tests, and all
they do is ask my mom the questions." David Smith, of Goderich
Township, looks a trifle bored as health nurse Marguerite
Falconer asks David's mother, Bev, about his medical history
before testing his hearing and vision, and brushing his teeth with
flouride at Holmesville Public School last Wednesday. The health
tests are required before children enter Kindergarten in the fall.

Hopes hail will be up before long
By Shelley McPhee
Work is underway in
Goderich Township to
draw up new plans for
community hall and the
towsnhip council hopes to
have the project com-
. pleted by the end of the
year.
Reeve Grant Stirling
explained that. Con Dign
Construction, one of the
contractors who bid oh
the original hall plans,
are preparing a new
modified set of drawings
for a township hall.
Con Dign was the
seventh highest of - 11
bidders to tender for the
first hall plans, which
wer scraped by council
when they were studying..
the "• first proposal.
However, Reeve Stirling
said that council .liked
Con Dign's plans for.,a
smaller building and
decided to have him draw
•u. ..,•tans. The architect
firm o Kyles, Kyles and
-Garratt had drawn the
plans for the first ball,
but council felt their fees
were too expensive and
decided to have Con Dign
prepare the next plan.
The original plans were
rejected by council after
it was decided that the
construction of • a hall
costing over $500,000 was
more than the township
needed.
The township also
couldn't come to a
satisfactory agreement
with 'the Huron County
board of education on
whose property the hall
• was to have been located.
The new plans will be
for a modified version of
the first hall and. ac-
cording to Reeve Stirling,
will cost well under
$400,000. The new plans
will include council
chambers and a clerk's
office, storage space for
old records, . an
auditorium and an ad-
joinSng all purpose
meeting room.
The new- hall will be
built on township owhed
land • behind the present
township shed, instead of
behind Holmesville
Public School.
Reeve Stirling ex-
plained that the Board of
Education wanted to use
the . auditorium of the
township building as a
school gymnasium and
offered to clean the area
as payment for using it.
"We figured the
auditorium would be
worth more than just
cleaning up and we didn't
Think it was a fair shake,"
Reeve Stirling said.
He also noted that
council agreed that a
smaller building could be
adequately situated on
the township's own land
and won't be any burden
to taxpayers for con-
struction costs. '
Reeve Stirling felt that
most people in the
township are satisfied
with the new 'proposal
and the building will be
large enough to use for
municipal purposes as
well as bring in some'
extra revenue through..
rentals.
"Three yearsago it
looked feasible to build a
large complex," he sails'
"but energy and money
have changed since
then."
Reeve Stirling said that
plans for the new hall will
be completed within a
few weeks and he_ihopes
that the building will be
finished by the end of the
year. The final date for
cbnstruction is March 1,
1981 if the township is to
receive any financial
assistance ,from Win-
tario.
The township's file is
being kept open until that
date. and -Reeve Stirling,
'doesn't think there will be
much problem getting.
grants since the original
hal: costs were accepted •,
