and all fuel pumped to
this point has- been
weighed on to the planes
in pounds and divided by
8.4 pounds to determine
the gallonage used, he
explained.
This method is not
very accurate and it
appears that over the.
period of December 1 to
December 31, 1978, we
are approximately 1,100
gallons short. We were
assured by Esso on
December 1, 1978,
however, that they would
cover any shortages,"
Scruton told the com-
mittee.
Scruton went on to
report that the additive
pump was still operating
in an unreliable con-
dition, causing "extreme
frustrations" to the
Business Air Service
personnel who are the
users of the additive. He
told the committee that
many attempts had been
made in the past to get
service on the pump but
no one knows how to
service it, including those
who originally sold and
installed the pump. He
informed the committee
that a total replacement
of the unit might be'
necessary.
Scruton "reported that
high winds on December
17, caused damage to the
doors. of the
Homebuilder's hangar.
He said there was no
apparent damage to
aircraft and the doors
-have been repaired by the
users of the structure.
The co-ordinator told
the committee that the
new portable unicorn
radio was put into service
on. December 11 and
appears to be a good unit.
It came with one crystal

has a six channel
'capacity which can be
added onto later.
Scruton informed tha
committee that a
pressurized water fire
extinguisher has been
placed in the lounge area
,and a dry chemical type
in the pumpho.use by the
electrical service.
A Development
Committee of Dick
Wright and Bill.Bogie and
an Adminstrative
Committee of Councillor
Knights, Reeve Palmer
and Chuck Reid were set
up with the Development
Committee to bring in a
report on fire -fighting
equipment.
A motion was passed to
have the Administrative
Committee. meet with
'Clerk Larry McCabe to
prepare the 1979 budget
with power to act.
A proposal , was
presented to the airport
committee at this
meeting by Hill and
Borgal, Architects and
.Planners, for the new
terminal at the airport.
This proposal was tabled
until the next meeting.°
The airport co-
ordinator was instructed
by the committee to
rn.ake correspondence
available at the airport
from Paul Mace Pullen
advising of a survival
course for a program to
commence in the spring
which will deal with in-
creasing a pilot's ability
to cope with a crisis
situation when downed.

Ken Hunter and airport
co-ordinator Ed Scruton.
The schedule is as
follows: Custom Crating
while enrolled in the
Criminology and Law
Enforcement course at
Conestoga College. Chief
King told the commission
that he found him at that
time to have a keen at-
titude and also mentioned
that . he had good
recommendations.
He will be on 18 months
probation after accepting
the appointment.
The promotion of
Hilgendorff and the
hiring of Affleck are the
result of the resignation
of Sergeant Mervin L.
Witter on November 21,
1978. Witter left the
Goderich Police
Department after ten
years on the force to go
into a new field of em-
ployment with the
Human Rights Com-
mission in Windsor. His
resignation required a
replacement.
When Mayor Harry
Worsell, a,'member of. the
Goderich Police Com-
mission, discovered that
the Police Department
had been coping in both
the absence of Sgt. Witter
and Const. Hilgendorff
who is presently away on
an 11 week course, he

ficer.
"If we can get along
without two officers now,
why do we need to hire
another," he asked Chief
King.
The Chief explained
that one of the reasons,
the police department
was "getting along"
without the two 'officers
now was because this was
one of the least busy
times of the year. To get,
proper coverage for a
town the size of Goderich,
especially in the summer
months, a new officer had
to be hired, he said.
Other police com-
mission members agreed
with the Chief.

Minister of State for
Federal -Provincial
Relations, Marc Lalonde,
tried' to defend the
republican provisions of
Bill C-60 by stating that
they merely reflected
'current practice' con-
cerning- the roles of- the
Queen and the Governor
General, . Most
Canadians, and all the
provincial premiers,
were not fooled by his
distortion of the facts.
However, undoubtedly
the,argument of 'current
practice' will come up
over and again during
future debate. So, let it
first be remembered that
in many cases, 'current
practice' is nothing more
than the practice of the
Trudeau ministry. As
;such, it lies clearly within
the political realm, and is
subjec to change - unless
frozen in a written con-
stitution!
Te -demonstrate in
dramatic fashion the
above point, a list has
been prepared detailing
the many changes which
have weakened the
Canadian Monarchy
during the latter part of
the Queen's reign. They
range from symbolic

salutes on the Sovereign's
Birthday) to substantive

would be lost in the
amount of overtime we
would likely have to pay
to the other officers to get
proper coverage," said
