Rather than make Howick residents drive all the way to Goderiph to pick up their copies," Coun. John Jacques suggested the township arrange for a number of books to be available at the municipal building in Gorrie. "Senior citizens may have trouble getting to Goderich," he said. "Perhaps sopeone could pick up a hundred (copies of the. atlas) and leave them in Gorrie and those with receipts (indicat- ing they have already paid for a copy) can contact Marvin (Clerk Marvin Bo- Setti )." When undertaken by Huron County Council, the atlas planned was to be similar in size and style to the original Belden Atlas, of 1879 and a subsequent Perth County Atlas published in 1982. But Goderich Township Reeve Grant Stirling, who headed the atlas committee, said increasing public in- terest and participation resulted in a much larger book. The atlas contains 350 pages, is 13 by 18 inches and weighs seven -and -a -half pounds. The pre -publication cer- • tificates for the book are still available for $45. After Oct. 22, the price for theatlaswill be $59.50. • It contains 'nearly one million words and 1000 pictures as well as town- ship maps showing original owners and the stories of over 600 families, organiza-. tions, churches, businesses and the 26 Huron municipal- ities. In other business at the Oct. 3 meeting of council, Howick councillors endorsed a resolution by the Township of Onondaga asking t!.: provincial minister- ,f Municipal Affairs and Housing to recognize the English language as suf- ficient for services provided by most municipalities in Ontario. Coun. , John Jacques suggested the resolution would have•little or no effect on provincial legislation concerning bilingual ser- vices, but aaid, "It indicates our line of thought, so why don't we endorse it." The resolution states since MRS ALLAN GRIFFITH most people in Ontario are English-speaking and, in fact, only 5.2 per cent of the population is ` French- speaking, bilingual services should be provided by local councils where the councils themselves deem it nec- cessary. -It suggests the cost of providing bilingual services could be prohibitive to most councils and often the numbers do not warrant the need for bilingual services. It states, "In areas where French or any other language is required to correctly service a' municipality, the council MAY (sic) if they so desire, supply such information by passing a bylaw in council." The endorsement was unopposed. - Mrs. Holly Keil is Belmore speaker BELMORE — The topic of someone else with whom the the October meeting of the child is acquainted.
