NOM 1L0 Conestoga College ° of Applied Arts and Technology We've got a lot to share budgets presented now are a proved subject to final revisl at budget time in early 1978. The budget for the Huro Planning Board drew th most comment and count council turned down a request fo senior planning tech nician. While council did grant a approximate six per cent in crease to the existing planning staff — a planning director, tw planners and a planning tech nician — it turned the buds back to .committee for revisions The planning budget called fo totalling $162,090 up ,nearly $28,000 over last year' budget of $134,200. But Chalrna Bill Clifford of Goderich said th county taxpayers' portionofth budget will be increased by $42,400, mostly because the Comamitymity Study Grants will be de layed until 1979 because of an On tario government policy to hold back grant money until final ministry approval is granted for completed planning procedures in the municipalities. "-There is a delay of six months to a year on. certain funds," said Chairman Clifford. SIX PER CENT Goderich Township Reeve Gerry Ginn noted the direct cost to Huron County residents in 1978 is up 36 per cent. He asked how council intended to keep the total county increase in 1978 to six per cent if one committee was al- lowed this kind of an increase. Reeve Bill Elston, Morris, said planning board costs are getting "completely out of control" and felt ways should be found to reduce the cost of planning rather than asking the people to pay more toward the process. Frank Cook, deputy -reeve of Clinton, predicted the planning process, unless controlled or al- tered, would "cost our taxpayers in Huron County a lot of money". Reeve Clifford explained that the total workload in the planning office is increasing. Planning director Gary Davidson con- firmed this, saying the depart- ment is only about half -way through the preparation of the secondary plans requested by the various tnunicipalities. All but two municipalities have re- quested secondary plans, David- son said, and the towns are now p- asking that their secondary plans one be updated.. Clifford added that the plan - on ning department has used the e services of a part-time draftsman y for two years now, and that if an - or other senior planning technician - was hired, the junior planning n technician could handle those - duties. Looking at it this way, Clifford reasoned, the new staff o member would cost the county only about $9,000 per annum. et Clifford also noted that the conversion to the metric system or in the planning department has to , be done and is making additional g work for the staff. n • "THINK IT OVER" e The Goderich `reeve urged e council to "think it over care- fully," saying that if added staff - was turned dhown, less planning - would be completed In 1978 and - municipaliites must be prepared to wait for their secondary plans. Harold Robinson, reeve of Howick, said the secondary plans "are no great shakes and said he felt Huron County wasn't such a • bad place to live when there was no planning at all. Stanley Deputy -Reeve Paul Steckle said planning is "going on behind the scenes" by people of all walks of life interested in their own personal affairs. He said that in a municipality like Stanley Township which has lakefront land, there are more non-resi- dents than residents involved in this kind of planning. When citizens go about planning in such a haphazard way, Steckle said, the local councils find themselves with some real problems on their hands. Steckle said he had not always been happy with the county plan- ning department, but com- mended the planners for the assistance they had provided to the townships in most instances Reeve Ed Oddleifson, Bayfield, 'echoed those sentiments, saying the Huron County Planning De- partment had helped to protect Bayfield from becoming "some- thing we didn't want".

FAST, ECONOMICAL, HIGH QUALITY COPIES Fordwich Best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Tim Bunker who were married Saturday in the Gorrie United Church, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Zimmermalt in the Fordwich United Church and to Mr. and Mrs. Chris Bain (Angie Hones) in the Drayton Catholic Church.

The third doctor to arrive in Wingham was Dr. James Edgar Tamblyn in 1868. He was a physi- cian and surgeon. He resided in a fine home built on a double lot on the corner of Minnie and John Streets. (Now the home of Jack Alexander) . In the beginning his office was at the corner of Josephine and Victoria Streets. Later his office was a wing of the house running north to John Street. (When A. M. Crawford bought the house in 1926 the office became the two car garage at the rear of the house) . There was a large stable on the west side of the lot facing John Street, where the doctor kept two fine driving horses to take him around on his calls. In addition the doctor owned the two dwell- ings west of his home and also the house on Minnie Street now owned by David Murray. Dr. Tamblyn served on the first council in the Village of Wingham in 1874. He and his wife took a keen interest in all civic affairs. Mrs. Tamblyn gave untiring efforts to have the old Railway changed from narrow gauge to standard gauge. For this undertaking she was handsomely rewarded. In 1916 the site of his first office was sold to Ezra Merkley to add to his holdings on Josephine Street. This later became Merk- Iey's Garage (now Texaco). Washington Tamblyn, their son, was educated in Wingham schools and graduated as a doc- tor from a United States college. Of course he could not practise in Canada, but on many occasions he was able to help his father in cases of critical illness or acci- dent. After his parents' death he lived on in the home surrounded by cedar hedges and picket fences until he sold the property to A. M. Crawford. He then moved to a house on John St., spending his summers at his cot- tage on Kincardine Beach. A painting from the Tamblyn home now hangs in the Wingham Museum. Deputy -reeve Eldrid Simmons of Exeter said that to hire an- other planner was "the cheapest route". He suggested that if local councils hired their own planning consultants, they would find it much more expensive: He suggested that if the county turned down the planning board's recommendation, it would show councillors were "not looking far enough ahead on this". "Local authority also involves local responsibility," said Gary Davidson. MANY AREAS This planning board showed in- creases for office and drafting supplies, postage, telephone, travel allowances, memberships and publications, legal fees and equipment. The property budget was ap- proved without question. Court house maintenance is up just under $4,000 from $83,450 to $87,400. Registry office main- tenance goes from $7,425 to $9,840 and the assessment building maintenance is up close to $10,000 from $25,200 to $34,720. The museum budget shows an increase for county taxpayers of $6,625 from $43,475 to $50,100. Salaries are up $3,400 to $53,400; employee benefits are up $2,275 to $8,200; utilities are up $450 to $1,650; and the telephone is up $100 to $450. The budget for Huronview is up $164,628 over this year and rep- resnts just about $8,000 more for Huron County taxpayers to raise. The Huron apportionment of Huronview costs is $208,354 in 1978, nearly $6,000 more than the 1977 budget figure of $108,430. The budget showed that general assistance is up $26,000 to $294,900 and administration costs are up $7,200. The county development budget is up $4,600 to $49,800 with the increases showing up in salaries for the office and the committee, employee benefits and zerox and printing.

The Wingham Advance -Times, November 30, 1977 --Page W Keep homemade soup on hand for winter Good hot soup is a treat with many of us during the winter months. An even nicer treat for cold, hungry people is a big steaming bowl of homemade, nourishing soup, the food special- ists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food. As well as being flavorful and nutritious, homemade soup is also economical. Think of the number of times that you've poured vegetable cooking water, rich in nutrients, down the drain. This vegetable stock is a tasty base on which to begin a soup. Make a white or brown soup stock with leftover beef, pork, ham, chicken, or turkey plus the bones. Cover the meat and bones with water, bring to the boil and simmer for several hours. Your favorite seasonings, such as onions, carrots, bay leaves, par- sley, celery, salt and pepper may be added to suit your taste. Carrot or celery tops may also be added for extra flavor. When the What's new at Huronview? Dick Roorda led the Stinday evening song service sponsored by the Clinton Christian Re- formed Church. Mrs. Vanderwal and her two daughters sang a vocal trio. The Goderich Township Women's Institute volunteers assisted with activities at the Monday old time music program. Mrs. Maitland Driver, Molly Cox, Norman Speir and Cecil Skinner provided the music. Mrs. John Henderson of Sea - forth arranged and accompanied the Family Night program, and Mrs. Barbara Scherbarth was emcee. The program included stepdancing and vocal solos, duets, trios and quartet numbers. The Henderson sisters, Donna, Darlene and Debbie, and the Scherbarth sisters, Lou and Mar- cia, and Patti O'Rourke enter- tained. Mrs. Maude Dale thanked the entertainers on behalf of the residents. Ed Stiles of Goderich played an hour of organ music on Thursday afternoon and accompanied. Betty Rodgers in vocal solos. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Buchanan who cele- brated their 59th wedding an- niversary on November 25. Bluevale Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Stamper and family attended the wedding of her nephew, Ronald Paisley and Miss Penny Lumdert in Parkhill United Church on Satur- day, Nov. 26. stock is finished, strain it, let it cool, and remove the fat. At this stage, the stock may be frozen to be used for soup at a later date. Check your particular recipe for instructions as to how to com- plete the soup from the basic stock, whether it be a cream, vegetable, chowder, or clear soup. Fresh vegetables add great flavor to soups, and there are many Ontario winter vegetables available now. Try a vegetable soup using different combina- tions of carrots, potatoes, ruta- bagas, onions, parsnips, mush- rooms, cabbage, or squash. Left- over vegetables from tonight's supper can be pureed and added to stock or frozen for up to one month and used for soup another time. Don't be afraid to try different vegetables and seasonings to- gether. There are endless flavor variations and you can have a different soup every time. For convenience, freeze the basic stock or the puree of veget- ables and add the final ingre- dients when you plan to serve the soup. The finished soup may be frozen as well, but will take up more space in your freezer than the basin atock. If you plan to freeze the fin- ished soup, add the seasonings at the time it is reheated because some seasonings lost flavor when frozen while others develop stronger flavors. But whether you freeze the stock or finished soup, always keep some on hand for quick warm-ups this winter. R. W.
