Ecutive committee chair- man Ed Oddleifson told council that Liz Warren, Chris Martin and Carol Mcilveen had appear- ed before the committee request- ing financial support.

Mr. Oddleifson said eche Van- astra group was working with funds from a 1978 Canada Works grant and that four people were drawing pay out of that grant.

BLOOD DONOR LINEUP—The Red Cross plea for 0+ and A+ blood brought out a large crowd at the blood donor clinic held Monday at the Masonic Hall. A total of 21:1 pints of blood was collected. A lineup of prospective donors built up early in the evening. Wingham's .ratepayers' .meeting Continued from front page election this year, told the meeting he loves the work and hopes to stay with it. He noted he's spent quite a few years "knocking around municipal work", with 14 years on council and another it on the school board. He said he's lived around here all his life and always had the impression that if one, lives in an area and takes the good things' it offers one should also' be ready to put something back into it He also noted he is no longer employed and so has the time required to serve on county council. Lloyd Gilroy, the challenger for the deputy reeve's position, told the meeting: "All I have to offer is me, primarily." He said he has lived here for the past 10 years and now has more leisure time which he' would like to use to serve the com- munity and county. "I don't have a track record at the moment, but if I can get in the starting gate Maybe I can con- tribute something," he said. The returning councillors, Tom Deyell, Jack Bateson, Allan Harrison, David. Cameron and Ray Walker, gave brief reports on the committees they have served on during the past term and said they are pleased to be returning for another two years. Mr. Bateson declared he would like to have seen an election, noting he has been on council since 1964 and has weathered a good many of them. He also said he doesn't think council made too many mistakes, but he is willing to take a share of the blame for ones it did make, and said the town is "very for- tunate" to have a newspaper which keeps people well in- formed on what council is doing. The reports tell more than council minutes do, he noted. Mr.., Harrison, who served on the day care committee, said he feels the programs offered at the day care and nursery centres here are "second to none; I don't mightn't 42, 72 PLYMOUTH CRICKET x950 Certified 357-1441 74 CHEVROLET 4 DR. 51375 Certified 357-1441 SEE Pg 12 for your Best Man In NOV. 13th's ELECTION AS DEPUTY REEVE care where you go".

He -said the chlorine problem started when the town began adding silicate to its water supply to keep the iron which the water contains in suspension and prolong the,life of the mains. It was necessary to add . a small amount of chlorine to keep the silicate in suspension, he ex- plained, but this didn't really create any taste or problem. The problem arose wheh some of•the four to eight water samples taken every week in different parts of town revealed bacteria and the PUC was ordered by the environment ministry to double s the chlorine dosage to .02 parts per million. He said the ministry t now wants .035 ppm added to the water but the PUC is hoping to stick with the lower dosage. He emphasized that supplying , water to the International Plowing Match had nothing to do with the problem. In his report Mr. Wraith commented he has now been on the, PUC for eight years and has never yet been in an election. "I find that rather strange," he said. He said the commission's current position with regard to Hydro is "quite good" and hopefully, Will . permit it to- gffset some of the scheduled increase in ' power rates this January: He also --noted the " PUC made $52,000 during the past year doing work for 'surrounding communities. At the dose of the meeting Barry Wenger, publisher of The Advance -Times, gave a brief explanation of the Wingham and District Hospital Foundation of which he is chairman. The basic purpose of the foundation is to hold funds donated to the ' hospital so they are not quite so accessible to big government and can be used to expand health services in this area, he said. It will also be working to raise capital around the Wingham area to be used for the proposed ' *holistic health centre at ' the hospital. - He said he feels the centre is "one off the most promising things we have had in this community", and will hopefully make this hospital a leader in the health care field. money in the long run. He explained he is leaving council for personal reasons: he and his wife plan to travel next year and "you can't be away for three or four months and still serve the town". He might try for council again after his return, he added. Gordon Baxter, who will be the only new councillor, after having been acclaimed to the position vacated .by Mr. Mowbray, thanked his nominators and said he feels it is an honor and a privilege to serve the town. He said he didn't realize when he threw his name in the hat he would go in by acclamation. Contest for School Board Incumbent trustees Jack Alexander and Murray Mulvey gave .reports from the school board outlining the numbers of studentsand teachers and the budget.
