Ecutive committee chair-

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

more even keel, adding he thinks flavor in the town water supply,
this move will save the town although he noted this had been
explained well in an earlier ar-
ticle in The Advance -Times.
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

during the past year doing work

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.
