RON de BOER
RR 1, Wroxeter
Phone 3354389
resentative for East
Wawanosh and Blyth on the
Wingham and District
Hospital Board, gave a brief
report on the hospital. She
said the board hopes to be
out of the red by the end of
the year without service
cuts, and alio is aiming to
improve its public relations
by sending summaries of its
activities to the various
municipal councils.
Ross Taylor, who
represents the township on
the Maitland Valley Conser-
vation Authority, said he
hadn't prepared a report, but
he offered to field any
questions.
In response to an invitation
from Councillor John Currie
to describe some of the
things the township is getting
in return for the levy it pays,
Mr. Taylor noted the conser-
vation authority is looking
after the Wawanosh Valley
Park and : also has been
planting a lot of trees on the
land it owns at Wawanosh
Valley. He estimated that
last year the MVCA did
about $6,000 worth of work in
East Wawanosh, double the
township's $3,000 levy.
"How come there's less
wildlife back there now than
before the Maitland Valley
owned it?" John Gaunt
inquired.
I Mean natural wildlife,
not the two -legged wildlife,"
he added. •
Mr. Taylor admitted the
deer population is down, but
said hopefully there will be
more around once the
reforestation has been
completed.
Jim McGee inquired why
the MVCA is going to all the
trouble to plant more shrubs
to increase the partridge
population for hunters from
the cities. "They don't do
anything for us."
However Councillor Ralph
Campbell pointed out that a
sizeable percentage of the
funding for conservation
projects comes from the
provincial government, so it
isn't just local people who
are supporting these
projects.
COUNCILLORS' REPORTS
Mr. Campbell went on to
report on his activities as a
councillor during the past
term. Between municipal
ditches and severances, he
said, it was an exciting two
years.
"You put a lot of flak onto
council about severances,
but it's not us who are asking
for severances, it's farmers,
and if it's helping them out
that's what we try to do."
Mr. Currie, who like Mr.
Campbell is not standing for
reelection to council this fall,
said he hopes never to see
towns sprawled out here like
he saw on a recent trip west.
"We need to bear down on
severances and planning if
we're going to look after the
next ,generation of farmers
coming along," he com-
mented, noting the township
has made a start on its
secondary plan through a
series of house meetings.
He explained, he's not
running again because
between the school board
and council, "I've been here
10 years," and he wanted to
give someone else a chance
to serve.
Neil Vincent, who ll be
returning to counc for
another term, describ e
new alignment of lee
Belgrave recreation bdard
and said he is very happy it
has been able to smooth over
a lot of problems and to get
the support of the com-
munity behind it.
Jim Hunter, at that time
council's newest member.
(since then, following a
r

second nomination period,
he 1.4.4 been joined on the
incoming ,council by Donald
Sclaul pi. RR 3, Blyth, and
Ja� '"'gylor of RR S,
Wi ain);;� was offered a
chance to speak, but
reported he had nothing yet
to say.
CANDIDATES FOR
F REEVE
Donald °iaow, a councillor
who is'running for reeve in
this election, reported on the
Wingham fire board and the
Blyth arena board, com-
mentinrhat he found the
Blytharena ''an expensive
Tattle pl� r.
Like a 'arenas it's costly,
to operate, he noted, and it
could have been engineered
better, as not putting
panes ft an the bottoms
of doo''r kids' skates
go thro m. He said, the
township 4'uld expect to be
approa, M.' .regularly for
contriblitions toward the
aren&soperating deficit.'
Mr. Dow said there were a
few things he didn't like
duringthe past year, and he
disagreed with Reeve Simon
Hallahan on some issues.
' However he didn't specify
what they wereand was not
questioned about them.
He also said he would "like
to take a shot" at county
council.,
Mr. Hallahan congratu-
lated Mr. Dow on running
against him and said' he
doesn't know what's' gone
wrong that . not more are
runningfor council, although
he added, "It's a thankless
job." He said he's been told
that if people want regional
government, the best way to
get it is not to show any in-
terest in elections.
He said said he thinks
"there is a place for
severances and not a place
for them," but if he is re-
elected, "that'll be my
stand: no more severances."
Turnberry Rasp
its secondary plan
Turnberry Township
Council officially passed the
seeond draft of its secondary
plan during its general meet-
ing last week. The plan will
be forwarded to Huron
County'Council for approval.
The project, which began
in 1978, sets outllfrections for
the township- when con-
sidering change, growth and
development within its
boundaries.
Turnberry ratepayers as-
sisted council in creating the
plan by attending public
meetings. The plan will help
in guiding land -use patterns
for the township and en-
suring that development
corresponds with the goals of
the township and with the
county plan.
A severance application
submitted by William J.
Armstrong for Lot 15 and 16,
Con. 1 of Turnberry Town-
ship, was not recommended
for approval because the
council felt it did not con-
form to the secondary plan.
The application called for
the severance of a surplus
dwelling and the creation of
a new lot.
Council awarded a
maximum of $1,000 to John
Norman for his claim under
the Livestock and Poultry
Protection Act. Mr. Norman
submitted a claim after his
1,100 pound heifer, valued at
, MRS. ALLAN GRtFFTTH
11,200, was killed by dogs.
Turnberry Township
received an invoice from the
town of Wingham for its
share of work done on the
Turnberry B -Line and
Arthur Street. The town-
ship's cost share is $3,562.50
and the invoice states the
account may be paid at the
convenience of the township.
Council decided to defer
the account to a future
meeting so that it would be
considered by the new
council.
Turnberry originally had
asked Wingham to delay
work on the B -Line because
tunas for the project had not
been included in the town-
ship's 1980 budget.
A Letter was received from
Huron County stating that
the Huron County Tree
Planting Program has been
disbanded for 1981 and future
years, and the 20 -year agree-.
ment with the McBurneys
has been released after
complaints were submitted
regarding the low survival
rate of the trees.
An invoice from the county
for payment of trees planted
under the McBurney and
Horsburgh agreement
amounted to $518.86. Turn -
berry is responsible for 50
per cent of this cost, with the
remainder being paid by the
owners.

In other business the clerk -
treasurer was instructed to
put all Canadian Vanities
Inc. business taxes into
small claims court for
collection and send a letter to
file an execution with the
sheriff's office in Goderich.
Apparently the corporation's
business taxes have not been
paid since 1978: Amount
owing is $783.16 for. 1978,
$668.67 for 1979, and $764.32

TAXES, ROADS QUERIED
Why are townshiptaxes up
so far above the inflation
rate for the past year?
former' reeve Roy Pattison
queried when the meeting
was thrown open for
discussion. He said all the
blame couldn't be put on the
school taxes, since the town-
ship portion was up even
more than the school portion.
He was told that township
costs on things such as roads
have been going up, and that
one reason for the big jump
this year is that the township
didn't raise its taxes last
year.
"We're in 'a badsituation
here because we don't have
the population and how are
we going to pay for every-
thing?"Mr. Hanna noted.
"1 don't think the day will
ever come when we'll be able
to give the services without
high taxes," Mr. Hallahan
added.
Mr. Campbell seized the
opportunity to ask the rate-
payers how they felt about
switching to two tax billings
per year from one, noting the
township pays a lot of in.:
Wrest asa result of having
only one tax collection.
Hower 'the question went
unanswered.

A radical ,breakthrough in
the whole concept of feedlot
starter rations
Stressed cattle are energy -
deficient cattle, susceptible to
diseases which can cost you
time, money - even the loss
of the sick animal. Research
has shown that the traditional
recipe for stressed cattle -
low-energy, bulky rations and
unlimited drinking water - will
only go part of the way
towards remedying the
problems. What's needed is a
starter ration that combines
first-rate palatability and
c -r
Hipping stresses
