Honored by
roadbuilders
At the annual meeting of
the Ontario Roadbuilders'
Association in Pronto last
week, Joe Kerr of Wingharn
received a signal honor.
Mr. Kerr was granted an
honorable mention and a
standing ovation in
recognition of his 50 years as
a member of the association.
No other members have, as
yet, achieved this distinc-
tion.
A few months ago, when
The Advance -Times
recorded the veteran
businessmen of Wingham,
Mr. Kerr's record was over-
looked. He ,has been in
business in Wingham for no
less than 54 years. His first
location was in the building
immediately west of the
arena. Later he erected and
occupied the building now
known as Cap'n Zack's
Restaurant, before moving
to his present main street
south location.

supporting legislation.
'Last fall, representatives
from the retail food industry
told the government that to
start conversion they would
need legislation and a
sponsored campaign to
achieve consumer ac-
ceptance. They said that the
government should also have
to demonstrate by an appro-
priate consumer survey that
this campaign had been
effective. This survey has, so
far, not been conducted.
"Citizens have 60 days
from February 28, 1981, to
register their objections to
the department of consumer
and corporate affairs to this
new legislation which will
make illegal - the use of
Canadian units of measure-
ment in the retail trade of
commodities including food-
stuffs."
To voice objections write
to the assistant deputy
minister of consumer af-
fairs, 1 Place du Portage,
Hull, Quebec, KIA 09C, or
call 992-3819.

Study
Continued from Front Page
The consultants surveyed
slightly more than 1,000
seniors in Wingham and area
via a mail -out questionnaire
and received 82 responses.
However Mr. Starr said the
low reponse rate really isn't
a factor, since only people
interested in • new ac-
commodation were asked to
respond.
About half the question-
naires were sent to Wingham
residents and half to
residents of the surrounding
townships, but three-
quarters of the responses
carne from within the town.
The consultants agreed to
bring their final report to
council at its May meeting.
In the interim council for-
med an ad hoc committee of
Mr. Miller, Jim Currie, Pat
Bailey and Dick LeVan to
look into the possibility of
setting up a non-profit
housing corporation, as well
as check whether there's any
possibility of getting action
through the Ontario Housing
Corporation.
The OHC had agreed to
build additional low rental
seniors' units in Wingharn,
nut the project was &Wed
when public pressure forced
the previous council to
abandon the Cruickshank
Park as the site for the
building.
