James W. Britnell, county en- gineer, told councilors that an ex- tra mill would allow the county to construct about four more miles of road each year. At present, sev- en mills set aside for road purpos- es allow the county to construct 7.9 miles a year, after maintenance and bridge costs are deducted. The second five-year plan redu- ces in size the road program in fu- ture years. In a recorded vote, sev- en councillors favored the larger road program and the extra mill on the tax rate, while 28 negative votes were counted. The adopted plan calls for road construction and paving on Coun- ty Road 12 between Seaforth, Brus- sels, Belton and Wroxeter; on County Road 27 between Carlow and Nile; on County Road 4 be- tween Crediton and Khiva; and on County Road' 19 in the Ethel area. Mr. Britness in explaining coun- ty road costs, said that maintenan- ce requires $350,000 yearly, with the county's share of this amount being $169,000. Of this, $165,000 is set aside for roads, and $4,000 for bridges. Fixed county road expenses in- clude $28,000 for rebates, $30,000 for overhead, and $60,000 for new machinery. The county engineer said that the average road costs $25,000 a mile to construct, and $10,000 a mile to pave. Against Election The majority of Huron County councillors would sooner appoint members of their district high school board than have them elec- ted, a recorded vote taken Thurs- day during county council sessions shows. The vote was taken when coun- cil was deciding what action to take on a resolution from the County of Ontario. (A similar resolution was received from Elgin County-. The resolution recommends that legislation be passed by the govern- ment to amend the present Secon- TIEMAN'S HARDWARE • Plumbing • Heating, • Oil Burner Service • Electrical Work SALES and SERVICE FURNITURE, COAL and CEMENT PHONE 8 — DASHWOOD dary Schools and Boards of Edu- . cation Act, so that high school board members can be elected dir- ectly by the municipality rather than appointment. The vote was 28 to 8 in favor of appointing board members. The Huron legislative committee had recommended that council concur with the resolution. iety, in his report, stated that 50 children were placed for adoption; 32 families with 14 children were under the CAS supervision; 71 children were in care, with 34 of these being on adoption probation. Mr. MacMillan especially than- ked Judge Frank Fingland, Mag- istrate Glenn Hayes, the clerk - treasurer John G. Berry and his a -s sistant Bill Hanly, the board of dir- ectors, and members of council. County Home Report The 1960 Huron County Home committee, by carefully scanning tenders, was able to pare about $23,000 from its budget when it purchased furniture for the new addition to the county home. The committee planned to spend $77,000 for furniture at the home, and at Wednesday's session of Hur- on council was lauded when it submitted a report showing it had spent only $54,350.30 on furnish-' ings. John G. Berry, clerk -treasurer of the county, said there are "still a few small items to be purchased, but the saving will still be more than $20,000." Harvey Johnston, t h e county hone superintendent, said there arcs 108 patients at present resid- ing in the home. This is the larg- est number since he began as sup- erintendent in 1954, when there were 66. He outlined the staff arrange- ment at the home, which provides the services of a doctor, nurses, maids, engineers, cooks, and even a seamstress. When the new addition is op- ened to the public, probably about Easter, a large nursing staff will be needed, he said. The home may also need assis- tance in the laundry, and an extra man to care for corridor floors. The shape of fields around the new sewage lagoon will also have to be changed, he said.

Society of Goshen United Church met at the home of president, Mrs. Bruce Keyes, on January 19. There were 20 members present. Mrs. Allan Armstrong, assisted by Mrs. Keith McBride, were in charge of the worship, Mrs. T. J. Pitt gave the Mission Study; a story of a "trip around the world", by anther Betty Thompson .and of her many stops made at mission fields, hospitals and churches, spending a month in India and from there to Burma. Mrs. Roy McBride read a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Norman John- ston. An invitation to join with Varna for World Day of Prayer was accepted. A letter from the supply secretary expressed an urgent need NaimounimienimminimiallY Sugar and Spice (Continued from Page Two) I always suggest paring the food bill. "Those kids would be a lot better off if they ate more porrid- ge and cheap healthy stuff like that," I always say This merely leads to an outburst in which she claims that I have just accused her of being an extravagant and waste- ful cook. This puts me on the de- fensive. And that's exactly where she wants me. Now the pencil stabs the paper relentlessly, and comes the inevitable question, "Do you realize how much you spend on cig- arettes?" And it turns out, as it always does, that if I stopped smok- ing, and gave up my pre -dinner bottle of ale, the budget would balance, the sun would shine ev- ery day, and my family would love, respect and obey me. So I prom- ise to do it. Next day, the Old Lady feels so good about having balanced the budget and reformed me, that she buys a new dress. So I reckon that if she can afford a new dress, things aren't so tough, and I slip downtown and pick up a large deck of weeds and a small box of beer. And we're off for another happy budget -less six months. , l A @Atte ea,. jtt \\\ 1 `V FOR DEPENDABLE HEAT Ai! Winter Long CII LORNE E.
