Museum Crowded
Goderich — Huron County
Pioneer Museum is overcrowd-
ed, no space remaining for art-
icles available throughout the
county, curator J. H, Neill said
in an oral report to county
council. He had recommended
at the previous session that an
addition be built.
"It will cost a lot of money
to make more room," he said,
"but how much is the museum
worth today? They tell me in
Toronto it is the only one that
had a profit. By repairing and
cleaning, we feel that Mr. Chis-
holm and I have improved the
exhibits by $5,000."
Mr. Neil termed the office
accommodation "a contemptible
humbug."

Confines Win Two From Pt. Edward
But Lose Important Game to Strathroy
Two wins and a loss is the
record for the Hensall-Zurich
Combines during the past
week's activities, Last Wednes-
day night in Hensall, the locals
crushed the Pt. Edward Red -
men by an 11-2 score, On Fri-
day night, playing back in Pt.
Edward, the Combines eked out
a 9-8 verdict over the same
team, and then back in Hensall
on Sunday afternoon they came
out on the short end of a 7-5
score against Strathroy.
Bob Hoffman was the big gun
in the game at home against Pt.
Edward, as he rapped in three
goals for the locals. Bob Liver-
more and Craig Chapman each
kicked in with two goals, while
Cooper, Morrisey and Cushman
scored one each.
In the Friday night game
Bruce Cooper speared the Com-
bines attach with three goals,
while Bob Livermore had two.
Dale Turvey, Bill Shaddick,
Craig Chapman and Mike Cush-
man each scored once.
The Sunday afternoon game
in Hensall was by far the most
exciting of the three played last
week, as the bitter rivals battled
on even terms throughout the
three periods.
Strathroy took an early lead
in the game, and were leading
2-1 at the end of the first period.
In the second period the Com-
bines came out on top, outscor-
ing their rivals 3-2, to tie the
game,
The big difference came in the
third session, when the Rockets
out -hustled the locals and out-
scored them 3-1 to give them
the vivetory.
Craig Chapman, Earl Wagner,
Bob Livermore, Bruce Cooper
and Mike Cushman each scored
once for the Combines.
Each team was assessed seven
minor penalties in the game,
which at times threatened to
break out in a fight.
Grand Bend Council Seeks Help From
Ont. Government for Water Supply
Grand Bend — Immediate ac-
tion to discover a source of wat-
er via wells on the beach, and
also to persuade the federal
government into easing the silt-
ing problems at the harbour
here, was decided upon by the
village council of Grand Bend
on Friday evening, at a special
meeting presided over by Reeve
Stewart Webb.
The council will pay transpor-
tation costs for a delegation of
15 persons from Grand Bend by
bus to Ottawa, where the Min-
ister of Public Works will be
briefed on the importance of
the fishing industry to this vil-
lage, and to the economy of
this part of Ontario. He will
be requested to make early
plans for a break wall offshore
at the habour entrance to solve
problems of silting which occur
each year.
Delegates from council, the
fishing industry, the Chamber
of Commerce and the pleasure
craft enthusiasts will make up
the party.
Member from Larnbton West,
Walter Foy, Sarnia, has been
out of the country on a winter
holiday. However, he will be
available in Ottawa tomorrow,
Tuesday, January 28, and coun-
cil expects to make arrange-
ments for a hearing with the
Minister of Public 'Works at
that time.
Three years of tests done by
the federal department of pub-
lic works has provided facts
about •currents and sand move-
ments in the Grand Bend har-
bour so that a proper breakwall
can be planned. According to
Councillor Orval Wassmann, the
department advises a cone -

Periodic dredging of the har-
bour has been carried out in
the past. However, the last con-
tract, which was awarded to the
D. G. Crowe Construction Com-
pany for completion in the fall
of 1962 has not yet been ful-
filled.
The Crowe firm made an at-
tempt in the fall of 1962 and
managed very little except to
"mess up" the sand and stone
wall on the south beach. Dur.
ing the fall and early winter of
1963, activity again began in the
river mouth, with the plan ap-
parently to suck up sand onto
the north beach where it could
be trucked away to use as fill in
the road construction program
being carried on here on high-
ways 81 and 21. However, the
equipment brought in was in-
efficient and the work did not
get done.
Sand has been filling up the
entrance to the Aux Sable
River here, to the extent that
near the south pier at the end
of last summer season, there
was only 14 inches of water,
Councillor Howard Green, who
is also a fisherman, reported
that the interference with the
industry is real. He noted that
one boat, valued at $45,000 was
unable to make use of harbour
here last summer.
Councillor Gr e e n reported
that the eight licenced fisher-
men in Grand Bend have an in-
vestment of $250,000 in equip-
ment (and property in addition).
A number of the men have had
to use ether harbours for their
work during the past few years,
Water
Council intends to begin work
immediately to investigate the
water supply available on the
beach, via wells, in order that a
decision can be reached imme-
diately concerning a village
water system.
Delay had been necessary
while council waited for results
of engineering work being pre-
sented by a "group" known to
Councillor Ian G. Coles, How-
ever, at the special meeting on
Friday, called to receive this
information, council was ad-
vised by T. J. McCann, chief
engineer with the Catalytic Con-
struction of Canada Limited,
Sarnia, that they were not pre-
pared to invest any money in
an experimental water .system
at Grand Bend.
Eric Mcllroy, a citizen at the
meeting, urged immediate ac-
tion. "There's hardly a cottage
or hotel with an adequate sup-
ply of water. We have 780
people here the year round, and
this is greatly increased on
weekends throughout the sum-
mer. I honestly think the On-
tario government could give us
something—and I don't mean
just financing—I mean a gift.
This is a growing area, and is
important to the province in
tourist revenue. But we're get.
ting nowhere. We've nothing
but engineers with ideas and
big bills."

gether, "Let's all be in favor,
or all against it." he urged.
Menno Steckle, RR 2, Zurich,
a former member of the Clinton
District Collegiate Institute
Board, questioned a statement
of Mr. Kinkead that he did not
think the mill rate would be
raised, due to the new school.
Mr. Steckle recalled promises
made when additions were put
on the high school at Clinton,
that rate would not be raised.
Kinkead pointed out that
there are now four times as
many children attending school;
transportation is extra; there is
better education offered, and
there are higher salaries due to
a teacher shortage .on the sec-
ondary school level.
Mr. SteckIe complained that
taxes are tremendous. He want-
ed taxation on buildings only,
not on land.
Reeve Ernie Talbot said that
as an individual taxpayer, (not
as reeve), he was NOT interest-
ed in building just a bit of a
school at a time, and adding to
it later,
Anson McKinley, councillor,
pointed out that people really
weren't interested in tax rate.
"If we were," he said, "we
would have joined the school
area long ago. In our section,
SS 5, we've paid an average of
13.9 mills for the past several
years. In that same time the
average in the area has been
8.8 milds. In SS 4 the average
was 11.5 mills; in SS 13, 11.3
mills and in SS 3, 9.6 mills.
"In addition," went on Mc-
Kinley, "just by belonging to
the area we would have had
another $500 per school per
.year, in provincial grant, just
by belonging to the area. That
could have meant three mills."
"When our forefathers built
the schools we are using now,"
McKinley stated, "they didn't
have as much to do it with as
we have now to build the better
ones we need.

education, I wouldn't want to
see it,"
School Area chairman Hugh
Hendrick said that if the town-
ship wants eight rooms they'll
have to move quickly, or some
sections will go in with Hay
Township; some go to Hensall;
some move toward Bayfield, and
there will not be enough school
population to warrant a fully -
graded school of eight rooms.
Bill Armstrong stated his be-
lief that the township should
get in on an 8 -room school while
they had a chance.
Councillor Elmer Hayter fav-
ored the move, He felt it was
hard for youngsters from a
small school to move into the
first year at the high school.
Trustees from USS 9 (Blake)
reported that they had ap-
proached Hay Township al-
ready, and had been accepted
there for sending their children
to a new school planned by Hay.
They are now preparing a peti-
tion to Stanley Township cante-
en asking for release so that
they can take advantage of this
acceptance.
General opinion of the meet-
ing was that a general township
vote would not be satisfactory.
It appeared that school sections
would be asked to reach de-
cisions and give their decision
to council.
"I took my oath to do the best
for the whole township, and so
help me, I'll do just that."
To a comment from someone
that each section should make
up its own mind, Gordon Hill
explained, "Democracy does not
give everyone a chance to please
himself. It gives the majority
the right to rule, and the min-
ority the right to object. But
then the minority must go along
with the majority."
John E. Robinson, trustee at
the Goshen school, noted that
in districts with central schools,
education did not cost more; yet
the children got better educa-
tion and made better citizens for
Canada. He felt that when
school boards and councils were
elected to serve they were given.
the authority to act. "It's an
insult to them for us to carry
on as we do," said Mr, Robin-
son. "We're just saying our
elected people are only pillars.
If they came to us with every
decision, they'd be going up and
down the roads aII the time,
asking for opinions. And I
know how many snowplows
would have been bought!"
He suggested going on with
the building, accepting any
pupils from Tuckersmith that
might want to come in. "If
Tuckersmith wants to send us
100 pupils," he offered, "then
we'll. let the schools at the west
of the township go where they
want to do, and well build with-
out them. Then when they
want in to the area, we'll let
them pay the cost."
Bert Dunn, RR 3, Bayfield,
asked "What's the rush? We've
got schools that are in A-1
shape, with drilled wells and
new furnaces. The Department
of Education has announced
more grants available. As fas
as better education is con:
cerned: I had two children go
to the secondary school in Clin-
ton, and I know what they
brought back. If that's better

Deput-reeve Geiger added,
"We have heard the plans of
the board, now it is up to them
to decide and go ahead with the
project."
Reeve Corbett was not as
much in favor of the location
proposed by the meeting. "Ice
you build a school right beside
Zurich you will still have a lot
of unhappy people," he re-
marked.
A member of the school board.
at Blake (USS 9) Leroy Erb, was
present at the meeting. He told
the group that their section
would ask for permission to join
in the Hay School Area, so they
could close their one -room
school.
