Insall (ouncii Taiks to Reeve
an
Inspector On School tsue$
(by Jessie Cameron)
Monday night Hensall coun-
cil met in the council cham-
bers, and Reeve Norman Jones
presided. Councillor Fred
Broadley was absent.
John Corbett, reeve of Hay
Township, and J. G. Burrows,
school inspector for Huron,
were present to ask for coun-
cil's co-operation in 'issuing de-
bentures, if need be, for a three-
room addition to the Hensall
public school. Mr, Burrows ex-
plained that all assests and lia-
bilities would be taken over by
the new school area in January,
anyway. He said that at a joint
school board meeting it had al-
ready been moved and passed
that additions be built in both
places (Zurich and Hensall).
Reeve Jones asked if there
would be any chance that Hen-
sall would need to have a sew-
age system with a new addition
to the school. Mr. Burrows
said he could not tell, but he
didn't think that 60 more chil-
dren would make that much
difference. Councillor Knight
stated that other centres are in
the same boats, and others are
still worse off. He added that
the facilities in Hensall are real
good, and quite adequate.
When asked about the mill
rate, Mr. Burrows said that with
the consolidation of the debts,
the mill rate would level off.
"After all," he stated, "any gov-
ernment who wanted to stay in
power wouldn't do something to
raise the mill rate. This would
be committing "political sui-
cide."
An addition to the school
would consist of two class-
rooms and an auditorium. The
council took no action on the
issue at this time, but decided
to talk it over with the Hensall
school board.
Wayne Smith, Scout leader,
was given permission to use the
council chambers for six Scout -
leader meetings a year, free of
charge.
W. G. Thompson and Sons
were given permission to shoot
pigeons that had become a
nuisance. The conditions were
that they will be held liable for
any damages.

laws to govern the weight load

will be the same. Signs are to
be erected at both bridges, ad-
vising the travelling public of
the new regulations.

neer's report on sideroad 5-6

hearing the reading of •same.
Having received a petition for

ST. BONIFACE CWL
The St. Boniface Catholic
Women's League held their
monthly meeting on May 26, at
the Town Hall, with 30 mem-
bers in attendance.
Mrs Lerina Rose, who, accom=
panied by Mrs. Mozart Gelinas,
had attended the annual di-
ocesan convention h e 1 d in
Sarnia, gave a brief account of
this great event.
The theme of the convention
this year was "Youth and You".
Mrs. Rose pointed out that much
emphasis was placed upon the
fact that teenagers today need
much love and understanding.
Most young people are basically
good and with the love and un-
derstanding of their parents
they develop into good, respect-
able adults.
Guest speaker for the meet-
ing was Rev. Sister Eileen
Marie, who presented a most
interesting and inspiring talk
on "Mothers".
Sister pointed out the great
role a mother plays in the fam-
ily home. "She is the one who
sets the example and she is the
one from whom the children
derive their great virtues," Sis-
ter stressed. "It is the mother
who must lead the way, always,
and she has as her model, our
Blessed Lady."
A motion was passed to have
the Sister of Sacred Heart Con-
vent enrolled as honorary mem-
bers of the CWL. The meeting
closed with prayer.
done on catch basins and drains,
also that he had picked up the
stones in several areas.
Reeve Jones asked that the
park board be given permission
to open up the well on the south
side of the arena, and have a
pump put on it, and a water
test. Council agreed.
C 1 e r k Campbell suggested
that due to the low cost of the
street paving this year. whieh
was 55,5110.05, the village could
afford to pave another street.
He referred back to a recom-
mendation from the 1961 coun-
cil to pave York Street from
Nelson Street to the CNR tracks
in 1963, which is 700 feet. He
said that this was the agree-
ment when the council decided
not to open York Street to the
highway because of the school
and the heavy traffic.
Mr. Campbell added that he
had been informed there would
be a law suit in another year if
council did not do something
about the western end of York
Street
Knight said he would hate to
have to pave the street just be-
cause of a threat, but he felt
that the agreement was made in
good faith and council was
honor bound to stand by the
agreement. A motion was made
to pave 700 feet of York Street
at the same price of the other
paving, subject to approval of
the Department of Highways.
A letter was received from
Father C. A. Doyle, in Zurich.
requesting the assessments of
four or five properties in Hen-
sall.
By-Iaw 8 was passed to bor-
row up to $25,000 for current
expenses until the taxes are
collected. By-law 9 was given
a first and second reading, re-
garding the keeping of animals
and birds in the village of Hen-
sall.
Councillor Knight said he was
to have a meeting with Jim
Pinder, plumbing inspector for
the Huron County Health Unit,
in regard to the tentative plans
to renovate the plumbing sys-
tem in the local Community
Centre, as a centennial project.
W. J. Cameron was given per-
mission to hang a sign over the
sidewalk in front of his build -
ing, assuming the respons:'r,:lity
of any liabilities.
Councillor John Baker said
he had been approached by sev-
eral women ratepayers, ::_:,iris
if council would assist n get-
ting a postal mail box in the
downtown area. Mr. K i ht
suggested that they get up a
petition, as it would carry
weight than just a letter from
council. It was further suggest-
ed that the clerk write t the
federal MP, Elston Cardiff, on
this issue.
Permission was granter to
the Salvation Army to hold pub-
lic band concerts with a public
address system in Hensail.
Accounts totalled $11.431.21.
