Hensall Teams Win Three Games Three Zurich minor hockey teams came out second best on Friday night, when they played a triple header with three Hen- sall teams in a special program to aid minor hockey, at the Hensall Arena. In the first game, the Hensall Mites eked out a thrilling 3-2 win over the Zurich Mites. Ricky Ingram paced the Hensall attack with two goals, while Danny Turvey notched the other, For the Zurich Mites, Patrick Bedard and Gerald Weido each blinked the red light once. One-sided Game The second game of the pro- gram saw the Hensall Squirts run away with the Z ur i c h Squirts, swamping them 8-0. For Hensall, Gary Sararas and Wayne Corbett both came up with a pair of goals, while Jeff Reaburn, Gordon Pryde, Jim Cooper and Murray Glan- ville each countered once. Close One The final game of the evening saw the Hensall PeeWees come out on the long end of a 3-2 score. Elder, Sararas and Hay each flashed the red light once. For the Zurich P e e W e e s, Gary Hugill and Ray Weido both scored one goal. Ice time for the special minor hockey night was donated by Trevor Wilson, with all pro- ceeds going to the Hensall Minor Hockey Association. Sec- retary of the Ilensell organiza- tion, P. L. McNaughton, was in charge of all arrangements, and reports close to $35 was raised for the .association. Among those who addressed council were Barry Wenger, publisher of the Wingham Ad- vance -Times, and Elmer Bell, QC, Exeter. Wenger said an opinion poll conducted in his paper showed about 25 per cent of the adult readers were in favour of de- centralization. Bell termed the addition at Huronview as "out of step and against the trend". He pre- dicted there would be "homes in every town and a lot of vil- lages" in the future. Mrs. Warren Brock, president of the Senior Citizens in Ex- eter, asked council, "Who built the economy of this county? We did, and we had to go through the depression years of the 30s, too. Think of us a little here." In the discussion that fol- lowed, Zurich reeve, Milton Oesch, said until recently he had not heard of the elderly people of Huron being dissatis- fied. James Hayter, deputy -reeve of Stephen, said the delega- tions .had the wrong concept of the type of people cared for at Huronview. He told council recent admissions at the Home had been all bed -care patients. Delbert Geiger, deputy -reeve, and John Corbett, reeve of Hay, suggested the project be aban- doned for one year until it was discovered whether other homes like the one planned for Zur- ich would spring up in the county. Derry Boyle, Exeter, said the introduction of community sponsored homes such as the proposed Bluewater Rest Horne at Zurich might eventually make Huronview .a "semi -ghost town". Other members of council said Huronview would always have a waiting list because the advantages of a larger home gave extra facilities for com- fort just not available in a smaller home. 0 ANNOUNCEMENT South Hu r o n Publisers Limited, Zurich„ this week an- nounce fhe return of Herb Turkheim to the position of editor of this newspaper. The editorial post has been filled the past six months by Mrs, Shirley Keller. Arc`hitect's Plans Approved salt Architect Ted Haggarty, o£ London, last Thursday night presented to the board plans for the addition to the Hensall school of the Hay Township School Area. With a few minor changes, the plans have been approved and tenders are to be called within one week: Estimated cost of the addi- tion, according to the architect, is approximately $120,000. Among the recommendations made to the board by the archi- tect is the use of stryo-foam in- sulation in the gymatorium; outside lighting all around the outside of the school; repaint- ing the outside of the present building to co-incide with the new addition; and repainting of the corridor of the present building to tie in with the new section. The architect also showed the board the new style window which is to be used on the west wall of the building. Placed between the two panes of glass is a venetian blind, which is to relieve the necessity of hang- ing drapes in the inside of the building. There will be accommodations made in the gymatorium for volleyball, basketball, badmin- ton and shuffle court. Mr. Haggarty also pointed out to members of the boaed that there are quite a number of fine shrubs growing around the school where the new addition is to be built, and he recom- mended the board should have them removed before noistruc- tion begins. y" Hear Fuel Men Two representatives of Sterl- ing Fuels, London, met with the board to discuss fuel supply for the two schools when they are completed. The men were cri- tical of the plans to use bunker fuel oil in the school at Zurich, and suggested that both schools should be heated with the same type of light industrial oil. They suggested that at least 8,000 gallon storage tanks be used at each school. (The archi- tect for the building program at the Zurich school has recom- mended a heating system which ddition pe is to use bunker oil, a cheaper grade of fuel.) May Purchase Buses While no definite decision has been made on the matter, the board indicated they would be saving money to purchase their own fleet of buses when the new two -school set-up is in full operation. A presentation made by secretary -treasurer Robert Westlake, on the com- parison in costs between the bus the board now owns and the contracts they have with indi- viduals for drawing pupils, Suggest Better Farmer Help The livestock commissioner for the Province of Ontario has suggested that closer co-opera- tion between the owners of cattle herds and the sprayers for warble fly will result in a better job being done. A couple of months ago, the Hay Township Federation of Agriculture suggested to the council of the Township of Hay that the Warble Fly Control Act be amended so that all cattle between the ages of six months and two years be treated for warble. In turn, the township council passed the suggestion on to the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture for their consideration. A letter to H. W. Brokenshire, township clerk, from R. H. Gra- ham, the livestock commission- er read as follows: "The act does not allow for this type of amendment, but the department of agriculture suggests that if all cattlemen were reasonable in • their attitude towards con- trolling grub, they would sort those cattle that are grubby from the remainder and make it much easier for those who are doing the job of spraying." The township council is rec- ommending that the Federation of Agriculture pass this sugges- tion on to the farmers in Hay Township for their considera- tion. shows there would be a sub- stantial saving in the board owning buses of their own. Allowing for depreciation and all over costs, the presentation revealed that in the first two years the area -owned bus cost, $1435.39 and $1563.18, respec- tively, while one of the con- tracts they have is for about $4000 per year. The board members agreed to study the matter further at another meet- ing before reaching a decision. Vice-chairman Robert Row- cliffe suggested that perhaps three school areas, such as Hay, Stanley and Stephen, could work together with transporta- tion, and operate a central gar- age where all the buses could be serviced by their own me- chanics. Rowcliffe pointed out that by paying a couple of men an attractive salary, the boards could probably save money on for ger the project. He estimated the three areas could own about 30 buses between them. Decision Questioned In correspondence read at the meeting, a letter from the Zur- ich and District Chamber of Commerce questioned the de- cision of the board to award the contract for the extra rooms at. the Zurich school to the same contractor who is building the first -planned addition. In an- swer to the query board chair- man Ian McAllister pointed out that he had called the architect for an explanation on the mat- ter, and the reply was, "the construction association and the architects have an agreement that changes and additions can be made on an existing tender or contract, on a negotiating basis. If, however, the contrac- tor does not come up with what (Continued on Page 4) Hay Township CJS di Approves Debenture issue for Scheelrea The council of the Township of Hay, at a special session on Saturday afternoon, granted their approval to the issuing of debentures in the amount of $195,000, for construction of additions to the two schools, located in Zurich and Hensall, which are part of the Hay Township School Area. Chairman of the school board Ian McAllister, was present at the meeting and outlined the plans of construction to the council members. He pointed out that the board hopes to be- gin construction at both loca- tions as soon as suitable con- tracts are drawn up. While the debentures have to be sold in the name of Hay Township, the originating muni- cipalities, both the villages of Hensall and Zurich have to as- sume their share of the debt in- curred. The village of Zurich has already approved the issue for additions to both schools, while the Hensall council has still to approve the iesue for the addition to the schaol le- cated in their village. Sef Road Allowance. At the special meeting Sat- urday afternoon conned set their amount of apniieateen for road subsidy for the eominie, year. A by-law has been pre- pared to spend $65.000 en town• ship roads, with $23.000 of this amount for construction and $42,000 for maintenance.
