Bombshell?
Newly -elected Goderich may-
itr, Dr. Frank Mills, appeared
within the rail at county coun-
t -di on Tuesday and may have
dropped a minor bombshell.
Included in his greeting to
county councillors for 1967,
Mayor Mills made three pro-
posals for consideration by
council: that county road as-
sessment should be re-exam-
ined; that the county should
manage all welfare claims; and
that a special grant be made to
the county town earmarked for
the purpose of improved light-

ich.
Benmiller Revamped?
Reeve Duff Thompson, Clin-
ton, expressed delight at the
formation of the new tourism
and industrial committee of
county council and proposed a
project for consideration by the
members.
Thompson said Benmiller was
being overlooked as a possible
tourist attraction in Huron, and
with the establishment of parks
and picnic facilities, revitaliza-
tion of the historic Woollen
Mill and a little good manage-
ment, the spot could become a
thriving area with indirect re-
muneration to all parts of the
county.
