Keller) A land division committee has been appointed by Huron County Council and will consist of the five members of the countyplan- ning board as well as five non - county councillors, Clayton, Laithwaite, Ian McAllister, Cal Kreuter, Roy Wescott and Ralph Jewell. This land division committee will have the authority to grant consent to severances in any municipality on the county that does not have a committee of adjustment with authority to grant consent. The land division committee will grant the same type of consents, such as the simple separation of land from existing holdings, quit -claim deeds, mortgages and so on, as a com- mittee of adjustment. The committee will also hold public meetings and conduct its busin- ess in the same mariner as a committee of adjustment. The budget for the planning board showed that expenses will likely be down this year. The estimated 1971 budget is $35, 000 as opposed to $42, 320 actually spent on county plan- ning last year. The new Huron County Plan- ning Director, Gary Davidson, is to receive a salary of $8, 000 for the remainder of the year. Estimated moving expenses for Mr. Davidson are estimated at rom my window HARD TO KEEP ON SCHEDULE It hasn't come as any surprise to me at all that it is difficult to raise a family. My own dear mother used to tell what a heck of a time she had with me and I naturally suspected that I would have trouble from time to time with any family I would ever bring up. What I didn't bargain on was the fact that as the older I get (and the older my children be- come) the less I am my own boss. I don't mean to say that my children rule the household in the strictest sense of the word. It is just that in my eagerness for them to have a good life and experience all the wonderful things in life, I find that sched- ules often conflict... and it is usually my plans which must go by the boards. It is impossible any more to go away visiting with or without the children. I'll explain. There is always something going on for the kids it seems. Their schedules are actually busier than mine... and I have been editing a newspaper for the $1, 500. Board members' salaries will take another $5, 000; con- sultants' fees, $3, 500; land division committee, $2, 000; office salaries, $5, 000; equip- ment, $5, 000; public relations, $1, 000.

KELLER past month. That's right, when you figure three kids times the number of things each has plan- ned you run into a whale of a number of obstacles when you want to go away. My husband and I have found it is impossible to find a day when it is convenient for every- one in the family to travel out- of-town. We've just given up ori that idea. But now we find we can't leave without them either because so very often, the kids activities involve transportation here or there... or... well, to be perfectly frank we don't wish to put temptation in their paths by leaving them alone for any length of time. Every day at our house is a circus. Yesterday, for instance, was typical of the kind of frust- rating happenings which go on daily... and today hasn't changed the situation one little bit. School holidays were on this week which made things a little more awkward perhaps. It all started when my regular baby- sitter had to be out of town and could not care for our youngest. No problem at all, I thought only to find out that my built-in homegrown babysitters were all booked up solid. Fortunately for me I have a friend in town who pinch-hits for my regular baby- sitters on occasion. But getting back to my kids for yesterday, I discovered that our eldest boy was going to a red hot jamming session for the who1 afternoon and that our daughter had been invited by a friend's mother to spend the entire day in the big city on a shopping trip, Naturally, I assumed when I arrived home in the evening to have peace and quiet because the children had all had their excitement for the day. Not so. As soon as my husband and I bit the front doorsill we were bom- barded with questions about when we could drive our eldest son to a friend's cottage to spend the night, when we could provide transportation for our daughter to a meeting out of town follow- ! ing an early hockey garne at the 1 local arena; and when our young - 1 est son could have his playmate over before dinner or after. And it just so happened that last evening, my husband had an appointment at 7 o'clock and I had a meeting at 8 o'clock wialch left everyone going in five dif- ferent directions and only one car for the lot. What's more, we had a babysitting problem all over again that evening! After the customary screaming and hollering which usually pre- ceeds any decision in our home, we agreed on the timetabling for the evening. I went off to my meeting convinced that everyone was happy only to return home about 10:15 to discover my husb- and's appointment had kept him longer than expected and had thrown out the total plan for the rest of the family. This morning when I awoke from a troubled sleep (well, who could rest after excitement like that?) I discovered a new day and new problems. Our eldest had to have transportation back home, our daughter had a full day planned from morning until well into the evening, my husb- and had to be at the office early and I... well, I had left my boots at the office... and it had snow- ed... and I needed the car to get to work... and... oh what the heck, another typical day under- way. ....rravapa—.seem-* HEAR Rev.
