INDIA NURSES VISIT ZURICH - Two distinguished nurses
from India, now working at BaiVerte Hospital in Newfoundland,
visited the village last week with a friend, Miss Joan Rader,
and spent several days at the home of Mrs. Beatrice Rader. The
nurses, in their native costume, are Mrs. Rachel Samuel, of
Kerala State, India, and Miss Flora Moses, of Veliore, India,
along with Miss Rader. Both the nurses have been in Canada

Jobs for students
There may be a high level of
unemployment in some parts of
Canada among graduates but
in the Central Huron Secondary
School two year occupations
course, them are only three boys
left in the class who have not
obtained jobs.
"Almost all of this year's
Grade 10 have obtained jobs and
have been working since the
winter holiday (April)" reported
J. W, Coulter, superintendent
of program and planning.
"Is that really true?" asked
vice-chairman John Boadfoot,
who expressed amazement that
while there is such a high rate
of unemployment reported, any
boy or girl with a two year
occupations course can find work
without too much difficulty.
"The credit goes to the teach-
ers who have worked with ind-
ustry and assisted to place these
young people, " explained Coult-
er.
The board also learned that
Grade 8 students from all over
the county who would be likely
candidates for next year's Grade
9 occupations course have been
invited to CHSS for a three-day
visit to acquaint them with the
program offered and to make
themselves less hesitant to ret-
urn to classes in a different build•
ing after the summer vacation."
"Apparently our efforts were
successful, " reported Coulter.
"Some of the visitors have asked
to transfer to Central Huron Sec-
ondary School immediately."
Announcement was also made
of the South Huron District High
School's Outers' Club canoe trip
to Algonquin Park with the cost
to be borne by the students. Two
staff members who have been
working all year with the club
will supervise the outing.
Ask for more county offices
Frank Cook, of Clinton receiv-
ed some support from other
members of Huron County Coun-
cil late Friday afternoon at the
May session when he asked that
council give consideration to '
decentralizing some of the office
of county government, most part-
icularly the new welfare depart-
ment corning to lluron in January
Cook's suggestion came after
Schools visit
county council
(by Shirley J. Keller)
In keeping with Warden Jack
Alexander's efforts to have a
group of Huron County School
students present at each regular
session of Huron County Council,
the children from Holmesville
Public School were on hand for
last Friday's sitting of council
in the Court House.
Of special interest to the stud-
ents was the attendance at the
session of Hon. C, S. MacNaught-
on, R, E, McKinley and Murray
Gaunt.
Mr. MacNaughton seized upon
the opportunity to speak at some
length to the students, welcom-
ing them to "Huron County's
House of Democracy."
"You are witnessing here a
very important and traditional
form of self-government, " Mac -
Naughton told them.
He advised the children that in
1836, there were 60 persons in
the Huron Tract who were elig-
ible to vote and "all cast their
ballots. " He said that today's
voters do not have the same
record of interest in government.
"This county has produced
many outstanding people, "
Mac Naughton said, "Take the
time to learn as much as you
can about your heritage. You
will learn to respect these men
here today and maybe someday,
you will take your places in
these chambers, in Queen's
Park or in the House of Commons.
the property committee's report
was presented including the notif-
ication that the new building in
Goderich into which the Huron
County Library headquarters will
be moving is nearing completion
and that consideration is being
given to locations in the Court
House to be set aside for the
Planning Department, the
Development Officer, and look-
ing ahead to next January, for
the Welfare Department.
Gerry Ginn of Goderich Town-
ship expressed his views that for
the close co-operation which is
ideal between various county
departments it is important to
have then all in one locality.
Reeve Derry Boyle, of Exeter,
stressed that a large part of the
county building would be left
vacant when the library vacated
the premises, and he noted it
would be the most economical
thing to house the new depart -
ments in the former library
quarters.
Reeve Elmer Hayter, Stanley,
felt that the health and welfare
offices should probably be locat-
ed together for the best perfor-
mance of each and Reeve Gord-
on Hess, Zurich, said there could
be an "overlap of paperwork" if
certain departments were decent-
ralized.
Deputy -reeve Dave Gower, of
Goderich said it was his under-
standing that the county clerk
treasurer would be required to
sign all welfare checks and he
could envision unnecessary in-
convience be decentralizing
the welfare office in particular.
However, Reeve Allan Camp-
bell, McKillop, felt that it
might be good business to have
