Ginn advised it was the int-
ention of the Board of Health
to engage inspection personnel
who could double as regular
public health inspectors and not
just plumbing inspection.
"In considering the projected
income and the projected expen•
ditures of the Plumbing Inspect-
ion Department, " reported Ginn,
"the minimal expected income
from the division would be
$24, 000 the projected expend-
iture would be $37,307. The
county then would subsidizing
the Plumbing Inspection Division
by approximately $13, 000 which
would amount to the user supp-
orting 66 2/3 percent of the
cost of the Plumbing Inspection
Division and the county support-
ing 33 1/3 percent of the cost
of the division."
"Examination of plumbing
inspection receipts in the earl-
ier years of plumbing inspect-
ion reflect the difference in
standard of living today as in
1960 where one finds that the
commonest thing that happened
in plumbing inspection was the
installation of a bathroom and
averaged a fee of $4.50" said
Ginn. "The receipts do not
indicate the amount of time
involved, the number of calls
involved or the mileage involv-
ed, and certainly if these fig-
ures were used in the projection
of 1973 against 1973 costs, the
county would be in the position
of the user paying approximately
10 percent and the county paying
90 percent of the Plumbing In-
spection Divisinn."
When council had perused the
suggested bylaw, it was deemed
the first clause was "too all
inclusive." That clause reads:
No person shall contruct, repair,
renew or alter the plumbing,
drainage or water system of any

building or structure without
first having obtained a permit
therefore from the Plumbing
Inspector."
Reeve Ed Oddleifson of Bay-
field suggested a clause stating
that plumbing costing $200 or
more would need inspection,
leaving smaller jobs to the
homeowner's discretion. This
suggestion, however, was not
immediately approved by the
Board of Health members
although Ginn indicated this was
the kind of participation the
Board had hoped to get from
council.
"The intent is there, the fee
basis is very fair, " said Reeve
Deb Shewfelt, of Goderich.
"It is very cheap for the inspect-
ion they'll get. I believe coun-
cil should support, in principle,
this report."

The Workshop manager,
Don Rawlings, reported a gift of

who attended the meeting.
Reports were received also
from the Huron Hope School
given by Mrs. Mildred Mac-
Gregor and from the Huron Hope
Nursery given by Mrs. Hazel
Blewett. The report on recreat-
ion events was given by Miss
Lauretta Siegner and the report
of the Youth Across Canada
with the Mentally Retarded was
given by Martin Van Raay, the
local president, who said that
a drive for membership in the
youth group is to take place next
week.
It was announced that the
Huronia Singers will put on a
program in the Dashwood Com-
munity Centre the evening of

Hensall, Ont.
October 29, 1973

Zurich, Ontario
Dear Sir:
I believe the time has come,
even long past, that we should
give serious thought to the prot-
ection and welfare of our senior
citizens, especially widows and
any who are lonely. The recent
tragic murder in a small town
such as Hensall has made me
realize how great is the need
for our help for such people.
Therefore, I am going to do
something about it and hope to
organize a team of volunteers
to help me. I suggest we take
our turn phoning or visiting
these lonely people, helping
them in any way we can and so
make their lives more pleasant
and give them assurance we are
friends they may call on for
help.
If trapped in a room or apart-
ment by fire or smoke, close
and seal all doors with wet .
cloths and get to an open wind-
ow, advises Consumers' Assoc-
iation of Canada. Break the
window if necessary to let in
cool air, If the air becomes
heavy with smoke, cover your-
self with a wet blanket and
place one edge above the wind-
ow will so you can get clear air.
I would appreciate hearing
from any who are interested in
helping in this cause. Perhaps
we can make life a bit safer
for these fine:people who
through no fault of their own
are left to live a lonely exist-
ance and perhaps we may prev-
ent another tragedy in our
community. We owe these
people at least a, few•minutes a
day of our time. Like many of
you, I feel up to now, many of
us could have done much more
than we have. A suggested
name for our group would be
CLASP for Companionship, Love
Assistance Service and Prayer.
Thank you, Mr. Editor, for
publishing this letter.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Minnie Noakes.
