Two nominations for the of- fice of reeve were received by the clerk's office before the 5 p.m. deadline Monday.

Stanley council. in by acclamation Stanley township ratepayers will not have an election to go through this year as the entire council has been decided by acclamation. • By the nomintion deadline of 5 p.m. Monday, the only nomination received for reeve was Thomas Consitt.

The only nomination for the Huron County Board of Educa- tion was Robert K. Peck. Council says South Huron Rec league too large Zurich council decided to advise the Exeter council they do not wish to join a South Huron Recreation Association as proposed by Exeter. The de- cision was reached after a re- port was received from the Zur- ich Recreation, Parks and Com- munity Centre Board giving its views on the proposed assoica- tion . In its report to council, the board stated the proposed South Huron Recreation Asso- ciation comprised of seven mun- icipalities and three community centres appeared to be unsat- isfactory for the purpose in- tended for a group function. The board said such a group might be functional if it's pur- pose were only to co-ordinate existing recreational activities and to foster new programmes. However, the pressing con- cern of the County and the small centres with facilities as the board sees it is the desperate need for Cost -Sharing on a us- age basis. The board felt the only way to attack this prob- lem was to go directly to small groups. Small groups made up of only two or three munici- palities with one community centre as the focal point would have • much stronger common interest and with only one facility to contend with, would be much simpler and less con- troversial when co-operating on a cost-sharing basis. The board added they con- sider the present financial burdens to be the very root of the problem and if it were dis- posed of through the formation of small groups, then it is quite possible these municipalities would then have resources to use in promoting new program- mes. The board suggested that at that point in time, co-ordinating would be necessary and this could be done by an advisory group such as being promoted now by Exeter and could prop- erly utilize the services of a Recreation Director for the area. The board added the duties imposed on the existing board members are such that the re- quired negotiations in forming any group be done at the heads - of -council level rather than asking the board • to undertake such negotiations. The group being seriously considered by council would be Zurich, Hay and Grand Bend. Reeve Fred Haberer said he would be willing to talk to the reeves in this recommended area to see if they would be willing to form such a group on a cost-sharing basis. Mr. Haberer added, "I don'tsee how an area can work unless there is only one facility per group." Winter conditions plague drivers Winter conditions continued to plague area drivers this week, although the number of collisions was down somewhat over the previous week. The most serious accident occurred on Wednesday, when vehicles driven by Walter Marsh, Wharncliffe Road, London, and Dr. C. Moyo, RR 4 Seaforth, collided on Highway 4 south of Kippen. Both drivers and passengers Roger Larch and William Marsh both of London, sustained minor injuries. OPP Constable Wally Tomasik investigated and listed total damage at $5,000. Another Wednesday crash, a vehicle driven by Eleanor Sadler, RR Parkhill, skidded into the ditch on County Roads 2 in Stephen and damage was set at $800 by Constable Bill Lewis. The road was covered with slush at the time. There were two accidents on Thursday, the first involving a vehicle operated by Lorne Miller, RR 1 Dashwood. It skidded into the ditch on Concession 14 of Hay and struck a hydro pole. Miller sustained minor injuries and damage was listed at $2,000 by Constable Jack Straughan.
