KELLER Thcrc wasn't much dispute over the county budget for 1976 when council met in regular session Friday in Godcrich at the March session. Although costs were up in most departments causing an overall increase in expenditure of 13.7 per cent more than in 1975, the county tevy will remain the same, As Reeve Gerry Ginn said following the meeting, "That should help soften the blow for the taxpayers in 1976. " Reeve Ginn like many other ratepayers is looking forward to a heavy increase in the cost of education throughout the county this year. The total county budget is $7,710.664. 1That's 5466,522 more than last year's total of 57,244,142. After government grants and other revenue, the county ratepayers •will he asked to contribute 52,528.000 • exactly the sane as last year. However, it has been necessary to use the accumulative surplus oI' $416,383 to maintain the levy at last year's figure. Included in the 1976 budget is provision for increases to the reserve funds: %forking :: cap,tial, 5150',000; hospital -reserve, 5200,000; employee•henetits, $150.000; a;_: atid'cajtital works buildings. 520,000.

Convention and other committees costs have increased front $5,000 to $9,500 and there's $21,000 included in this year's budget for travel and convention expenses that, wasn't there last year. The history project last year . cost $10,000. This year, only $1,000 has been set aside. Spring brings out the bikes and trikes and young Karen Ferguson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Turning to the general administration Harold Ferguson of Blyth found an unusual way of having fun with her trike Wednesday budget, salaries account for a large part of morning. March went out cool and blustery, but with winter apparently out of its mind.. -staff the increase from $150,700 last year 'to photo. $178,500 this year. Salaries .have gone up 18 per cent • from $100,000 to $118,000. Likewise, employee benefits and work- men's compensation have increased nominally. Tuesday at Memorial HallThings like office supplies, eases cn postage, telephone, travel expenses and` legal fees arc all up. The general maintenance budget is up from $110,425 to $114,152. Again, salaries and expenses like fuel, utilities and telephone have all increased. • The county road budget is actually down from 52,561,000 in 1975 to $2,493,600 in 1976. Road maintenance is up from $665,000 to $771,000 as is overhead and machinery from $403,000 in 1975 to $473,000 this year, Butwiattal road in 1976. construction is down from $900,000 to $813,600 and boundary bridges this year will cost only $97,000 as opposed to $325,000 last year. The health budget is up $26,120 - from $466,700 in 1975 to $492,820 in 1976. Salaries are all up, of course, including fees to board members. Equipment and materials are down slightly, but rent and utilities arc up. Added this ear • at the government's order • is a family planning program which will cost 557,900. This particular item was questioned during the session by Morris Rccvc Bill Elston who commented, "We're getting some things we don't need while some things we need we're not getting." It was pointed out to Reeve Elston by Medical Officer of Health Dr. Frank Mills that the provincial costs are soaring for Fun musical comedy opens Straitjackets, a musical comedy revue coming to Blyth Memorial Hall, April 6 and 7, is the story of a new friendship between sten and women, according to its authors. Kem Murch, a young London writer and poet and Erna Van Decle a musical composer from the same city wanted to (10 something to celebrate International Women's Year last year and so the play. Straitjackets was born, It goes beyond the usual Women's Lib rhetoricto show how both men and women are trapped in roles which tlicy arc taught from birth to play. Along the way the show provides a good deal of entertainment. Ms. Murch and Ms. Van Dacic first presented the play at Talbot Theatre at the University of Western Ontario last spring and it was a big hit, drawing favourable reviews from critics. from London and Toronto. 'I'hc reaction to the play was so positive that fund -granting agencies were quick to provide money this year for a tour n) the: play.

The show features 15 songs showcasing the music of Ms. Van Daele and lyrics of Ms. Murch, Many in the area may recognize. the work of Ms. Van Dacle from her summers at the Huron Country Playhouse, Grand Bend. There are six actors and four musicians involved in the production. All are under the direction of one of the most talented people in Canadian show business. Dean Regan, who directs this production has made a name for himself in nearly every facet of the business: as an actor, dancer, singer, television star, writer, chore- ographer and director. Though only in his' mid -thirties, he has had a carreer that would seem impossible for many people older than he. Regular visitors to Memorial Hall will see many changes since their last visit.

Festival Blyth Board of Trade, meeting' at the Village Restaurant March 24 voted to push for action to keep more people in Blyth when they visit the Blyth Summer Festival this year. The Board agreed to seek some accomodation for campers and tent trailers in the village this summer. It was felt that the Festival would be a bigger boost to the local economy if people stay in the village overnight or for several clays. The possibility of setting up a private honk billetting system similar: to the one operating for many years in Stratford will also' be explored. This plan would see people with rooms to rent being able to host visitors to the Festival who wished to stay overnight. Not only is the Board interested in having people stay longer, it took action to try to get more people to the village in the first place. The members approved expenditure of up to $150 in radio advertising during the summer to bring people to the Festival. There will also be a spring promotion for the village over radio. About $250 was left over from the Christmas promotion and this will be used to buy radio time in the next few weeks. The controversial issue of noonhour closing came up for brief discussion. Grant Sparling of Sparling's Hardware said his store used to be open during noonhours but that the little bit of business done "wasn't worth the Bromoseltzer it took". He said the noonhour was a prime time for shoplifting, especially with a large store understaffed. No decision was made to change present practices which see some food stores open but most other businesses closed during the noonhour. Summer store hours will remain the sante with stores remaining open until 9 p.m. on Friday nights beginning May 1. President Mason Bailey noted that there were 50 businesses in the village eligible to join the Board of Trade.' Secretary Larry Walsh said that sonic new members had been recruited this year and it was hoped other new members would also be joining. Considerable discussion was held on what the Board should do for Centennial celebrations next year. Mr. Sparling said he would like to sec some sort of decoration program taken up for main street to make it a more attractive place to visit. Further action will be taken at the next meeting. Doug Whitmore reported for the publicity and promotion committee that 200 free placemats had been given out to all but one of the restaurants in the village and a further 300 placemats had been sold. The placemats show a map of Blyth and give information on annual events like the • Thresher Reunion and Sumpter Festival. The idea of a voucher hook which would give coupons with discounts 00 the purchase 'of goods in Blyth stores was discussed. The hooks would contain vouchers worth several hundred dollars and he sold to potential customers as a fundraising activity. The hoard agreed to explore the idea further. P(+. 2.

County council willing to wield axe in hospital cost cutting By SHIRLEY J. KEI.LER 1Imon County Council is taking its role seriously, When Warden .lark McCutcheon asked council- lors Friday at the March session in Goderich if they were ready to accept the responsibility for the redaction of health care costs in the county should the government empower them to do so, few members declined, Warden McCutcheon told council that Ontario Premier William Davis and Minister of Health Frank Miller had been impressed with a Huron County Board, of Health presentation which stressed the fact that Huron is a "total county" that "sticks together", He said the only argument to which the premier and the minister of health . would listen was the one which put forth the claim that Huron County wants to manage its own affairs even where health cutbacks are con- cerned and should be permitted to co-ordinate meetings with the five hospitals to work out an amicable settlement to achieve the results desired by Toronto. "Are we ready to accept the responsibility to allocate bed reduction proportionately across the county?" asked Warden McCutcheon. John Jewitt of Hullett seemed to speak for all of council when he replied, "If we've got to be the body that takes the stand, then we'd better be the body that takes the stand." Only Reeve John Flannery of Scaforth voiced his concern in accepting the responsibility, He.,_ questioned whether council should get into this kind of administration, even if given the power to do so, "How many beds will we be expected to cut back next year?" asked Flannery. "Will this become an annual event?" While council waits to the government's decision on whet, er or not county council will be empowered to allocate bed reduction apportionments throughout Huron, Dr. Frank Mills brought forward some shocking statistics for council's perusal. The county's brief to govern- ment had noted that $944,000 had to be cut from Huron's health care budget. Five proposals had been made by the county to effect these savings without closing Clinton Public Hospital. These were: 1. All hospitals should make full and immediate use of Home Care services to reduce .hospital bed days to a bare minimum. 2.AII hospitals should screen admisissions carefully question- ing the need for admission and whether they could perhaps be cared for under the Home Care Program. 3:ATI hospitals should immedi- ately discharge their long -stay patients wherever possible to nursing homes, Home Care, VON etc. 4.AI1 hospitals should restrict emergency rooms to emergency cases only with no convenience cases either for people or physicians. 5.AIl hospital boards should immediately meet and decide on unitizing of the hospital services within the county so that certain services may be centralized in specific hospitals to avoid duplic- ation of expensive equipment and staff. It was Dr. Mills' contention that many Huron hospital beds were being utilized for chronic long -stay patients who could be cared for in alternate facilities. Seeking to substantiate his belief, he contacted Stephen Skerez, arca planning co-ordinator for the Ministry of Health to determine the percentage of long stay patients Huron had as well as the number of patient, days they utilized in active treatment units. Statistics show that there were 445 patients who accounted for 23,360 patient days in Huron hospitals in the "30 days plus" category, Wingham hospital had the highest number - 150 spending 7,028 patient days - while Seaforth had the least • 49 spending 2,880 patient days, On a percentage basis however, God- erich had the best record - 3.6 per cent spending 24.6 per cent of the total patient days, Exeter logged the worst record • 7.2 per cent occupying 48.7 per cent of the total patient days. In the 15 -day -plus category, the percentages told the story. Exeter again held the lead with a record of 18.8 per cent spending a total of 65.2 per cent of the patient days. Clinton and Goderich were neck and neck for the best performance - Clinton with 12.8 per cent accounting for 51.2 per cent of the patient days and Goderich with 12.9 per cent accounting for 47.7 per cent of the patient days. The totals showed that 14.5 per cent of the patients in the five county hospitals spend 15 days or more and use up 52 per cent of the total patient days. Dr. Mills said the average length of stay for patients in hospital all across Ontario is 7.9 days. He feels too large a percentage of Huron patients are staying too long in hospitals. "It bears looking at," insisted Dr. Mills. "There is good reason for hospital administrations to get together and say what can we do. Everybody had to tighten down a bit. There should be a thorough study, We must ask who were these people? Why were they there?' . Dr. Mills remind • ancil that the Ministry of h is firm in its order that 62 beds must be cut from Huron's hospitals. He also pointed out that Huron has a Targe percentage of people over 65; an additional 30,000 people from May to October each year; a number of high risk agricultural workers who require nearby acute health care facilities and a desire to provide quality of health care services throughout the county. "You can cut hospital staff but you Ifaven't•cut out the over use of hospital beds," Dr. Mills explained, "If you cut beds the... will be a natural reduction staff." "The hospital. The schools. The arena. They're going," retorcd Morris Reeve Bill Elston. "Mark my words, They're trying to kill these little communities." "They're trying not to kill the people," answered Warden McCutcheon. "What will we do with the people we move out of our hospitals?" asked Reeve Stan Profit of Goderich. He noted that many persons require nursing home care at least, and that Huron just hasn't sufficient Se Wale/ Canada Gr."A" 3 - 31/2 Ib.average Frying Chickens Ib. 77c Canada Packers Thrifty Side Bacon Pieces lb. 99c Beef Blade Steaks lb. 89c Beef Shoulder Steaks ib.$1.09 Fresh Over 10 Ib. 79c Ib.

"YOUR TOP VALUE FOOD STORE" nursing home beds to care for them, He also felt that Home Care programs and VON services cost money which had to be paid by the taxpayers. "Basically you are using the same principals as the Ministry is using," argued Reeve Profit. "You are shifting the cost from one place to the other, You are not attacking the problem at all, You are still talking about cutting services to people." Former Warden Anson McKin- ley of Stanley Township asked about alternative facilities such as Huronview. He referred to the long waiting list at Huronview and pointed out there is no indication from the province that there will be funds available in the future to build additional accommodation. Reeve McKinley further noted that Huronview was designed primarily at the start as a home fair the aged. He said that in recent months, it is fast becoming a chronic bed care facility. Chester Archibald, administra- tor of Huronview was present for some of council's deliberations on Friday. He reported there were 295 persons at Huronview. in 1975. He admitted there was a long waiting list with applications considered according to their date. He explained, however, that BRUSSELS a w z BRUSSELS BRUSSELS when a normal care bed is open and someone requiring special care is the next application on the list, the person requiring normal care who may be'down on the list is admitted before the special care applicant. Or, of course, the situation could be reversed. "That's really all we can do," Archibald told council. • Dr. Mills urged council to consider the "bed at home", He said that many times with the help of Horne Care nursing, Physiotherapy and homemakers as well as VON services, people can get along in their own homes. The MOH did stress the move was not on to "turn sick people out of the hospitals" but merely to take a long hard look the alternatives provided by govern- ment which are not being utilized by doctors or their patients. The brief presented at Toronto had four additional points of interest to residents across Ontario. The board of health has urged the premier and the minister of health to support other. alternatives to constraints in health care spending. There were: 1. A user 'fee for emergency rooms when there is no emer- gency (approximate savings of 20 million). 2. A means test to determine Continued on PG. 16.

It's like the line from an obscure song "if the right fist don't get you then the left one will." They've received good news this week, that the county levy won't drive up taxes this year—Of course any joy is tempered by the knowledge that the education. levy may jump by 35 per cent. Last year and the year before it was the other way around, as the education budget was stable but,the county mill rate 'jumped. Before that it was the education budget that took. off every year while the county was relatively stable. - One can hardly help but think' there is some kind of conspiracy between the county administration and the school board administration whereby they agree not to both'jump•on the-takpayer at once but take turns. One must have sympathy for the municipal l councillors too. They are, after all, the people who must raise the money the senior boards require. When most people see a tax raise, it's the local councillor they jump on, even if the school board or the county council is to blame. In the meantime, inflation and government cutbacks have also hit the local municipalities and just to continue present services more money must be found. It's •a tough spot •foe the rcounciflars .to be in. You can't -Ala -ye itboth ways While Huron county taxpayers were getting -the news last week that their education bill is Iikely`to rise a whopping 35 per cent this year, they were also hearing pleas from county school principals that budgets just couldn't be cut any more. The principals who had earlier agreed to cut school budgets by 10 per cent were objecting to a request that their budgets be cut a further 10 per cent. The quality of education, they said, was being endangered. Teachers in general are also complaining about the cutbacks. But let's face it, you can't have it both ways. The reason the education bill is up so startlingly is the wage settlements that the, teachers themselves got last year. If teachers want more money for themselves, they they'll have to do without many of the other things they've been used to in recent years. The only other alternative is to hit the taxpayer even harder, and lord knows a 35 per cent increase is too hard already. Education in recent years has been something of a sacred ;.wv: no expense was too much to ensure we had the best in education. But the day has come when the taxpayer iust can't afford to write a blank cheque anymore. In education, as in life, there must be priorities. The teachers have chosen to make their own salaries the highest priority item. They'll have to make do the best they can with what little money is left over after the salary bill is paid. Minimatta a crime One of the worst poisoning disasters in history occurred over the last 20 years in Japan where hundreds of people died from what has come to be known as Minamata disease • the incurable mercury poisoning known by the name of the industrial town where it was first indentified. Here in Canada, the Native people of two northwestern Ontario reserves and those along the edge of James Bay of Northeastern Quebec whose ancient fishing rounds have become polluted with mercury, could be facing a diaster of similar proportions. The disease is grotesquely deforming, affecting the central nervous system and culminates in brain damage, paralysis and death. But after more than five years of extensive tests, both levels of government still insist, despite medical evidence to the contrary, that symptoms of poisoning showing up in a number of individuals may be related to other illnesses and "more proof is needed." As far back as 1970, the Ontario government moved to protect its tourist industry by advising sports -fishermen to "fish for fun only" and not to cat their contaminated catches. Yet the Indians of Grassy Narrow and White Dog reserves in the Kenora area are still eating the fish from mercury polluted waters as the main source of their food. And it was in the same year that the province issued control orders on 11 companies ordering them to stop dumping mercury waste into the waterways. But mercury requires up to 100 years to be dissipated from polluted waters. And . no control order was' issued on mercury dispelled into the air, where quantities are still anyone's guess. The provincial government did promise alternative supplies of food by providing two large freezers and a small subsidy to truck in fish from unpolluted lakes. The federal department of Indian and Northern Affairs offered to move the people from their reserves to other areas to get them away from the polluted water. These attempts to alleviate the situation indicates an utter lack of understanding. The Natives who live in these areas have an entire culture, a lifestyle, based on fishing in their lakes and streams. They feel lost even destroyed with it. Simplistic solutions only serve to heighten tensions. If the paper mills that spill their lethal poisons into the water and air refuse to accept their moral, if not legal, responsibility to clean up their mess and compensate the Indians, then the governments involved must act quickly without waiting for further studies, Irrepariable damage may already have been done to residents of these reserves hut continued inaction or inappropriate action will have the effect of a major human and environmental diaster. —Contributed. ;.r.:.':::::::•::: •':.

The province will this year pay $341,898 toward a total budget of $439,775. Last year, Ontario provided $321,246 of a total budget of $405,092. The county this year will kick in $97,877 as opposed to $77,904. In other words, both the county and the province are adding about another 520,000 each. Salaries and employee benefits are up but office expenses, training and confer- ence expenses as well' as travel allowances are down; It is understood the CAS budget was "cut to the bone" and according to Bruce Heath, director, every effort will be made to provide service equal to that provided in previous years. Social services too, is hard hit. The county this year will actually pay more toward social services while the province will pay less. • Huron will contribute 5103.550 this year, 52,575 more than last year. The province will pay 5378,200 • 58,100 Icss than last year. General assistance is expected to cost 5283.900 in 1976. S7,700 more than last year's figure• of 5276.200. Payments for citizens in nursing homes will drop drastically from $21,000 in 1975 to 51,000 in 1976. Supplementary aid will also be down from $12,000 in 1975 to $9,600 this year. Special assistance • drugs, surgical supplies, moving, funerals, dental, optical, vocational training etc, • will drop from $13,500 in 1975 to $11,400 in 1976. The planning department expenditures will rise sharply - from $93,690 in 1975 to 5137,800 in 1976. But Huron ratepayers will pay only $1,360 more in 1976 • $88,100 instead of $86,740. The bulk of'the increase will come from provincially funded community study grants • worth$42,500 in 1976. The biggest increase in costs is for an additional staff member plus salary hikes for present staff. Printing costs (for plans etc.) will rise from $4,500 to $17,100. Land division costs are down : ' from $46,250 in' 1975 to $41,000 this year. Library costs have increased from $261,800 to $301,250. The County of Huron will provide $188,278 and the province will pay $107,172. Salaries are up as are employee benefits, books, supplies, telephone and rents for libraries across the county. Salaries account for' the lion's share of the increase in museum expenses, up from $62,350 in 1975 to $66,000 in 1976. Salaries also seem to be the reason for the, increase in the reforestation budget. up a nominal $100 to $7,000, Salaries also have caused the rise in the development budget, up to 542,700 from $40,300 last year.

Mr. Archibald told council at its March session that at 50 cents each, the meals were bringing in 510,000 per annum. Huronvicw staff reasoned that an additional 510.000 could be added to the budget if the cost of meals to staff went to Sl, The Board of Management at Huronview had been considering the increase, but the By KEITH ROULSTON To believe the newspapers and the opposition party members one would have thought that the so-called "judges affair" was the worst scandal to hit government in years. The Canadian people were up in arms seeking justice, the press and politicians seemed to be saying. It was intriguing them to pick up a big city newspaper recently and see the letters to the editor column filled with letter after letter backing the government on its stand, It was a little hard to believe when just about any excuse at all is good enough to take whacks at Pierre Trudeau these days. Yet there they were, in black and white, The point most of the letters seemed to make was a good one: why should judges be above criticism? Why should they? If it was against the law for us to criticize the government, we'd call it a police state. Yet the government, at least is elected. Judges are appointed officials, appointed for life, Yet somehow they are above criticism, Certainly there must be some when the staff volunteered for the raised price, board members felt compelled to follow their example. They decided that on mectine days, each board member would forfeit 51 for the meal that until this time had been free. "You mean the county will pay for it,' said Elgin Thompson, reeve of Tucker - smith, hardly believing his cars. "No, my understanding was that the committee • members would pay for the meals out of their own pockets," said Mr. Archibald. Several heads nodded in agreement. "And it is high time we paid for our own meals, too," stated Reeve Thompson, obviously getting into the spirit of the thing. Warden Jack McCutcheon promptly brought the discussion to a close. Who judges the judges laws restricting the abuse that can be hurled at the judical system. We've seen in recent years how some people in Canada during the F.L.Q. trials and in the U.S. during trials of radicals, can turn a courtroom into a circus. There constant obstruction of justice makes an fair and orderly trial impossible. These people tried to show, that the judical system was represtve. tnsteao they showed us that our attempts to make justice as fair as possible are an open invitation for those who wish to abuse those rights. Likewise allowing politicians to pop off while a case is before the court or allowing newspapers to editorialize on a particular case while the jury is still hearing evidence would prejudice the right to a fair trial. But once the decision is rendered, should a judge then be above all reproach for his decision? None of the rest of us are. Many hailed the contempt of court decision against former Consumer Affairs Minister Andre Oulett as a sign that justice was the same for all, rich and poor alike, politician and ordinary citizen. Looking back on it, it was just the opposite. An ordinary citizen could have said the same things about the judge's decision and • gotten away with it, Mr, Oulette, because his every word is reported coast to coast got in trouble, Further, the contempt decision proved that while a cabinet minister is answerable to Parlia- ment, the electorate and the courts, the judges arc answerable to no one. They are a law unto themselves. There is something horrible about the U.S. system where judges run for office, It seems to leave the door open for too much politics on the bench. But at least the Americans have some way of controlling judges. Here we have only the hope of the fairness of the men and women we choose to wear the robes, Still, it does not hide the real issue behind the judges affair, the fact that cabinet ministers through telephone calls to judges about cases that were being tried before them may have obstructed the course of justice. The ministers involved must be made to see the error of this kind of activity, not patted on the back as Mr. Trudeau seems to have done. While judges should not be above criticism, they also should not be in a position of being pressured, however subtley by government officials, DEAR ANN LANDERS: When our older children were in their weirs, life looked wonderful, Our only problem was `to scrounge enough money to send them to college, All three boys were highly motivated, wholesome, top-of-thc•class smart; We had none of the problems our friends were having with their children, Suddenly everything changed. The two oldest graduated from college and got good jobs. They decided within weeks of each other that business was a bore.

We managed to get him to see a doctor who said it was appendicitis and recommend- ed surgery. The boy refused to have an operation. The pain abated and we felt like fools, The pain started again the following day. He refused medi- cal help and moved 60 miles away to live with a friend who is treating him with herbs and encouraging him to "fast." This young man is 24 and we realize we can do nothing but pray he doesn't die.

BY BILL SMILEY If you have teenage children who may in the next decade get married and have. children, it is not too early for you to start getting into condition. The life you rave may be your own. I'd suggest a lot of jogging, for a start. Get your wind together. You'll need it. Then you should get your back in sh..pe. Practice leaning over a bath -tub until you can do it for 10 minutes without a stitch or a twinge. Next, you should work on your arms .Ind shoulder muscles. I suggest you buy a baby cot and a high chair. Then get hold of a Targe plastic bag and fill it with 25 pounds of sand or old iron. Nails might be even better. Now. Put the bag of sand in the high chair and practice hoisting it out until you can do it 10 times in a row without puffing. Do the You have to be in good shape same with the baby's cot, with the sides up. This is only a facsimile, of course, not the real thing. One hopes that the bag of sand will not be struggling, or screaming that it doesn't want its bib on, or doesn't want to go bye-byes, Next, put on your winter clothes, tuck the bag of sand under one arm and a 20 Ib. bag of groceries under the other, and practice walking out to th car with them, over the slippery sidewalk. If you see a dog or cat or kid, you must stop and look for a suitable interval, saying: "See the nice doggie," about eight times. If you followed this regime for five years or so, you might be physically able to cope with a lively two-year-old grandson or daughter, l wish someone had warned me.

The kids were fed, bathed by their mother, and 1 told them their bed -time story. There was nothing to it. Nowadays, 1 get home about 4:30, and a little demon hurls himself at me. He's just up, refreshed, after his nap, and I'm a little pooped after coping with the life styles of 150 adolescents, It's no contest. I'm beginning to have the deepest sympathy for young mothers. With one child, it's about a 16 -hour a day shift. With several young ones, it's got to be the modern answer to the Chinese water torture. How manyof you old-timers have tried recently to get an infant into one of those winter snowsuits? The boots won't go through the legs, the zippers won't zip. Yesterday, 1 spent eight minutes getting one leg in, and for once the zipper worked. 1 straightened up to draw breath and ease my back, looked down with some satisfaction, and saw to my horror that the child's leg was in the wrong Icg of the snowsuit. Back to stretch. Sunday, there was a fresh fall of snow, and I though I'd take Pokey for a toboggan ride. After the usual ordeal of getting him dressed, I was sweating and puffing. He was calm and keen to get going. Unfortunately, our house is surrounded by hills. If you start off downhill, you'll be going uphill on the way home. I was smart. I tackled the steepest hill, going up, so it would be easier, downhill, on the way back, when I'd be tired. • Oh yes, 1 was smart. Near the top of the first •hill, an elderly lady, out shovelling her snow, remarked: " Well ,'you must be a devoted grandfather.

On Saturday mornings, 1 like to read the book reviews in the daily paper, Last Saturday, I spent four hours trying to read a six -para- graph review. In between I was changing records on the record player, which must be playing simultaneously with the tape recorder, fetching drinks of juice and crackers with peanut butter hoisting him onto the pot (he's too busy to be bothered), helping him build a train, trying to keep him from pulling the cat's tail and 60 or 70 other things.

Oh the power of restraint BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER Restraint has hit Huronview this year, and the administrator there, Chester Archibald, re- marked to Huron County Council at its March session on Friday that if handled properly, it has a self -controlling influence that some feeling has been lacking in the past in many places. Mr. Archibald pointed out that at Huronview, there's very little way that beds can be cut without sacrificing a much needed service to the people of Huron County. At any time, there is along waiting list of persons desiring to make their home at Huronview. For this reason, Mr. Archibald has been cutting back in other ways • like making use of a provincial bulk purchasing plan, not replacing employees who retire and - the big one • not bringing in replacements for people who arc sick for one or two days at a time. This latter restraint has a "self -controlling influence", according to Mr. Archibald. When workers have to cover for a fellow employee who is off sick, there is considerable pressure on the employees who are sick to get better quick and stay that way. When the workload becomes heavier for the ones left on the job, there is a tendency to hurry back that may be lacking when a part-time employee is brought in to do the work. ,Z7Z RSISY ES -7 Mg HUR , N PINES' CONS RUCTJON LYS I% r BULLDOZING TRENCHING BACK 110E Phone 482-7901 Collect.

Such donations are• tax deductible and will become a lasting memorial of the donor's wish to help in the preservation of our environment. It was also learned that a grant of $33,000 has been awarded to the Authority through the Minist- ry of Natural Resources to aid in supplying the Authority's share of'the cost of improvements to the Listowel Conduit. These improve- ments will cost an estimated $660,000„ 75 percent of which will be supplied by the province, 20 percent by the Town and 'the remainder by the Authority. The Branch has also granted allowances for development work to be carried out this year at the Saratoga Swamp, Sunshine Tract and the Morris Hill Forest Tract. The Executive granted approval to the circulation of a letter to all watershed municipalities request- ing the submission of the name of a contact person, In the event of a flood the staff could very quickly Rather information conyerning flood conditions by phoning these people. It was ,stressed that delay in forwarding names to the Authority office in Wroxeter he avoided. The successful operation of. the flood" warning system depends largely upon these con►act personnel. Approval' was given • for the submission of a brief to the Planning Act Review Committee. This brief emphasized the neces- sity of incorporating into the Planning Act, strict regulations of natural hazard zones. It pointed out that Conservation Authorities possess the necessary skill and funds to research and to determine the location and the extent of such areas. However, such delineation is seemingly useless unless Municipalities through their Official Plans restrict useage of hazard zones.

'trev' Derry Boyle of Exeter thinks they should, and he thinks the Ontario Building Code should be amended accordingly, Lb�L niter came up at Huron County Council's March session Friday in Goderich when the county planning board made a and said that all buildings should conic under the Ontario Building Code and he so constructed. "'There are ivany persons who share your view," commented county, planning director Gary Davidson. recommendation to concur with a when it comes to farm buildings proposal from Perth County ! we build to last. There's farm regarding the issuance of build- buildings around which have ing permits for farm buildings. stood for 100 years or more, We Such building permits, council read in the paper that it is the felt, should be for the purposes of public buildings that are falling locating the building on the site down, not the tarns buildings," with regard to road allowances Reeve Boyle also questioned etc. and assessment only. ' the province's request that all Reeve Boyle questioned this, historical buildings and heritage "We have been silly enough to provide cheap food and Tots of it," stated Deputy -reeve Grant Stirl- ing, Goderich Township, "but area be clearly designated on secondary plans. The planning director had pointed out that docs not have anyone on his present staff with the necessary expertise to do this work. He said that to engage consultants to do the work, it would cost about $2,500 for an urban plan and $1,500 for a rural plan. These costs would be subsidized by a minimum of SO percent by the province. Reeve Boyle felt this could infringe on a person's right to do what he liked with his own property. Mr. Davidson explained this only gave provision for a 180 day period during which a demolition permit could be withheld until sonic alternative plan could be achieved, Upon being asked whether Hiking in the Maitland Valley Rocky is excited. It is now officially spring and he is thinking of all the challengingand exciting activites which await Film in outdoor world of the Maitland River watershed in the spring and summer of 1976. Hiking is one of Rocky's favourite activities. However, until very recently, there were no well developed hiking trails in the watershed. In the sunnier of 1974 that situation began 'ro change. At that time a groin of seven young people working under the Junior Conservationist Award Program for the M.V.C.A., undertook a study of the river valley from the Falls Reserve Conservation Area to the Wawa - nosh Valley Conservation Area, The study, when completed, demonstrated that a good scenic, and easy to maintain hiking trail could be built along the Maitland River. The trail would pass over a variety of topography, cliffs, valleys and plains. There would also be a wide variety of vegetation so the hiker can explore everything from swamps to hardwood forests the study stated. That study report printed by the Conservation Authorities Branch of the Ministry of Natural Resources was read by a group of interested watershed residents. These people had thought for many years that the construction of a Maitland River trail was necessary and possible. The study. plus additional cncourag- County would do pruning Continued from Page 3 the eligibility for free OHiP (equals savings of approximately 90 million). 3, A metals test to determine the eligibility for free drug benefits (equals savings armour 25 million). 4. Incentive and disincentive programs for hospitals and physicians to control use of hospital. OHIP, diagnostic ser- vices etc. At the close of the lengthy discussion, one spectator was heard to say: "It all sounds good when you're healthy. But when you're sick and needing atten- tion nlcnt, from the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources were sufficient to make these people realize that the time was ripe for starting the trail. So, in July of 1975, the Maitland Trail Association was formed with the goal to construct a trails sytem for hiking, snowshoeing, nature study and cross country skiing. This Associ• ation acted very quickly and by November of 1975 had published its Plans for Establishing and Maintaining a Maitland River Trails System. Also, by the end of 1975 the first section of this trail running from Saltford to Bcnmillcr had been .completed. Presently, the small but dedi- cated membership is growing in size and is actively developing plans for the building of the next section of the trail from Bcnmillcr to the Wawanosh Valley Conser- vation Arca for the spring, summer and fall of 1976.

Rocky thinks that this is very exciting. Membership in the Association is open to anyone who is old enough to walk. An entire family may join for a mere five dollars. Just think of what fun it would he to be able to walk all the way across this big province of Ontario on a trial, part of which you helped to build. • Next time, Rocky will tell you more about the enjoyable and healthy activity of hiking. If you would like farther information on any of Rocky's columns write to the M.V.C.A. office at Box' 5, Wroxeter or phone 335.3557. anyone within the county had the necessary expertise to do this kind of work, Mr. Davidson answered that Nick Hill, a former county planner still living in Huron, was able to do this as were probably several others in the county. Council gave approval for up to $1,500 to be spent for the Hensall secondary plan where heritage features are concerned, and up to $1,000 each for Colborne and Godcrich Township secondary plans. Consultants are only to be used as necessary, Reeve Bill Elston expressed his regret at official notice that Whitechurch Deposit Library had been closed, librarian Bill Partridge said that only 15 books had circulated in the entire final month of operation and for that reason, had not been considered a viable library. Mr. Partridge added that if somebody in Whitechurch would conic forth with an offer to maintain a library in the honk, the service could continue, In the meantime, the county librarian reminded Whitechurch readers to remember the mail service provided by the library for any persons in Huron wanting specific books to read. Joseph Dietrich, a former Stephen Township reeve and . county councillors, has been appointed assistant tree commis- sioner in Huron. Mrs, Gurpal Thind, supervisor of Public Health Nursing, has resigned effective March 31, 1976. A long discussion during the afternoon session regarding em- ployee benefits led to retaining W. F. Morneau and Associates who will provide consultation services to Huron where emp- loyee benefits are concerned and act • as the county's spokesman when questions from staff arise. nt End Alignment Se ce!
