plywood in the arca of the
furnace, Assistant Fire Chief Jim
Howson said.
Mrs. Ron Snell said the value of
the livestock lost was about

Budgets for 1978 began to
trickle into the Huron County
Council agenda Friday and
councillors were quick to notice
that increases in nearly all
budgets are imminent. Of course,
all budgets presented now are
approved subject to final
revisions at budget time in early
1978.
The budget for the Huron
County Planning Board drew the
most comment and county council
turned down 0 request for another
senior planning technician. While

six percent increase to the

and a planning technician - it
turned the budget back to
committee t'ot• revisions.
The planning budget called
for expenditures totalling
$162,000 , up nearly $28,000 over
last year's budget of $134,000.
But Chairman Bill Clifford of
Goderich said the county
taxpayers' portion of the budget
will be increased by $42,400,
nxlstly because the Community
Study Grants will be delayed until
1979 because of an Ontario
gx)vernment policy to hold back
grant money until final Ministry
approval is granted for completed
planning procedures in the
municipalities.
"There is a delay of six months
to a year on certain funds," said
Chairman Clifford.
Up Six Per Cent
Goderich Township Reeve
Gerry Ginn noted the direct cost
of Huron County residents in 1978
wa:, up 36 per cent. He asked how
council intended to keep the total
county increase in 1978 to six per
cent if one committee was allowed
this kind of an increase.
Reeve Bill Elson Morris said
planning board costs were getting
"completely out of control'. and
felt ways should be found to
reduce the cost of planning rather
than asking the people to pay
more toward the process.
Frank Cook, deputy -reeve of
Clinton predicted the planning

A fire Sunday morning
destroyed a house trailer on
Morris Street in Blyth owned by
Doug Brown.
The Blyth Fire Department was
called in at 2:40 a.m. but were
unable to say.c the structure. Mr.
Brown managed to get out in time
and spent the night at the home of
his brother, Bob Brown of Blyth.
Assistant Fire Cheif Jim
Howson said the Fire Department
was uncertain about the exact
cause of the fire but they think it
was caused by an overheated
furnace.
Mr. Brown, who is currently
staying at the home of his mother,
Mrs. Bill Brown, thinks it would
cost over $8000 to replace the
trailer and everything in it.

The jobs of autumn
Well, it's nice to know that God reads my
column. A few weeks alto, a bit daunted
after 80 clays and nights of rain, I wrote
Him a direct and rather petulant letter
suggesting that He turn off the taps, that
we'd gut the message.
Boy, Ile doesn't fool around. If I'd sent
the letter by mail, He would 1101 have
received it until next spring, when we'll
probably neat some rain. 'that's why I put
i1 in a column, which he obviously perused
during a celestial coffee break.
Within 2-1 hours, Ile had turned off the
showers, brought out the sun, which I
thought IIe'd mislaid permanently , and
favored his favorite critters with a couple of
weeks of the hest weather we've had since
.fitly.
Well, Lord, it's been great and we're
grateful. But there's only one flaw in the
ointment, as we say in literary circles. The
weather's been so glorious it has sparked a
round of activities at our place that has me
staggering with fatigue and reeling with
confusion,
As long as the rains poured down, we
just sort of huddled around the boob tube
and I had a perfect excuse for not getting
the last of the grass cut, the leaves raked,
the storm windows on, and various other
chores too boring and miscellaneous to
nx'ntion.
Hut the minute that sten came filtering
into our soggy lives, the Old I3attleaxe
whetted her edge and started whittling at
me.
Spend a sunny Sunday driving Io the city
and hark (could have been golfing) to
deli\ era couple of outfits our resident
dressmaker had made for her daughter,
the student leacher, cc hich the latter had
forgotten to take last time she »cas here.
Ale dummy.
\\'e found the student teacher in an
til :owed state of controlled hysteria,
fingernails bitten to the first knuckle, eyes
tiring wildly. She was to start teaching
next day. My wife was convinced, not
without reason, that Kim would go to her
lirst teaching assignment wearing jeans, a
T-shirt and sneakers, about all the clothes
she's got.
I hope she had better Tuck than one of the
student teachers in our school this week.
Poor guy tried to break up a light in the
cafeteria between a couple of massive
Grade Tw'elvers, and was kicked in the
head.
Anyway, that blew the first nice day. But
it was only the beginning. Our front door
wouldn't open, our back door wouldn't
dose, and if you were in the bathroom and
pulled the knob to open the door, it would
come off and you might be there forever.
Then the pole at one end of the
clothesline was bowing toward the garage
1 16444
al a •15 degree angle. And the squirrels had
chewed a hole' and were enjoying daily
udlee klatches at (x:.30 a.m. Lawn was
kneep-deep in you know what. Bricks were
falling out of the hack of the house, four
Quitters were missing, as were 10 shingles
wiry: the guys look off the ire last year.
Alio a couple of clays of —13111, when are
\uu going to .. Hill, what about the ... 13i11 ,
why don't you call..." I was forced into
action. I told the old lady to call our
neighbor, a contractor. I personally
umlacted my Grade 9 leaf -raker. I ran into
Mike at the liquor store and mentioned the
storm windows.
Well , sir, things began to happen
tu'ound here. Our front dour opens and the
hack one closes. You can go into the
bathroom and know you won't be there for
clays. The clothesline pole no longer looks
like a postcoital phallic symbol. The storm
windows are on. The lawn is raked. Even
the squirrels are frustrated by a piece oI' tin
over their hole.
You might think I'd feel pretty good. But
right in the middle of all this executive
organization of ranine, my wife got us into
one of those log jams we have about once a
year. She decided to get the living room
nig cleaned.
Quite simple, really. It's just a little old
Indian rug, 12 by 1 b, that can be rolled up
tuul carried anywhere by six men and a
camel. She arranged for it to be picked up.
'then she decided to have the hardwood
floor done while the rug was away. She
decided the under -rug was ready for the
dump, \vltich it \'as. She called t he
under -rug man.
'!'hen she learned that the floor
finisher had to have all the furniture out 01'
the living roost, to operate his sander.
'Iltis required a couple of moving men, as
have a sore back. We decided to take the
chesterfield and the dining room table out
through the French doors and leave them
either in the back vai'd or the garage.
covered with plastic.
'Iltis was vetoed by cooler heads, of
which there were very few left, by this
time.
Oh we had a busy busy Hallowe'en. I can
tell you. The sanding machine was roaring
like ahull 1000se in the' living room. You
had Io vault over the chesterfield to answer
the trick -or -treaters. And the latter set fire
to a vast pile of dry leaves out at the curb,
with a nice breeze plowing. and the
neighbors phoned the fire department.
reluctant to sec my garage and two vintage
used cars go up in pa -boom!
We've weathered the storm. 'Through
sheer executive genius, I got all the right
lxople in the right places at the right time,
!haven't lifted so much as an ash tray, and
after having a tooth extracted, I found that
I couldn't cat for a few hours, but could
manage a little straight rye sucked through
a straw.
But next time, Lord, please don't be so
literal -minded. Those Indian summer s
get my wife so excited she'll be the death
of me. And I still have to pay off Jim and
his carpenters, Mike and his helper, the
rug cleaners, the floor sanders, the
under -rug people, and the leaf raker. If
someone said to me "Get thee to a
nunnery," I'd probably take him up o' tt.
And find that the nuns were having the
whole convent redecorated.

A living memorial
A recent suggestion that Blyth is lacking a stone
memorial to its war dead has generated much
comment particularly among those area citizens who
recognize the contribution which the existing Blyth
memorial makes to the community in the name of
those it commemorates.
While Blyth may not have a stone cenotaph it most
assuredly does have a memorial in brick to its war
dead.
In many other towns and villages, cold stone
lriemorials have been built.lt is true such memorials
will continue to provide a reminder of the acts of
valour they mark as indeed do similar memorials
erected through the centuries. At the same time their
presence tends to be taken for granted as the years
pass and their true significance is noted perhaps one
day a year.
But the people of Blyth had a different idea of what
a memorial should be . They conceived, in 1920 , a
living memorial in the form of a hall that would be a
focal point of community life. Many groups and
committees backed the idea, and with the help of the
wh ole community the structure was built.
In any week of the year, there is sure to be at least
one group activity taking place in the Memorial Hall.
In recent weeks there have been two dinners that
attract. d more than 300 people to the hall. There are
concfrts planned for the winter months and weekly
draws will soon be held there courtesy of the board of
trade.
The survival of the hall demands care and money,
and the fact that Blyth people have worked to keep it
going is proof of its significance.
A few years ago, the hall was condemned, and the
concern of many citizens was aroused. In an effort
involving the whole community, the hall was
renovated.
With the coming of the Blyth summer festival in
1975, even more enthusiasm was generated.
It is said the photographs of soldier heroes were
gathering dust in the Hall, their names slowly but
surely being forgotten. Yet if that is so, is there any
proof that names on a stone memorial would be
remembered more?
'rhe soldiers who fought and died in the world wars
did so because they believed in freedom and in the
quality of the society they left. They fought for our
lives and our future. A stone memorial might remind
some of us of their sacrifice one day of the year. The
Memorial Hall perpetuates their memory through
activities that are part of the life they fought for, and
involve the whole community.

1 have a project in mind that must surely
deserve generous funding from the Canada
Council. Indeed it's a project so lengthy and
difficult that it may take several hours to
complete.
The project I have in mind is to discover just
who in Canada is benefitting from confeder-
ation. It may take all the skills of Sherlock
olmes plus the use of a battery of I13M
computers to find out.
Probably it will come down to a process of
elimination. Now at the top of the list of those
\vho arc being raped by the Canadian union is
Quebec. We all know that because Rene
Levesque tells us that every (lay. Once he wins
his referendum and pulls Quebec out of
Canada, everything will be hunky dory down
there. No unemployment. No American
domination. No problems of any sort, except
that even winning the referendum won't
change the Quebec cli mate and they'll still
have to put up with winter Iilkc the rest of us
(although come to think of it most of the snow
conies from the west and Rene night just ban
imports from Ontario).
For almost as long as we've heard about
how everyone was benefitting from Canada at
Quebec's expense, we've also been hearing
about how the West was suffcreing to keep
the rest of Canadians happy. 'They'd be much
better off with their own country, westerners
have told us, or even if they joined the U.S.
instead.
Saskatchewan and Manitoba have suffered
because they produced all that wheat but
easterners got all the jobs of turning it into
flour and bread and other products. We got
cheap wheat, but they had to pay through the
nose for cars and toasters and other
knick-knacks made down cast and shipped
west at great expense. Albertans, of course,
have had the sante complaint for years about
both wheat and cattle and now they're taking
cheap prices for their oil so the rest of us can
keep our standard of living up. One of these
days, they warn us, they'll let us freeze in the
dark.
British Columbia, of course, with it's
mountains and the sea and its warm climate
isn't envious in the least of people in other
parts of the country. In fact if the rest of
Canada froze to death under a giant snow
drift, the west coasters probably wouldn't
miss us anyway. They hate easterners,
anyway, just for the fun of it.
The North, of course has been exploited for
years by the south so they're tar front happy
\vith bring part of ('anada.
l)o\vn cast, there's talk of a nc\\ state called
Atlantica in place of the presc nt provinces of
Nova Scotia, Nev Brunswick and Prince
1:(I\yaid Island. Supporters of the idea point
out they've had nothing but grief from
Confederation. Before union they had a
thriving ecllnonl\' dol\\'ll there, cutting trees,
building boats, fishing, etc. Confederation
brought an en(I to all that.
Trade would also be easier ‘lith the New
England States than with the rest of Canada.,
I suppose the first thing the net country
‘gill do is built a giant fleet of sailing ships to
ply the oceans and return the local economy to
\that it used to be :they'd have to be sailing
ships because they couldn't afford to buy the
oil from the kingdom of Alberta to run modern
ships .
Premier Moores over in Newfoundland is
talking these days of pulling Newfoundland
back out of Confederation. 1le's been undoing
most of,loey Sntall\wood's handiwork for years
n ow.
So all that scenes to leave just Ontario to
benefit fromC'anada. 13ut Northern Ontario is
in rebellion, wanting to be a separate
province, tired of being exploited by the
south. So that leaves just southern Ontario to
benefit. But eastern Ontario has been feeling
n eglected for years, so that leaves the rest of
the province as the sole beneficiaries of
Confederation.Bu1 we here in Western
Ontario have been unhappy with all our
industry being sucked away by 'Toronto and
Hamilton and such places for years. So that
leaves only the Golden Horseshoe. But
everybody in the Golden H orseshoe feels
they're unjustly treated by 'Toronto. So that
leaves just 'Toronto. 13ut the burroughs and
Toronto city have been fighting for years, one
claiming the other is taking advantage of the
other.
Nov\my research hasn't gone any further,
but I'm beginning to think the final answer of
who benefits from Confederation will come
down to solitary little old lady living in (ton
Mills drawing an old age pension paid for by
taxes from people in British Columbia, eating
inexpensive bread and buns rade from wheat
ripped off from the poor people of Saskat-
chewan, and eating fish and chips from the
fish stolen from hardworking Newfound-
landers and potatoes bought at too -cheap
prices from farmers in P.E.I. and heating her
house with oil subsidied by the t^ng-suffering

Now when this lady passes on, (or retires to
Arizona) the reason for keeping Canada
together will disappear and all the parts can
go their happy way. And we wouldn't even
have to pay for an expensive referendum.
I think the Canada council should love this
project.

Dentist - musician keeps active
To say that Charles 'loll has
been active in his lifetime \vould
be an understatement.
As an army nhy dentist, a world
traveller, and a hand leader, he's
had his share of \what the world
has to offer.
A small nuuh. \with white hair
and a ready smile, Charles 'Toll,a
dentist in Seaforth is ready and
eager to tell bis;tdventures to any
willing listener.
He attended local
schools and Clinton Collegiate
and it was about this time that he
began his long association with
hands.
In 1914 he was playing in a
hand tender the direction of Sam
( idlev \vhen the \1';11• Cattl(2. Ilk'
hand p laved fur Armistice Day in
1918. The next hand he played for
was a boy scout halted under the
direction of .1 111 )lockstep but that
hand folded. In 1919, Mr. Toll
went to the university of 'Toronto
I0 study and teach dentistry and
styacd there for seven years. He
came hack to Blyth as a dentist in
1928 and another band got going
under the direction of lid
Otterman from Milverton. Called
the Red Seal Band it carried on
until 1941 and during the last
three years from 1939 to 1941 was
directed by l)r. Toll..
It \vas then that I)r. 'Toll joined
the ;limy and left Blyth. While in
the army he was 11itlh the
dentistry unit and the men called
themselves "The Gumboil
Lancers" he said. At the end of
the war he was in Vancouver and
on retirement from the service he
established a dental practice in
the town of Trail, B.C. where he
remained for 20 years. While
there he played \with the Maple
Leap's, an Italian band. As a result
of all is association I)r. 'Poll
learned three phrases of Italian,
He knows how to say, "Good
Morning," "1 -Io\' are you", and
"Open your mouth," which he
says is all that t dentist needs.
In 19h(i he came back east and
settled in London when he joined
the dental staff of the school
department and worked for the
Department of Health for
Ontario. Later that sank vcar he
and his \vile took a trip tht would
Ile comparable to a world tour.
They travelled through East
Africa, Kenya, India, Bombay,
A gra, New Delhi, 'Taiwan,
Singapore, Hong Kong, and
Tokyo. They came hack through
Hawaii Honolulu, Portland,
Victoria, 'Trail. Toronto and
London. Despite the miles
wandered and the countries
visited 1)r. Toll recalled they
completed the trip in 30 days.
In 1970, the 'Tolls went 10
Seaforth and in 1971, Mr. 'toll
organized the Seaforth .Junior
Band for boys and girls. The band
played at the Seaforth fall fair
parade and other events in
Brussels, Blyth and Brodhagcn
and operated for three years.
1)r. 'Toll organized the
Seaforth-Dashwood Community
hand in 1974 which includes
members from Dashwood
because he says there were not
enough from Seaforth. The
current hand has 30 members.
The hand has been quite active
this year, playing the Godcrich
Old Boys Reunion, The Blyth Old
Boys Reunion, the Lucan Fall
Fair, the Exeter Fall Fair,
Mitch.11 Fall Fair, the Blyth
'T'hresher's Reunion and at
Iluronyie\w. The hand season
ends with a Christmas banquet
and members take about three
months off in the wintertime.
Not content to stand all the
time behind a dental chair Dr.
Toll has taken advantage of every
opportunity to travel and this has
led to several adventures. Ile
recalls that on CC 111 194/, he \vas
up the Arctle and got shipwrecked
and was forced to take a lifeboat
for shore. In 195(1 he took his wife
and daughter to the Yukon when
they wrc marooned on a sandbar
for 20 hours.
For the pat five years he has
been \working in the Caribbean as
a dentist for a church clinic and
while down there, he was robbed
twice,
His long years with so many
different bandshas provided hint
with a \wealth of material which he
is going to use \vhen he publishes
his memoirs. Right now he is
collecting pictures of each of the
bands in which he played.
Charles 'full who says he is in
his late 70's is living proof of the
truth of that old adage, "Age is
only a state of the mind."
From me toy ou
By Rhea Hamilton
Winter has landed with a
whoosh and we are still digging
out here at the office and at
home.
Why is it that the day you
spend shovelling snow is wasted
so easily by the lightest of winds
softly blowing snow back into
your lanc\way.
Monday morning found my
husband and myself shovelling
from before eight in the morning
'till nine. It may not scent like a
long time but with every
shovelful) my out of practise back
winced \with tight muscles from
Sundays shovelling spree.
As it may be deducted I ante not
a lover of the vile ‘white stuff that
Perry Como refers to when he
sings, singing "Let it snow, let it
snow, let is snow." if it were not
for the fact that it is cold and
makes my hands and legs and
feet ache at night, or it makes my
clothes wet \vhen I have to get out
and shovel to get to work in the
many mornings between
November and April, I might
conte to terms with the season
and maybe enjoy it.
Two winters after shaking my
list at the clouds and 10 foot drifts
my husband decided that if 1
couldn't beat it I should join it
With a bit of much needed
exercise. 1 -le purchased a pair of
cross country skiis. All is well and
dandy with the winter season
when I can now get out and tear
up and down the fields 011 a sunny
sparkly, wintery day. Now when I
get the time ...
Until the next nice clay I will
grit my teeth and smile at all the
children in the yards and school
playgrounds who enjoy the snow
and are not hindered or upsest by
the weather.
Last week we thought we were
getting along pretty well by being
able to get all the news into the
paper. About one hour after the
paper had been sent up to
Goderich to be printed we noticed
the sports had unfortunately been
left out. Our apologies to all the
people involved who take the time
and effort to get the sports news
in to us. We have specially noted
where the sports copy has gone
and it will not be missed this
week, Many thanks to all th ose
who have been co-operating with
the news and getting it in to us.
the Blyth Board of Trade has
set up a money making contest for
all the shoppers in Blyth. In the
ad last week some of the sponsors
for the contest had their firm
names shortened by accident so
this week their names are written
as shown and we hope everyone
\will note the change.

For marketing board
Corn )ro)osa endorsed
Area corn growers agreed
Thursday night that the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture should
continue research that may lead
to the formation of 11 corn
producers marketing board. But
they were adamant 'hat such a
board should have no control over
pricing, and that nlenl.hership in
it should) be voluntary.
The growers met in Clinton
with John Oke, a member of the
OFA's grain committee, to
discuss a proposal ‘vhich will be
tabled at the OFA's annual
meeting in Toronto this ‘vcck.
Mr. Oke assured the 40 corn
growers present that the OFA
proposes only a negotiating board
‘‘ith xvhat it terms "low level
functions" rather than an agency
type board with buying, selling
and pricing powers. Since some
40 percent of the corn grown in
the province is used fir feed, an
agency board would not work for
corn, the OFA proposal stresses.
Seven points are outlined in the
proposal, \yhich Mr. Oke offered
to the corn growers t'or continent.
The proposed board's first
function would be to act as a
sp okeman for corn growers,
informing the public and
producers of developments in
earn production. "Corn growers
today really have no one to
represent them" Mr. Okc said,
There are currently 1 I nun on the
governments grain council, but
only three of them ore farmers, he
noted. United through a board,
corn growers could lobby for
terminal storage needs,
transportation subsidies, td: riff
and trade equity, and research
into cheaper drying methods, the
oF\ feels.
The hoards second function
would be to negotiate and
administer advance payments.
Producers organizations handle
advance payments for other
crops. and the OF;\ says corn
growers could become ineligible
for such payments without a
hoard to negotiate and administer
the Ulan.
The proposed hoard would also
be charged \kith the responsibility
of negotiating stahiliiat ion
payments for corn. Al present
„we're left at the mercy of the
government to stabilize as they
see fit, ‘vith 110 input from
producers whatsoever" Mr. Oke
said.
Handling and drying charges,
which Mr. Oke termed a "hot
subject" among corn growers,
‘vould also be negotiated by the
board. Main area of contention
for corn growers is moisture
content. Currently, there are "no
regulations on moisture content
testing", Mr. Oke said, and some
elevators have been using
moisture charts from the U.S.
vyhich are not appropriate for
Ontario corn. It is also felt by
some that drying and handling
charges are excessive, and the
OFA proposes negotiating a
maximum charge each year, as
protection for growers.
A fifth function of the board
would) be to negotiate payments
for premium grades of corn.
"Corn with as much as 40 or 50
percent moisture is going into
some elevators" Mr. Okc said,
.,hut those )who bring in low
(Moisture corn get no bonds on
i1". Extra money for premium
grades often goes to the elevator
rather than the producer, the
OFA maintains.
The OFA also secs 0 corn
marketing hoard supplying trade
information which would aids
producers in selling their crop at
the hest time, and working to
promote export opportunities.
Discussion at the meeting often
dealt with specific points of
interest to individual farmers, but
Huron F of A president Alan
Walper stressed that the growers
were being asked only i1' they
were in favour' of some kind of
group to act as spokesman, and
that details would be ‘yorketl out

Ntr. Oke said before the hoard
could he formed, 0 proposal
would have to he put before the
federal Farm Products Marketing
Board, and 0 plebiscite held. The
signatures of 2,2(X) corn
producers would be needed
before the 1300rdl would) allow 0
plebiscite on the matter, Mr. Oke
said, a process which could take
two years.
Huron F of A vice president
Merle Gunby, responding to the
obvious reluctance of some of
those present to commit
themselves to endorsing the OFA
proposal, said "farmers would be
silly not to look into it a little
further. It can't do us anything
but good." He pointed out that
there would be time in the future
to decide if producers really want
0 corn board and to work out
details of the powers it would
have.
A show of hands indicated) that
the majority of the growers on

Tell me again how
Unemployment
Insurance qualifications
are c »
New legislation has changed some of the
ground rules of our UI program.
Parliament has decided that people who live
in areas of high unemployment will be given
certain advantages over those who live where jobs
are more plentiful.
Which means that, as of December 4, you'll
need more insurable work weeks to qualify for
Unemployment Insurance benefits.
"10 to 14 weeks, depending
on where you live, right?"
Right again.
In regions of low unemployment, claimants
will need up to 14 weeks of insurable employment
to get UI benefits. This will only happen in
places \vhere it's easier to get and keep a job.
In regions of high unemployment, claimants
will need as little as 10 weeks to qualify.
But until December 4, the entrance
requirement remains at eight weeks wherever you
live.
"How about the two week
waiting period?"
No change. The basic two week waiting
period remains the same everywhere.
And so do the rules on the waiting period
\when a claimant has left his or her job for no
good reason or been fired for misconduct.
In such cases, a claimant may have to wait up
to eight weeks from when employment ends
until benefits start.
euchre will he held at ti:30 ;.m.

"Has the amount of the
benefits changed?"
Absolutely not. The UI benefit rate
stays at two-thirds of your average weekly
insurable earnings.
The maximum is $147, less tax.
"Anything else •
I should know?"
The maximum time for which anyone
may receive benefits has changed slightly.
The old maximum was 51 weeks. Now it's
50 weeks.
But since September 11, the total
number of weeks for which a claimant qualifies
has more closely reflected the unemployment
rate in his or her region.

Right now, we measure unemployment by
dividing Canada into 16 economic regions. Later,
in 1978, we \\'i11 tine -tune the program to 54
regions so that L' I \yill he even more closely
related to the local labour market conditions.
Also, there's maternity, sickness and age 65
benefits.
Previously, sickness benefits were only
payable during the first 39 weeks of the claim.
Now they are payable at any time during the
entire benefit period.
Maternity benefits of 15 weeks and the
special one -tine benefit (equal to three weeks'
benefits) at age 65 remains the same.
The same people still pay for the program in
the same proportions, and the types of
employment insurable for U I remain the same,
too.
And, as explained in the box below, you
still go to the familiar locations for both UI offices
and Canada Manpower Centres. Watch for
changes in your area.
The Unemployment Insurance Commission and the
Department of Manpouvr and Immigration have become
the Canada Employment and Immigration Com nissiori.
For a tine, you'll still see our local offices identified as
Unemployment Insurance offices or Canada Manpo
Centres. When they're together in one location, they'll t
called Canada Employment Centres.

Severance costs may climb
County council didn't conte to
any conclusion Friday on the
question of who would bear the
additional costs for land
severances - the taxpayers of
Huron or the individuals applying
for the severances.So the matter
wastossed back its the laps of the
Land Division Committee for
decision. Members do have the
authority to charge an administra-
tion fee on any approved
severances, or they can choose to
continue as at present.
The problem in a nutshell is
simple. The present charge for
each application for severance is
$50. As of. october 31, 1977 the
average cost per severance is
$152, based on 206 severances
received to date. Who should pay
the additional $102?
The Land Division Committee
which is set up under provincial
legislation, has certain authorities
granted to it. Just recently the
Land Division Conimittee in Peel
attached fees in excess of $700 to
one severance which was
approved, and the decision was
upheld in the court.
According to county adminis-
trator Bill Hanly, the precedent
has been set and it is now a
question in Huron County of
"how much should be subsidized
by the public".
Bayfield Rcevc Ed. Oddliefson,
asked, "should the people of
Huron pay the costs for an
individual who is asking for a
severance so he can snake
money?"
Stanley Township Deputy -
reeve Paul Steckle answered:
"the people who are receiving the
benefits should also pay the
costs."
But that feeling wasn't shared
by everyone. Reeve Jack Tinney
of Hay suggested much pressure
could be brought on the Land
Division Committee if the
applicants were paying the entire
cost of severance. Tinney also
wondered how high the costs for
land severances might go.
Reeve Bill Elston of Morris
Township thought the Land
Division Committee should be
striving to "bring costs down
instead of getting people to pay
more" .
"1 really am disappointed to
see what's happening," he said.
The Land Division Committee,
it was learned, has been
operating at a loss almost from its
inception. Members of the
current land division committee
are Roy Westcott, Elmer Hayter,
Girvin Reed, John Hazlitt and J.
L. McCutcheon.

Winter driving demands care
The winter ahead, according to
predictions, k to be as severe as
last winter. Roads will glaze with
ice, snow will drift across our
highways and snowplows will
push the snow into towering
hanks along the sides of our
highways. Winds will take over
from here creating wind tunnels
between these towering hanks of
snow where our highway once
was. In these win(( tunnels the
wind will swirl snow into a fury of
white nothingness creating what
we call a "white-out". When we
((rivers get stopped in one of
these tittles of sightlessness, we
could be on the wrong side of the
road meeting an oncoming car, or
((rive into the rear of the car or
u•11ek ahead. Fortunately, SOME
drivers driving under these
oaiditions are driving at a slower
rate of speed than normal. In this
Committee to
examine Hydro
By Murray Gaunt
Premier William Davis
indicated this week he has no
objection to moving Lieutenant
Governor Pauline McGibbon's
suite out of the Legislative
Building, as long as suitable
acconlnlodation can be found near
Queen's Park .
Such a move would be
prompted by the (desperate need
for finding space to accommodate
M. P. P.'s.
Ontario's municipal elections
will henceforth he held on the
second Monday in November.
Previously, voting (lay has been
the first Monday in December.
The Legislature is still debating
whether or not the terns for
municipal council should remain
at two years or be extended to
three years. That will he (leci(le(1
next week.
During the spending estimates
of his office, Premier William
Davis defended a $1 million
increase in the cost of running his
ofti.ti° over the past six years by
citing increases in workload and
responsibility. The total budget
for the Premier's office this year
is $1.5 million.
Ontario has abolished the
concept of the illegitimate child
for purposes of the law, and has
also set up a legal framework to
help establish parentage even
when the parents have never
been married to each other.
The new law received Royal
Assent earlier this month, but will
not go into effect until March 3. 1,
.1978.
The legislation will have special
significance in court cases
involving inheritance claims,
since under its provisions
illegitimate children will have the
same standing as all other
children when either a mother or
father or both die without leaving
a will. Before the new law,
illegitimate children had no claims
before the courts for inheritance.
The entire scope of Ontario
Hydro's current and future
operations has been opened up
for detailed examination by a
select committee • of the
Legislature appointed this week.
The term of reference for the
committee, which had been a
matter of considerable behind -
the scenes controversy between
the ,Liberals, the NDP and the
Government, are broad enough to
allow committee members to
question everything from the
current construction of heavy
water plants in Bruce County to
Ontario's commitment to nuclear
power.
The select committee's terms,
for cxample,c all for it to examine
Ontario Hydro's planning
stragtegy for adopting nuclear
power, and in particular large
versus small generating stations,
remote stations versus sites chose
to urban areas, and the ratio of
nuclear fuel generating stations
that should be built in comparison
to fossil fuel stations.
Also to be considered by the
select committee arc the
economics of nuclear power
versus generation from other
primary fuels; the performance
and reliability of nuclear power
stations; the nuclear generating
stations; and environmental
impact and health considerations
related to nuclear power.
case, if there is a collision, the
severity of the crash is reduced
with the rate of speed and so is
personal injury reduced.
In a study on traftic deaths it
was found that death had
occurred in collisions at speeds as
low as 12 M.P.H. Seat belts can
prevent this, particularly that
sometimes uncomfortable one,
the shoulder helt. Without sect
belts occupants of vehicles in
collision go slamming against the
steering column, dashboard, roof
and windshield. Some are thrown
out of the vehicle which is
generally fatal. Pict ore a child
on your lap in a collision at just 30
M.P.H., your body is forced
forward crushing the child
against the dashboard. Statistics
show you are 80% safer belted
up. Reduce your risk of serious
personal injury or death -
BUCKLE UP!
Here are some tips for winter
driving.
1. if you are involved in a
J, 0 J, .4 .b JI • r W 0 •, V 'b '.

EVERYTHING
collision and visibility is poor to
nil, stay in your car, pedestrians
can die when struck.
2. Posted speed limits are for
ideal conditions. In winter it may
be too fast. Use good judgement.
3. Be able to sec and be seen.
Keep all windows and lights clean
and clear of snow. Usc your
headlights freely ...you may not
see better, but you may be seen
better even in daytime. 11
visibility is less than 500 feet it is
law and you must use
HEADLIGHTS.
4. Winds cool bridges and
overpasses quickly and they ice
up more quickly than the rest of
the road• Soil insulates and acts
as a heat pad slowing the freezing
of roads.
5. While driving on ice and snow
remember that sudden movement
can cause a skid. Don't speed up,
turn or brake sharply on slippery
roads.
0. Allow a safe following distance
anytime but particularly on
•••
slippery roads in case of sudden
slops. In 70-80% of accidents
"following too close" is involved.
7. Remove accumulated slush
and snow from car fenders areas
before it breezes and effects
steering.
8. If you find yourself' stuck in
snow, use second gear if a manual
shift, and drive if automatic. Start
slowly and gradually, don't gun
the motor, this causes wheels to
spin and turns snow to ice.
9. Many people die or suffer from
exposure or frost bite when they
get stuck or stranded in their car.
Dress according to weather
conditions and be prepared in
case you have to walk a mile or
two.
10. If your car does get stuck,
have it removed as soon as
possible so that it doesn't cause
another accident or block snow
removal.
Winter driving requires much
common sense.

draftsman for two years n ow, and
that if another senior planning
technician was hired, the junior
planning technician could handle
those duties. Looking at it this
way, Mr. Clifford reasoned, the
new staff member would cost the
county only about $9,(X)0 per
annum.
The Goderich reeve urged
council to "think it over carefully"
saying that if added staff was
turned down, less planning would
be completed in 1978 and
municipalities must be prepared
to wait for their secondary plans.
Harold Robinson, reeve of
Howick, said the secondary plans
"are no great shakes" and said
he felt Huron County wasn't such
a bad place to live when there was
no planning at all.
Stanley Deputy -reeve Paul
Steckle said planning is "going
on behind the scenes" by people
of all walks of life interested in
their own personal affairs.He said
that in a municipality like Stanley
Town ship which has lakfront
land, there are more n on -resi-
dents than residents involved in
this kind of planning. When
citizens go about p tanning in
such a haphazard way, Mt
Steckle said, the local councils
find themselves with some real
problems on their hands.
Mr. Steckle said he had n of
always been happy with the
county planning department, but
commended the planners for the
assistance they had provided to
the townships in most instances.
Deputy -reeve Eldrid Simmons
of Exeter said that to hire another
planner was "the cheapest
route". He suggested that if local
councils hired their own planning
consultants, they would find it
much more expensive. He
suggested that if the county
turned down the planning board's
recommendation, it would show
councillors were "not looking far
enough ahead on this.,'
"Local authority also invo\lcs
foal responsihlity " said Gary
Davidson.
