Mr Hammond said the addition was a major job and that it should be done by the whole county. He asked what consideration would be given Vanastra if the county took over, as Vanastra had been paying all along. GRANT CUTS • Mrs.: Clare Haskett said she was at a recent meeting of recreational officials who warned that grant money was going to be less. She said that Vanasta had had its share of grant money and future grants should go to larger centres.. "The days of the golden goose are over," she said Mrs. Haskett.complained that, 'We can't use our own centre, not even for weddings, and our handicapped have been turned away and snubbed. People that are handicapped, are handicapped.'' Mrs. Durnin replied that the reason patients from Heather Gardens, which is run by Mrs; Haskett, had been turned away was because they were not attended by a staff Member. Mrs, Haskett replied that her staff worked at minimum wages and "We canna t afford to send a staff member with one patient."

The business men seemed to agree that the costs Should be put over the whole county and that the reeve and the deputy reeve who represent the township on county council, should do a selling, job to convince the county to take over. Reeve Sillery replied that, "We have tried to get the comity to take Otter recreation but it did hot go over.
