ters with the Gevenor, R. W.

Te committee authorized that
in future the guard on duty
would only be requited to punch
the clock at Station five at
nine o'clock and three o'clock,
during the night hours. This
particular clock is located in

feeling of the committee that
two calls per night shift would
be satisfactory.
Governor 'Belt reported to
County Council Monday, that 260

tioned that the Rest Home has
25 residents at the present
time.
Reeve J. H. Corbett, Hay, told
Council his mother was a rest
-
dent there; he had visited it
and it was a very beautiful
place.
Reeve Duff Thompson, Clin-
ton, irked about where the
money was to come from.
Clerk -treasurer J. G. Bet
explained that final paymen
would be made this year t
Goderich Hostital; Wingham
had already been paid off. No
many the County was settin
aside $50,000 per year for ho
pital purpoaea.
Reeve James Hayter, Steph
en, said he was in favour of th
grant but he thought the Coun
ty should be contacted befor
any' such Home was built i
the future. He thought th
County had. plenty of space a
"Huron:view". "1 feel we can
afford all these luxuries," h
stated.
Reeve George Wonch, Clin
ton, agreed' with James Hayter
but there must be a • limit t
these things and a policy Mus
be laid on.
Reeve Alvin D. Smith, Turn
berry, said he had heard tha
there • were non-residents o
Huron County in the Home o
contemplating coming. He fel
that a county -supported Hom
should be for—Huron—County
people only.
Reeve Leroy Thiel, Zurich, re
plied that in the event th
Home isn't filled, the Provinc
had, the right to bring in pat
ients. Many said it was an in
dividual organization; actuall
it was a non-profit group. Th
building program would be
financial benefit to the Count
of Huron; the cost was $400 pe
bed whereas the cost at "Huron
view" was' $10,000 per bed.' "If
we can get around spendin
that kind of money, this 'offe
should be picked up," hede
dared.

elt. "What happens when all

Warden Donald McKenzie,
Ashfield, was of the opinion
hat the matter go back to com-
ittee in •order to declare a

ted at a cost 'in the neighbor-
hood of $10,000." •

ience and dedication of the cur-
ator, James Chisholm, 'prior to

sels, speaking as chairman of
the Tourism and Industrial

mally dedicated in this manner.
