Decision to sell was taken following an accident on Ash Wednesday; when John J. Hol land, who has operated the busi- ness since the turn' of the cen- tury, fell and fractured his hip. He is a patient in Scott Mem- orial Hospital. The present building was erected about 1894 by Philip Carlin, who founded the busi- ness. A few years later it was sold* to Mr. Holland..

Council adopted a report of the Huronview County Farm Committee, recommending that, 60 acres' in Stanley Township, across No. ° 4 Highway from Huronview, be sold; that the barn at Huronview be sold sub- ject to removal, and that the remainder of the land not re quired for Huronview opera- tions be rented. The report, presented by com- mittee chairman Ralph Jewell, pointed out: "In -the event we continue to operate our farm;' it is going to be necessary to spend considerable monies in purchasing new equipment. As you know from the financial statements of recent date, our profit is very small. In addi- tion, the management of Hur- onview now requires all the time of Mr. Johnston without - having the farm added to his responsibilities," In speaking tg tete, 'open, Reeve Jewel. said that if the farm was retained, -something. would have to be done to int,' prove the herd. "They are no advertisement for . the county," he added. Discussion revealedthat no longer are there residents able to carry on work at the farm, and as a result it was of no ad- vantage to Huronview. Of 54 admitted last year, 31 were over 80 years, and six were over 90 years of age. For the first time, four married couples are enjoying Huronview facili- ties.

While integration can pro- duce substantial benefits, it is essential that care be taken in determining who owns an in- tegrated unit. Father John Mc- Iver, S.F.M., Scarboro, told the meeting. Father McIver, an area native and graduate of- the Seaforth. Collegiate Institute, said co-op- eratives can play an important role in developing integration and at the same time keeping control in the hands of producer members.
