HURON COUNCIL CONSIDERS VARIETY OF RESOLUTIONS Arising f r o m correspond- ence, delegations and commit- tee reports, county council on Thursday dealt with such di- verse matters as beer advertis- ing, margarine coloring, open season for deer and the invitation list for the Warden's banquet. Adopting a report from the legislative and educational com- mittee, council concurred in a Bruce County resolution that "because of the insidious TV advertising by brewers and the resulting demoralizing attitudes being instilled in our youth," representations be made to the Prime Minister, the Premier of Ontario, Liquor Control Board and the BBG, urging that this type of advertising be curtail- ed. Council concurred also in a resolution from Huron County Cream Producers "that we QUICK CANADIAN QUIZ 1. On' Canada's farms are there more cattle, horses, pigs or sheep? 2.

Horace Delbridge, RR 3, Exe- ter, president pf, the Cream Pro- ducers, told council: "We do not oppose coloring of margar- ine if the margaraine people think they have a product wor- thy of it, but we do not desire them to color it the natural color of butter, a light yellow, and that is what we are asking you to support. We do not care if they color it orange or green, but leave the natural color of butter alone. They do not seem to have faith enough in their product to color it distinctively, but want to climb on the band wagon and say they have some- thing as good as butter and a lot cheaper" (applause). The district forester .for the Lands and Forests Department, E. K. E. Dreyer, Hespeler, had written asking advice respect- ing'a 1963 open season on deer. The agricultural committee re- commended against an open season in Huron. "Following the response of counties to the Minister's let- ter of May, 1962," it was sug- gested that Huron, Waterloo, Oxford, Brant and Wentworth have an. open season Nov. 4th to 6th, inclusive, with firearms restricted to shotguns and use of dogs prohibited. For Bruce and. Grey, an open season of six days, Nov. 4th to 9th, in - elusive, was suggested, and the district forester added: "We would favorably receive a re- commendation from Welling- ton, Halton and Perth for an open deer season in 1963." A resolution from Grey Coun- tyasking restoration of the $3 premium on Grade A hogs was disregarded, as the premium is to be restored from April 1.

Phone 24 or 249 — HENSALL Suggest Tax Increase Unless Costs Reduced Huron county tax levy will be 15 mills next year, if a high level of road and bridge con- struction is to be maintained, and even with this increase of one mill "it will take careful planning and financing to com- plete all the programs neces- sary," council was advised by Clerk -treasurer John G. Berry in his report at the March ses- sion. The rate is held at 14 mills this year only by drawing up- on surplus funds in the amount of $110,000, and "we must stabilize our program from this date on," the treasurer said. "Originally our mill rate was seven mills for general purpos- es and seven for highways. We altered this ratio in order that the highways would receive eight mills to step up the pro- gram, and at the same time the general rate was cut back to six mills plus the surpljs funds we have been able to accumu- late. This cannot carry on in- definitely." Including the transfer from surplus, council budgeted for revenue of $2,224,334, a record total, of which $899,944 will be raised by county rates and an estimated $1,164,790 through provincial grants. Estimated ex- penditure of $2,207,435 includes $1,665,300 for roads. "We are spending half a mil- lion more than we have ever spent in the county before," County Engineer, James Brit- nell reported, "and if the road from Brussels north is approv- ed we will spend $2,000,000." Two development roads are in the budget, $80,000 at Sea - forth and $347,000 from Sea - forth to Walton, cost of both being paid by the Ontario De- partment of Highways. Work on the road within Seaforth will be carried out by the county, the other by contract to be awarded as early as possible in this year. The road committee's report mentioned that the members had visited Hon. C. S. Mac - MASS PRODUCTION PIONEERING James Watt invented the first standardized interchange - 'able machine parts in the sec- ond half of the 18th century, The earliest machine tools date from aboPit 1780. By 1850, machine tools capable of con- siderable accuracy were in gen- eral use in England and the U.S.A. The first quantity pro- duction of interchangeable parts is credited to Eli Whitney, in the arms factory he establish- ed at New Haven, Conn., in 1798. intimated that the invitation list for the annual warden's banquet has become unwieldy, and the warden's and person- nel committee reported Thurs- day that it has "deleted several names, and in total reduced the number of potential invitations by 72. The number to be in- vited now stands at 240, plus the current warden's council and friends. We, recommend that in future one member of Parliament only be• asked to speak on behalf of both federal and provincial Houses, and that this member be a head table guest." The same committee recom- mended that the Ontario muni- cipal employees' retirement system become effective July 1, 1963. This will mean severing the present plan with the Mutual Life and taking out paid- up annuity policies for all em- ployees who have been contri- buting to Mutual Life. The county library co-opera- tive board comprised, up to four or five years ago, three coun- ty councillors and three other Huron citizens' elected at the annual meeting for three-year terms. This provided continu- ity. A few years ago the elect- ed members were dropped, but evidently the library board con- stitution has only now been amended. The council's com- mittee, of which Reeve Morgan Agnew, of Clinton, is chair- man, reported Thursday that the constitution had been "duly amended to bring it into line without present policy." The board of management is to con- sist "only of members of coun- ty council," and the clerk -treas- urer and deputy treasurer of the county are to be secretary and treasurer, respectively, of the board. A recent announcement at Toronto about jail appointments has been clarified by a visit .of the county clerk to Hon. Irwin Haskett, Minister of Reform In- stitutions. The property com- mittee, of which Reeve Ivan Haskins, of Howick, is chair- man, Row reports that the coun- ty has the right to engage all employees for the jail, but that the governor's appointment is subject to approval by the de- partment. T h e department would also like to have all ap- plications submitted to Toronto for consideration, particularly the medical reports. "As the department is going to pay a 10 per cent subsidy on all operating costs at our jail, we would recommend," stated the committee, "that we co-operate with the officials in Toronto to follow the procedure as they have outlined it, that is, engaging all employees sub. ject to approval by the Depart- ment of Reform Institutions." Naughton, highways minister, Feb. 11, and requested that he consider providing funds to carry out complete construc- tion, with exception of paving, on Huron Development Road PE -669 in 1963. -,The commit- tee also requested designation of County Road 4 as a develop- ment road from Crediton to Highway 81, a distance of 10.25 miles. The one first mentioned is from Walton through Brus- sels to Highway 86. As to the Crediton -to -Grand Bend road, Chairman Dan Beuerman read a letter in which the minister stated: "I rwish you to know that every effort will be made to accelerate the schedule. The request for designation of the Crediton road has been listed and will be favorably consider- ed when the development road schedule is farther along to completion."

Due to the severe winter and possibility of a late spring thaw, it may be necessary to enforce the half -load restrictions be- yond April 30- to May 15. A by-law has been prepared, but will not go into effect unless warranted. Mr. Britnell mentioned again the plan to replace cold mix pavements or hot mix with a pore economical driving sur- face of a prime and a double surface treatment, the cost be- ing less than half that of cold mix and one-third that of hot mix paving. Asked by Reeve Glenn Fisher, of Exeter, for more details, he said, the cost was $3,500 to $4,000 a mile. "It is a liquid asphalt primer and dust layer only, and then two more layers of asphalt with chips over each; three ,in- dividual applications of liquid asphalt, first covered with sand and then stone chips and roll- ed and then another layer of stone chips. Of course, you must have a proper base. We have two pits from which these chips are obtainable—Seaforth and Whitechurch. "It is a waterproof, dust -free driving surface, maintenance of which we are hoping will be low. There is a trial section of a mile and a quarter north of Brussels. I am a little doubtful about snowplowing effects on it." Report of the agriculture and reforestation committee, as it is now called, told of a delega- tion to the annual meeting of the Plowmen's Association in Toronto, with a view to gather- ing information about the in- ternational match. "There is quite a lot of in formation to be gathered yet," Said Reeve J. R. Adair, Wing - ham, chairman. "We will be able to bring in a better report in June." Look To Match Meantime, the warden's and personnel committee has re- commended that all members of the agricultural committee attend plowing matches from 1963 to 1966, inclusive, to seek information which may be use- ful. Clerk -treasurer Berry's re- port had a reference also: "In the future, not too far distant, will be our 1966 Inter- national Plowing Match, and in 1967 we shall celebrate the Centennial of the Dominion. What plans we should be mak- ing for both these events are matters for discussion by com- mittees. We do not want to be, extravagant in expenditures on either, but on the other hand we must realize that the name of Huron County is being brought to the forefront by the international match and we want to live up to our good name."
