Huronview Fuli; ApplicationsAre Problem There is not one empty bed in the bed -care section for fe- male inmates at Huronview, and "we hardly know what to do with applicants/', Superin- tendent H. C. Johnston told county council in speaking to the report of the board, of which Reeve Clifford Dunbar, of Grey, is chairman. There are 193 residents at the home -116 female—and 69 of the females are bed -care in- mates. Since the first of the year there have been 34 admis- sions and 21 deaths, also six discharges, three of these to the Ontario Hospital. The staff is increasing, and including superintendent and doctor, now numbers 80. The per diem rate for 1963 has been set at $3.57, but to facilitate accounting procedures the rate has been set at $110 per month. This is a reduction of $5.00 from the 1962 rate, and Mr. Johnston remarked: "It may be a surprise to most people to hear of anything coming down."

Gode- rich, the superintendent said there were 10 or 121 inmates over 90 years of age, and two women who would be 100 or 101 next birthday. Mr. Johnston Is somewhat disturbed about the number of Sunday visitors who stay after the reguar time of 4:30, inter- fering with serving of meals to bed -care inmate$, and asked councfilors to pass the word along. It is planned to encourage residents to become a little more active and have some in- terest either in hobbies or oth- er means of recreation. Mr. Dunbar said a young woman had been sent for special train- ing in physical therapy. "Our doctor (Dr. J. C. Ross), who is dedicated to the old peo- ple, and rendering invaluable service, is quite in sympathy with this," he said. "I think we all agree it is a good thing. We are trying to put up a tern- porary—and possibly perman- ent—umbrella type of shade out- side, with table and bench." The matter of a Homemakers Service, under consideration for almost two years by the Chil- dren's Aid- Society, was discuss- ed by the wardens and person- nel committee at a recent meet- ing. "It was suggested," stated the report by Chairman Alvin D. Smith, reeve of Turnberry, "that this service would com- mence in one centre in the county and be evaluated from this point, and if satisfactory we would enlarge the service at a later date. "If a town were to form a service of this kind, it could be a pilot project," said Mr. Smith, "and we could evaluate it in the interests of a county setup." The committee did not con- cur in a proposed salary range of $4,100 to $5,000 for Class III social workers of the Children's Aid. "The, county has very little to do with the Children's Aid,'' said the chairman, "and though we spend considerable money we have very little . control. Maybe the people who pay the piper should call the tune a little more. County council should have a bigger represen- tation on the board. Some counties have equal representa- tion on the board with the Children's Aid. However, that is for this council to decide; "Cost of government is in- creasing so rapidly it seems somebody has to hold the line. Some of the money raised in the townships is money we are spending here, and we should be as careful as at home." Forestry Officer Reports Larry Scales, forestry officer, reported 137,700 trees planted this spring at a township cost of $1,168 and total cost of $2,- 336. With cost of nursery stock and transportation included, but deducting provincial grant, the net cost of planting was $1,870. In Turnberry there were 36,- 000 trees planted; in Colborne, 25,000; Goderich Township, 24,- 000, and smaller numbers else- where. Owners in the county reforestation scheme are J. C. Hind"marsh, M. K. Mote and S. J. V. Cann in Goderich Town- ship; Hill Bros. and Palmer A. Kilpatrick, in Colborne; Better Feeds, Isaac Metcalfe, T. A. Currie and Roy Adair, in Turn - berry. At the Dunlop tomb, 500 white pine were planted and 100 broadleaf trees which were in possession of the county. In replay to an enquiry about the long-awaited county history, Clerk Berry reported: "It is pretty near complete for typing a first time. Mr. Scott has been dictating it on the dictaphone and' it is being transcribed. I think he has a bit of the town of Exeter to do, and sofe fin- ishing off he has not complet- ed. Meantime, the typing of the second round, for the pub- lisher, is under way. I believe some four or five hundred pag- es have been proofread by Dr. Talman, at the University, cor- rections made and returned to Prof. Scott, and now being re- typed. The first chapter is done and the second under way, and we are beginning to make some progress. I still don't think it will be finished this year, but by fall we should be in negotia- For Complete INSURANCE on your HOME, BUSINESS, FARM, CAR, ACCIDENT, LIABILITY OR LIFE SEE JOHN A.

Report of the property com- mittee, of which Reeye Ivan Haskins, Howick, is chairman, contained a new schedule of rental charges for courthouse space, running from $1.50 per square foot in the basement to $2.00 on the main floor. The county library, Children's Aid, Health Unit and school inspec- tors will. pay $8,-197.50, instead of $5,100, effective July 1. The committee thanked Cura- tor H. J. Neill for his work at the Museum. "We have the very best help this year," Mr. Neill told coun- cil, "and everything clean and in shape to present to the pub- lic. Admissions this year to date total 2,093. We have had nine school buses, and 31 are booked for June, likely to be' 50. "We are installing new show- cases, and you may think it a lot of glass, but gtherwise we are continually fixing things up and putting them back, that are open to the public." Mr. Neill suggested that when the International Plowing Match is held, a tent 25 or 35 by 50 feet be set up to contain small exhibits from the museum. A proposal from Halton Coun- ty that the provincial and fed eral governments be requested to make it mandatory that own. ers of domestic animals should have them inoculated against rabies, either or both govern• ments assuming the cost of vaccine, was not concurred in by the agriculture committee. "Too hard to enforce," said Chairman Adair. Council took no action on ap- pointment of a construction en- gineer, as required by the neww, Construction Act. Ex -warden Hugh Hill, iGode- rich, ,just visiting, was called upon and addressed council from outside the rail. "In our time," he said, "we looked forward to a time when problems would become fewer, but with the age of progress the problems with which you are confronted, and I believe in other, counties, are becoming greater 'and harder to solve. Our financial situation is be- coming a burden in taxation. It is pretty hard for even our smarter economists to estimate what the outcome is going to be. I am sure we are looking forward to the time when the. public will realize the impor- tance of a policy of paying as you go. •I believe that is . one of the foremost thoughts you people have in your minds." OPP Releases - Area Statistics - Six persons were killed in highway traffic accidents in On- tario Provincial Police No. 6 District during April, according to statistics released by the OPP.

UXVaOA,r HURON -COUNTY COUNCIL IS TOLD Because the older paved roads in the county did not come through the winter in flood condition, and many miles are badly in need of mix patching, the long-range priority program in regard to construction has had to be revised, county coun- cil was told in the report of its road committee, of which Reeve Dan Beuerman, of Mc- Killop, is chairman. In this connection, . it is hoped to have county road 4 (Crediton to High- way 81) designated by the pro- vince as a development road, and so it has been set down to eighth place on the program. This is a 10 -mile stretch with an annual daily traffic count of 1,200—heaviest among the pro- jects listed. County road 6, Highway 4 to Winchelsea, five miles, is scheduled for construction this year. It has been full of pot- holes. For next year it is plan- ned to do the eight miles of County road 16, Brussels west to Highway 4. Two projects are listed for 1965: County road 13 from Clinton west, 5.5 miles, and the three miles from Nile to Dungannon, county road 27. Preliminary work has been done on the latter. Dungan- non-Lucknow is set for ,1966, but the Base Line between Summerhill and Auburn, 6.5 miles, and three other projects are subject to later review. "High mileage, low assess- ment and low mill rate just do not go together," County En- gineer James Britnell warned council in speaking to the re- port. "Some projects are go- ing to have to wait until more important roads are built and we can start upgrading the others." Mr. Britnell said there are no plans for reconstruction of Highway 21 -north of Goderich, though a great length is in need of it. . Reeve Glenn Webb, of Steph- en, expressed concern about delay of the Crediton project. "In the event that this de- velopment road does not come soon," he said, "with a traffic count' of 1,200 a' day there is going to be high maintenace cost. I hope it gets to be a department road, but if not I can see the county spending WIND • TORNADO •CYCLONE Insurance R. F.

Parts of that road are in bad hape for the traffic is had to bear. Also, the road has been sur- veyed, and a number of farm- ers have been asking whether it is possible for them to drive down the steel stakes, so they can work over them. Engineer Britnell: "An ex- propriation bylaw will be sub- mitted to the September ses- sion, and the' steel posts will be in the new fence. Property will be purchased this fall. We have driven in 7 -foot fence posts beside the stakes. In my opin- ion, the Crediton road is one of the most important and has one of the highest maintenanc costs of any road in. our sys- tem. We have had damage claims from owners of cars hit- ting potholes." Reeve Tom Leiper, of Hui - lett, enquired about the condi- tion of roads on which prime and double surface treatment was given, as mentioned by Mr. Britnell in a previous report. "It did not live up to my expectations," said the engin- eer, "but there was no sign of failure during the winter and only a minimum amount patch- ing. The experiment will pay dividends, though some munici- palities are trying to do a $12,- 000 surface for $3,000 to $4,000 a mile. It is only a modified type of surface to suit the traf- fic, and we can expect to spend a lot on maintenance, and can afford to do so.
