The Municipal Beard indicated
that the request should come
from council, not from the Pifc.
Mayor Dinsmore explained that
funds were found to be avail-
able. and with temporary bor-
rowing the commission felt that
the work could be taken care of
without being committed to
long-term debentures.
In other correspondeile, the

cated that approval had been

way maintenance bylaw provid-
ing for additional work of

May Remove Tower
Possibility that repairs to the
i town building will involve re -
mo al of the bell tower and
the third storey was seen as
council considered an estimate
received from Allstate Wreck-
ing & Salvage Co., of Paris, in
an amount of $8,986.00. The
estimate followed discussions
council had had with the com-
pany some months ago as to the
costs in-.o1%ed in repairing the
tower which recent investiga-
tion., had indicated had deteri-
orated to a degree that necessi-
tated immediate work being
dune on it.
The estimate, which included
a new flat roof and necessary
rebuilding. was considered rea-
sonable. The general govern-
ment and finance committees
are to investigate and report;
The police report, presented
by Councillor William Wilbee,
showed that a total‘of 25 charg-
es had been laid in August,
and 45 parking tickets issued.
There had been 114 occurrenc-
es recorded.
Reporting for the finance
committee, Councillor Angus -
MacLean said the budget was
underspent $774.00 at the end
of August. Tax arrears amount-
ed to $21,866.53, while $82-
546.17, or more than half, had
been paid on current taxes. The
second payment is due in Octo-
ber. .
Council is taking no further
action concerning relocation of
Huron Canadian Fabricators un-
less definite proposals are ad-
vanced. Reporting for the In-
dustrial Committee, Councillor
MacLean said several meetings
had been held with interested
groups, but that on each occa-
sion it was found 'that changes
occurred in the proposals and
in the amounts involved.
He referred to an informal
council meeting when the mat-
ter had been discussed, and
said following the meeting one
of the partners.had called him
to see what had been done, and
he told him he might as well go
ahead with the buildings Mr,
MacLean said he sympathized
with those who were involved,
hut was concerned what more
could he done. In any event,
consideration should only he
given on the basis of the en.
tire building, since only in this
way could the town's interests
he protected, Other members
concurred.
Reviewing August w o r k,
Councillor C. Dalton, public
works chairman, and street fore-
man H. Maloney, said work had
included curbing, weeds, patch-
ing and drainage. In addition,
much time was spent in connec-
tion with road construction pro-
gram.
Council approved the sale of
a pump and tank to Ed. Boyce
for $350.00. Council was told
Mr. Boyce intended to provide
a local cesspool cleaning serv-
ice. .
The committee was instruct-
ed to obtain information regard-
ing trees, so that new trees
could he planted on Goderich
and Main Streets as soon as
work was completed.
The old man was in his last
illness and there seemed no
point in keeping the truth about
his condition from him any lon-
ger.
"You're a very sick man,"
the doctor told him. "I'm sure
you would want to know the
facts. Now, is there anyone you
would like to see?"
Feebly the patient nodded his
head. "Yes," he said almost in-
audibly, "I'd like to see an-
other doctor."

Huron Council
Will Consider
Home Service
Huron county council will.
take another look at a proposal
for homemaker service when it
meets Sept. 30. Homemaker
service has been the subject of
a study by a committee of the
Children's Aid Society, of which
Mrs. Kenneth Johns, RR 1,
Woodham, was chairman, and
of which Miss V. Adair, of Hu-
ron Health Unit, was a mem-
ber. It had been planned earl-
ier to have Miss Dorothy Moore,
supervisor of homemaker serv-
ice in the Ontario Department
of Public Welfare, address coun-
cil, but she was not available,
She will explain the plan at
the coming session.
Under the Homemakers' and
Nurses' Service Act, effec-
tive in 1958, the province shares
with municipalities the cost of
providing essential home care
services to families and indi-
viduals in, the home. Families
are assisted to remain together
during a period of need or em
ergency. Elderly and handicap-
ped persons are enabled to con-
tinue to live in their own homes
even though requiring special-
ized care. This is considered a
workable alternative to hospi-
talization, foster homes, or in-
stitutional care.
The province shares with
municipalities 50 per cent of
the cost up to $2.50 per visit
for nursing services, and up to
$8.00 per day or $1.00 an hour
for a homemaker.
The committee looking into
it earlier this year suggested
that a start might be made in
Goderich and adjoining munici-
palities.
Also at the September ses-
sion, Curator J. H. Neill, of
Huron Pioneer Museum, is to
he presented with a certificate
of life membership in the mus-
eum section of the Ontario His-
torical Society. The executive
of the society, meeting in Lon-
don recently, approved this re-
cognition of Mr. Neill's excep-
tional service during 27 years.
He is the first honorary mem-
ber of the section. The presen-
tation will be made by Andrew
W. Taylor, president of the sec-
tion, County Clerk•TreasurerBer-
ry has been advised.
WHEN POPOCATEPETL
POPPED ITS TOP
Mexico City is only about 40
miles from the volcano known
as "Smoking Mountain", or
Popocatepetl in its original
Aztec Indian. Though constant-
ly ejecting smoke and ashes,
Popocatepetl has not erupted
since 1540. The mountain
stands 17,887 feet high, consid-
erably more than Mont Blanc.
WOODCHUCKS FIND HUMANS
USEFUL
The woodchuck, or ground-
hog,' is a heavy, broad -headed,
grizzled animal of the woods
and fields and is found through-
out Eastern Canada. The re-
placement of wilderness by
farmland has been a boon to
the woodchuck. Meadows and
gardens supply it with more
and better food than Nature
unaided does, while the consid-
erate human race also thins out
such groundhog persecutors as
wildcats, foxes, weasels, snakes
and birds of prey.
VISITORS FROM SCOTLAND I
RECALLS CROMARTY HOSPITALITY
Otto Walker of Cromarty re-
cently received a copy of the
Ross -Shire Journal, published
at Dingwall, Scotland, which
contained the following story:
The following interesting
notes come from Mrs. Thomas
N. Grimster, Cromarty House,
Chippewa, Ontario, Canada, and
shows the intimate connections
with the Homeland which are
preserved in many Canadian
place-names. Mrs. Grimster,
who was born in the old Black
Isle burgh of Hugh Miller fame,
is a daughter of the late Mr.
and Mrs. J. A. Macrae, 5 puke
Street, who, emigrated about 40
years ago. /Her father served
on the oQ ;'Saga," which plied
for many years between Crom-
arty and Invergordon.
Mrs. Grimster writes as fol-
lows: "It was such a thrill for
me to be driving to Cromarty,
Ontario, Canada. After 40 years
I was going to find out, if pos-
sible, who were the first set-
tlers there. I might even know
someone related to them who
resided in Cromarty, Scotland.
However, the real story was
quite different from what I ex-
pected. i
"We (my husband and I) went
into the General Store at Cro-
marty, where the storekeeper
was also the postmaster. Above
the stamp window was a picture
postcard of Cromarty, Scotland,
looking along High Street, and
showing Bain, the drapers shop,
which had been sent to him by
Catriona Gillies. I told him I
knew Catriona and her father
and mother.
"This gentleman and his wife
(whose names were Mr. and
Mrs. Otto Walker) were most
gracious, and while they did
not know the origin of the
name, directed us back to the
town of Seaforth, about 12 miles
away, which we had already
passed, to see a Miss Isabel
Campbell there. Miss Campbell,
who is an authoress and a col-
lector of data pertaining to the
early settlers of this particular
section of Ontario, received us
most graciously and was most
co-operative. She got out her
writings which had been print-
ed in book form, and this is the
information she gave us:
"A man called John Ferguson
from somewhere in Perth, Scot-
land, settled in what was later
to be called Cromarty, with his
wife and a daughter called El-
len. He cleared a homestead
for himself and family in 1853,
and wrote to the powers -that -
be in Toronto, staking his
cleim, and asked that the set-
tlement be called Ellenville, af-
ter his daughter. He received a
reply to the effect that there
were so many places being nam-
ed after persons' and ending id
'Ville' that later it would cause
confusion, and asking him to
give it another name. When a
young men, he, had read many
of the writings of Hugh Miller,
and they had such an influence
on his life that he named his
place 'Cromarty' in honor of the
birthplace of Hugh Miller. We
left after thanking Miss Camp-
bell and her mother, a lady of
o. er 90 years. We drove Mr.
Walker back to Cromarty and
ins ited him and his wife to visit
us in Chippawa. We hope they
will soon come and see us. We
are only three miles from Nia-
gara Falls, Ontario, and could
show them many interesting
places, as a small token of our
appreciation for their kindness.,
We drove on to Chatham to
visit the Tullochs (also of Cro-
marty) who were interested to
hear our story."
'TEST A SECOND'
"Can't your mother- see
she's spoiling him?"
WE START SLOWING DOWN
IN INFANCY
In infancy, the pulse is most
rapid, making 110 to 140 beats
a minute. Early childhood finds
it down between 100 and 110.
By youth, it is puttering along
at 80 to 90. Maturity finds the
pulse jogging away at about 75
beats a minute, while in old
age it sinks to about 60. Wo-
men have a faster, softer and
smaller pulse than then. Violent
passions make It rapid and ir-
regular, joy—quick and strong;
long grief—languid and soft,
