NEWS OF HENSALL Snow Queen Voting Ends SaturdayNight Plans for Santa's arrival here on Saturday, Dec. 2, are well advanced, according to commit- tee chairmen who have been holding weekly meetings to work out details for the event. Voting for the 1961 Snow Queen ends Saturday night. Ballots which have been depos- ited in Seaforth stores will be collected and counted by Al. McConney and his committee over the weekend. The winner of the Snow Queen title will be announced in next week's issue. Meantime, there is activity throughout the area as support- ers of the various candidates seek ballots to support their favorites. Pictures of the can- didates appear in this issue and additional copies of the official ballot may be found on Page 5. Work of building floats is well advanced, according to, float committee chairman Lee Learn. At least 28 units will take part in the parade, Mr. Learn said. The parade also will include seven bands, as well as dozens of colorfully costumed figures. Who Has a Christmas Tree? One difficulty that has arisen is in locating a suitable Christ- mas tree, to be erected in front of the Town Hall. Officials have checked dozens of trees, but have yet to find a suitable speciman. The committee is looking for a fir or spruce tree, 35 to 45 feet in height, and with well- proportioned branches. It is necessary that the tree be lo- cated so that it is accessible and can be trucked out without damage. "There must be dozens of suitable trees in the area," PUC Manager R. J. Boussey said. "If we can find one in the next few days, that gives us a chance to get it into town and dressed with lights before Santa comes." Anyone knowing of such a tree and willing to help is ask- ed to call Mr. Boussey or Willis Dundas, Lions Club Christmas activities chairman.

A plea for Ontario universi- ties to co-operate in a survey of the province's need in higher education was made by Dr. J. G. Hagey, president of the Uni- versity of Waterloo, who spoke to the annual conference of weekly newspapers association. Since 1955 the Ontario gov- ernment has given more new degree -granting charters than has the Iegislature of any other province, Dr. Hagey said. Many Ontario universities are located close enough to each other that there is a good pos- sibility that through co-opera- tive planning they could mini- mize duplication of course of- ferings. In the afternoon members of the organization heard a panel of Toronto typography experts discuss trends in designs as ft affects the weekly press. The meetings were held in build- ings on the campus of the Uni- versity of Waterloo. don. Mr. Bell shot two deer.

Predict Year- end Surplus As Huron Cou-nc-iI Possibility that Huron Coun- ty will show a $20,000 surplus on the year's operations was seen this week, 'as county coun- cillors met in Goderich for the final council session of the year. The information was contain - MOH Points to Hospital Crisis Attention of the County Coun- cil, which met in Goderich this week, was drawn to the crisis that exists in hospital accom- modation, when the report of Dr. R. M. Aldis, Medical Officer of Health, was present. Dr. Aldis referred to the re- cent report of the Health Unit where the problem had been discussed. "With the strong emphasis in the past few months on civ- ilian preparation for emergency measures, the hospitals should assume a still greater role in their communities. You have probably been told of the 'dis- aster plans' which pivot on co- operation between the hospi- tals and the public. In other words, if you create a strong hospital and related organiza- tion in your community, you have a two-step start in any civil emergency," Dr. Aldis said. "Council will be interested to learn that in the period Oct. 16, 1961, to the present, a to- tal of $503.50 has been collect- ed in plumbing fees. Co-opera- tion from the plumbing trade - and the public has been gen- erally good. "The by-law approving fees for inspection here was passed none too soon. On October 5 we were advised by the Deputy - Minister of Health for Ontario that beginning in 1962 there will be no Departmental sub- sidy for plumbing inspection." Rabies in Evidence A resurgence of animal rabies has been noted in the past six months, with an inci- dence approximately four times greater than the experience of the same period last year. Bovines account for the ma- jority of cases (8), followed by fox (3), sheep (2+), skunk (2), dog (1), wolf (1). Nineteen hu- mans, who were considered in danger from exposure to these cases, are undergoing or have completed the 14 -dose course of vaccinb. The unit has been unable to attract sufficient public health nurses to bring the staff up to base line requirements. This means that activities such as home nursing cannot be devel- oped at present, nor can school health services be expanded. Concern has been expressed ov- er inflating costs which curtail the purchasing power of our budget, both for personnel and basic supplies. It has been sug- gested that a uniform exemp- tion for health agencies from federal and provincial sales tax would be of some help in this dilemma, "An answer which has been found in other areas is the cen- tralization and amalgamation of the authority for health and social services. The proponents of this system claim that vital services are not compromised to local prejudices, and there is a continuity of qualified per- sonnel. On the other hand, these persons must admit that under this scheme there is a loss of personal relationships which heretofore occupied a traditional role in these ser- vices," Dr. Aldis concluded. ed in the report of Clerk- Treas-urer John G. Berry. Mr. Berry' said althd%gh the highway ac- count showed a deficit of slight- ly more than $78,000 for the period ending Sept. 30, the county should end the year with a balance. Highway expen- ditures during this period were slightly over $928.000. Investigate Addition Council gave unanimous ap- proval to a property committee report recommending the ap- pointment of an architect to investigate provision of addi- tional accommodation for coun- ty offices. Council already has an option on land, owned by the town of Goderich, at the corners of South, Britannia and Picton Streets. The price of the land is $7,500. In a recorded vote Monday, council unanimously favored building either a wing or new office, rather than renting of - Cars Collide In AccidentSeries 2 In Hospital Seaforth police investigated three accidents during the past week, one of which sent two people to hospital. Cpl. Sylvia Nowlan, of RCAF Station, Trenton, was driving west on Goderich Street, near the White Rose Station Friday evening, when the car skidded in newly -fallen snow and was in collision with an eastbound car, driven by Donald Carter. Mrs. Nowlan and her husband, Gordon, who was a passenger in the car, suffered head injur- ies, and were removed to Scott Memorial Hospital. In the Carter car were Shir- ley Bolger and Jean Bolger, of Walton, Clayton Connell,` -Ron- ald Williams and Dorothy Tay- lor. They escaped with minor bruises. Police said the cars were badly damaged. Constable A. Calder investigated. Rear -End Collisions When a car driven by Wil- liam George McSpadden was in collision with the rear of a car driven by Arnold Stinnissen, RR 5, Seaforth, damage of $200 resulted to the Stinnissen car. The accident, which occurred on Main Street Wednesday, was investigated by Constable A. Calder. A truck driven by John W. Siemon, RR 1, Walton, was in collision with the rear of a vehicle driven by J. R. Spittal, opposite the Lions Park early Saturday evening. Damage to the Spittal car amounted to $125, police said. Chief Con. stable Elmer Hutchinson invest- igated. Clerk in Collision A car, driven by Kenneth Reaney. 49, RR 3, Mitchell, clerk of Logan Township, and a truck driven by Rae E. South. Morpeth, were in collision late Monday morning about a mile north of Mitchell on Highway 2.5 The collision forced the truck onto the shoulder of the road, where it struck the anchor post for hydro lines. One of the lines came down on top of the Reaney car, and a hydro crew had to be called before the car could be moved. Con- stable Lloyd Weitzel, of the Sebringville detachment OPP, investigated.

Staff Increases The staff at Huronview, Hur- on County's home for the aged at Clinton, has increased from 36 in October, 1960, to 55 at the present time, Harvey John- ston, superintendent, told coun- ty council Tuesday. The increase in staff was caused, in part, by the new wing that was opened recently, he said. Costs have increased for a number of reasons, in- cluding the introduction of a five-day week at the home. There are more patients re- quiring bed care, too, he said. Of the 44 • residents admitted` since January, six are over 90 years; 22 are over 80; 10 are between 70 and 80; two are between 60 and 70, and four are under 60. There have been 39 admissions since the new wing opened. History Under Way The historic committee of the council recommended that the 1962 council set aside $10,000, part of which may be recover- ed through a Canada Council grant when a publisher has been secured for the history of Huron. The book has been un- der preparation by James R. Scott, of Seaforth, for some years. According to the historic committee report, submitted by Reeve Clifford Dunbar, of Grey, the history book is "in its final stages as far as manuscript work is concerned," and it is hoped the manuscript will be in the hands of two readers - Dr. Tallman, of the University of Western Ontario, and George Jefferson, of Clinton -as soon as possible. The committee has been ad- vised that it should make necessary preparations in 1962 for actual publication. No New Tracts Larry C. Scales, zone forester of Stratford, told council the 10 separate tracts of the Hur- on County forest, totalling 1,357 acres, were purchased from 1945 to 1951. He said since that time no new purchases have been made. Planting started in 1946 and since that time 1,378.110 trees have been planted. A total of 89,510 trees was planted this spring in Huron County forests and this past fall 180,000 trees were planted on Ausable Au- thority property in Hay and Stephen Townships.
