In mid July a tennis tournament for doiibles is planned. Mr. Buist emphasizes that the recreation committee is open to any new ideas or suggestions that people may have. "We're always open to suggestions on new programs or changes, especially now that we have summer staff available," he' said. The recreation budget- fOr 1976 is little changed from last year's budget. On the surface it appears that the recreation committee will be spending about $6,000 'more than last year, but the increased net total budget is due largely te,,a change in the bookkeeping . methods. . ' A surf' of $1,500 will be charged to the recreation 'committee far the services of the Clerk's, secret- ary for the work she does for the recreation committee. This will enable the town to receive $500 from the government'in increased grants, but does not add a cost tO the town as the money was paid previously from another account.

Several programs that were run by the recreation committee have been _dropped 'as they are now offered at night school at the High School. "The recreation committee should only be picking up program's others can't run them- selves," said Mr. Buist. "We should only -build up programs until others take them over. Then we are free to start up, new programs for the town." The budget allots slightly over $5,000 for program instruction costs. Holiday Happenings received $600, poWer skating $300, yoga $300, ringette $100, and tennis ,$100: The children's, arts and 'crafts program which was offered last year is being dropped due to lack of interest. , Thelotal projected expenditure for 1976 amounts to $29,639.

"This is laid down in the, Act," said Hanly. Deputy-reeve Bill .Morley of Usborne Township said it appears that "somebody is, going to have to fi ght for his seat and that's why these complaints are coming in". "The old way they possibly wouldn't," continued Deputy- Reeve Morley. 'I don't believe that," said Reeve John Jewitt of Hulled-. "I think it is a genuine concern. This report is based on assessment, not population at.all. It is just out of line. I wonder why they've chosen taht method." "We should be looking beyond our township boundaries," stated Reeve Jewitt. "It would be an awful headache but it might be worth the effort." Reeve Simon Hallahan agreed. The East Wawanosh reeve said he was sastisfied to see his municipality together with Blyth and Morris Township, 'but* suggested that school board members might be elected according to districts, rather than boundaries. Deputy-reeve Jim Mair of Morris said he could understand some of the dissastisfaction. He said Brussels, Morris. and Qrey had always been "a sort of community". "But the new way may Suit as many of them as the old way," he said. The, entire matter was referred back to Committee with a decision to be reached at the June session of county council. ;Taylor ,honoure0 at party Correspondent Mrs. Bill Chessell We are very sorry to hear that Rev.

Other changes in that corner of the County would put • East Wawanosh, Blyth and Morris together; Brussels and Grey together; and Wingham, Turtiberry and Howick together. It is this total area which is in dispute in as far as the proposed boundary changes are concerned, The Huron County Board of Education favored the retention of the existing Electoral Districts for public school purposes, with the Brussels, Grey, Morris area representation being cut by one. A delegation from the board proposed Seaforth and McKillOp as a district with one representa- tive; Hullett, Blyth and East Wawanosh as a district with one representative; , and Brussels, Morris and Grey as a district with one representative. • This latter suggestion was supported by Blyth Reeve. Robbie Lawrie who said he •liked the ida idea of Blyth being at the centre of'thitigs for a change. "We've been en the outside corner for too long," said Reeve Lawrie. Reeve Bill Elston of Morris Township said the executive committee had tried to do away with. as many two-member areas as possible. Under • the new propoSal, only three districts - the town of • Goderich; Wingliam, Turnberry andHowick; and Stephen, Exeter and Usborne - would elect two members.
