ting ?r replacing them would see
an 80. percent grant from the gov-
ernment,
'Grant H, Stirling, a 1957 coun-
cillor, reported that as the town-
ship relief officer, he had come to
the conclusion that relief is "quite
a headache. With the Ontario
Government paying- 60 percent
grant, you do the dirty work--
and they'll tell you what to do--
but you can't see people starving,"
he said. Cost this year for relief
has 'been $285, and up until the
present there have been two fam-
ilies receivng relief. .Another has
been added to^the list just recent-
ly.
Referring to W. J. Forbes' sug-
gestion re by-law• re dumping of
rubbish on side roads, Mr. Stir-
ling claimed that when the" side
roads. were cleaned up, there
shouldn't be any problem. •
Mr. Stirling said there was a
need of fixing up the three rail-
way crossings in the township.
(Later in the meeting road super-
intendent Roy Tyndall reported
this should not prove to be too
costly as the Board of Transport
pays 60 percent,. the railway com-
pany 15 percent, leaving the town-
ship with only 25 percent of the
cost to pay.
Kenneth C. Merrier, also, a 1957
councillor, spoke very briefly. He'
said that relief in the township
"might be a problem," and that he
Robert Welsh who has been a
when it repurchased a second
grader.
Ray Cox, nominated for council,
spoke briefly and so did Howard
McCullough, named for the school
area board: R. Johnston, also
named for the school board was
not. present.
Robert-Welsh, of the schol area,
member of the school area board
the longest, said that all six
school in the, area have cap-
six schools in the area have cap-
able teachers, whose salaries are
in line with other municipalities
in the county. No. 10 school has
had some repair in a new wall un-
der the school, No. 1 has a new oil
furnace recently installed, all
schools have had playground' equip-
ment added.
In general, he reported that the
schools are on a par with others
in some parts of the province.
The assessment for the six schools
is $1,260,000. It was necessary, he
remarked toll-I:crease the mill, rate
for school purposes, from 7.2: up to
7.5, within the past couple of
yaers-due to the expense of mov-
ing surplus pupils from No. 10
school to the RCAF Station Clin-
school. A new furnace is 'needed
at No.-11 school, but it is the hope
of the board 'that this won't be
necessary this winter. "Hohnesville
school has: been greatly overcrowd-
ed-end it might have been a real
problem had it not 'been for the
good capable teacher we have
there," stated Mr, Welsh.
"The general trend in school
population," said ,the trustee, "is
an increase each year in' enrol-
ment. Very few trades or profes-
sions today are open to young peo-
ple who have. not a grade 10 edu-
cation at least. Not all the child-
ren that we are educating are go-
ing to return, to the farm," said Mr.
Welsh, "and even if they do it is
not' fair to suggest they do not
need a good education." He pre-
dicted that in the not too-far-off
future, specialized teachers will be
here to stay, that is that a teach-
er will specialize in either senior
or junior work. "Whether we like
it, or not, consolidated schools Are
going to' give our children a good
education„ We are going to have
to bring our classrooms together,"
he said,
A question from the floor re-
garding installing telephones in
the schools, brought the reply that
such a move would have its good
points-hut that it would not be
practical in the classroom.
Wilbert Harrison, the township's
representative on the Goderich
Hospital Board, reported that the
new addition contract was for
$423,800, and reviewed the financ-
ial situation in detail,
Neither Irvine Tebbutt, repre-
sentative from the township on the
Clinton and District Collegiate In-
stitute Board, nor Barrie Walters,
representative on the Goderich
District Collegiate Institute Board
were present to report.
On hand at the meeting was
Goderich Townshilft last warden,
Wilinot Haacke, who spoke briefly.
Greetings were "extended :from the
town of Clinton by its mayor Will-
iam. J. Miller; from the township
of Hullett, by P,eeve William Jeev-
itt; from the township of Stanley by Ileevo Harvey Coleman; from
the town of Exeter, by Aeeve Will-
iam McKenzie,

and Edward
Close to 75 people Friday after-
noon attended the nomination
meeting of the township of Goder-
ich held here in the council claim
her. Clinton's.Deputy-Reeve Nei-
son Trewartha, a, Goderich town-
ship taxpayer and former Town-
ship reeve, was chairman for the
ratepayers meeting which followed,
In his chairman's remarks, Mr,
Trewartha referred to the town-
ship's healthy financial status,
With a "very substantial surplus
on band. "Our township is grad-
ually cbanging,". said Mr, Trewar-
the
'
. "Just a few years ago we were all Anglo-Saxnn, Today, we have
a large number of New Canadians
-most of them from 'Holland.
They, are good, law-abiding citi-
zen's who believe in farming in a
large way." he said. He went on
to remark that of the outstanding
taxes owing in the township, he
has been informed by the tax col-
lector that none of them• are owed
by New Canadians.
John,Deeves,'who has just com-
pleted 'three years as reeve and his
tenth year on,the township council,
stated his intentions to be a can-
didate for the warden, if success-
ful in the run for reeve. He is"
being challenged by Clayton Bo
Laithwilte, who also has several
years of municipal experience and
wa sa councillor in 1957.
Deeves told the meeting that in
spite of the' mill rate having been
dropped by one mill, that the
township experienced a, surplus.
"Our council has done a good job
this year," he commented.
On County Council, he served on
four committees: Forestry, of
which lie:+was chairman.
'
legislat-
ive; agriculture; and the good
roads
Huron County has ten tracts of
land that are reforested with sev-
eral thousands of trees, said Deev-
es. A Goderich Township farmer,
Torn Rathwell, has been the recip-
ient of a tree-farm . certificate,
which are now being awarded t,)
tree-farmers 'who qualify.
Although the Legislative Coin-
mittee was not a busy one, Mr.
Deeves said that the Equalization
Committee had a busy year, He
referred to the court case in which
the county was successful when
the town of Goderich appealed its'
county assessment rate,
Goderich Township was success-
ful in getting four miles of the
nine miles of .hot mix laid this
year by the county. The fact a
hot mix plant is now located in
the county, makes the price of
such 'Work more reasonable, he
Said. He reviewed other ctiv-
ities of the county council men-
tioning that five or six miles of
grading had been completed; three
large bridges eontstruoted; three
large culverts built at a total cost
of $8,000; in two more years time
the county court house will be
paid, and that when it is the coun-
ty will be debt-free; the county
museum is a paying proposition--
but more Space will be needed
there in the spring; the Children's
Aid Society is doing a wonderful
job; the farm at the Huron Coun-
ty Home saw a profit this year;
there are now 98 residents at the
Home ,of whom 60' are paying
through the Old Age Pensions,
"Road expenditure in the county
has certainly increased, and it will
probably mean an increase in mill
rate, if people continue to demand
better roads," he warned, In eon-
clusiqn, Mr. Deeves told the rate-
payers that it had been 20 years
since the township has had a war-
den.
Clayton. B. Laithwaite, who is op-,
posing John Deeves for the reeve-
ship, revealed that work on the
Goderich Area Planning Board, of
which he has been a member re-
presenting the Goderich Township
Council, has been diffichlt and in-
tricate work. He reviewed the ac-
tivities of the 1957 council-par-
ticularly road work, He said that
the council purchased a new road
grader later for $6,100. "Trucks
qader, only to buy ,back the old
grader later for $6,100. "Trucks
do not seem to do a 'satisfactory
job of snow-plowing, and so with
the two graders, we sheuld be able
to give better service- but it tak-
es planning," he said, „adding that
he felt that a system was lacking in
general road work,
Mr. Lai.thwaite, recalling that it
was over 130 yaers since his fore-
fathers came to Canada, sentimen-
tally•aeked if any of the township
residents, ever thought it fitting
to build a township hall, as a mon-
ument to Goderich township fore-
fathers.
Walter J. Forbes, e'dPorting on
his work as a councillor this past
year strongly urged that a bylaw
be drawn up prohibiting the dump-
ing of cans, stones, etc., on town-
ship roads. Although the township
has a municipal dump, Mr. Forbes
said he felt there was the need of
a second one, He favoured the
purchase of the second grader-as
it would prove to be a more use-
ful piece of equipment than a
truck.
Stones and brush along the sides
of the township roads, made the
cutting of weeds a difficult job, he
remarked, adding that when the
roads are widened, he would sug-
gest that "We should clean up as
we go along-removing stones and
brush." When `the township mill
rate is lowered after the town-
ship's share to the addition to the
Goderich Hospital is paid', Forbes
suggested that this money be used
to fix roads and "do" bridges.
He felt that the township brid-
ges were very much outdated-and
that the actual cost of reconstruc-

Education The
Answer
"I have been concerned with the
salvage of alcoholics for 10 years,
and I have come to believe that
many alcoholics need never have
become addicted to anything
They had established the habit
with absolutely no knowledge of
the dangers involved,"
Dr. R. G, Bell, medical director
of the Bell Clinic in Willowdale for
alcohol and drug addicts, was
quoted recently in a Toronto pap-
er. He declared that adult alco-
holies in Ontario have increased
at a rate of 91 percent between
1946 and 1956, The statistical
risk of becoming an alcoholic is
greater today, he said, than the
risk of contracting diseases like
polio and cancer, Part of the re-
habilitation involves comprehen-
sive instruction on the effects of
alcohol,
As one part of his alcohol edu-
cation program Dr. Bell is spon-
soring a public course on alcohol
and drug addiction. Twenty lec-
tures._ .are being given, free of
charge, to physicians, nurses, soc-
ial workers, clergy, high school
teachers and others. The public
will be charged $25.00 for the en-
tire course.
