The reeve alqo mentioned the new road which has been built between Dunlop and Blyth, explaining that although the county had done the work on this project, all the costs were assumed by the Depart- ment of Highways. "The only expense as far as the county was concerned was the cost of the extra laxed needed, an the new fences," he added.

Coleman Mr. Talbot also mentioned ,the grader accident last winter, and added' that it was an un- fortunate incident but it was a good thing the oiler ,.tor was not hurt. He also explained that the grader and all other township equipment is insured under a full replacement pol- icy, that covered the complete cost of the new grader. Mel Grahamtold the meet- ing that he would like to see more interest shown in zrnuni- eipai :attains, by the ratepayers in Ache township. Be reported that 9,000 yards of gravel had been spread on the roads in the township, $4,000 had been spent on calcium, and $1,300 on weed cutting, Elmer Hayter spoke on the completion of the new bridge on Erratt's sideroad, and ex- plained how the road had been rebuilt, "Cost of the new bridge was $4,000, of which the gov- ernment pays 8q percent," Mr, Hayter advised the meeting. members of the Clinton District Collegiate Institute board, George Clifton, township representative, and Bob Peck, county representative, each spoke. A guest at the meeting was George' Falconer, Tucker - smith Township, and he ex- plained same of the operation of the board to the ratepayers of Stanley, Mr. ,Falconer concluded his remarks iby expressing the opinion that high school board members should be better paid. "At the present time," he went on to say, "a board, member gets $5 per meeting, for a max- imum of 12 meetings in one year. Quite often we have to attend as many as 30 meetings in a year." He ad'd'ed that he felt the board members should be paid as much as the town- ship councillors are.

H. Oakes, Everett U. Mcllwain and Jack C, yeo, School Area Board Trustees are Rdbert Welsh, D. Blacker and d W William Norman. William an Reeve Melvin Crich welcom- ed the township men to the town hall, on behalf of the town ofClinton. Reeve Forbes (named by E. Grigg And L. Bond) noted that Nelson W. Trewarthe, a form- er reeve and warden, was miss- ing from the meeting for the first time in many yeaxrs, 'and expressed wishes for a speedy recovery for this honoured of- ficial, Mr. Forbes spoke of Huron-. view, now able to accommodate 204 patients, with 139 now in residences. There are 63 people over 80 years of age, and 14 over 90 years, now in resi- dence at the home. There have been 44 admissions this year. Mr. Forbes noted that final settlement had been received for the airport, and that wlth nine employees, extended air- strips and instruction available, the establishment was a credit to 'the county. He reported that the County Hoare committee favoured sell- ing the farm, since it no long- er tied in with the operation of the Home; there are no pro- vincial subsidies paid on county farms any more; machinery is becoming worn; they did not believe the county should be in competition with !farmers, The reeve reported that "they claim the county build- ing is too small," so the plan is for a new building on Bri- tannia Road, to supply offices. When district representatives of county secondary school dis- tricts gave their report at County Council Gerry Ginn made "quite a hit for himself, with a wonderful report on the work of 'the Advisory Voca- tional Committee of the CDCI board. Neither Clifford Lobb, nor Robert Peck, the county's representatives on the CDCs board attended." Chairman George Gimi ask- ed if we're really getting $100,- 000 worth ,of good from the county health unit. There seems ,to :be. a lot of 'overlap- ping, There are seven different inspectors visit one meat plant in this count34. I don't believe it is necessary. I bucked this health unit when I was in council," went an Mr. Ginn, "but it was set up, and in such a case it seems that no matter how much kicking is done, you only wear out the toe of your boot," Deputy Reeve G. Stirling, (named by R. J. Semple and W. J. Stirling) reported on work of the agricultural com- mittee of the county, noting a number of cases of rabies, more than ever before, and the county hope for payment for losses for fawners. He •talked of reforestation plots, and test plots for beans set up at Bay- field to learn more of the Mexican bean beetle. Mil. 'Stirling told of work on roads noting that a traffic count on the Bayfield Road (Clinton to Bayfield) showed an average of 600 a day, while on the Cut Line, traffic was less than half of that. Re noted that $20,000had been spent on Forester's Bridge aver the Maitland River and next year a new bridge would be built to take the turn: out of the road leading to Forester's Commenting on the new plumbing inspection plan, Mr. Stirling said the county sup- ported the idea of this, because otherwise each township would have had to set up an , inspec- tion plan. In the township Mr. Stirling was relief officer, and in 1961 there have been more on relief, arid cot have been the high- est in seven years. He touched on road work, saying that a new bridge was planned on the Union Sideroad, ,and another on Cone ion 6. 'Councillor R. H. Oakes (nam- ed by 3.

Control l3y*law was passed. This One was he- cause the Water Resources Cox unisslen felt the water level was too low for the use of app., tie tanks, Mr, 1Yt'oilwain .observed that money is available in the town- ship at few' percent interest for laying tile under the tile drainage by-law. He comment- ed: on the need for more school accommodation, and that "if the board wants four rooms, I don't see why eoncit should turn down the request." Councillor Jack yea (named by L. Bond and E, Grigg) also supported the idea of mullet - pal drains, and the new school. He noted that Clinton had won out in the fire protection agree, meat, and there was not much the 'township Gould do. Reeve Forbes returned for a second time, noting that the Ontario Hospital now under construction on Highway 21 south of Goderich was the first provincial institution to be built in Huron, and it was to' be in Goderieh Township. He pre- dicted a big change in the community along the highway. The Health Unit, reported Mr. Forbes, costs $95,700, with $42,000 :paid by the county. less than one dollar per person. He commended the organization for help with rabies, a disease he had been exposed to himself last year. "The Health Unit does a lot, perhaps not under- stood and recognized by many people." Mr. Forbes told of 'trouble getting mowing equipment to fit the township's 1949 model tnaetor, and this explained the lack of weed cutting this stun - mer. Robert Welsh (named by R. J. Semple and L. Bond) spoke in detail on the :decision to transport children to a central school at Holmesville, "So far," said Mr. Welsh, "students of Grades 6, 7 and 8 of SS 1 are transported, plus Grade 8 from SS ' 6. SS 10 stud'emts are ell taken to Hobnesviile. ".Back in 1958," went on Mr. Welsh, "the inspector's projec- ted • enrolment for the school area was 224 by 1963. This year there are 243. In other words we have 20 more pupils than we expected to have two years from now, Times are ch- anging; only seven percent of Ontario pupils are educated in one -room schools; now. Old ways must be set aside." Council has given approval af..debentures for $80,000 for _a four room 'addition, and Mr, Welsh predicted that it would probably not take that much. There was some discussion of having .all pupils transported. particularly the junior grades at SS 1 which vnill be expected to walk 'to that school. Some difficulties were pointed out, including the fact that pupils at Holmesvi]ile school section, walk to school. Neither D. Blacker (named by E. Mcliwaan and F. Yeo) nor W, Norman (named by E. Grigg and L. Bond) were pres- ent.
