Britnell's annual
skuistics
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
Every year about this time,
Huron County engineer James
Britnell presents members of
county council with a set of
statistics covering snowfall in
Huron County.
Over a period of 30 years, the
average snowfall in Huron
County has been 83 inches per
winter. Last year, 105 inches of
the fluffy white stuff fell in this
area but luckily, pointed out
Britnell, there were few winds to
whip them around.
Thus far this winter, Britnell
told council, there has been 78
inches. That's more than double
the amount of snow which
normally falls in the same period
according to the 30 year
averages.
This year as well, Britnell had
another set of figures to tickle
the fancy of county residents.
The county engineer was trying
to show that there is just no
possible way that the county
winter road condition should be
compared to those highways
maintained in winter by
department of highway crews.
Britnell reported that it costs
the county about $450 per mile
for maintenance while the
department of highways spends
about $2,000 per mile. DHO has
three times as many snowplows
and four times as many sanders
as the county road department,
continued Britnell.
"There simply is no
comparison," concluded
Britnell.

Dr. G. P. A. Evans MOH made
his last appearance before Huron
County Council Wednesday
morning on the last day of the
January session. He brought
forth a preliminary sketch of the
Board of Health's budget for the
coming year before moving on
to his . new post in
Kitchener.Waterloo.
If county council would
adopt the full program suggested
by the board of health, it could
increase the health budget by
about $26,789,
Dr. Evans said the board of
health is proposing expansion of
the dental program in Huron;
expansion in the community
geriatric program; expansion of
the alcohol and drug addiction
service; an,Vexpansion of the
environmental hygiene program.
Although Dr. Evans kept his
remarks very brief, he did
elaborate a little at the invitation
of several county councillors.
A full dental program as
proposed, said the Medical
Officer of Health, would include
the services of a full-time dental
hygienist and a part-time (about
25 percent) public health
dentist.
"The brush-in program is just
the beginning of the
development of a complete
dental health program in the
County of Huron," said Dr.
Evans.
In the matter of alcohol and
drug addiction, the doctor said a
public health nurse - social
worker would work exclusively
on the program in close
co-operation with family
doctors, Goderich Psychiatric
Hospital and the members of the
Huron County Health Unit.
Dr. Evans said this person
would also be involved in the
matter of education concerning
addiction. He said people must
know the "futility of getting on
this treadmill."
