GODERICH — County coun
cillors warmly applauded an ex
hortation from Hugh Hill, one-
time reeve of Colborne, to resist
government encroachment upon
the jurisdiction of county coun
cils.
"I am hoping,” he said, “you
councillors and those who fol
low you, will get your backs up
and. defy the people who say
you 'Cannot have county govern
ment.
“I am one of the old school,”-
he said, “and I do not like to
see local government struck off,
as it looks as if they were going
to be, by the powers that be in
Toronto.
“I can visualize, with the
trend there is today, the pro
vince dictating so much policy
to township governments, they
will have little or nothing to
say about expenditures. The
same applies to much of the
expenditure in county govern
ment.
“They seem to be afraid that
the people who govern the
county and municipalities, if
given a free hand to do their
own business, are not capable.
“My opinion is that not. all
the brains are represented in
the Legislature 'and House of
Commons, by any means, and'
I thliink sooner or later county
councils have got to- stand up
as a body,' throughout the pro
vince, and talk back to the
powers that be before county
government gets' cut off.
"I think this august body can
govern Huron without any un
due injury to individual munici
palities.” ■ 1
Huron council several' years
ago swept under the rug the
practice of electing wardens al
ternately of Liberal and Con
servative politics. Mr. Hill lift
ed1 a corner to congratulate
Reeve Kenneth Stewart of Mc-
Killop, 1966 warden, upon his
ability to corral votes;
“If that is a criterion of what
lies lahiead1,” he said, “we who
have been called Reformers,
Grits and Liberals mlilght well
be turning our eyes1 toward
you.”
Of Health And Universities
County Council last week ac
cepted the tender of Monteith-
McGrath Limited, Waterloo, for
a $737,423 addition to Huron-
view.
Next lowest 'bidder was John
Hayman & Sons, London, at
$675,000. W. A. McDougall,
Limited, London the firm which
is building the hospital wing
at Goderich, tendered at
$684,000, and Ball Brothers,
Kitchener, $707,000.
“The cost was so much high
er than expected that the com
mittee experienced 'a state of
shock’,” chairman Elgin Thomp
son said “but We have to
build; there are more applica
tions all the time.”
Don Snider, of the firm of
Snider, Huget & March, achi-
tects, said: “I cannot offer any
encouragement that prices will
remain steady. With the obli
gations of contractors for lab
or, I cannot see costs being
any less.”
“After the necessary approv
als, the board can sign a con
tract,” clerk-treasurer J. G.
................... . "" —
Berry explained. “We have
made interim financial arrange
ments with the bank. Then we
will proceed to obtain prices
in connection with actual fin
ancing.
“The bond market is not
good, and if not good enough
we can still carry on with in
terim financing; Based on in
formation received from Tor
onto on Friday, it would cost
$50,000 a year, on a 10-year
basis, to finance our portion of
it.
“The first payment would be
in 1967. Part of our money be
ing allocated for hospital con
struction possibly could be di
verted to this project, and at
the end of 1969 we will have
fully paid off the present
county home, which is costing
$73,000 a year, 'and from that
point on we could finance it
from present debenture mon
ey.”
Superintendent Harvey John
ston reported 225 residents in
the home, including 130 female
and five 'married couples. Ad-
, GODERICH — The audio
metric screening program has
proven very worth while in
Huron', county council was told
by Dr. IR, M. Aldis, MOH. Ap
proximately 131 children With
appearent hearing difficulty
were referred to their physi
cians for further examination.
“The program included the
testing of all children in one-
room rural elementary schools:
Grade 2, 4," 6, opportunity class
es, Grade 5 in occupations class
es, repeaters, and all requests
of parents, teachers' and doctors
in the urban .and central sch
ools.
• For the eighth consecutive
year, 'Dr. Aldist reported, Huron
did not have a single case of
. paralytic polio. Sabin oral vac
cine, offered for a first time in
county schools, was-accepted by
13,500 Children', representing
93% of the school population.
“Medical reasons” accounted
for most of the1 7%, the MOH
said in reply to an enquiry from
deputy reeve Geiger, of Hay,
and of course some pupils were
absent at the time. Replying
to Reeve A. D. Smith, Turn
berry, Dr. Aldiis said there had
'been no refusals: on religious
grounds.
Rabies: were prominent in
Huron last year, with 71 ani-
. mail cases reported, including 24
fox and 27 bovine. Though the
total is down from the 93 of
1959, “there is no indication
that this disease is dying out,”
the MOH said. The board of
health, in Co-operation with the
health and animal branch, pro
tected 2,750 pets at vaccination
clinics.
In co-operation with Huron
Tuberculosis Association, a
chest X-ray survey was con
ducted of county food-handlers.
No active cases of TB were
found 'among them, but several
were referred to physicians for
attention, and 24 of the 307
screened required 'chest clinic
follow-up.
There were 1,095 live births
in 1964, 'compared with 1,206
and 1,292 in the immediately
preceding years. Dr. Aldis noted
that the birth rate here seems
gradually declining from a high
postwar level, but “there is
still a healthy natural increase
which will ensure, continued
productivity in this area with
out the danger of municipal
bankruptcy that has threatened
some of the mushrooming su
burban areas.”
County Assessor A. A. Alex
ander explained the present
situation tin regard to assessors’
qualifications under new legis
lation.
“If you have an assessor em
ployed at this time,” he told
the councillors, "he will get
some sort of license — there
are three qualifications. We
have four in this county who
have passed, their three-year
course with Queen’s University,
and they will get the higher
qualification, permitting them
to go to any municipality in
Ontario. Others can practise
only in the municipality in
which they 'are now employed."
• V
Mir. Alexander said an appeal
by the Sifto Company is the
only one before the county
judge in regard to last year’s
assessment roll, and' it will
likely be heard in February.
Dean.1 Frederick J. Speckeen
addressed council on behalf of
the Waterloo Lutheran Univer
sity. Council provided a couple
of 'bursaries last year, but Dr.
Speckeen suggested a grant to
the building fund,' in a more
appropriate ratio to those given
Western and Waterloo Univer
sities. Waterloo Lutheran has
an enrollment now of 2,300 and
3,000 on the campus is predict
ed within two or three years.
“Of the present total', 686
students are United Church,
and there are more Anglicans,
Catholics' and Presbyterians
than Lutherans:. The univer
sity’s income is from three
sources: gifts and endowments;
federal grant and .tuition fees.
There 'is no provincial grant, as
it is a private institution.
“It doets appear,” Dr. Speck-
een said, “that Waterloo Lu
theran will ibe opening Simcoe
County College in September,
1967, in Orillia or near by.”
In’d'iscusslon of Waterloo Lu
theran’s entrance qualifications,
“'generally speaking, eight sub
jects' of Grade 13,” Reeve Clar
ence B'oyle, Exeter, said Grade
1.3 “needs overhauling.”
“Community colleges will
drain off Grade 12 graduates,
and take off some pressure,”
Dr. Speckeen said; I do not
think the answer is to get rid
of Grade 13.”
CNIB Needs $3,000 Grant
GODERICH — County coun
cil was asked for a grant of
<$3,000 toward cost of an ad
dition to Tweedsmuir Hall, at
London, to take care of 13 more
parents of the Canadian 'Na
tional Institute for the Blind.
Council last year voted $2,000
toward operations.
“The application wais support
ed by Field Secretary Ed.
Wheeler; J. E. Caruk, public
relations officer at Toronto, and
Jack Davison, local treasurer.
They were introduced by Public
School Inspector James Kin-
kead', associated with the Hur
on branch of CNIB for the past
28 years.
/‘The additional rooms are
needed, and you will be proud
of the addition when com
pleted,” Mr. Kinl<ead said. “The
regular work for the blind con
tinues, and we still have 70 or
75 blind people in1 Huron who
look to CNIB, the members of
our 'board, and county council
to make sure the assistance
they ..have had in the past will
be continued.”
Mr. Wheeler said the new ad-
f
O DRYERS
dition is to cost <$129,000, with
$32,500 coming from city and
county councils in the district.
“The London and Middlesex
board has $54,000,” he said,
“and we are asking London
for $20,000. You have in Huron
71 blind persons. We expect ten
next week, eight from Huron.
Their average stay is almost
four years. A representative
visits Huron at least once a
month to see people recom
mended for Tweedsmuir, or
blind who have problems.”
Mr. Wheeler said Mr. Kin
kead had given generously of
time and energy, and as a mem
ber of Tweedsmuir board at
tended meetings1 at his own ex
pense.
It was announced in council
on Friday that all grants would
be deferred, for study in con
nection with the March budget.

missions during the year total
led 59, and there were 52
deaths, 42 in the home. Four
residents were discharged to
other places.
Average age of those admit
ted was 82. There were 10 over
90, 24 between 80 and 89, 15
between 70 and 79,, eight be
tween 60 and 69 and two under
60.
The 1965 budget of <$390,500
included $239,000 for salaries,
$60,000 for food and $15,000 for
medical supplies.
The staff numbers 98, with
11 part-time.
“There is a waiting ’list of
30 to 40 all the time,” said
Reeve A- D. Smith, Turnberry.
“This impresses me with the
need for the home, and I would
hope council will see our com
mittee’s point of view and help
along the project.”
Mr. Berry: “We might get
some premium under the win
ter work plan.”
In reply to Reeve Carl Dal
ton, Seaforth, who asked if
there would be any change in
the per diem rate, deputy
clerk-treasurer Hanly explain
ed that capital account is not
taken into the per diem rate.
In 1966 the rate would be ab
out $140 per month.”
Supt. Johnston: “We are in
an area where there is a mini--
mum wage law, and salaries
went up $180 each on the staff
at the first of January.”
Mr. Hanly: “The department
of public welfare gives us a
figure we must charge, and the
board ihas set a figure just ab
out actual operating cost for
the year before. If you raise
the rate to cover debenture
cost, all this does is that peo
ple paying the full per diem
rate—there are 105—are then
subsidizing the ones not pay
ing. - That is what it amounts to.
It is not possible to set two
rates.”

GOOD DIGESTION
Did you know that your stomach starts to digest food
before you’ve eaten it ? Why this indecent haste, you ask ?
You see, the stomach is a hard working organ, and
needs plenty of preparation for each job it undertakes. So,
under the control of our nervous system, it gets lots of
advance notice before we start surrounding a tempting
dish. When we see or smell food that appeals to us, our
mouths start to water. That’s part of the digestive pro
cess right there. In addition our nerves transmit a message
to the stomach, which pours out the necessary digestive
juices.
The complicated functioning of the digestive system
is carried on within our bodies without us being aware of
it. Once the food is taken into the mouth (and! we should
use good judgment in eating all necessary food elements),
the process of digestion is carried on without our voluntary
control, by the living forces- of the body. Since the nerves
governing digestion lead from the spinal column it has
been discovered by the chiropractic profession that they
may become short-circuited at this point. It is the chiro
practor’s task to locate and remove, by manual means, all
such interference.
