received for bedside nursing
care and these are being handled
on a limited basis.
"Studies in Canada and the
U.S. have established that
homemakers' services and bed,
side nursing do remedy many
of the problems resulting from
chronic illness, and do rectify
any inequities that may result
from imbalances in the availa-
bility of beds."
(The warden's and personnel
committee of county council
discussed homemaker service
last year, and at the November
session recommended that no
action be taken at this time.)
''In the meantime,' stated
the MOH in his report, "it is
suggested that municipalities
might make a file of possible
recruits for such a service and
s tr en g the n co-operation be-
tween welfare and health de-
partments. Through liaison with
the Ontario Community Mental
Health services centred atGod-
erich and London, the Health
Unit has continued to assist in
securing early treatment for
these patients, and to assist the
families in their rehabilitation.
Boyle objeetedstroegly, stet-.
ing the board snail-11d not send a
Collection agency after the
amount, As it had been rumored
it would do, Farrow indicated a
decision, of that kind would be
up to council.
The secretary explained the
hall club originally had request-
ed Money for uniforms but the
hoard refused When it realized
it would set a precedent for
ether adult teams. The loan had
been made in good faith to help
the club, he said, but now the
board realized it should not
have done so.
Wooden outlined what had
happened, "It was really a mat-
ter beyond our control because
the league collapsed around
us," which eliminated the gate
receipts expected. He pointed
out that club had been warned
by the OBA at the start of the
season that it could not enter
league play last year unless it
secured new uniforms.
The problem extended to the
current Mohawk hockey club,
whose gate receipts have pro-
vided little revenue for the
arena so far, although Boyle
pointed out that playoffs may
bring more returns.
Farrow felt such gr oups
should operate through the re-
creation committee, rather than
independently. "That's what
we're there for, to help them",
he said,
SHOW BALANCES
As reported last week, RAP
committee shows surpluses in
both its recreation and com-
munity centres board accounts.
A balance of $1,500 is in the
recreation books, following a
total expenditure of $18,732.
The community centre board
(arena and ball park) balance
is $1,400 after total expenses
of $12,525.
"We have a very comprehen-
sive recreation program for a
town of 3,200 people. It's gen-
erally held up as an example
throughout Western Ontario as
to how recreation programs
should operate," he said.
Both Wooden and Boyle com-
mended the work of the board
and its director, Don Gravett.
POOL STUDY
Some discussion took place
on the swimming pool project,
but Mayor Simmons said it was
premature because a RAP com-
mittee still has to meet with the
pool people.
Farrow reported that at
RAP's last meeting, the pool
committee reported that it had
about $11,000 in cash and
pledges, which is about $9,000
short of the estimated cost of
the pool, not considering the
changing facilities which would
require another $10,000.
Farrow recalled that council
had agreed to consider the pro-
ject when the committee raised
$20,000. "This puts us in a
position were we can't recom-
mend anything to council", he
said,

MESSENGERS
The January meeting of the
Messengers was held during
church service Sunday morning
with 31 members present. The
theme of the meeting was "God
Is Our Heavenly Father Who
Cares For Us As A Shepherd
Cares For His Sheep".
The study book was taken by
Mrs. Ellis Strahan after which
a hymn was sung. The Bible
study was taken by Mrs. Ted
Insley. A poem was given by
Cathy Thacker "Where Is
God?" The offering was taken
by Julie Webb and Debra Ja-
ques.
Jeannette Hooper gave a piano
solo. Prayer was given by Gor-
don Robinson. John Gartenburg
read the 23rd Psalm. The pre-
sident Joy Thacker was in
charge of the business. The roll
call was answered by paying
fees. The meeting closed with a
hymn.
Major increases of 20 to 30%
across the board were revealed
in annual reports presented at
Cavell Presbyterian Church's
congregational meeting last
week.
Largest financial gains were
shown in the outreach and social
service programs of the church
which have been stressed by the
minister, Rev, John Boyne. This
work includes overseas relief
and inter-church aid through
the world council.
Two new members were elec-
ted to the board of management
for three-year terms. They are
George Shaw and vim Glasgow,
who succeed Hilton Laing and
John Girot. Clifford Ersman
was re-elected to another
three-year term.
The congregation's 1964 bud-
get was established in Novem-
ber following an every-member
visitation program.
Mrs. Cliff Ersman acted as
secretary for the meeting,

Council must decide on the
form of the "ticket" which
will be issued to motorists
found offending speed limits
by the machine. It also wants
to erect warning signs for
motorists at the outskirts of
the town, although this is not
required by statute.
Council has beenconcern-
ed that the town derives little
revenue from the fines which
would be assessed as a result
of radar. On enquiry from
solicitor Peter Raymond,
however, it learned Monday
night that fines can be col-
lected only by the county ma-
gistrate, who retains a major
portion for expenses of the
judicial system in the county.
Time is that expanse of space
between pay days.
Councillors clash
over bell ringing
Two town councillors differ
completely on the merits of
ringing the town hall clock each
and every hour, as well as the
additional ringing which is done
by Emerson Cornish at 8 am,
12 noon, 1 pm and 6 pm.
"I think it should be con-
tinued," said Wooden. "It's a
lovely anachronism".
"I think it should be dis-
continued. It's ridiculous," re-
torted Boyle.
Their comments followed the
offer of a watchmaker to install
an automatic device which would
provide for additional ringing
at the strategic hours. Council
filed the offer for the time being.
DISLIKES JFK
The two Councillors clashed
also over John F. Kennedy, late
U.S. president. Wooden asked if
council would be interested in
making a donation to the John
P. Kennedy Retarded Children's
Vend, which has been launched
in Canada.
"Not if it's J$'10, opposed

GODERICH
Animal rabies increased
markedly last year to a total of
68 cases, compared with 33 in
1962, Dr. R. M. Aldis, MOH,
stated in his report to the
January session of county coun-
cil.
Seventy-four exposed humans
required the 14-day vaccine
treatment (27 in 1962) and one
patient developed paralysis on
completion of his series.
Concerned for the safety of
school children exposed to ra-
bies that occurred in unvac-
cinated dogs, the board of health
inaugurated vaccination clinics
here last summer. In the last
five months of the year, 11
clinics were held and 971 dogs
and cats immunized. This pro-
gram is expected to cover the
entire county by the middle of
1964.
A slight increase was ob-
served in venereal disease,
which is occurring more fre-
quently in the 15-20 years age
group.
Infectious hepetitis has de-
clined in incidence, but one
death from this cause was noted
last year.
Live births in Huron num-
bered 1,130 last year, still-
births seven and 23 neonatal
and infant deaths. There were
no maternal deaths. -
Attendance at chest clinics
rose to 771, and three new
cases of tuberculosis were re-
ported. This year the county
is scheduled to have a mass
survey for tuberculosis. At the
last survey, in 1960, among
24,148 persons tested pulmon-
ary tuberculosis was found In
'17. Persons discovered with
diseases other than TB num-
bered 515.
"In the fight against tuber-
culosis," Dr, Aldis Said, "the
greatest obstacle is the apathy
of the people. It must be re-
emphasized that this disease
has no symptoms in its early
stages."
One death from tetanus oc-
curred. The case was that of a
man whose only history of injury
was that a plank had fallen on
his foot about two weeks pre-
viously. Evidently there had
been a minor break in the skin
of the toe, but the patient had
not sought medical attention
until the symptoms of lockjaw
had set in.
The medical officer shared
in a project of research into
deaths from cancer in the
county. This study will continue
for a three-year period and is
intended to analyze differences
in the histories and incidence of
cancer (certain forms) occur-
ring here as against character-
istics in other areas of the
province,
"We are pleased," he said,
"to note an increase in the
number of nursing visits, up
1,113 over 1962, at 9,801, and
that the age groups served are
more comprehensive. Through
co-operation with the regional
welfare officer, a program has
been developed to offer the as-
sistance of the public health
nurses to the elderly and dis-
abled, More requests are being
