KELLER With only four municipalities within the boundaries of Huron County still opposed to the new County Library Service, Reeve Duff Thompson, Clinton, chair- man of the Huron Library Board made the following recommenda- tion at the January session of County Council: "That the Department of Edu- cation be requested to consider amending the present Legisla- tion relative to the establishment of county libraries in such a manner that when a by-law has been passed by county council establishing a County Library System, then all member munici- palities of the county should be- come automatically part of the said System." Townships of Hay, Huliett, East Wawanosh and Morris still ab- sent themselves from the System, and in order to be included in the service for 1967 would have to join by February 15, 1967. Goderich, a former hold-out, made application at the beginning of the session to become an in- tegral part of the County Library System. Thompson, speaking to the report said problems arise where two municipalities come together for library purposes, and only one of the two is a member of the County Library System. James Hayter, reeve of Stephen drew attention to a situation in Dashwood where the village is Centennial exhibits arrive Hangars at CFB Centralia are being used to store the trailers containing the exhibits to be used in the Canada wide tour of the Centennial caravan. One-half of the 64 exhibits are now on the Centralia property and the balance will be arriving in the near future. In the above picture, one of the trucks is being backed into position on arrival at Centralia, Sunday morning. Personnel for the caravan are training in London, but will take some instruction at Centralia.

No increase in road rate • ¤ • • split in two by the boundary be- tween Hay and Stephen. Hayter asked if Hay residents could re- main on the library board when Hay Township was not a County Library member, He was told that particular pro- blem had not been solved, but it was agreed that Hay Township residents, as well as residents of any other non-member munici- pality, would have to pay for the use of Library facilities in a member municipality. T ho s e living in a member municipality are entitled to free library ser- vice. Elgin Thompson, Tuckersrnith reeve, learned that any money presently held by the local library boards could be either turned back to the municipality or given to the County Library Board who would purchase books for that municipality's library. It is only when the County Library Board is the purchasing agent that full grants can be received. A qualified county librarian must be engaged, council was reminded. Concluded Duff Thompson: "A tremendous amount of work is necessary to evolve from the Huron County Library Co-opera- tive Board to the County Library Service." Britnell remarked. Specific road work scheduled for 1967, said Britnell, include hot mix paving on seven miles north of Nile; grading on five miles south of Lucknow; grad- ing from Hillsgreen to Highway 84 (two and one-half miles); 100- foot Kinburn Bridge on County Road 15; 40-foot bridge on County Road 20 in Ashfield Township.

JAMES NAMES OFFICERS The vestry meeting was held last Wednesday night at St. James In these days when the living is "expensive" rather than easy, the highlight of the road report at the January session of Huron County Council was the statement: "It is anticipated that our 1967 budget can be financed without an increase in the 1966 county road mill rate of 9.3 mills." Engineer James W. Britnell Court — Continued from front page liquor in a place other than his residence. Constable Glassford found 19 pints of beer in a car he stopped in Hay Township on December 30.

County dogs — Continued from front page the border arrived in sufficient numbers to strip the Huron bush- lands of everything that lived. A motion brought in at the Thursday afternoon session by Hayter, seconded by Stephen deputy-reeve Ed. Hendrick and endorsed by Hay Township deputy-reeve Delbert Geiger, called for the members of the Agriculture and Reforestation committee to consider a recom- mendation that American resi- dents be banned from hunting game in the county of Huron. Zurich man heads board Name appointees to area boards At their meeting, Monday, Ex- eter council finalized appoint- ment to various local and area beards. Russ Hopper was re-appointed to the Planning Board and coun- cil's representatives will again be Councillor Wooden and Mayor Delbridge. R.

"He's done a tremendous a- mount for our cemetery," Coun- cillor Wright stated. Cromarty church picks new officers IfiSMUSAMENA1Mk"5 AT THE HIGH SCHOOL RENTAL OWNERSHIP PLAN who presented the report said people who expect improved roads without increased expense are unrealistic, but added that if costs of gravel, etc. are in line with 1966 prices, the road budget can probably be held for another year. Total road construction in the county during 1966 amounted to $410,890 with bridge and culvert building accounting for an ad- ditional $246,766.52. Mainten- ance of roads cost $427,851.96 with bridge and culvert mainten- ance expenditures reported at $4,444.86. Questions from the floor re- garding the report included one from Clifford R, Dunbar, reeve of Grey, who wondered if sand- ing and salting was overdone. He noted the cost for this item alone was $50,184.65. Britnell told him most people preferred to travel on a skid- free pavement and that there were no hard and fast rules re- garding the amount of sand and salt required to keep them that way. The trial and error method proved the most satisfactory way to determine the quantity of salt and sand to be dumped on county roads, he declared, and said it was left to the discretion of the road foreman and the drivers. Council learned that an item marked ((Signs" on the road report and costing $25,784.58 in- cluded almost $10,000 for centre line painting. County road mark- ers are now general, reported Britnell, who said the route markers were necessary because of the increased traffic.

The arrangement would be similar to that set up in the move two years ago when many smaller school boards were dis- banded and joined into township boards. Representatives of the five municipalities plan to meet on February 9 to indicate their coun- cil's decisions. At present the area is served by three public school boards and the NMDS board. Garnet Leitch, Zurich veterin- arian, was named chairman of the Hay Township school board at their meeting recently. Vice- chairman is Ross Turnbull. Both men have been with the board through the switch to cen- tralization in the district which has channeled all the children of Hay Township and the villages of Hensall and Zurich into two larg- er schools in the urban centres. Leitch replaces Ian McAllister, who was chairman during the transition period. McAllister re- mains on the board for another term with Robert Rowcliffe, El- mer Rowe, Carl Oestricher and Dave Sangster, Hensall. Committees are: staff, Sang- ster, McAllister, Rowcliffe; property, Turnbull, Oestreicher, Rowcliffe; transportation, Rowe, McAllister, Turnbull; finance, McAllister, Rowe, Oestreicher. Robert Westlake was again ap- pointed secretary-treasurer of the board. Mrs. George Haggitt was retained as typist at the school in Zurich at a salary of $30 per month on a basis of $1.50 per hour.

The fire and light committee were instructed to ask the PUC for permission to build an ad- dition to their present building to accommodate the GB fire de- partment. Under present plans, the space now used by the fire trucks in the municipal building will be needed to accommodate the in- creased police force for the sum- mer. A building 20 feet wide and the length of the present structure would be satisfactory. A bylaw, authorizing the bor- rowing of up to $60,000 from the Bank of Montreal to carry on normal business of the village until tax collections are receiv- ed was passed. In discussing borrowing, clerk M. A. DesJardins said, "This is the latest we've ever had to bor- row and we are in the best fi- nancial shape for years." DesJardins reported to council that a fourth objection to the costs of the proposed water system had been received. It was from Frank Plumb, a tourist accommodation operator in the village protest- ing on the grounds the costs, primarily through frontage charges could be as much as his total yearly income. 2. Sign a purchase-rental agreement and pay monthly until rental payment equals purchase price plus small service fee. At the end of the payment period the typewriter is yours. CORRECTION An article in last week's issue noted that a stained glass window in memory of F/L Ear1G. Moore had been moved from CFB Cen- tralia to CFB Greenwood, N.S. It was reported that the wind- ow had been donated by Mrs. Moore to the protestant chapel at Centralia, where her husband was serving at the time of his death. This was misleading in view of the fact contributions for the window came from service and civilian friends of Padre Moore at No. 1 Air DiVision in Europe and from bases across Canada. HERE ARE THE ADVANTAGES: NO obligation to buy, If you decide against purchase of the typewriter during the first month we will refund the amount above the normal month's rental charge.
