Through it all, Gaunt maintained he was expressing "strictly personal views" and was not toeing any party line. He told council the official • plan for the county is a "good idea." He also eased council's mind with the news that in his opinion, regional government is at least eight to 10 years away in this part of the province. "County school boards have given the government second thoughts," he said. He did predict that when regional government did come the swing Would be to regional school boards. He expressed some concern at the "continued pressure towards centralization". He said farms and businesses were getting "bigger and fewer" and governments are getting "bigger and bigger". "When the little man gets the feeling that all he has to do is foot the bill, then I think we are in real trouble," said Gaunt. 6 4 8 4 S Wilmer Hardy, Colborne, asked Gaunt whether or not the county should be interested in a county welfare system. Gaunt told council the system would likely prove more ekpensive and members of council would have to decide whether the improved quality of service would justify the extra tax dollars, "Look well before you leap," was Gaunt's advice. In the matter of assessment, Gaunt advised council all assessment will eventually be done on the basis of current market value , „ what a willing purchaser would give to a willing Seller. He predicted a substantial shift of taxload to private homes and farms because it will be easier to put a real value on private holdings than on business. "Homes and farms are sold every day," he noted. "I think there are going to be some real problems. The government has said that in five years you can have the assessing back. I suggest to you that in five years you won't want it back." There was discussion regarding the financing of the fire engine. Council was in agreement that it would be to their advantage to finance it through the local bank if possible rather than through debentures. The clerk informed the members there was still some work to complete the installation of the gas furnace in the hall. The council voted to pay $1,000.00 to the contractor W. J. Cameron and the balance when the work was finished to their approval. A letter from the Ontario Development Corporation informed the council that their municipality had been approved eligible under the equalization of the Industrial Opportunity Program. This announcement paves the way for Boise Cascade to receive a forgivable loan to enlarge General Coach Works Limited. OFFER PRIZES The Recreation Parks and Community Centre Board asked if the council would consider offering prizes for the snow sculpture competition at the Stuffing! Bread for old-fashioned fluffy poultry dressing should be at least 3 to 4 days old, says the Poultry Products Institute of Canada. Modern bread stays soft much longer than the bread of 40 or 50 years ago which many old dressing recipes called for. Day old unwrapped bread was drier than today's wrapped 3 day old bread. Consequently when a recipe calls for day old bread, it is frequently an old recipe which has not been modernized. If your dressing tends to be heavy, try using bread that is older than one or two days to make the crumbs. * * To prevent soggy wet dressing, says the Poultry Products Institute of Canada, be sure the poultry is completely thawed and the body cavity thoroughly dried out with clean paper towelling or tea towel. Sit bird upright in kettle or large pot and drain for 10 minutes, stuff with clean towelling, leave propped up for another few minutes. Finish drying with clean towel and stuff with dressing and roast. Centralia Farmers Supply Ltd. Grain • Feed • Cement Building Supplies Cool 228-6638 Winter Carnival the last week in January. It was agreed to do this. The proceeds from the Carnival will assist the Recreation Board to replace the old arena roof and make other repairs to the building. Councillor Rooseboom, speaking on behalf of the Recreation Board, said that the latter was considering putting off the completion of the new roof until spring. Replacing it through the winter activities is causing some inconvenience. He asked if the council would be agreeable to paying Ed. Fink, the contractor, the money he has already laid out for the steel. The council agreed to look into the matter. SAYS FAREWELL Harold Knight, in his farewell comments, said he was sorry not to be elected a member of the 1970 council but he believed fully in the democratic process and "the people have spoken". He left some suggestions with the council. He felt that someone other than a councillor should be chairman of the Industrial Board. He said he had not had time to do justice to this position because of his duties. He also suggested that Recreation Board members be reimbursed for their work. He thought this might create more interest in the upkeep and welfare of the arena and parks. Knight stated he felt the "press has been reasonably fair to me .. . although I think I have been misquoted a few times." He said he enjoyed council work and paid tribute to Clerk Earl Campbell who had always been most helpful to him.

Mayor Jack Delbridge agreed, although he did question whether there would be some criticism of council spending tax money on such a project, "There shouldn't be," answered Deputy-Reeve Mery Cudmore. "It's a way of recognizing the amount of work these people do for the town." Local grad wins prize Members of the Huron County Board of Education learned Monday evening the names of three Huron County 1969 secondary graduates who will share the county portion of the Carter Scholarships: Harold Newland, Central Huron Secondary School, with 659 marks out of a possible 700, $100; John Goddard, South Huron District High School, 652 out of 700, $60; and Charles Trewartha, Central Huron Secondary School, 638 out of 700, $40. Teachers who have tendered resignations are Mrs. Jo Anne Telford, Goderich; Mrs. Donna McKay, Wingham; Mrs. Geulda Holmes, Seaforth; and M.J. Yea rsl ey , Exeter. In a very brief presentation to the board Roy B. Dunlop said he expected finances would remain within the budget forecast. lie said interest rates this year amount to about $115,000. No decision was made on the acoustics problem at Central Huron Secondary School. The board did learn that the carpeting treatment would be approximately half the cost of acoustic panelling but was concerned that the cost of maintaining the carpeted walls would be a factor in the final decision. The matter was left in abeyance until policy is made regarding the proper methods to employ on such expenditures eg. what jobs must be tendered and which jobs can be completed without such formal preparations. Snowmobile trails are presently being developed on Authority property and it has been recommended admission be charged for their use during the , year "One trail will be bulldozed through the bush for the speeders who like sharp bends and thrills. The other will be over open ground for family snowmobiling," he said, The chairman also said a lot of people like to go camping in the winter. They get in their house trailers and take their snowmobiles along for some extra winter fun. We will try and provide them with the extra facilities they need. In connection with the camping areas being planned, members of the advisory board met recently with representatives of the National Campers and Hikers Association. This group of enthusiasts made several worthwhile suggestions which will be given consideration. Amos also mentioned the various engineering studies that had been completed at the Kiondyke, Ailsa Craig and Grand Bend Erosion control projects. In addition a 160 foot gabion wall was constructed downstream from the dam at Exeter by Authority personnel. Wellington Brock, Usborne township representative on the Authority for about twenty years announced his retirement.

This Weekend ... DINE WELL at The Little Inn BAYFIELD For Reservations 565-2611 Receptions - Banquets - Catering • Hensall council learned at its meeting Monday night that as yet it has not received a signed agreement with Tuckersmith council regarding the purchase of the new fire engine, its maintenance and expense of replacing equipment. Council decided to try and arrange a meeting with the Tuckersmith council in he near future to hammer out their differences. Fire committee chairman, Harold Knight, urged the members of council to contact the supplier of the fire engine and explain the situation. He feared if the contract with the supplier was not signed soon the original cost price might rise. Clerk Earl Campbell said he had been informed that the contract could only be signed by the 1970 council but he agreed it would be wise to contact the supplier.
