HY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
Ashfield Reeve Warren Zinn
asked Bob Dempsey, •Huron -
County engineer, about the
amount of salt put on county
roads. He asked if there was any
formula for the applications, or if
it was more hit and miss.
"It is really a judgement call,"
explained Mr. Dempsey. The
weather--the wind factor and the
temperature--determine the
amount of salt applied to roads in
the winter months, he said.
In general, the rule is salt to
asphalt roads and sand to gravel
roads. Salt does not work in all
situations, said the engineer, the
mix of sand to gravel is left to the
roads foreman based on his
previous ,years of experience.

Warren Zinn,- Reeve of
Ashfield Township and chairman
of Hpronview's committee of
management, said that while
prices usually go up, it was
interesting to note that the price
of bread for Huronview has gone
down slightly from 1977.
The quotation of Lewis Bakery
was accepted at 33 cents per loaf
of bread, with pastry, rolls, etc.,
to be charged at retail cost less 20
per cent.
The committee also authorized
- the purchase of a small safe for
the vault which will result in the
insurance premiums being
lowered.
Two Clinton firms were
successful bidders for Home
supplies. Pete's' TV will supply a*
television to the Home for $529
plus tax and Huron Business.
Machines will provide a calculator
at $192.55.
Paul Steckle, :Stanley
Township deputy-reeve,
expressed his disappointment
that Huron County had missed an
opportunity to advertise the 1978
International Plowing Match at
the recent convention of rural
municipalities. 4-Te suggested
something be planned to promote
the plowing match in Huron at the
Good Roads Convention.
Bill Elston, reeve of Morris and
a member of the 1PM committee.,
said he'd gone at his own expense
to the Farm Show in Toronto for
two days to promote the match.
"I'm afraid it isn't being
advertised properly outside the
county," he added. .
He pleaded for anyone with
ideas for advertising to get in
touch with the, committee.

Huron County doesn't have an
assistant tree commissioner any
more. With the resignation' of
Murray Scott from that position,
the county has agreed not to
replace him at this time.
According to Administrator Bill
Hanly, a new Trees keit is to be
developed, and it has been
considered best to wait until the
terms of the Act are clear before
replacing Scott.

McKillop Reeve Allan
.Campbell wanted to know why
the county had not leased land in
East Wawanosh to Fraser Land
Services Limited, on behalf of
Shell Canada Resources-Limited.
Development committee
chairman Bill Elston said it is
county policy not to lease county-
owned land for oil and gas
speculation.
John Flannery, reeve of
Seaforthq and chairman of the
Social Services Committee, said
Thursday, in Goderich that
Huron's Social Services depart-
ment is "still among the low ten
of the provincial counties as far as
Social Service costs are
concerned.
At present there are 110 cases
being handled by the local Social
Services department, for a total of
410 beneficiaries.
"Although the caseload is
down considerably from a year
ago," said Reeve Flannery, "the
number of beneficiaries has not
decreased that much."
He predicted that if unemplok-
ment remains at .its present level
or increases in 1978, the Social
Services department could have a
"very difficult year".

At the December meeting of
county council, it was reported by
the Social Services' committee
that the live-in rate for the

that this figure was in error and
the corrected live-in rate is $36
per day," reported Chairman
John Flannery.
Enquiries have been made for a
co-ordinator for the Home
Support Program, but. nothing
definite will be decided until it is
