Dave Reed and Don Joynt of Frank Cowan Insurance attended the meeting to review council's insurance coverage on municipal • buildings and employees., Mr. Reed rgcommerided council consider increasing its liability limits, and con- sider taking out errors and omissions insurance, which is really a form of municipal malpractice insurance. Council members decided to review their insurance coverage at a especial meeting of council. According to the officer in charge of the Exeter office of the Canada Employme.it Centre the employment situation in the south Huron and North Middlesex area is the best it's been since 1975. John Gillespie told the newspaper Friday that 1975 was the last year when there was as little unemployment among the permanent labour force as there is now, Gillespie said that while there was not a breakdown of employment statistics available for the area which his officer services, the number of clients registering with the em- ployment centre is ap- proaching the level which they were four years ago. During that time between 150 and 200 persons were registered which is con- siderably fewer than had been registered in recent years. Gillespie said his office should approach the low figure sometime before September. When asked for a reason why the employment situation is so good in this part of the country Gillespie replied it was the . general upswing in the economy plus a renewed vigour in this area. "I'm encouraged by the number of jobs available," Gillespie stated. The jobs available in this region still tend to be cycle in nature, and are agriculturally oriented, During the winter other job opportunities in construction or factories are limited, he said. During the winter an average of 800 persons have been registered with the centre compared with about 400 during the summer. In the south Huron region which runs from Brucefield to Lucan "People who are unemployed are unemployed S t.

Most people not working are attracted to positions which offer between $4 and $5 per hour with the positions paying below this standard not attracting as many people, he said, Asked about changes to the unemployment insurance act which became effective July "1 Gillespie said basically people who con- tinually draw benefits will only be able to draw benefits for the same length of time which they have worked. Get grants for housing Grants totalling $608,764 under the Ontario Home Renewal Program (OHRP) have been allocated to 15 municipalities, Housing Minister Claude Bennett announced Friday. • 0,HRP provides per capita gra ntsn to Ontario municipalities to lend money to homeowner-occupants to repair their houses to ac- ceptable municipal stan- dards. The grants announced today represent various portions of the total 1979-80 funding designated under, OHRP for each municipality. The objective of the program is to correct faulty structural and sanitary conditions and to upgrade plumbing, heating, in- sulation and electrical systems of owner-occupied homes. Loans of up to $7,500 may he given to eligible owner- occupants to bring their homes up to the standards adopted by their municiaplity. A portion of a loan can be forgiven depending upon the income of the recipient. Interest rates vary from zero to eight percent, again depending on income, OHRP extends home renewal opportunities to owner-occupants in any municipality in Ontario, urban or rural, which has adopted either a minimum housing standards bylaw or a resolution, setting :such standards. 'Arrangements have been made to extend the program to the residents of unorganized municipalities in Northern Ontario. Included in the latest grants are $40,000 each to the town of Exeter, village of Hensall and township of Stephen. repair or for planning. Reeve Harold Knight said he agreed with the York, resolution since "a local council knows a lot better what has priority than the people down in Toronto." Council members indicated they felt the government should award municipalities a certain amount and let the municipalities set their own priorities for how the money would be spent. Council also endorsed a resolution from the Ontario Municipal Recreation Association opposing any change in Wintario proceeds being designated for recreational and cultural projects. Reeve Knight said there is a growing lobby to see some of the Wintario monies go to health services in the province. Council members decided tax money, rather than lottery returns, was the most dependable way of funding health costs in the province. Council members filed a request for a donation from the Dover Township Flood Relief Committee. Some members expressed concern at the increasing numbers of requests for financial WALTER SOVEREIGN In St. Joseph's Hospital, on Monday, July 2nd, 1979, Walter Arnold Sovereign of Lucan, beloved son of the late Walter and Edith Sovereign, dear brother of Wilbeet Sovereign of Lucan, (Mildred) Mrs. Walter Fox of Saginaw, Michigan.

Roman Dzus, Huron County planner, notified council that no action was taken on a request to modify the secondary plan for property on the corner of Highway 4 and Queen Street. The planner said the ap- plicant's proposal was tbo uncertain and can be reconsidered when he has finalized his proposal for land use for the site, Lorne Maeck, the Minister of Revenue, acknowledged a request from council for an adjustment of assessments in the village. A member of the assessment division of his ministry will prepare a revised assessment roll fqr taxation in 1980 4RO:submit it to council for review. The Hensall PUC notified council that they passed a resolution that the $45 deposit paid by renters' before they can become PUC customers will now be called a "consumer deposit." In the past, when renters left town with money still owing to the PUC, the deposit was used to pay what was owing to Ontario Hydro. Now, under the new resolution, accounts written off the $45 deposit will be prorated between Hydro and water and sewage costs. Council was also notified the owner of a garage in the Petty block complex is planning to convert the lower level of the garage, which is on Nelson Street, into two apartments. The site is zoned for commercial uses, and the apartments will be a non-conforming use. Council members in- dicated their major concern with the situation was the problem of tenants parking. At a special meeting of council held in June, members accepted the tender of Hensall Motors Ltd. for a 1980 five ton, frink box truck for the sum of $14,850.

Four St. Marys young men were fined a total of $1,275 in a London court Monday on charges of destroying pail boxes in West Nissouri Time for checking army worm By MIKE MILLER Assoc. Ag. Rep. It's not too early to be checking for Arm;worm. They can best be detected by examining crops frequently during early evening, just before sunset. At this time, the caterpillars are moving up the plants to feed. They hide under clumps of grass and clods of dirt during the day. Armyworms are brown to dark green in colour with five stripes on their bodies. They are 11,2 inches long when fully grown. Five to six larvae per square foot warrants chemical control. Treat immediately if the foliage is heavily notched and most of the caterpillars are less than 11 2 inches long. Each field must be assessed and dealt with separately. Spraying the border of a field may be effective when the pest is on the move. Control measures are listed on page 29 of the 1979 Field Cr op Recom- mendations. The suggested insecticides include Sevin, Malathion, Methoxychlor and Lannate L. township in late May. Judge J. Menzies levied the fines against Charles Rodney Summers, Scott Clifford. Stark, Anthony Adrian Sterkenburg and David Murray Iredale. A total of 28 mail boxes were demolished and six charges were laid against Stark, four each against Sterkenburg, and Iredale and three against Summers. They were fined $75 on each charge. Constable W.T. Hodgins of the Lucan detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police was the investigating.officer.

The Hensall parks com- mittee has reported to council that 66 children are registered in the summer program at the playground, The program will start on July 9. The committee also reported while the roller skating program hasn't proved a huge success, it will be continued for the remainder of the summer. Since the committee found a considerable amount of staff overtime was being spent policing auditorium functions at the arena, it was decided to ask the board to consider having its members police week end functions on a voluntary, rotating basis. Council members voted to endorse a resolution 'sub- mitted by the municipality of York to petition the province to amend their Municipal Assistance program on a formula or other un- conditional basis. As the program stands now, the grants are given only on condition they are used for certain projects such as road With THE STOCK 21 Chesterfield Suites, 5 Sofa Beds, 2 Space Savers, 21 Occasional Chairs, 12 Recliners, 10 Bedroom Suites, and 11 Kitchen Sets.
