A delegation was expect- ed xpected on Wednesday. On May 22 a delegation from Huron Hol- stein Club appeared before the finance and executive commit- tee. Communications read on Monday were from Seaforth, Exeter and Kirkton Agricultural Societies and Belgrave School Fair, "We are of the opinion that fall fairs are playing an impor- tant role in promoting agricul- ture in Canada," stated the Seaforth letter. "People are given the opportunity to see some of the best livestock and this also applies to the general section of our fairs. They de- serve all the encouragement we can give them. With the rising cost of operating fall fairs we feel it is a very inopportune time to set back the grant paid by the county." Concerned with the pending recommendation of the com- mittee, the Exeter society stressed the usefulness of small fairs in promoting understand- ing between rural and urban people and in general in mak- ing Huron a better place in which to live. Doing good work with the 4-H clubs, Kirkton fair board pointed out that it is not spend- ing much on classes open to professionals. There have been three winners of the Queen's Guineas by persons who got a start in 4-H clubs. The hoard is "very disappointed thatcoun- ty council is considering re- ducing the annual grant." Belgrave expressed a hope council will see fit to consider the annual grant, County Council Welfare Program Is Being Studied GODERICH--The county is watching the progress in Went- worth of a pilot project in which welfare is organized on a county basis. That county has appointed a county welfare ad- ministrator and has several per- sons from the welfare depart- ment helping. Following discussions at a recent meeting in Chatham of the Ontario Counties Associa- tion, Mr. Berry was able to cite certain advantages and dis- advantages of the system. Among the former was the over- riding factor of better and prompter service; appointment of a full-time staff; investiga- tion of all cases making appli- cation for any type of assis- tance; uniform policy through- out the counties, and complete records of all individuals or families requiring any type of assistance. Among disadvan- Chartered Banks seeking Changes Montebello, Que., lune 18 -- The chartered banks, in seeking changes in the Bank Act, be- lieve that the law 'should not unnecessarily curb and confine one set of institutions while leaving competitors free," it was stated by R, D, Mulholland, president of The Canadian Bankers' Association, The main point in the case for the banks, Mr, Mulholland told the annual meeting of the Association, "is to be freed from the restrictions that limit our ability to serve the finan- cial needs of the Canadian people. We made that recom- mendation (to the Royal Com- mission on Banking and Finance) because we know that each limitation imposed on the chartered banks means a reduc- tion in the financial services that a bank can extend to the Canadian people and a reduc- tion in the sources of financing available to the Canadian people." In a short review of econo- mic conditions, Mr. Mulhol- land stressed the recovery made since the dollar crisis of a year ago, adding "I do not say we are completely out of the woods —there is still much to be done— but the improvement in our bal- ance of payments has been clear and continuous for some time and the inflow of capital, particularly long-term capital, has been a reversal of what was happening a year ago and an in- dication of a restoration of con- fidence on the part of foreign investors." Mr. Mulholland, referred to the ceiling of six per cent on bank lending rates and the in- ability of banks to take mort- gage security in the ordinary course of business as two ex- amples of rhe restrictions the banks would like to see remov- ed, and which, if done, would place the banks on an equal footing with near -banks such as trust companies, mortgage companies, credit unions and caisses populaires, small loan companies, and government savings institutions. tages he mentioned loss of local autonomy, no saving in cost, and less convenience for people making applications. "The program will have to be studied more closely when the program has been worked out," he said. LIBRARIAN REPORTS Miss M. L. Stirling, county librarian, reported that from the beginning of the year "we have completed one library ex- change in March; two school exchanges in February and May and our yearly pool exchange in April.

Toronto By W, E. Elliott GODERICH--The death rate from accidents is higher, in proportion to population, in Huron County than in Metro* politan Toronto, and the same is true of deaths from motor ve` hide accidents alone. In a health unit report to county council at its June session, Dr, R. M. Aldis, M. 0,11, , cites the statistics to emphasize the importance of certain safety measures, The summer season, he points out, "has more threats to human life than even the past winter." Greatest risk is right around home, for 36% of fatal accidents occur there. The roads account for 22%, the farm for 15%,recreation 1470 and industry only 9%. Acci- dents are the No, 1 cause of death from ages one to 40. Country life is not the haver. it is reputed to be. Analysis of Ontario statistics for the five- year period 1957-61 reveals the following contrasts (rates com- puted on basis of 100, 000 per- sons); Rate for all acc. deaths, Huron '72, Met. Toronto 44; Motor fatalities, Huron 29, Mel Toronto, 16. "Has your community a safety council?" the M. 0.H. asks, "Is the traffic officer wel- comed in your school? Are classes for first aid and home nursing available in your com- munity? Do you have any supervised swimming areas, and is instruction available for non -swimmers. "About 6% of the deaths each year in our county are due to accidents, Six per cent is considered a good return on in- vestiments, but it is shocking in terms of human lives lost, "Immunization against lock- jaw ockjaw is particularly valuable for our rural residents, who risk ex- posure xposure to the spores of the tet- anus germ with every wound, be it from a rose thorn or a manure fork. A double benefit is available for persons seeking protection against lockjaw, since this toxoid is available in combination with polio' vac- cine. There is another desir- able feature, in that everybody protected with this toxoid can escape the unpleasant reactions so often associated with the horse serum that comprises con. ventional tetanus antitoxin. Tetanus antitoxin is the serum that has to be given to individ* uals who have not had the course of toxoid previously, "No matter where they live, all citizens should obtain im- munization for lockjaw and polio' from either their person- al physician or at one of the Health Unit's clinics." A man was visiting hisneigh- bor. They were sitting in the living room talking when the dog came in and asked if any- one had seen the evening paper, He was handed the paper and left. The friend was astonished. " That's remarkable! A dog that reads!" "Oh, don't let him fool you," answered the neighbor, "he only looks at the comics."
