New Stamp Issue Feb. 3 Two new postage stamps, honoring the official flowers of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick will be issued by the Post Office Department February 3rd. The stamps are the fourth and fifth of a series scheduled for issue bet ween now and Canada's Centennial Year of 1967. The blue, pink and green stamp honoring Nova Scotia shows the arms and the floral emblem of that province, the trailing arbutus, more common- ly known as the Mayflower. This flower was officially adopt- ed dopt cd by the province in .1901, al- though as far back as 1825, it was used as a decorative motif on the front page of the "Nova Scotian" and on the buttons of the Nova Scotia Militia, The Mayflower also appeared on a series of postage stamps issued by Nova Scotia during the period 1851 to 1853. In 1936, the purple violet was officially adopted by New Brunswick as the floral emblem of that province. Instrumental in the choice of this flower as the official provincial emblem were the Women's Institute, groups of school children and the Lieutenant -Governor, Col- onel Murray MacLaren. The stamp is in red, purple and green. The two stamps are being printed by the intaglio process with complementary colour work by offset using hand engra- ved masters for the original plates. This combination of printing methods is relatively new to Canadian postage stamps. It was used for the Peace stamp and the floral emblem stamps of Ontario and Quebec. Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, January 28, 1965 - Page 3 Is Money Suprerne? (Continued from Page One) affected if construction were undertaken near the existing county home at Clinton. It is our understanding that they suggested an increased cost of about $40,000 if the build- ing were erected at another site, Since this would bear a 50% grant, total increased cost to the county would be about $20,000— a very small burden when amortized over the normal debenture period. At its November session the county council was in- formed that a study is being undertaken to determine the actual need as far as old people in the county is con- cerned. Preliminary figures suggest that Huron may have as many as twice the normal number of older people. Why has the decision to build at Clinton been made before the facts are know about where these older people live? How many families would have to drive all the way from Am- berley, Clifford or points in between to Clinton to visit with their loved ones? We fully anticipate that this editorial will be met by the usual protests that we are interfering in county busi- ness and, above all, that we are disguising a greedy attempt by Wingham to secure the new home under the garments of altruistic interest in old people. This is far from the case. In fact, we are quite aware that many residents and reeves in the south end of the county are equally interested in seeing the county home addition built there and we agree whole-heartedly with the validity of their in- terests, We are simply opposed to any further expansion of the already large home facilities at Clinton when a home in either the north or the south of the county would better serve the interests of the people who will have to pay for it. The public should be aware of the fact that any ad- dition at Clinton cannot be in the form of an expansion of the present Huronview accommodations. Department of- ficials have indicated that the addition will have to be a completely separate institution to preserve the personal relationship between staff and residents. So that every member of the voting public may know exactly how matters stand, we list the results of the vote in county council when the following resolution was pre- sented: "That we build a 75 -bed wing, with facilities for 150 beds on another site": In favor — J. P. Alexander, Wingham; R. T. Bailey, Exeter; G. Boyd, Ashfield; C. E. Boyle, Exeter; N. C. Cardno, Seaforth; F. A. Clift, Bayfield; 8. Cook, Blyth; J. H. Cor- bett, Hay; C. Dalton, Seaforth; C. Dunbar, Grey; L. Durn- in, West Wawanosh; A. Etherington, Usborne; R. Gibson, Howick; I. Haskins, Howick; R. Jewell, Goderich (2 votes); J. Kerr, Wingham; C. Krauter, Brussels; A. Smith, Turn - berry. (19 ). (Opposed — D. Geiger, Hay; W. Hardy, Colborne; E. Hayter, Stanley; J. Hayter, Stephen; N. Jones, Hensall; T. Leiper, Hullett; E. Mcllwain, Goderich Twp.; 0, McKenzie, Ashfield; M. Oesch, Zurich; S. Procter, Morris; E. Snell, East Wawanosh; K. Stewart, McKillop; G. Stirling, Gode- rich Twp.; R. Squire, Goderich (2 votes); E. Talbot, Stan- ley; D. Thompson, Clinton; E. Thompson, Tuckersmith; G. Webb, Stephen; G. Wonch, Clinton. (20). Alternative sites for the county home addition would be the Wingham area, quite possibly in either Morris or East Wawanosh Townships—or the Exeter area. We suggest you ponder this question and discuss it with your own reeve the next time you see him.
