County council opposes changes tn welfare act BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER GODERICH-It was indeed a "doggone" long discussion on the problems of stray dogs in Huron County; American hunt- ers who clean up the county's came and sometimes leave their 0 :' dogs behind; and the increasing threat of rabies. Reeve Kenneth Stewart set off the free-wheeling enquiry ' session with a call for County .: Council to try to find some sol- :, ution for the increasing rabies : threat. He said human life and comfort is endangered by the growing number of known rabies cases in the county and cited an . incident recently where a young i girl died when the anti-rabies 1 vaccine failed. 1 "There were 63 known cases 1 of rabies in the county last I year," Mr. Stewart reported. , Carl Dalton, reeve of Sea- i forth said although the town was "polluted with dogs" the Omar- i io Humane Society made the requirements for dog pounds so I strict that the Municipality was unable to maintain one, He i charged that dog catchers were I not permitted to lay hold of a dog unless the animal was run-t - ning on a street or highway. He maintained that a dog should be shot if it was running at large, untagged and unwanted,: Etnie Talbot, reeve of Stan, ley reported it was his under- ' standing that if an animal was causing damage it could be dis- posed of legally undet the Live- stock Ptotection Act, to Stephen Township, report" ed teeve James Hayter, petsons could catch stray dogs and int., pound them at the townShip's expense at a veterinarian ken., tel in Exeter.

He indicated he would be willing to do a great deal of the work involved in the construction. In 1960, Pioneer Museum had 23, 4"; 4 visitors, an increase of 1,312 persons over tne pre- vious year. Included were 3, - :362 school children from :82 schools. "People were pleased with what they saw," Chisholm told council members. "They think they get the worth of their money. I believe the museum will come closer to paying its way than many other projectsin Huron." A devoted curator, Mr.Chis- holm noted with some longing that Huron County .Niuseum had been offered a Bell thresher, built in Seaforth before the line became obtolere. "It belongsin the museum," he said, "but there is no room." A bronze centennial plaque will be erected on the new wing at the museum it was reported. wNTFR BORKUS Luxurious "Beacon Hill" Broadloom By KRAUS Installed Wall-To-Wall In The Living Room Of Each Beaver Manufactured Home.

With the changeover from a co-operative library system to a County Library Service, addi- tional space is required for an increased volume of books, As well, easily accessible ramps for loading and unloading will be needed. To date, no suit- able spot has been chosen by the Property Committee who will study the matter further dur- ing the coming months. Members of the Property Committee will also consider the problem of relocating used clothing now stored in a vault in the basement of the Court House. The report revealled that the vault space was "des- perately" needed for storingre- cords, the original purpose of the vaults. In recent years, the unused vault was utilized as a conven- ient place to store clothing donated for redistribution to the county's needy and to complete the necessary labor involved in cleaning, mending and pressing the wearing apparell.

Reeve James Hayter said that Essex and Kent counties in the Southern part of the province had banned Americans as hunt- ers there.
