Continued from Page One tennial project. Mrs. Robert Ahara, speaking for the B&PW Club, told of their plans for a fashion show in May. As a member of the la- dies' group of St. Paul's Angli- can Church she said that a cen- tennial tea will be held, pos- sibly in May. Norman Shepherd, the Cub leader, said that a family day for Cubs and Scouts and their parents will be held at Inver- huron. He also suggested that a very worthwhile project for some of the money-raising or- ganizations would be the selec- tion and purchase of a small tract of land within hiking or biking distance of town which could be used as a camp site by the Cubs, Another suggestion by Mr. Shepherd was the presentation. perhaps by the newly-organized little theatre group, of a short play relating to the history of the town. MARK FIRST HOME Barry Wenger suggested that this would be the appropriate year to place a plaque at the site of the first home of Ed Far- ley, Wingham's original set- tler. The site is located on land owned by Joe Kerr in Turn- berry Township, just west of Ron Wingfield's property. Lloyd Casemore and Barry Wenger were named to investigate the feasability of this proposal, An- other suggestion was that a trip by raft down the Maitland should be part of the year's ac- tivities, to duplicate the first settler's method of reaching the site from the long-gone village of Bodmin. Tom Russell said he would try to interest the Sportsmen's Club in the river trip. Lloyd Casemore said he wanted to see old-time curling at the local club. Mrs. K. Montgomery said that no spe- cific plans have been made by the Rebekahs so far. Mrs. Jack Reavie said the U.C.W. is purchasing a piano for the Unit- ed Church Sunday Sc000l. She also reported that the pupils at the Golden Circle School have been entered in the National Physical Fitness program and have completed the first phase. Mrs. Ken Leitch said the East- ern Star hasn't any special pro- ject as yet. Mrs. Clovis Desmarais re- ported that the Catholic Wom- en's League has two projects under consideration. One is the purchase of a new baptismal font for Sacred Heart Church and the other the compiling and publication of a history of the congregation. T. S. Beattie said that special attention has been devoted by teachers and pupils of the public school to the use of the flag and how to fly it properly. VETERANS' WEEK Willis Hall said that Domin- ion Ceendi and' the'Royal Can- adian Legion has designated the week of June 11 to 17 as Vet- erans' Week. A church parade will be held on June 11, fol- lowed by a service at the ceno- taph. A wreath will be laid in Wingham at the precise mo- • ment that Legions all over the land are doing the same. In the afternoon decoration day will be observed at the cemetery in conjunction with the members of the IOOF. Two busloads of patients from the veterans' hos- pital at Westminster will also be brought to town for the day. Another centennial project for the Legion will be the construc- tion of their new Legion home. Another suggestion was that active steps be taken to start a campaign for the redecora- tion of store fronts along the main street. The Norwich Plan was referred to as one of the most successful methods of improving the appearance of any business area. This sug- gestion will be presented to the Business Association. Roy Bennett urged that every family in town plant a centen- nial rose. He can provide the information about source of supply. Another proposal was that all the merchants start early in the year to put at least one old- time object in each store win- dow every week. Thus by the end of the summer the business section would become an inter- esting museum. Anyone seeking information on centennial subjects is asked to contact either Mrs. Anna Meyer or Mrs. Aantje Robinson at CKNX. All information about dates for events goes to or may be secured from John Lang- ridge, also at CKNX.

Library System BY SHIRLEY KELLER GODERICH—With only four municipalities within the boun- daries of Huron County still op- posed to the new Count Lib- rary Service, Reeve Duff Thompson, Clinton, chairman of the Huron Library Board made the following recommen- dation at the January session of County Council: "That the Department of Education be requested to con- sider amending the present leg- islation relative to the estab,- lishment of county libraries in such a Manner that'when a by- law has been passed by county council establishing a County Library System, then all mem- ber municipalities of the coun- ty should become automatical- ly part of the same system." Townships of Hay, Hullett, East Wawanosh and Morris still absent themselves from the sys- tem, and in order to be includ- ed in the service for1967 would have to join by February 15, 1967. Goderich, a former hold- out, made application at the beginning of the session to be- come an integral part of the County Library System. Reeve Thompson, speaking to the report said problems arise where two municipalities come together for library pur- poses, and only one of the two is a member of the County Li- brary System. James Hayter, reeve of Step- hen drew attention to a situa- tion in Dashwood where the vil- lage is split in two by the boun- dary between Hay and Stephen. Mr. Hayter asked if Hay resi- dents could remain on the li- brary board when Hay Township was not a County Library mem- ber. He was told that particular problem had not been solved, but it was agreed that Hay Township residents, as well as residents in any other non- member municipality, would have to pay for the use of the library facilities in a member municipality. Those living in a member municipality are en- titled to free library service. Elgin Thompson, Tucker- smith reeve, learned that any money presently held by the former library boards may be either turned back to the mu- nicipality or given to the Coun- ty Library Board who would pur= chase books for the municipal- ity's library. It is only when the County Library Board is the purchasing agent that full grants can be received. Morris Reeve Stewart Proc- ter was informed there is no truth in the rumor circulating in his township that a library must be located on a ground floor. Clare Vincent, reeve of Hullett, said the township has no other library than the one at the central school at Landes- boil) and wondered if under the new system, Mullett people could use the library there. He was told it would be 4 matter for the Hullett Township School Lakelet Mr. and Mrs, Robert Angus of Wingharn visited with Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Gadke on Sun- day. Mr, and Mrs. Paul Skaaz of Guelph and Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Reicit and family of Palmerston were Sunday visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Ervin Reidt. Mrs. Nellie Harper, who has been making her home with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Harkness, was moved to Wingham and District Hospital on Tuesday of last week, Miss Chrystal Gadke has se- cured a position with Saugeen Veneer of Hanover and began work there Monday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Barkley of Toronto spent the past week visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Wright.

Vestry meeting at St. Paul's An average attendance turn- ed out for the vestry meeting at St. Paul's Church on Monday evening. Reports showed a fair- ly good year which ended with a balance.

Mr. Procter suggested that each library be sent a budget report guideline to facilitate persons unfamiliar with the pre- paration of financial state- ments. A qualified county librarian must be.engaged, council was reminded. Concluded Duff Thompson, "A tremendous amount of work is necessary to evolve from the Huron County Library Board to the County Library Service." 131 SHIRLEY KELLER GODERICH—In these days when the living is "expensive" rather than easy, the highlight of the road report at the Janu- ary session of Huron County Council was the statement: "It is anticipated that our 1967 budget can be financed without an increase in the 1966 County Road mill rate of 9,3 mills." Engineer James W. Britnell presented the report and told council that people who expect improved roads without in- creased expense are unrealistic, but added that if costs of gra- vel, etc. are in line with1966 prices, the road budget can probably be held for another year. Total road construction in the county during 1966 amount- ed to $410,390 with bridge and culvert building accounting for an additional $246,766.52. Maintenance of roads cost $427r 851.96 with bridge and culvert maintenance expenditures re- ported at $4,444.86. Questions from the floor re- garding the report included one from Clifford R. Dunbar, reeve of Grey who wondered if sand- ing and salting was overdone. He noted the cost of this item alone was $50,184.65. Engineer Britnell told him most people preferred to travel on a skid-free road and that there were no hard and fast rules regarding the amount of sand and salt required to keep them that way. The trial and error method proved the most satisfactory way to determine the quantity of salt and sand to be dumped on county roads, he declared, and said it was left to the discretion of the road foreman and the drivers. Council learned that an item marked "Signs" on the road report and costing $25,784.58 included about $10, 000 for cen- tre line painting. County road markers are now general in the county, reported Mr. Britnell, who said the route markers were necessary because of the increased traffic on county roads. "The average stop sign on a post in the ground is worth $20," he remarked. Specific road work schedul- ed for 1967 includes hot mix paving on seven miles north of Nile; grading on five miles south of Lucknow; grading from Hillsgreen to Highway 84 (two LEBANON CHAPTER HOLDS CONVOCATION At the regular convocation of Lebanon Chapter No. 84, held Tuesday of last week, the following officers were invest- ed: Ex.
