14 tables
in play
at euchre
The monthly euchre was held at

tables in play.
Winners were: first, Edythe
Beacom and Geraldine Dale;

Gertie and Boyd Driscoll. Two
couples tied for six lone hands,
Gloria and Jim McEwing and
Hazel Reid and Delores Howatt.
The next euchre is on Friday,

Huron County's SoCial Services
Department recorded its lowest
caseload, since 1991 in April.
In a report to county council,
Administrator John McKinnon said
an increase in economic activity,
the effects of the Ontario Works
program and legislated changes in
welfare regulations all combined to
drop the caseload to 432 in April
1998 compared to 523 in April
1997. The number of beneficiaries
dropped by 239 from 1,163 last
year to 924 this year.
The report also explained new
welfare applicants must fill in an
application form that can take from
one to three hours to complete,
depending on the size of the family.
As well social services staff have
an obligation to inform new clients
that heir first priority under
Ontario Works is to secure employ-
ment.

Pat Down, former Usbome Twp.
reeve, has been appointed as a citi-
zen representative on the Huron
County Library Board. Down was
one of three people short-listed

ing advertisements placed in county
newspapers. The three were inter-
viewed by a committee before
Down was chosen.

The Huron County Health Unit
will take the lead in co-ordinating
the eight hospitals in Huron and
Perth Counties for developing poli-
cies and procedures to address the
problem of antibiotic resistant
organisms in the hospitals.
Following an infection of an
antibiotic-resistant bacteria earlier
this year at Alexandra Marine and
General Hospital in Goderich, a
meeting of all hospitals was held.
The health unit was requested to
co-ordinate the effort to adopt
screening procedures and ways to
deal with the problem.
Grey Twp. council held its
regular meeting on July 6 and
accepted tenders for several
construction projects.
The tender of Joe Kerr Limited
amounting to $20,588 for the
reconstruction of Conc. 3-4 from
County Rd. 19 to the Grey/Elma
boundary was the lowest of four
tenders received. Construction was
expected to commence this week.
The quote of Lavis Contracting
It was pointed out that although
the Goderich hospital used similar
procedures to those used in Toronto
and Kingston hospitals during the
outbreak, it creates many more
problems in a smaller hospital that
has fewer specialized areas than
large city hospitals.
of $184,850 for the paving of
approximately 5.85 kilometres was
accepted.
The Cranbrook sideroad from
Cranbrook to Conc. 15-16 will be
paved along with Conc. 7 - 8, Lots
1 to 5. The paving is expected to be
complete by the end of September.
A grant of $1,500 was made to
the Cranbrook Cemetery board to
assist with the repair of monument
bases.
