The Wingham Advance-Times, 1969-07-03, Page 10e 10 Wingi*m Advance -Times, Thursday, July 3, 19 Huronview park area to receive additional study BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER The County Development Committee headed up this year by Roy V. Pattison, West Wa- wanosh, did not receive the full endorsement of Huron Coun- ty Council meeting Friday to Modern packaging causes garbage disposal problems BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER Dr. G. P. A. Evans, told Huron County Council Friday that incidents of rabies are on tete rise in Ion. For instance, in May 1968 there was one case of rabies in an animal positive- ly identified. This year in May there were seven positive identifications. He urged that a stray dog bylaw be reviewed by Council as an initial step to- ward curbing the incidence of .rabies. Although it has been diffi- cult for the Huron County Board of Health to find qualified dentists and technicians to work in the fields of preventative . dentistry and sputum c yto log y in the county, Dr. Evans is hopeful these programs will get underway later this year. He termed as "unfortunate" a paper released by the tobacco producers defending their pro- duct. Dr. Evans stressed that on an average, persons who smoke two packs of cigarettes per day have a life expectancy of about eight years less than the non-smoker and the.person who smokes less than half a pack each day can expect to die about four years sooner than the non-smoker. K. A. Childs, manage - ment engineer of the Depart- ment of Health was on hand to discuss proper disposal of garb- age and to review upcoming legislation on the. matter. He said that modern`disposable boxes, cans, bottles, e t c. , were responsible for the enor- mous piles of garbage w i t h which every munici al ty Jriiiyst * deal annually. . spend approximately $20,000 over the next few years to de- velop a park on the ground in front of Huronview near Clinton. The Committee had suggest- ed a program in conjunction with the University of Guelph, whereby the students would in- terview the residents and staff at Huronview to determine the needs, and from this study would prepare plans for a park area, °probably to include lawn, trees, flowerbeds, pools, walk- ways, picnic areas, etc. Wingham Reeve Jack Alex- ander was opposed to such a large expenditure . " We're trying to save money now, " he reminded council. Reeve Borden Cook, Blyth, concurred saying he was in fa- vor of a park area with a few picnic tables, maybe a fount- ain for the kids to get a drink, some swings, ,etc. , something that could be built by the coun- ty alone without too much ex- pense or trouble. Warden James Hayter said a plan was definitely needed "So we know where we're going". Chairman Pattison said the county already had a large in- vestment at Huronview and he thought "another few thousand dollars would be money well spent". Alex McGregor, Tucker - smith, also a member of the committee, stressed the fact that the project would be ac - complished over 10 years. He said he understood it was the duty of the county develop ment committee to see that some development' was made "for the future. Exeter Reeve Derry Boyle said such a plan was "beyond our means" but he did suggest that a few trees by planted each year on the site. The whole matter was re- ferred back to committee for additional study. --Mrs. Miller Davis left for Toronto on Tuesday to take a five -weeks' summer course.
