Dell.rates here up this month Baste telephone rates will ge up in the Wingham exchange this month, Lee Anne Stanley, Bell Canada manager in this area, said. This is because the number of phones in the local calling area of the exchange has outgrown the Present rate group. The increa e, ordered by the Canadian Transport Commission in September, will bring rates Into line With those. charged in other exchanges with a similar number of phones. For example, the monthly rate for two-party residence service Will be 20 conte higher each' month, and the private line resin Bence service 25 cents higher.

The counu J1or explained • that the reason for asking for a:.re- rnovable :cage is that it is� illegal for the ,„,police to transport juveniles Ina cruiser, Because of that, in the past the 'police . have been forced to use their private cars. It is the department's feel- ing that if the caging could be re- moved or was movable, the un- marked car could be used: Council decided in favor of the expenditure. :In his Day Care Committee re- port, Chairman Gillespie brought council up to date on his meetings with Ministry of Community and Social Services officials and members of the Wingham Association for the Mentally Re- tarded concerning the renovation of the town's day care building to accommodate retarded children. Mr, Gillespie said that in recent discussions the Ministry has offered to erect an additional building at a cost of 5200,000 as an _ alternative to going ahead with renovations. It was the chair- man's view that the cost of staff - in and maintenance on two buildings was prohibitive and suggested that council concur with a joint Day Care and WAMR committee in asking that the whole operation be kept in one place. The main body of council was in favor of keeping the facilities under one roof but in Chairman Gillespie's words the problem was "which roof to keep it under". A further thorn in the side of the decision makers was that the new building, which could accommodate 30 day care children and 10 mentally re- tarded children, would com- pietely fulfill the expected needs of.. both progranil. Councillor • Gillespie explained that the WAMR charter only allows them to operate half day facilities and the space used by the WAMR youngsters could be used to fit in twice as many day nursery chil- dren because the Ministry policy is to provide twice as much space per retarded child as they would for other students. The councillor added a sugges- tion that if the new building was erected the old building could be used to house library facilities for the town. The present library I apace, which is pitifully Wide- i (Nate for that purpose, could be b utilized for judges' chambers and i more 'court apace. The teal decided to ask the program be kept in one place. m for a sfiorttiire'eW.

Scouters Martin Cretier and Ken Foxton asked council if they would be willing to approve a grant to help send from five to nine Scouts to the 14th Seout World Jamboree in Norway next summer. Mr. Cretier explained that he was not asking the council to underwrite the total amount needed to send the boys, but rather an assurance that should the Scouts need some moeny, if thpir Fend -raking attempts should fall short, the council would be willing to make up at least part of the difference. t•u,u>ut tw,e vtiirtgi*aru veuui.s have applied for the trip and at !east six of those Scouts have a 75 per cent chance of being accepted after an interview by a regional Scouting panel on November 30. Investigate Hallowe'en was a busy night for members of the Wingham police force, according to Acting Police Chief Ron Zimmer. Police are investigating 17 reports of slashed tires which occurred on Thursday evening on Centre, Shuter and Francis St. as well as a fire which was set in an aban- doned house at the corner of Centre and Alfred St. The acting chief declined to comment on the progress of those two investi- gations. Police charged Wingham resident Ken McEwan with causing a disturbance after a complaint was turned in from the Edward St. area. On the same evening police charged Roger rvine of Wingham with obstruct - ng a police offie following a rief scuffle while' police were nvestigating reports that two men were roaming arm the roof of the Publ a tltilit i, COm iMion building. .TJ The Scout leader said the cost to send the boys is $1,000 each and with the possibility that between six and nine boys could- be accepted the Wingham troop's present finances could not handles the project. The Scouts have about $1,200 in reserve which they have earmarked for the project. Council asked if recent paper drives and Scout projects had increased the cash in the Wing - ham movement's coffers. Mr. Foxton informed the council the last two paper drives only netted enough funds to pay for hauling the paper to Toronto. Councillor Marg Bennett asked if the boys and their parents. could not be expected to help pay. Mr. Cretier said the boys are in- deed working towards paying for a portion of the tab but in some cases the parents can't afford to contribute a large part of the 51,000 needed. Mrs. Bennett suggested that if_ council were to hand over money vandalism Wingham constables were also responsible for turning in two fire calls during the evening. Acting Chief Zimmer said that the department eharged five area people with liquor offences over the week. All five were charged with having liquor in a place other than their residence. On Nov. 2, police charged Paul Johnson of Blyth with careless driving and following too close, after Mr. Johnson slammed into the rear end of a car driven by Kendra MacDonald of Tees - 'ter. The MacDonald car had stopped in front of the IGA store for a red light when the accident oceurred, About $800 damages were estimated, acting ehief also reported that his department had issued four warnings under the Righway Traffic At, charged one man with faille to stop and served 11 sumrons o the past week. ,officer said t of `tie num cases could increasebut a stressed that personalhygiene � iS the °best preventive for the situ-' ration. at- uest for the Scouts then what about other groups who will be re- presenting the town •on trips. She used an upcoming high school trip to Quebec`. as an example. Most of the councillors concurred with the idea that they might be hard pr to justify spending money or .the Scouts, while turning . wn another group. ' Councillor Jack Hayes wanted Mr. Cretier to set a sum that he wanted council to grant. The scouter replied that until Decem- her” 2, when the movement announces which boys meet the requirements, he could not set a figure. He reiterated that he wasn't asking for a "blank cheque" endorsement, simply the offer of some help. He also told council that he would be asking local service clubs for donations to the project. Mr. Cretier said that there wouldn't be enough time between the Dec. 2 announcement date and the July departure date for the boys themselves to raise the money and he was only before council because he didn't want to see boys who qualified for the trip denied the opportunity because the money to send them couldn't be raised. Councillor John Bateson indicated that he felt it was a lot of money to spend on a few boys while others would receive nothing. He was told that every boy in the troop had the op- portunity to apply but only nine boys did so. It became evident that council was confused about the scouters' request and thought they were being asked to underwrite the en- tire difference between what the Scouts might raise and what . was needed. Both Mr.. Cretier and Mr. Foxton tried to explain that was not what they Wilit61141. The couneil finally after issuing Some gloms* words about the movement, that Mr. Cretier should raise the subject at a liter co'til meeting, after he knew how many boys have the chance to go and how much the tOun+ it might have to grant.
