. ReAve Bob Lyons presided.
A representative group of4
village residents and trustees
from Auburn attended the
Council meeting to discuss 'the
running -at -large of dogs in. the
' village, particularly one or two
vicious dogs. After much con=
sideration as to what should be
the proper course to ofollow it
was decided that the Village
Trustees would .ask the Village
of Blyth for a copy of their dog
by-law, and the Township
Clerk „would contact Dick.

what would be involved in ob-
taining his services as Dog Con-

19 Concession 8. Mr. Cameron

checked to see if a drain has

struction work.

by Councillors Hickey and
Foran, and carried.

to step into
fertilizer plan
Murray Gaunt, M.P.P.
(Liberal Agriculture Critic) has
called upon the Provincial
Government to give top priority
• to developing our own self-
reliant fertilizer industry.
"Our farmers are entirely
dependent on fertilizer .to in-
crease production sufficiently
to feed our own people, and,
continue to ' maintain 'our
present ,level of exports',, . said
Mr. Gaunt. "Fertilizer is the
cornerstone of the Green
.Revolution, but there is a
world-wide shortage and prices
have skyrocketed. Farmers' can-
not absorb the increased costs
of fertilizers production, and
ultimately the effects will be
felt by Canadian consumers in
the form of higher food prices,
There is an obvious' shortage,
especially of nitrogen, in On-
tario, yet. large amounts of fer-
tilizer have been ah'ipped to the
U.S. in spite of:the fact that the
industry had' undertaken to en,
sure'•Canada';s needs are met on
a priority basis.'
'.'The Provincial Minister of
Agriculture maintains we can-
not be too tough about exports,
because we depend on the U.S.
for our phosphorus supplies,
but no government in ifs right
mind would refuse to supply
Canada with one ingredient for
fertilizer,"when they are depen
dent upon us for the other two
vital ingredients.
"Recently Russia and, the
U.S. have entered ' into
reciprocal agreements regar-
ding fertilizer needs, and 'the
States will be selling
phosphorus to Russia . in,return"
for anhydrous . ammonia.
Canada should not continue to
depend on other countries for
raw materials necessary to fer-
tilizer production. We have our
own sources of phosphorus, in
the Rockies, Northern Ontario
and the Shield of Eastern
Canada.. In, fact:• there used to
be a thriving phosphorus in-
dustry in the Perth area.
"The .Minister of Agriculture
should, and must, give very
high priority to the develop-
ment of a self-reliant fertilizer
industry in this country, in co-
operation "with the Federal
Government."
Messrs. Wm. Hardy and Ed-
ward Robinson. appeared before
Council to ask about having the „
creek running through Lots
25,26,27 Concession 7 and 8
cleaned out. Mr. Hardy was ad
vised to contact Sam Bradshaw
of the Ministry of Agriculture
and Food in Clinton, to deter-
mine the, best procedure to be
taken in this regard.
JWm. Beversbergen ap-
proached Council about the,
inefficient function of a road
culvert on Concession 10-11 in
front of his property. .
A resolution from the Region
of Peel, regarding violence in
minor hockey in Ontario was
tabled, since Council felt that
ad the Hockey Association is
already dealing with the sub-
ject, such a resolution in un-
necessary.
An. application for Tile
Drainage Loan on the S 1/2 of
Lot 21 Concession was ap-
proved on motion of Coun-
cillors Rutherford and Foran.
A motion that West
Wawanosh Township request
an additional subsidy

health and well-being.
if we are watching our
weight and eat well, we shall
help to keep our health," Mrs.
Tate stated.
Mrs.. Tate said Canada has
more people in institutions
than any other country. "Is in-
stitutional care what we want
for ourselves?" she asked and
warned that we should be plan-
ning for the future to get the
environment we want.
Chester A. Archibald, Huron -
view Administrator, said
retirement at a certain- age has
encouraged the general attitude
that at that age people are
ready for the boneyaird or to,
take it easy in their declining
years.
Concluding his talk, Mr. Ar-
chibald said, "I think we have
to convince retired people
themselves and those ap-
proaching retirement of their
continuing personal worth.
Retirement is not an ending
but merely a transition into a
new phase of life and if we plan
it as carefully as we plan the
work .phase it` can be not only
funbut downright soul
satisfying."
Mr. Archibald reminded his
audience that retirement can
mean the start of a new life --
that some of the great figures of
history made theirgreatest con-
tributions to mankind after the
age at which we fate retirement
today.
Mrs. Ann Redmond,
Goderich, a volunteer for many
years, was the final panelist. As
a volunteer co-ordinator w,ho
had organized 500 volunteers
for the Psychiatric Hospital at
Goderich, she spoke of pepple
taking leadership when they
realized volunteers. were
needed in the hospital.
In the question and answer
period following the panel, Mr.
Archibald reminded the
audience' that when people are
admitted to a nursing or county
home they should not be forgot-
ten. It is exceedingly important
they are visited and retain a
.connection with their old com-
munity. °
, Some of the suggestions put
forth_by the audience included -
- adopt' 'a grandparent; en -
1
couraging young people to visit
ancltiossibly assist -older people
in their homes so that they may
manage without having to be
admitted to a Home; have
older people with their many
experiences " share their
knowledge (such as teaching
knitting, describing bld ways of
doing things, etc) with young
people; telephone chains to
those living alone; and identify
with older people, give them a
sense of dignity and they will
respond and something will
come out so that •they won't
just sit.
Mrs. Fran McHale, London,
supervisor of senior citizens'ac-
tivi'ties, Department . of
Recreation in London, was the
guest ?peaker. She said, Canada
is fast becoming an aging
society but it is ill-prepared to
face up to this situation
because of its negative attitude
toward aging in general. She
said aging is still.aperceived in
terms of loss, rather than a
biological as well as
psychological and sociological
process that varies tremen-
dously from one individual to
another.
She urged that people would
be better off' if they lived livres
of involvement and- purpose to
sustain them after all illusions
have been lost and passion
cooled.
Mrs. McHale spoke of young
people as 'great new allies' in
working with older people.'
"Young people' and old people
have much in comon," she
said.
Mrs. McHale spoke of the
New'Horizons program started
in 1972 by the federal govern-
ment when $10 million was
made available' for non -
repayable grants to groups of
retired persons. She said this, is
an invitation to inyolvemen`t
and explained how to apply for
, such a grant which is available
for almost any activity which
will usefully and creatively in-
volve retired people, meets
their needs -and benefits them
or their community.
Mrs. McHale said there is
only one absolutely.: reliable
