Church Women opened with
28 members and two visitors
sitting down to a delicious

project in its 1 t :1 budget.
Councillors said they felt
the hospital provides a
valuable service and this
would be money well spent.
The hospital is attempting
to raise $100,000 from local
municipalities and has sent
out requests for donations
based on how many patients
some to the hospital. About
five per cent of the patients
come from East Wawanosh,
so that township was asked
to contribute $5,000.
The Ministry of Health has
promised to contribute
$318,000 toward the $500,000
project, which aims at in-
creasing laboratory, physio-
therapy and rehabilitation
department space as well as
adding new offices.
In other business at the
meeting, council agreed to
donate $350 to the Wingham
and District Association for
the Mentally Retarded to
help with the operation of its
programs. Councillor James
Hunter said he thinks it is a
very important organization
andshould be supported.
Council also noted that
children from East
Wawanosh have benefitted
from its programs.
A donation of $10. was
approved for the Huron
County Historical Society
and the annual grant of $500
to the Federation of
Agriculture also was ap-
proved.
Council approved in
principle a proposal by Don
Elliott to start a fish hat-
chery in the.township.
Mr.. ;',Elliott informed
council' in a letter that he
wants to develop the -
bitsiness: on an eight -acre
parcel "of land to be severed

notify adjoining landowners
of the plans. Councillor Neil
Vincent said the project has
been in the wind long enough
that everyone around there
probably knows about it, but
Mr. Hunter added council
should make sure neighbors
are aware of any severance
application.
Council was reminded of
the way some severances
can create problems for
farmers in another matter
brought before it. Councillor
James Taylor, who
previously served as the
township building inspector,
reported that Allan - Walker
wants to fix up the barn on
his Con. 10 farm for -feeder
,pigs, and wondered if he
would need a building per='
mit.
If a permit were required
it could raise diculties, he.
noted, since, the_ farmhouse'
has been severed and the
barn therefore lacks the
mirlimunl sep,a:ration
distance required under the
A�ricultur Code of
Prac •ce.
council that in the
past the, township hasn't
re?uued a building permit
for renovations to an existing
structure, but said he wanted
to check with the rest of
council before giving Mr.
Walker an answer.
Council agreed to stick by
its previous practice and not
require a permit for
renovations.
"A house and barn should
never be severed," Mr.
Taylor declared, adding
,that, "If we have a secon-
dary plan and I have any-
thing to say about it, it will
never happen again."
He also offeredto talk to
the occupants of the house
.and explain what , is: being
proposed, noting that Mr.
Walker wants .to keep every-
thing.above-board and -in f4f'

Earlier in the meeting
councillors .discussed
whether or hot to push ahead
'with the township. secondary
;plan. "Why wouldn't we
'proceed? Mr: Hunter
asked, however Mr. Taylor
told him , the planning
process is "really con-
troversial and confusing",
and .by 'waiting the township,
can learn from the mistakes
of other municipalities.
_Mr. Ballahan..svartied-the-

process is verybine con-
suming and the council Could •

if it decided to go ahead.
Mr. Hunter was the only
new councillor who volun-
teered to attend a new
councillors' seminar to be'
held by the Ministry of Inter-
governmental Affairs in
Stratford next March.
Councillors also were invited.
to attend either the Rural
Ontario Municipal
Association (ROMA) con-
ference or the Good Roads
Convention, both being held
in Toronto in February:
Council approved a trailer
permit fo Dale Hussey, who
asked permission to add
another unit to the trailers he
currently has joined together
as a residence. Council
approved the application on
the understanding the trailer
would form part of the.
existing residence and would
not be a separate living unit.
However council- decided
had no objection to the en=
terprise.
A question was raised
