Man Proceed to Build Addition At
Huronview; Will Call Tenders Soon
GODERRICH — Construction
of an addition to Huronview
home is expected to commence
early in the new year. when
costs, as the architects pointed
out to county council, are less
than in the later part of the
year. Approval of the Ontario
Municipal Board has been re-
ceived in connection with the
plans, and council is authorized
to call for tenders. The board
of management report, present-
edto council on Monday by
Reeve Elgin Thompson, Tuck-
ersmith, accordingly recommen-
ded — and obtained—approval
of council for the architects to
proceed with specifications and
working drawing. Tenders will
be presented at the January
session.
Cost of the addition, which
is to provide 75 beds, was ten-
tatively set at $550,000. Reeve
F. A. Cliff, Bayfield, enquired
if there lead been any change,
and Don Snider, of Snider,
Huget & Barch, said: "We have
increased it, but how much it is
difficult to say. We hope to
build early in the year, when
costs are not as great as at
the present time.”
Board chairman Thompson
said the department had agreed
that the newest addition would
be tied together with present
buildings by means of an ad-
ministration wing.
"By having the administra-
tion area located in such a posi-
tion," he said, "it was our feel-
ing that we would save consid-
erable money as far as office
staff is concerned; also it makes
it much more convenient for
the general public, who will
,have only one main entrance
to go into when they visit the
Home. This joint link is a won:
derful thing.
"There has been great dis-
cussion regarding structure of
the roof, in view of such poor
results over past years. We
looked at a 1of of roofs the
past week. Our proposed struc-
ture is basically a roof pitched
from outside to centre on a
scale of approximately eight
inches to 20 feet, the centre
core area having a slight pitch
from the administration wing
to northern extremities."
Mr. Snider showed a relief
plan and blueprint. Ground
floor will contain the adminis-
tration office. nurses' station,
elevator and stair tower. The
second, virtually the same, will
provide nurses' stations, doc-
tors' examination room, doc-
tors' office, nurses' office, sit-
ting room and board room.
Superintendent Harvey John-
ston reported 44 admissions to
date this year, with 30 deaths
and three discharges.
"We have a large number of
applications," he said. "Our
married couples' rooms are fill-
ed, and some are in the bed
care section."
Reeve Clifford Dunbar, Grey,
asked: "Is the ground floor sat-
isfactory for bed care?"
"Yes, it has worked out sat-
isfactorily," replied Mr. John-
ston. "We keep people down
there who do not need a great
deal of care. Since we opened
that part •(formerly used by
staff) there was some objection,
part being underground, but
more want to go down there
now than we have room for."
Deputy Reeve Robert Squire,
Goderich, asked if it would be
feasible to have a full basement
in the stew part.
"The first floor of oir new
pari," Mr. Johnston explained,
"is on the same level as our
ground floor now, so any base-
ment in the new part would be
practically all below ground
level." He added that he
thought sufficient help would
be obtainable for the addition.
"A great many" Hu+ronview
employees have been given sal-
ary increases, as a result of
changes in the Minimum Wage
Act. Some increases are retro-
active to January, others on the
anniversary date of employ-
ment, and further increases
will be forthcoming, Reeve
T
ho m p s o n said, as further
changes in the Act become ef-
fective in December.

Horse Show ::iso
Highlight Fair
A highlight of the Zurich Fall
Fair every year has been the
Horse Show, and this year's
show has been carefully plan-
ned to satisfy the most discern-
ing horsemen.
The time is fastapproaching,
and may even be here, when
the only place you will see a
fine horse is at a fair or some
other show. The widespread
use of tractors and like ma-
chinery has made the horse al-
most obsolete on the farm. Even
country born children stretch
their necks to see a horse.
The horse show committee,
Bert McBride, Allan Armstrong,
William Decker and A. Grenier,
have lined up a show that will
be hard to beat. The prize
money is adequate to draw
many competitors.
In addition to the usual
classes, there will again be the,
fun -filled eontests which are
always crowd pleasers, such as
musical chairs, flag race, and
pony race.

C'EN'TRE OF CONTR()V3!.RSEY — The announcement
last week that the Canadian National Railways plan to close
this station at Hensall has stirred up businessmen in both
Hensall and Zurich, to the point where a public meeting was
scheduled for last night in the Hensall Town Hall, to discuss
the matter and prepare a formal protest to CN officials. The
Hensall station has been rated as one of the busiest in west-
ern Ontario, due largely to the three grain and bean dealers
located there. All the mill operators have expressed com-
plete dissatisfaction with the plan, claming the service will
not be adequate without a station in operation,
