Family planning program called
'foolish' by county councillor
Reeve Bill Elston of Morris
Township termed a Family
Planning and Conception Control
program grant of $52,500 for
Huron County as "foolishness"
at last Friday's regular session
of county council.
Reeve Elston told council
that $52,500 would "go a long
way toward operating a hos-
pital." He was referring to
recent rumors that one or two
hospitals in Huron County
would be closed by the Ontario
Ministry of -Health in the months
to come.
The grant has been awarded
to the Huron County Board of
Health to operate the family
planning program which has
been so successful in Exeter
and Clinton in recent Months.
Plans now are to begin a
clinic in Wingham.
In other board of health bus-
iness, it was reported that
Huron County's appointees
to the Joint Huron -Perth Steering
committee, District Health
Council, have been named.
They at'e Reeve Ed Oddleifson,
Bayfield, 'chairman of the Huron
County Board of Health; Mrs.
Carl Johnston, Bluevale, rep-
resenting the consumer point
of view; Mrs. Gwen Pemberton,
Bayfield, also consumer point
of view; Dr. .3.K. MacGregor,
Wingham, of the Huron County
Medical Society; Norman Hayes,
Wingham, representing the
Huron County Hospital Planning
Council; Warden Anson Mckinley
Huron County Medical Officer
of Health, Dr. G.F. Mills; and
Mrs. Jeanne Baker, Clinton,
the nursing representative.
The first meeting of the steer-
ing committee is planned for
early December.
County ceuncil approved a
10 percent increase for the
Mail strike fads
to slow tax return
Despite the recent mail strike,
more than 80' per cent of the
municipal taxes of the township
of Stephen for the year 1975 were
paid before the deadline of
November 30.
Clerk Wilmer Wein told
The News Tuesday afternoon
that more than $471,000 of the
total roll of about 5589,000 had
been received by December 3.
Wein added, "Receipts
are really pouring in today
through the mail and by bank
returns. The 80 per cent figure
should go up sharply this week."
Stephen has a large number
of property owners in the lake
front subdivisions near Grand
Bend and a lot of these live out
of the area and must pay their
taxes by mail.
At the first meeting in Dec-
ember, Stephen council members
took steps to update the present
animal control bylaw. Under
new regulations a dog owner
may now be charged for failing
to obtain a township licence
for his animal.
The township is being pat-
rolled by the London Humane
Society. A dog pound at the
Kirkton Veterinary Clinic is
being continued.
After a visit from fire chiefs
Jesse Reed of the Huron Park -
Centralia brigade and Charlie
Browning Jr. of Crediton council

agreed to get prices on new
sirens for the two brigades.
Both chiefs said the type of
siren and their Locations made
it difficult to hear them properly.
Tentative approval was given
to John Remkes to construct
a building of 1,500 square feet
for small engines operation at
part of .Lot 10, Concession 1 at
the intersection of Highway 4
and the Crediton road.
Council has learned that the
present Ministry of Housing
freeze on commercial construc-
tion does not affect a small
building.
Petitions have been received
for three municipal drains and
repairs. A petition for repair
of the downstream portion of
the Keller drain was accepted
and Gamsby and Mannerow of
Guelph were appointed en-
gineers.
C.P. Corbett of Lucan was
named the engineer following
receipt of a petition from Bill
and Ralph Weber, John Twynstra
and Kraft Bros. in the area of
Lot 22, Concession 12 for a closed
drain.
A request from Bert and
Hendrik Brand fol. improvements
along the Ausabte River to stop
flooding has been referred to
the Ausable-Bayfield Conserv-
ation Authority.
