The Blyth Standard, 1974-08-14, Page 1tie standa BLYTH, ONTARIO PRICE: 15 CENTS VOLUME 84 - NO. 32 County officials resist proposal for regional health council Huron County Council last Monday rejected the Report of the Health Planning Task Force of Ontario, (called the Mustard Report), which recommends sweeping changes in health care services. A report from the county board of health stated that the Mustard report recommen- dations, if implemented, would bring loss of local autonomy and confusion of existing health care services. The Mustard report proposes creation of about 35 district health councils to direct public health policies in the province, Huron County would be included in a district with Perth, Middlesex, Oxford and Elgin Counties which would have a population of about 550,000. The health " board noted that other proposed districts would have smaller populations, Grey and Bruce has 114,000, Lambton-Kent has 206,000, and Dufferin- Wellington has 136,000. The district which would include Huron County was termed "impractical". "if the district, as proposed, is implemented, Huron will barely be recognized, the board of health stated. It recommended that the district be altered to assure the county adequate representation on a 1S -member district health council appointed by the provincial health ministry. County council learned that the board of health and hospital 'boards would have little authority if the proposed district councils are created. Doctors would be unable to practise in an area without the consent of its- district council, the board of health stated; • Before county council accepted the board of • health's report, thus rejecting the Mustard Report, Dr, Robert Walker, the Ontario health ministry co-ordinator for southwestern Ontario, answered questions from council members and the public, Clerk -treasurer John Berry asked him to justify the size of the district that would include Huron County. Dr. Walker said the proposed districts have not been created yet and the province wants to get constructive criticism about them. Earlier, he had said that districts had to be big enough to contain complete services. • Josephine Berry, president of the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital Women's Auxiliary said the Mustard Report proposes to take hospitals away from communities, They would -no . longer be "our hospitals", she said, resulting in a lack of volunteer workers. Volunteers give county hospitals about $20,000 in equipment and many hours of their time annually, she said. Most hospitals now receive almost 100 per cent of their funds from the province, Dr. Walker said. Volunteers should not feel that district health councils would take their hospitals away, .he said.' Chief county public health inspector Jim McCaul said that district councils would disband county health. units, the only preventative health agencies. The Mustard Report has been criticized for being sickness -oriented instead of preventive - oriented. Dr. Walker said that health unit personnel would become part of a total health care system recommended in the report. Goderich Deputy Reeve • Stan Profit asked what advantages district health councils would have over existing systems. If health councils arc created, they would prevent duplication of services and co-ordinate different areas of health care, Dr. Walker said. Executive director of the Wingham and District Hospital Norman Hayes asked why more district health councils are proposed when the four in operation have not been appraised yet. Thecouncils in operation take four different approaches to health care, but more approaches should be examined, Dr. Walker said. Council heard critical presentations from several persons who head bodies which would be affected by Mustard Report proposals. Reeve of Bayfield and member of the county board of health Ed Oddleifson said he attended a meeting in Ottawa recently of representatives from county health boards in Ontario. The representatives concluded, Mr, Oddlcifson said, that district health councils would increase costs, discourage volunteer help, cause increased bureauc- racy and be sick rather than health -orient- ed. Representatives also criticized the researchers of the report for not gathering information from people already working in CONTINUED ON PAGE 16 Meeting on Memorial Hall' Thursday MEMORIAL HALL A special meeting of Village Council on Thursday night will hear details of a proposal to renovate Memorial Hall. The meeting will involve members of council, the engineer for the project, Art Clark of Wingham and D. Stuckey of Venture Construction of Wingham who has made the bid on the project. The Venture bid was one of two considered by Blyth Council on Monday night at the regular council meeting. Another bid from a company interested in strengthening the present roof was rejected. The Venture bid called for tearing off the old roof as in the earlier specifications and completely replacing it. The only variation from the original specifications as that Venture would supply the trusses for the new roof instead of having the town acquire them, The offer for the project was $30,000 plus the cost of renting a crane for an estimated cost of $31,500. The lowest bid received in the original tendering in June was $47,000. The work on the project would be done by a group of Amish farmers. Council decided to meet with Mr. Stuckey before going farther on the project.

Officials say arena needs 11 toilets for licensing regulations If Health Unit and Ontario Liquor Licencing Board officials have their way there will be no food or drink served at Blyth Community Centre (arena) in future without major renovations to the building. Blyth village council received a letter from the Huron County Health Unit at its Monday night meeting outlining altera- tions requir' d. The recommendations were made following an inspection of the building by T. Flaherty, and inspector for the L.L.B.O. According to Mr. Flaherty the arena has floorspace to hold some 900 persons at dances and banquets that are licensed. For such a crowd vastly larger washroom facilities are required according to Health Unit and L,L,B.O. regulations. According to the letter the men's washroom would be required to have six urinals and live toilets as well as five wash basins. The women's washroom would be required to have ! 1 separated toilets and five basins. At present there are only one toilet and one urinal in the men's room and two toilets in the women's. Each has one wash basin. There has been only one event in recent years that has been licensed to sell licquor, a dance several weeks ago sponsored by the Lions Club which was limited to only 400 persons. Local spokesmen tried to explain that facilities for 900 were hot needed when only 400 tickets were sold but the officials stuck to the 900 figure. The letter also called for individual soap and towel supplies, hot water supply, waste containers, external exhaust sys- tems. it required that the kitchen have three sinks for use for preparing food and another for hand washing and have soap supply, towel supply, better cupboards and a host of other smaller details. ,lust to make things tougher to fulfill the letter pointed out that even if the new facilities were installed a new and larger septic tank system would have to be installed. 'i'he report also called for panic hardware on all doors, more emergency exit lights, improved dressingrom facilities. The majority opinion of the councillors CONTINUED ON PAGE 16 PG.2.

The plans were designed by Gordon Duern of Clinton. No cost estimate has been given but work could begin this fall. --courtesy of Clinton News -Record Morris deals with routine business The August meeting of Morris township council proved to be another quiet housekeeping meeting. James Mair was appointed to look after repairs to the Grant municipal drain. Thomas Miller was named to look after repairs to the McDonald, Kelly and McCut- cheon drains. A new by-law to restrict and regulate the destruction of trees by burning, cutting or other means was received from the county clerk. A donation of $45 was given towards Seaforth Community Hospital. Charles Johnston was present from the Bluevale Cemetery Board requesting a donation and $100 was given. General accounts of $5,191.56 and road accounts of $28,656,39 were approved for payment. THIS 'N' THAT They've got your number Residents of Blyth will soon have a street address to help people find their homes more easily. The street numbers are being assigned by the Maitland Tele- services Ltd. it was learned at Blyth council meeting Monday night. The street numbers, along with the new street signs, should make it easier for strangers (and some of us locals too) to find their way around town. The street addresses, however, will have nothing to do with mail service as they arc in some larger centres. ***** Councillors Monday night ex- pressed concern over an old house on McConnell Street which they feel is a death trap just waiting to spring on someone, The old house has not been occupied for years and is in such a poor state of repairs that councillors would like to see it torn down as is happening to some other old buildings in town, Action is to be taken against the owners of the house to see that something is done before some youngster is hurt playing in the building. ***** Those who enjoyed the pork barbecue sponsored by the Agricultural Society last year will get a chance to feast again on August 24 when the second pork barbecue is held. It will be in conjunction with the local 441 achievement day and there will be games for the local children as there was last year, ***** A new proposed minimum lot size has come down from the county planning department, It calls for a minimum lot size of 65 feet by 132 feet for village lots, a total of 8500 square feet. People in Blyth don't have to worry, though, since lots are already laid out at 66 feet by 165 feet. ***** The new storm sewer through the eastern section of town is estimated at a cost of $65,000 and work is expected to get underway this fall.

"My reign as the first Miss Ontario Pork Hostess began eight months ago at the Royal Winter Fair, 1 am enjoying every minute of it and it is indeed a most unique and rewarding experience." "As a representative for the Pork Producers of Ontario 1 attend many events. The Candian Restaurant Show, Ontario Pork Producers Annual Meeting, T.V. appearances, seminars, meetings and fairs arc a few of the highlights of the past few months. Each event is different and thus I have the opportunity of meeting a wide variety of people such as newspaper men, T.V. personaliti- ties, home economists and business men. "At the events where pork is featured I perform a wide range of functions. As a hostess I attempt to make people feel welcome by getting them and discussing informally my role and my knowledge of pork cookery. also play more formal role by delivering speeches or assisting Kay Spicer, the home -economist and Arthur Buck, a specialist in meat cutting, in demonstrations. "My experiences as Ontario Pork Hostess are not all serious. Some of the comments and questions people express are indeed very humorous. A typical ' statement is, 'you'll get a disease if you cat uncooked pork,' or 'pork must be cooked well to kill the germs'. Some people ask if • 'ham is from a pig' or 'how do you get the fat strips in the bacon and why don't you put more meat in the slices'. Ladies from weight watchers want to know why pork RURAL ROUNDUP NFU SAYS GOVERNMENT DECEITFUL Canadian dairy farmers are probably the first recipients of broken, deceitful federal election promises, according to Andrew Kittmer of Lakeside, Ontario. Mr. Kittmcr, president of Local 341, National Farmer's Union, was referring to the announcement of Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan increasing the returns to milk producers by only 91 cents per cwt. He said farmers have every reason to feel dejected by Mr. Whelan's announcement, because it is "pretty small potatoes" compared to the $1.50 per cwt. they were led to believe would be available before the election. Before the election, Mr. Kittmcr said, a group of Cabinet Ministers said a re-elected Liberal government would move immediately to "Raise industrial milk prices high enough to offset increases in production costs." "To give farmers cost of production plus a return on his labour," Mr. Kittmer claims, "the price would have to be raised by $5.90 per cwt., and now they dribble out 91 cents." He said he has figures to show the cost of producing 100 pounds of milk is $14.40 per cwt., and neither Mr. Whelan nor the Canadian Dairy Commission disputed those figures when they were recently presented to them. TRANSPORT REGULATIONS ON FARM EQUIPMENT The operation of large farms and rented land often means that farm equipment must travel at least some distance on provincial roads and highways, "While items of farm equipment are usually not considered to be motor vehicles under the law, they arc vehicles, and as such must follow the regulations," says the general manager of the Farm Safety Association, D.E. Brown. The use of slow-moving vehicle signs (SMV's) has been adopted by most Ontario farmers. SMV's must be attached to the rear of every farm tractor or self-propelled implement or any vehicle (such as grain and forage wagons) being hauled by either of these implements. "Statistics show that these signs have helped to reduce the number of serious accidents caused on the road by rear -end collisions," says Mr, Brown. Regulations for maximum size limitations of farm equipment have also been described in the Highway Traffic Act. Single vehicles, such as the flat-bed truck, must be no longer than 35 feet including the load. A combination of vehicles • tractor and wagon or tractor and plow - should not exceed 65 feet in length. The maximum width for either single or combination vehicles cannot exceed 102 inches. "If your farm equipment cannot be made to comply with the regulations, over size/overweight permits are available from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications," says Mr. Brown. These permits are valid for one year from the date of issue at no cost to farmers. Adequate lighting is required for traveling at night or when driving conditions are poor. Tractors equipped with an electrical lighting system must carry two headlights and one red rear light. Implements or wagons towed by a tractor should also carry a red light at the rear. If the combination of two vehicles is longer than 20 feet, the overall size of the machinery must be indicated by showing a green or amber light on each side of the front and a red light on each side of the rear. Approved reflectors may also be used instead of these rear lights. NEW BANKING DIMENSION "New Dimensions in Agricultural Banking" is the theme for a two-day conference on agricultural credit scheduled here October 28 and 29, the Canadian Bankers' Association has announced, Representatives from all levels of government, banking, farmers' associations and agriculture -related business have been invited to attend for discussion of mutual problems, to work towards a more rational structuring of farm credit resources, and to explore new concepts and techniques in the extension of farm credit. Sessions include a general discussion on the theme, "Agricultural credit legislation - who benefits?" and workshop sessions on cow -calf financing, legal aspects of agricultural lending, "outlook as it relates to financing various agricultural enterprises", feeder cattle financing, "hedging - its place in agricultural finance" and computerized accounting systems for farmers. Other topics are financing requirements for "exotic" beef cattle in Canada, buying versus leasing, farm mortgage legding, "farm mortgage insurance - would it attract private funds?", the U.S. experience, "has the Farm Improvement Loans Act outlived its usefulness?" and the conference "in perspective. as first THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 14, 1974. PG.3. pork hostess is not used on menus for diets. As can be concluded from these statements, the general public needs an updated education on the new pork available on to days market. "My experiences as Ontario Pork Hostess do not cease when remove my banner and tiara. When my friends and acquaint- ances discover my title, i am often the subject of some good natured fun and jest. Since November I have acquired a pig collection that includes Toy pigs, pig ornaments, posters, stickers and • pins that discuss that topic of pork in some way or form. This collection has been donated to me by my good friends. They also jest me with different jokes and nicknames. This, as well as the peoples first reaction when they hear my title, is part of the fun of being the first Ontario Pork Hostess. "Although these young people jest about my title they are very interested in nutrition as a whole and the part that pork can play in their menus. Young and old, weight watchers, housewives, gourmet cooks, they are all genuinely interested in pork and in the way it can be incorporated into their daily dict or as a special treat for a holiday festivity. Through my experiences as Ontario Pork Hostess i am learning many valuable lessons. Although my knowledge about pork production and pork cookery has increased,' I do not consider this to be the most important aspect of my reign, "Meeting people in different situations is something I. really enjoy and value. Through the respect and interest that is shown to me as a pork hostess I am gaining a self confidence that will be valuable in future years. I am looking forward to my last four months as Ontario Pork Hostess, since I'm already invited to participate in a number of events. "I hope that the person that succeeds me enjoys her 'reign as much as 1 do and that she gains as much personal satisfaction repre- senting the Pork Producers of Ontario." ******** If an industrial plant is comtemplated there is no one who doubts that a great amount of money is needed for capital to build the plant, as well as for equipment and for raw materials. When it comes to farms those sane economic planners expect farmers to somehow fiance their finance their operation from nothing. In Canada we have a system of government -backed loans. One of these is the farm improvement loan. This would give the farmer a loan for updating his operation at a favourable interest rate, and the government will guarantee the banker that he will get his money back if the farmer is unable to do so. the trouble with this scheme is the higher interest rates that banker can get elsewhere. Why should the bank give a loan to the farmer when he can get four percent more elsewhere for his money? It's just a paper measure without any meaning in today's money market. I'ni curiously awaiting what, if any, program the federal government will come up with for young farmers to get 'started, as promised during the election, ******** It will be good advice to stock up that freezer with meat now and keep it full, for beef and pork prices are bound to rise. I base this prediction on the increase in feed costs. In the last four weeks food grain prices increased by 21 per cent and soyabean meal prices by no less than 61 per cent, This can only mean lower beef and pork production. At todays livestock prices it is just as, or even more profitable to sell the grain that to feed it to livestock, at the same time eliminating the risks connected with livestock production and the labour involved.

UNITED CO-OPERATIVES OF ONTARIO BELGRAVE MUNCH 357.2711 r ' $$$44S3 PG.4. THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 14, 1974. -Editorial Let's put economy in recreation Some day soon Blyth will have a nice new recreation facility thanks to the efforts of the Lions Club. The Lions are just beginning a campaign to raise money for a new swimming pool for the residents of the Blyth community, both those in the village and in the surrounding townships, It's a big task and one that will need the full support of the ' ommunity if it is to be successful. We support whole-heartedly the attempt of the Lions to provide this important new facility. At the same time it seems Blyth is guilty of some of the shortsightedness that affects many of the other communities of smaller size. We are anxious to supply the glamousous expensive facilities like arenas and swimming pools, but we overlook smaller, less expensive recreation facilities that could bring pleasure to many at small cost. Both the arena and the new swimming pool, for instance not only cost a great deal to build in the first place but require heavy subsidization because they have high maintenance and supervision costs. Let's look at some other facilities by comparison: Nearly all present recreation facilities are geared to the young and the swimming pool will serve mostly the youngsters also. But what about the adults from 20.90, For them there is little. For a few dollars, however, horse-shoe pits could be built somewhere in town and bring pleasure for many, both senior citizens and younger people. More expensive. but of use to adults of all ages, would be the building of a lawn•bowling green. Nearly all towns the size of Blyth have such facilities. Year ago Blyth had a green too but through lack of interest it disappeared. But interest goes in cycles and it is likely that they would find a wide new interest. Another facility that Blyth aid most other towns had but lost is tennis courts. The cost of constructing courts is moderate. Upkeep is very small. Yet the courts can serve the whole spectrum of the populatio from youth to seniors. Tennis is a sport that is booming in popularity throughout Canada because it is cheap, can be played by all ages, and is excellent for building physical fitness. So of course• is a swimming pool, and for the benefit of physical fitness it is an important addition to the community. So lets support the Lions and help raise the money to build the new facilities. But let's also look at some of the other facilities that will bring hours of enjoyment at relatively low cost. Now, wasn't it easy? The quietness and swiftness of the change in leadership in the United States last week impressed many people. Not that they should really have been surprised. Only months ago former vice-president Spiro Agnew acknowledged he was guilty of taking kickbacks on government contracts while he had been Governor of Maryland and resigned as vice-president. The situation was in some ways more difficult that the resignation of President Nixon because when the V.P. resigned he had no immediate replacement. When Nixon resigned last week his successor was ready to step into his shoes immediately. Yet after the initial shock of having a vice president admit he was guilty of corruption in government there was surprisingly little comotion as the new man, Gerald Ford was chosen and installed. The same quiet change was seen in the U.S. last week when Nixon resigned and Ford stepped in as the 38th president of the United States. After two years of upheaval, of doubt over the honesty of the man who ran the country, the resignation and appointment of a new president seemed to cause only a giant sigh of relief across the U.S. that at last it was over. Hatred for Nixon changed in many cases to pity, and Americans seemed grateful to suddenly have a president they could all support. The fears of the American people had once again been proven baseless. Much of the support Nixon had received for continuing in office had been based, not on the belief that he was innocent but in the mistaken fear that something terrible might happen to the country if he resigned or was impeached. His defenders, men such as Father John McLaughlin, played on this fear to help him hang on as long as he did. It seems strange that the U.S., of all nations, should be subject to this paranoid fear of the uncertainty of change. This was the nation that was born of a revolution, one of the first nations in the world to have had such an experience. This was the nation that formed a republic at a time when other nations were ruled by monarchies. It was a nation that had a written constitution when no other nation had. Throughout the nearly 200 years of its history, the U`.S. has become the world's most powerful nation partyly on the strength of its natural resources, but more on its flexibility, its ability to accept and adapt to change. Some people feared that the Watergate scandals might be showing the weakening of the republic, the inevitable deterioration that strikes all great powers sooner or later. Rather, it seems the Watergate scandals show the strength of the U.S., that it is willing to dig out the corruption that other nations seem willing to live with. The weakness that could Icad to the downfall of the nation, however, is that fear of change, that inflexibility that made many Americans prefer to live under a corrupt administration rather than chance a change in leadership. Americans must fear this most. standard KEITH & JILL ROULSTON Co -Publishers Published every Wednesday at Queen St., Blyth, Ontario. Subscription rates iin advance) Canada, $6.00 .

Don't worry, I'm not going to put her in the basement and cover her with fresh cement. That's old-fashioned, and. you usually get caught. I'm going to put her in that attic, with a gag in her mouth, rolled up in a piece of that roofing that will be left over after shingling job, which she ordered. Now, I've nothing against women, particularly, though i have generally, and nothing against roofers at all, though they charge too much and get ,you involved in all sorts of side issues like louvres and insulation aid squirrels, I know what a squirrel is, aid I've a vague idea about insula- tion, but I haven't a clue about louvres, 1 thought it was some kind of an art gallery in Paris, but it turns out to be a couple of holes up around the roof so the air can circulate. It's not that my wife has an extra big mouth for a woman, but every time she opens it, it cost me money. I had a perfectly. straightforward deal with a roofer to put on a roof. That's what roofers are for, besides taking them off. Admittedly, not many people call up a roofer and say, "i'd like my roof taken off." But, as a rule, they take off the old one before they put on the new one. OK? That's when they Old Battleaxe opened her mouth. "What about the insulation?" She wouldn't know an insultation if it bit her on the kneecap, but she has this subconscious desire to be an engineer, Sunset near Walton About my wife and Coco -Cola The roofer is a fine fellow, but he wasn't going to argue with a lady. He agreed that you can't have too much insulation. Then he said, "I guess you'd want a couple of louvres?" i just nodded, numbly. A couple of art Museums? Fine. Might as well go for the works. There. I've disposed of my wife, aid I feel better already. The blood is beginning to recede from niy head and go back to its norntan channels. But I have a few other people to dispose of, so let's get on with it. How about Coca-Cola? 1 can feel the blood mounting again. Perhaps it's a mistake taking on both my wife and Coca-Cola in the same column. They are both undisposable, if not undispensi• ble, But my wife is much more formidable. Anyway. There is this fellow, Donald Burwash who works for Coca-Cola Ltd. He is a pouncer. Not a bouncer, which we don't need when we're dealing with soft drinks, but a pouncer. Whenever he sees the word Coke written with a small "c", he ft;unces. He doesn't get hysterical, but he docs get a bit stuffy. He pounced on a column of nine recently in which sacrile• gious word was usecl twice with a small "c". Two of the more than 100 papers using this column sent me along his hurt Teter of protest, Hi, Harry Stemp of the Lake Simcoe Advocate, and Hi, Mrs. Brcbner of the Mcaford Express. hope old Burwash didn't write the sane letter to all the other editors, I'm sure, if he did, that most of the letters wound up in the trash -can. I won't bore you with brother Burwash's whole letter, which was almost identical in both cases (sorry, Donald), because it is a very boring letter. But here's a sample: "Coke" distinguishes and identifies only the product of this Company (large "e") and we must of necessity be diligent in safeguarding it against improper use lest inadvertently, it loses its distinctiveness and significance." How about that? "Of necessity"? "Diligent in safe- guarding"? "inadvertently"? CONTINUED ON PAGE 16 Free enterprise and inflation One of the facinating things about Canada is the way we can twist the free enterprise system for our own purposes. Nearly all Canadians will say piously if they are asked that they believe in free enterprise. Yet the moment free enterprise begins to hurt them 0 little, they want to change the rules. The urban wnsumer, for instance, for years has complained about subsidies to farmers. Let the farmer compete in the market place under f'rce enterprise rules, the consumer says. Now, however, with food costs risen -sharply in the past few years, the consumer wants government Interference in the marketplace. to lower food costs. And indeed to lower the cost of everything. People want, even demand, the government do something about the high cost of food, clothing, houseing, oil, nearly everything. But it is the people, under the free enterprise system that have the power to most effect the cost of living. The basic clement of free enterprise is the law of apply and demand. it provides the answer to the present problems bf inflation, and the explanation of why inflation continues strong. very simply, though people complain, they are still wealthy enough to be willing to continue to buy record numbers the goods at any cost. As long as people continue to demand goods, the cost will continue to rise. The kill inflation all you have to do is get along without these until the price comes down, This little piggy went to market Next month will sec the first anniversary of the establishment of the Ontario Pork Producers marketing Board assembly yards in Blyth. By then cnouph hogs will have gone through the yards to meet the needs of the residents of Blyth and arca for about 50 years. Each week since the yards opened 500 or more hogs have been brought in from farms throughout the northern half of Huron county, assembled into its for purchase by packing houses anti loaded onto transport trucks for shipment to the packing houses and thus to the meat counters across the province, The system works quickly and smoothly now, but, it wasn't always so. , This history of hog marketing in Ontario goes back to the old railway depots of the local shipping clubs more than 40 years ago, explains James Boynton, executive secretary of the Ontaio Pork Producers Association for the past 18 years. The Chesley•arca farmer explained that in the clays when all shipping was done by rail the clubs used to organize to provide a depot at each railway stop. Later the arrival of trucks led to more shipping directly to the packing plants. The result was chaos in the marketplace with the packing plants being able to take advantage of the disorganiza- tion among the farmers. The marketing board idea was borrowed form Australia and grew up in Canada in British Columbia where it took the form of marketing co -Operatives. 'i'hc big problem was, Mr, Boynton says, that the farmers wanted to cooperate only when it was advantageous t0 them and to go on their own when they could work a better deal separately. What was needed was legislation so that everyone was obliged to operate under a common marketing plan. The first hog organization was set up in 1941 in Ontario and in 1945 the first plebiscite was help. 'l'hc government legislation declared a marketing plan was only operative when a group of producers decide to take advantage of the farm marketing act and so the marketing board 'idea went before the producers for their approval, and won it, The marketing board, offering the attraction of immediate sale of hogs, went into effect in 1946. At first the board tried to establish a minimum price for hogs, but the packing houses wouldn't agree and the' battle over minimum price waged for live years, Finally in 1951 the Board gave up and moved instead to the idea of agency marketing whcrc the board in effect sold the hogs itself to the packing houses. in order to establish its own authority it even moved hogs out of packing plant yards a few times when the packers refused to. offer a price the board felt was fair. It was soon decided, however, that this was not legal and so the marketing board began to set up its own system of marketing yards throughout the province through which all hogs had to be sold. The first yard was in Toronto in 1953 and by 1959 the system was province wide. The yard system allowed the Board to set the time and place of sale and sell by private treaty. Next the teletype system was brought in to - both improve communications and keep a written record of all sales. It also allowed sales to be anonymous with none of the packers knowing who bought and who hadn't. The teletype system works like an auction at long range, Mr. Boynton says. There are 10 teletype machines in the THE BGYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 14, 1974. PG.5. Crowd scene Blyth assembly yard is a very busy place on Monday mornings. province in individual packing houses hooked up to the board offices. A lot of hogs is offered for sale say from the Blyth yard and is put on the board teletype, It starts at the $54.00 per hundredweight level and using • the Dutch clock system works down. The buyer in the packing house watches the price drop he can push a button and the bidding is stopped with theprice of sale at the price showing when he pushed the button, Besides the packers who have their own teletypes, there are a further 10 packers throughout the province who are too small to have their own machines so who buy through board salesmen in 'Toronto. They call in and ask for so many hogs and tell the price they would like to pay and the salesmen try to buy for them a lot of hogs at the specified price and from a yard sufficiently close to their packing house. Some people, Mr. Boynton says, question the Dutch clock system, rather than regular auction system where the price goes up. He explains that the Dutch clock system is used because it ensures anonymity among the buyers. In a regular auction each bid must be recorded while in the Dutch clock system there is only one bid, the one that buys the lot of hogs. In this way no one can watch the near bids and know how close they were to getting the lot. If the bidding goes through a whole dollar range without sale a "No Sale" message is flashed through the teletype raid the lot of hogs is held for a while and another lot of hogs from another yard is offered. Last year the Board often sold hogs into Quebec to break up this "log jam"as Mr. Boynton calls it, but this year there have been few sales into Quebec because of high production there. The unsold hogs niay be offered again after a short time and if not sold, only as a last resort will be offered on a new tape starting a full dollar lower than the original offer. Mr. Boynton says there hasn't been much profit in the hog business of late because of low prices and high production costs but the Marketing Board is trying to find a solution and is looking toward export sales. Ontario, he says, is now pretty well -sufficient in pork production so export sales are needed if the production of pork is to grow. Before exports can begin, however, the cost of production of hogs has got to be determined and that is a difficult task. A formula has been devised by the board as carefully as possible taking into effect the cost of feed grain, interest rates, hydro, and labour at $9500 per year and it has been determined that it costs about $51.00 per hundredweight or $80 per hog to produce pork. This amount, of course can vary according to the practicies of individual farmer. This cost of production formula was needed, Mr. Boynton says, because export orders have to be guaranteed well in advance and yet the farmer has to get a fair price, What is planned then is a pooling of price where the weekly average of hogs sold in Ontario and hogs sold for export will be calculated and this price will be paid to all sellers of hogs in that week. At the June meeting of the Board this policy was agreed to by all delegates, even those from the Toronto area who have as much as 75 to 80 cents per hog to lose in pooling because they now get more due to low travelling costs, This pooling policy is expected to begin in September. The Board is also taking steps in another direction to try to improve and streamline service. At present, every individual that ships hogs has a separate shipping number, In some cases there may be three or four different shipping numbers on one farm where perhaps a father, mother arid son all ship hogs. The Board is planning to rc'fink 1.his registration and by January 1 institute a one•number• fi--each-farm system which will speed up payments to farmers. The final product The whole process of the marketing board is designed to deliver pork from the hog barn to the butcher's counter. In from the farm John Benjamins and his son John of RR 1, Blyth deliver a Toad of hogs from their farm to the Blyth assembly yards of the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing Board. PG.6. THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 14, 1974. Sports Talk Toronto a sports city? One observer of the sporting scene in Toronto commented after the departure of Johnny Bassett and his football team to Memphis that it was probably the best thing that ever happened to Johnny. He was likely right, Take a look at the record of Toronto as a sports city and one wonders why Johnny ever wanted to locate those in the first place. Torontonians pride themselves that they have a great sports city, but a look at what's happened in the past year puts the lie to the claim. The other night the Argonauts, the only football team in the city failed to fill the 32,000 seats at the C.N.E. stadium. What would have happened if there had been two teams competing in the same market? What will happen when Toronto finally gets a 50,000 scat stadium? The Toronto Royals Team Tennis crew drew a miserable 800 spectators. Attendances for team tennis around the circuit have never been great, but this is about the worst anywhere. The Toronto Metros, one of the better professional soccer teams on the continent are on the ropes because of poor attendance. They've been lucky to draw 5000 fans into the stadium, even on special promotion nights. In Vancouver, an unknown new team drew 15,000 in its first home game. The Toronto franchise in the National Lacrosse League is reported to be going to shift to New York -and indoor lacrosse is a Canadian game. They've been drawing only a thousand or so in Maple Leaf Gardens while in Philadelphia they've had crowds often 10 times that large. The Toronto Toros have been building a powerful hockey team in the past year with many star additions to an already strong team, This year they'll also be playing in the Gardens so there is no excuse of 4,second-class facilities. Here's betting, however, that the building isn't filled too many times this winter, Out in Vancouver, though, they'll be filling the Coliseum several nights a week for both the Blazers and the Canucks, neither of which has much of a chance winning a championship. Toronto has two strong contenders. A visitor from Toronto correctly identified the mystery of why the city seems so strong in support of some teams and stays away from others when quality obviously is not the cause. The visitor pointed out that the biggest part of the tickets held for Maple Leaf hockey games and Argonaut football games are held• by companies who give them away as part of business promotions. There really aren't that many people actually lining up to buy tickets. If a team wants to be successful in Toronto, it has to attract business season ticket holders. Toronto's reputation as a sports city will really be put on the spot in the' next couple of years. This next winter it gets an NBA basketball team and soon it is expected to have a big league ball team. If Toronto wants to uphold its reputation it had better put up or shut up. Successful Horse Show at Dungannon A very successful Junior Horse Show was held at the Dungannon Fair Grounds sponsored by the Huron Trail Riders Saddle Club.

Last play of season The final production of the 1974 Festival of Summer Theatre at the Huron Country Playhouse is a new musical version of the old temperance play Ten Nights in a Bar Room. It begins its four-day run in the playhouse tent on the Stephen B Line off Highway 81 on Wednesday, August 14 at 9 p.m. with a final performance taking place in Kincardine Town Hall, Sunday only, August 18, at 8:30, as the last offering of the Kincardine season. Ten Nights in a Bar Room is a melodrama depicting the evils of drink. It was first produced in England more than a century ago. Audiences were swept into states of dispair and sowrrow upon viewing the destructive in- • fluences of "spirits" on the youth and the sight of men in the throes of , the D.T.s. Today, audiences may sit back and delight more in the satire of the situations presented, cheer the return of sobriety and relish the grand style of traditional melodrama. The full 1974 company appear onstage in this season closer. Heading the cast is M.E. (Maurice) Evans, who stays on after his co-starring role in The marriage -Go -Round last week to play Simon Slade, the tavern keeper out to make it rich quick. Thom Hayes, seen earlier this season as Elyot in Private Lives, returnes as Harvey Green, the Villain of the piece, corruptor of yourth. Alex Pearse also returns following appearances in Stage . Door (Frank) and Private Lives (Victor) to play Joe Morgan, a man almost destroyed by "the demon rum". Glorya McShayne, seen in Rapunzel and Stage Door, plays Morgan's daughter, Mary, who is struck down in a den of iniquity, and Russell Scott, seen to commentable advantage in cameo roles in Stage Door and featured in Rapunzel completes the principal cast 'as Sample Swichel, the country bumpkin. Musical director is Erna Van Daele of London. Decorators clinch first place in Blyth Industrial ball The Lawrie Decorators clinched first place in the Blyth Industrial Softball league while the hottest team in the league, the Mann- ing's Lumber Kings stretched their winning streak to four games with two victories the past week. On Tuesday, August 6, the Decorators downed the Atlas Raw Hides 20 to 4. Wayne Coultes and John Stewart hit home runs to lead the Decorator's hitting attack, In the second game the Lumber Kings defeated the Radford's Gravel Giants 23 to 3. The Lumber Kings jumped into an early lead scoring eight times in the first inning and they never looked back. Wayne McDougall homered for the Lumber Kings. On Sunday, August 11, the Radford's Gravel Giants trounced the Atlas Raw Hides 24 to 1. Bob Bromley, Larry Robinson and Doug Scrimagour combined to pitch a strong game for the Gravel Giants. Gary Walden homered for In the second game the Lumber Kings squeaked past the Decora- tors 12 to 11. Jim Taylor's bases loaded home run in the third inning helped the Lumber Kings score seven runs. Norm Leis had four hits for the Decorators. This Sunday, August 18, the final games of the regular schedule will be played. At 7:00 the Lawrie Decorators play the Radford's Gravel Giants, At 8:30 the Manning's Lumber Kings play the Atlas Raw Hides.

The bride, given in marriage by her father wore a floor -length gown of crystalette over crepe. The gown featured a rolled collar, high waist, ruffled bodice and full sleeves with deep cuffs. The collar bodice and cuffs were accented with appliqued roses. A short cathedral train fell from a tailored bow at the waist. The silk illusion elbow -length veil was held in place by a floral cluster adorned with streamers. She carried a cascade of yellow sweetheart roses, white daisies and baby's breath. Miss Dianne Cook, friend ot'.the bride, was maid of honour. She wore a gown of yellow and floral chiffon over taffeta. , J,er dress was fashioned with a snoop neckline, puffed sleeves with wide buttoned cuffs, and long back ties.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 14, 1974. PG.7. County librarian retires The chief librarian for the Huron County Library is retiring at the end of August after four years of faithful service and there is a possibility that a large number of people in the county did not know who she was or what her job entailed. Miss Ethel Dewar had the reins of the library handed to her in 1970 and since then has steered it through a complete change in distribution system and has planned and initiated the library's new headquarters on Lighthouse Street. Shy and humble, Miss Dewar is what most people imagine a librarian to be and yet there is evidence everywhere that she is capable of planning, organizing and putting in motion her ideas of what changes are necessary to give residents of Huron County good library service. Her first job in a library was in her hometown of Belleville where she sold books for 25 cents an hour. During this period she was training to add a Library Degree to the Bachelor of Arts Degree she received in university. After completing library school she was promoted to Children's Librarian at the Belleville Public Library and then moved on the chief librarian. She has devoted her life's work to library work and has been very successful in the field. She has served as chief librarian in Cornwall, Victoria County and Oakville Public Libraries and just prior to coming to the Huron County system had set up a resource centre library for the Lambton Kent Composite School in Dresden. Miss Dewar's arrival in Huron County was timed with the retirement of the bookmobile that had carried over 1,000 books to readers throughout the county since 1947. The rolling library, reputedly one of the first of its kind in Canada and dubbed "Miss Huron", was replaced by a station wagon delivery van and a new distribution system. The new system required books to be selected at headquarters and sent out to the various branches rather than a quantity sent out to be selected locally. Add to this the planning of the new headquarters and the move from the basement of the Court House to Lighthouse Street and it is obvious that Miss Dewar's talents would be put to the test. Improving the book titles in stock in the libraries is a constant challenge and Miss Dewar has systematically weeded out the worn out holdings and replaced MAGICIAN DAVE YANZI Presents the Gospel In Magic SPECIAL MUSIC Sunday, Aug. 1 8 8 P.M. Huron Men's Chapel AUBURN "Evil Prevails When Good Men do Nothing" them with popular literature and up to date reference material. The library serves 1,295 miles and over 50,000 people, largely rural. There are five town branches in Goderich, Clinton, Seaforth, Wingham and Exeter. There are five village libraries and 14 deposit stations located in halls, homes or separate small quarters and are open from three to eight hours per week. Headquarters for this network of book lending is on Lighthouse Street in Goderich and the planning for the small office has achieved maximum use for the relatively limited space. It is here that Miss Dewar's talent and experience has blossomed. The headquarters on Light- house Street is staffed by six people, Cheif Librarian, a Library Technician, a secretary and three library assistants. The purpose of the centre is to control the flow of the nearly 200,000 books owned by the county. These books are constantly being moved from one. branch to another through the headquarters and all new publica- tions purchased are processed here. A system of sliding shelves purchased at Miss Dewar's request allows for maximum use of floor space. The shelves are mounted on rollers and can be moved across the room so that there is only one aisle in use at any given time, Miss Dewar has scoured the book catalogues since her arrival here and has put together an extensive history of the county that she calls her Canadiana section. The literature covers all facets of life in the county including farming books from the last century. The headquarters also serves as a resource centre since no one branch has adequate staff or resources to handle the job. If a reader wishes to borrow a book that the county library does not have, they can immediately contact the Kitchener public Library. If that library does not have the book, then the Regional office would be telexed and they, in turn, could draw on the national resources in Ottawa. The book could be located and sent out to Goderich. These efforts of Miss Dewar and her staff to modernize the library system have proven to be extremely successful and the chief librarian is more than satisfied with her final efforts in the field. She regards her work in Huron as "a marvellous experi- ence". CONTINUED ON PAGE 15 •.'••,... V .x..1..1..1..1..1.1 V .1..1.1�►..�..

My husband loves his job --except when he hits a car. Most railroaders know it's only a matter of time, because it happens to all of them sooner or later. My husband's time came yesterday. He is sick about it, but there was no way he could have avoided that accident. Two people died because the driver ignored the flashing signals and the whistles, took the gamble and lost. 1 hope every person who reads your column will ask himself if he has ever done the same thing. If he has, 1 hope it was the last time. it's so easy to misjudge the speed of a train in the distance. I have stopped at crossings and waited while other cars passed me and went over the tracks, even though the signals were going full blast. Some of them missed being hit by seconds. Trains rarely can stop in time to prevent an accident. What's more, a small car, if it is hit just right, can derail a train and injure or kill the crew, I know this letter is too late to help the people who died yesterday, but please print if for the sake of those who are still taking chances. When they win, they win only a few minutes, When the lose, they lose . their lives. •-RAILROADER'S WIFE DEAR WiFE: In all the years I've been writing this column, yours is the first letter I've received on this subject.

I met a 33 -year-old charmer at our plant bowling league and fell hook, line and sinker, I asked my husband to give me a divorce so we could be married. it broke him up something awful be he agreed. Mr. 33 has no money, no car, no driver's license, and no apartment. (He lives with a bachelor friend.) His job is temporary but he doesn't seem to be l000king for anything permanent. When we arc out of an evening, he eyes every woman that passes and 'makes some fresh remark. I've told him it bothers me but he continues to do it. Last night my husband begged me to call my lawyer and stop the divorce proceedings. He says he misses the kids and is willing to "start over." I'm really crazy about Mr. 33. He's the greatest turn -on I've ever had. (My husband is just so-so.) Would marriage,change Mr. 33? He says it would.--GRISELDA DEAR G.: Ile's right. Marriage WOULD change him --for the worse.

Bill Smiley BY 13111 SMILEY Summer reflections: some good, some bad. First well give the good news, then the bad, as the current crud goes. If you don't know what crud means, ask your family doctor. Or somebody else's family doctor, if you don't trust your own. A family doctor is someone in the family. That means you try to get everything for firer. So if he tells you that you have a little headache once in a while, take an aspirin. relax. you know you have a monumental brain tumour. On the other hand, if you take somebody else's family doctor, beware. He'll probably tell you that you have a possible brain tumour, that you should relax, and take plenty of aspirin. Well, 1 hope that takes carr of that. I didn't really meant to get onto doctors. Grand chaps, actually. But I have a lingering resentment against a R.A.F. doctor who insisted on giving ply. my annual anti -tetanus shot (a dirty great injection in your shoulder) the night of our passing Hospital gets new chief Ross F. Bryant, B.A., M.H.A., becomes administrator of Goder- ich Psychiatric Hospital, Septem- ber, 3 1974. Effective the same date, Dr. Michael F. Conlon, formerly superintendent, be- comes Medical Director and Ross McDaniel. formerly business administrator, becomes assistant administrator of the hospital. Goderich is the last provincial psychiatric hospital to convert from medical superintendency. The appointments arc in line with ministry policy to divide administrative and medical re- sponsibilities previously com- bined in a single superintendent's position. The division of responsi- bilities was brought about by the need to maintain and improve operating standards in the face in increasing complexities in both the administrative and medical sides of psychiatric hospital management. Mr. Bryant is presently assis- tant administrator Huronia Re- gional Ccntrc, Orilla, a position he has held since February 1973. His present responsibilities in- clude managing 1I support service departments and approxi- mately 450 employees at the centre. Born in Hamilton, Mr. Bryant graduated in 1969 from Eureka College, University ()I' Illinois, with a bachelor of arts degree in social sciences specializing in psychology, sociology and history. From 1969 to 1971 he attended the School of Hospital Administration, University ()I' Ottawa, and graduated with a master's degree in hospital administration. Upon graduation in 1971, he was appointed ad 11110 ist ra 11 resident. Ontario Ministry oI' Health. He was assigned to administrative projects at London Psychiatric Hospital, Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital, Huronia Regional Centre, Orillia, and the Ontario Hospital, C'ohourg. My wife called me 'Dear' today out party, from a training course 011 Spitfires. 1 (old him I had a bad back, a w'renc'hed knee, a toothache, phlcl'itis, and pneumonia, Ile said, ".lolly good", and sank an elephant needle into my shoulder. I had the satisfaction of seeing hint stunned by a coffee cup hurled from behind the piano, 11 was thrown by our ('.0., who, despite the fact that he'd had his pants pulled oft' and beer poured liberally over his lower torso, was still very much alive. And a moment later, I had the satisfaction of seeing the C'.0, caught right between the ccs by a dinner -plate flung by a New Zealander who said, "Whizzo„ when he saw the Commanding officer fall to his knees, trouser - less. This was in the good old clays, Mien it was more or less expected that you'd splash up the mess before you graduated. II wasn't vandalism, in the modern sense. You had to pay for everything you broke, and you took full responsibility for what you'd done. It was a wild, fire, careening sense of destruction, perhaps based on the sense that you were destructible and were going to be destructed. Pcrhpas that is what makes young people tick today. I1' they tick. Some of them don't cvcn seem to be wound up, let alone tick. As usual, I've gone far from my theme. The good news and then the bad news. It's like a Newfic ur Polish joke, both of which 1 despise. Good news? It's not raining; the town engineer is not going to cut down 3I ample trees until he tries again next year. My grandbaby is a little devil. One of Illy students wants to conte around and talk. My wife called MC "Dem'' today. My bursitis is not hurting too much. 'There's a rose bed in the backyard which hasn't produced a rose in three years, but this summer has a fine touch of green (three baby elms). I don't have a heart condition, though I'm not sure about me liver. The electric storm last night didn't hit my oaks. 'I'hc plumber gave us a big hag of fresh beans out of his garden. I3ad news? My gran(Ihaby is a devil. He and his mother arc living in a dome (no lights, no water, no electricity, no toilet). left an $11.95 library hook out on one of the lawn chairs yesterday, and i1 rained all night.

My doctor has a needle. My wife has a longue. My cal is heterosexual, My slaughter is clie'crful, My tion is cheerful. ('This is bad news because it means they 1uc hath going to )take a touch.). All in all, it's a prelty average slminlc'r, so far. Thousands unaware of special government grants available Health and Welfare Canada officials estimate that several thousand retired people in Ontario are unaware of a special Federal Government grants pro- gram designed to help finance projects and activities thl'y may want to initiate in their communities. The program, called New Horizons, was started by the health department in September 1972. Since then more than $4,769.(00 have been awarded to ti34 groups of retired people in this province according to Ontario Manager, .line Allman. "Despite the program's popu- larity and extensive publicity through news nle(lia, I am quite sure that many oI' our retired citizens in Ontario are still not fully aware of: the availability of the funds; application pro- ccdures, and the type of projects that the program is designed to finance," Mr. Allman said. Objectives oI' New Horizons arc three fold: to encourage the retired to participate in commun- ity life; to provide an opportunity to senior citizens to utilize their knowledge and experience; and encourage mutual aid among retired people. "Virtually any group of retired citizens may be eligible for assistance providing that the activity usefully and creatively involves senior citizens, meets :,u•r)ing out prujccls. their specific needs, and benefits include such items Them and the community in which they live," Mr. Allman said. To qualify, projects must he planned and carried out by ;1 group of 10 or more retired people who become the 1)irectors oI' the project and take responsibility for its implementation and admini- stration. Funds granted under the program ma): he used to sleet the cost of planning, organising, and 'Ill's may as rental o1 accomud.uions, rental or pur. chase 01 equipment, minor building repairs, telephone, pub- licity, salaries of temporary stall, consultants and audit Ices.

If two-thirds of the represent- atives favour the establishment of an Authority, a body of represen- tatives chosen according to population, is granted the right to conduct programs for resources protection and proper manage- ment. Administrative and capital costs are shared between the member municipalities and the Provincial Government, with some projects receiving 100 per cent support by the Government of Ontario. From the representatives, on Executive Committee and several Advisory Committees are chosen, They are responsible for the planning and implementation of programs such as proper land use, forest management, flood provention and erosion control, wildlike preservation, develop- ment of recreational areas, and conservation education programs.

They are so warm and friendly and the office staff here is second to none." Miss Dewar will be leaving her Bayfield home to return to Belleville. She summered in Bayfield for three years prior to joining the county staff and consequently was familiar with life in Huron.

She says she will treasure the painting always. She leaves the county in _ September but she feels her new lodgings in Bellville are rather unique.

County .resists proposals for Officials want more.:. regional health-care councils CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 health care services. Dr. J.K. McGregor, of Wingham, president of the Huron County Medical Society, said the report contained no criticism of present syqcros. District health councils would be rigid and inflexible in decision making, he said. Dr. McGregor added his voice to those claiming that a large unneccessary bureaucracy would be created. Dr. Susan Tamblyn, medical officer of health for the Perth District Health Unit, said public health needs more emphasis on improving lifestyles and physical fitness. The Mustard report does not consider these improvements in its proposals, she said. The proposals threaten autonomy, stake health care costlier and do nothing to improve health, Dr. Tamblyn said. County protests riding change Huron County Council last Monday voted to send a letter of protest to the Ontario government about redistribution of provincial ridings in this area. A government commission is now preparing a redistribution scheme that would change Huron -Bruce MPP Murray Gaunt's•riding to includ parts of Wellington, Perih and Grey Counties. Huron MPP Jack Riddell's riding would be changed to include part of Perth County. Council decided that Mr. Gaunt's workload would be increased too much if he had to represent people from Live different countries. Council's letter will recom- ment that his riding be expanded to include only Brant Township and Walkerton which arc in Bruce County, In support of Perth County which does not want part of its arca included with Huron, council decided to recommend that Mr. Riddell's riding be changed to include the northern part of Middlesex County which is now in the federal riding of Huron - Middlesex. Mr. Riddell and Mr. Gaunt, who attended the council meet- ing, agreed with the recom- mendations. Jack Riddell, MPP for Huron, said the county would be lost in the district proposed by the Mustard report. Murray Gaunt, MPP for Huron -Bruce, agreed with Mr. Riddell when he said that the county "would be completely smothered" when policy decisions were made. Experience has shown that regionalization proposed in the report would increase costs, he said. He warned of a "bureaucratic dictator- ship" the councils would create. I1' people don't agree with policies made by their district councils, they can't remove council members in elections because the members are appointed, Mr. Gaunt said, Dr. Frank Mills, medical officer of health for Huron County, said at the beginning of the meeting that the implications of Mustard Report proposals on county residents were "just beyond belief" Hullett Clerk Clare Vincent resigned from his post as township ditch commissioner at the August meeting of Hullett Council held August 1 in Londcsboro, Council instructed the clerk to advertise for applications for a new commissioner to be in the hands of the clerk by 6 p.m., August 30, Bill Smiley CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 That language is straight out of a novel by Dickens.

It was pointed out that to install washrooms as large as those required would mean a major addition and councillor John Manning said the size of the tile bed for the required septic tank could mean as much as $10,000 just for the septic tank alone. Several council members who were present at the dance held by the Lions Club said there was no overcrowding of the washroom facilities at that time, Council agreed to pass the report on to the recreation facilities and await its recornrnendations on the project. Council approved building permits to Stewart Ament for a carport, Howson and Howson Ltd. for a cement building over the weigh scales and David Medd for an in -ground swimming pool. A letter from the Ministry of Transport asked council to pass a by-law restricting parking within 30 feet of the Dinsley- Quecn Street intersection. Repairs to some troublesome sidewalks will be made by the Works Department after complaints from some elderly residents about the uneveness of some areas of the sidewalk. Councillor Bill Howson said he would Tike to see a program of sidewalk improvement carried on throughout the village but felt it must wait until the installation of sewers is completed: On the sewer question councillors, on the suggestion of Councillor Howson, will attempt to arrange another meeting early in September with officials of the Ministry of the Environment. Council is unhappy with the slowness of progress on the project which has seen constant delays this summer, While in Toronto they will also seek a meeting with Ontario Housing Corporation officials to try to speed up the start of senior, citizens housing for the village.
