He would then be able to just throw the contents of the containers into the appropriate comptuunent of his truck. "I guess the problem with a recycling program using pails is that there's no grant money available for pails," reasoned Jerry. "People have been conditioned to think of blue boxes when they think of recycling." Grants available to municipalities starting a recycling program pay two-thirds the cost of blue boxes and it's up to the municipality how to recover the other third. A town could charge each resident the difference or make a tax hike to recover costs. McKillop offers blue dignity • from page 2 residents are happy and encouraged to live to their potential with stimulating activity programs and caring staff. Sure I've heard horror stories about some nursing and retirement homes. I've also heard of abused parents and grandparents at home with families who can no longer cope and of senior citizens who sit alone and lonely all day with their only contact to the outside world being their homecare worker. I firmly believe that there is a place for all of us out there and that families and seniors need to take the time to explore and decide what OBITUARIES BESSIE McCLURE Mrs. Bessie McClure of Walton died on Monday, August 27, 1990 at the Seaforth Community Hospital. She was 72.

For eaanipik, use population area aught be composed at two townships and ow town, or two diverse villages asd the %xxmer of two towashipt. The workload will be increased to the point where a rcprc. cntaove will become a full-time job. If sitting on County Council becomes a profession, the salary will have to be adjusted according ro tine pay equity legislation. Surely a councillor ropresenung 4,000 in Huron County must be as much as a full -tome council - working and supporting a family is Mew Toronto. Can we afford this? If being a councillor becomes a full -nine job, we will lose the input boxes to its residents and the boxes were free because McKillop -Grey townships are a pilot project in rural recycling. Clinton has adopted the blue box system and the town is paying the cat of each box over what is paid for by grants. Jerry would have to sell his pails for about S2 apiece. While Seaforth council looks into recycling programs and grants, Jerry will continue to offer recycling services to interested residents. Jerry says he will submit a proposal to council on recycling. The 300 white pails Jerry has sit waiting to be used as recycling containers. To make the pails a symbol of recycling in Seaforth is best for them without being pushed into a decision by politicians. I agree that our seniors deserve dignity, security and quality care but I feel they should also have the right to decide how they wish to live and should be granted funding to assist them in their choice. If they are old enough to vote are they not hold enough to decide the lifes- tyle best suited to their needs and have the same rights to adequate funding as those who choose to be at home?

How could you era be a fanner if you hada full-time job being a council- lor? Without a true farm voice an municipal council, who will protect rural wiles such as the right to farm, land severance and foodland preservation? The voice of the country folk might be loot in On- tario's most agricultural county, with the future development of Huron County to be determined by people not involved in food produc- tion. Are there any other counties in Ontano that do not contain a city ar are located so far frau a large urban arca? The problem with this government plan is that it does not could be a community IXoject. Jerry suggested having a contest for school children to design a logo. He said he could approach the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides or other service group to get the pails painted and ready for use. "1'm willing to work with council, providing they get a direction," Jerry said. "I'll continue to do the pick-up of recyclables when council gets recycling. I'm not complaining about anything; it's just that as the private individual that picks up the garbage, I can see the inefficiency of a blue box system."

The way tint 1 u oder<stand the Ministry's strategy of restructuring is to integrate separated municipalities into the "ideal cxounty system by wading on one at a time, so that a stung focus of local government is created in the arta under revision This is Arcady underway. Local study groups are woricuig on char plan for implementing changes in the coun- ties of Bruce, Victoria, Prescott - Russell, Welliagton and Peter- borough. I don't know whether this plan is all good or all bad. Perhaps there are parts of it that might bring real benefits in a society that is char ging rapidly, even in Huron. But 1 believe we should question our candidates w get a clear understan- ding of these restructuring proposals before the election. We should also take advantage of the opportunity to let the poliucal parties know the conditions we wish to keep in Huron County. Don't add to the problem!
