Leaf c.„ auh�Q�r Describe Plans F�rHuron Roads To dispel any misgivings which may be felt regarding the county need study inaugurated by his department a year or so ago, Hon. Charles. MacNaugh- ton, minister of highways, paid an unscheduled visit to Huron county council on the first day of its June session. "I think," he said, "there is a misgiving that the results of this study may take something away, from county jurisdiction, and that is not the case. It will tell us how much more help we Will have to give you. I can understand the fear of a town- ship that it will have to take back county road mileage. It may well be that in the inter- est,- of good economics this may be the case, but it • is farthest from my thinking that if this is done it will work to the dis- advantage of one to accomplish the advantage of another. If there is a sorting of county roami �I leage, nobody is going to 1�se anything in the process. Whenwe have the study com- pleted we will know how much we will have to ask the Treas- urer for to integrate the road mileage of the province." T h e highway's minister's speech was the first in a series to be delivered to other coun- ties "from one end of the prov- ince to the other," he said, "but I thought it might be sensible to say it in Huron first." ' Warden Ralph Jewell invited the minister to join with the members in the official photo- graph at adjournment, and also to have lunch with them at Hotel Bedford. Receive New Reeve _, At opening •of 'the ' sitting, Reeve Borden Cook," of Blyth. was • sworn in by "clerk -treasur- er John G. Berry. Eight years, a member of the village coun- ciI, he succeeds Reeve William Morritt,resigned on account of ill health. Mr. Cook is a grocer at Blyth. On motion of Reeve Frank Walkom, Goderich, and Reeve John Corbett, of Hay, council' adopted a resolution of appre-' ciation for Mr. Morritt's serv- ices, and expressing best wish- es for recovery of his health. Mr. Morritt was chairman of the EMO Committee. ' Commends Huron "I am particularly gratified," Mr. MacNaughton said, "to learn that you decided to pro- ceed with the county need stu- dy. I have become aware that in some counties there is a bit of misgiving and some miscon ception. It was done in the broad general interests of the department, to learn county by county the economic needs of the province with respect to this type of road -building and the assistance which may be re- quired. It involves the econom- ic aspects more than the physi- cal, and before the department or minister can even evolve the program in terms of updating our direct assistance program, I think you will agree it be- comes obvious we must know the problems of each, and every county and district. "While our budget for direct assistance has been increased, ,and this year is $15,000.000, in this business you have to run like hell just to stand still. I do not ,expect our budget will get any less. Certainly it should SeII that unnecessary piece of furniture through a Huron Ex- positor Classified Ad.

It is of the utmost importance for the .minister to know what he is faced with each twelvemonth, to form the right type of bud- get. Visit Councils "This is the first of a series of visits to county councils in the next week or tett days to associate them intimately with the direct assistance problem. At your level, the information obtained will enable the muni- cipal roads branch of the de- partment to determine a num- ber of things, but principally from ' the economical point of view it will enable us to have a look at your future require- ments; in other words, the ex- tent to which Huron County may be entitled to direct assist- ance, commonly referred to as the development road — 100 cents on the dollar superimpos- ed on the county's annual op- erations over and above the by - law program. We are going to find, of course, that there is a variety of economic situations... In the `Golden Mile' setup it would be at sharp tdriance with Huron, and Huron is pros- perous contrasted with others, but each county road system has a different function. "With respect to your own county program, the develop- ment road from Seaforth north- erly should be completed and paved very soon. I understand the contract has been awarded. i visite,' with the county en- gineer this morning and under- stand that pre -engineering is completed on the Crediton Road, which permits me to tell you we will be able to work a construction designation b y April 1, 1965. It cannot be ac- complished this year because we were not sure when' pre - engineering should be finished. I have no reason to believe we cannot complete that designa- tion in a minimum of two years —it may take a little longer. "I have other. ideas, which it would be proper to discuss first' with the road committee." i _A:e 'Shovis increase Equalized assessment of Hur- on is up $959,026 from a year ago, county assessor Alex A. Alexander reported to council at its opening session on Mon- day. The total is $64,349,046, representing an increase "in al- most every, municipality," Mr. Alexander said. Last' year's to- tal, which showed an increase of slightly over $1,000,000, was $63,390,020. Township totals show little change; Goderith is up $124,- 000, Wingham $201,000, Exeter $101,000. Mr. Alexander showed Bay- field separately, in view of a proposal to incorporate the vil- lage. Its population is given as 375, acreage 60, and assessment $535,720. "This is the amount the po- lice village is assessed in Stan- ley," Mr. Alexander explained.' "It is possible that the boun- daries will be altered, and if they are we will have to add or subtract whatever amount is changed. We are only setting up now the police village in this report, and any change in boundaries' will have to be add- ed or subtracted. There may be a change in the corner of Huron Endorses Plan To Purchase Lancaster From his seat in county coun- cil, a rear gunner of a famed pathfinder Squadron of the RCAF on Friday invited all his colleagues to be on hand next Sunday "to see .the last `Lane' fly in." Business before council was the property committee's report, recommending a . grant of $500 to Branch 109 of the Royal Canadian Legion toward pur- chase of a Lancashire bomber. for historical purposes. Com- mittee chairman Alvin D. Smith, reeve of Turnberry, an ex-seryiceman, remarked that he had not too much to ,do with bombers, but, said there was one -member of council who had. "We may be biased," he admitted. Tom Howard, deputy reeve of Ashfield, one of the quieter members, did not take the hint, but later Reeve Frank Walkom, of Goderich, called for 'him. to speak. "I have been back of this all the way," said Mr, Howard. "I think all of us should be proud to get this aircraft in Huron, and I would extend an invita- tion to you all to be there next Sunday afternoon and see the last `Lane' come in." Deputy reeve Howard served in 405 (Vancouver) Squadron for a matter of five years, hold- ing down the rear gunner's post. He was awarded the Distin- guished Flying Cross for shoot- ing down a night fighter, and returned safely to serve his community in a civilian capacity. The committee report was taken clause by clause, with Reeve Clifford Dunbar, of Grey, in ,. the chair. The' Lancashire item was approved without dis- sent, after an interesting dis- cussion. Dr. G. B. Clancy and Charles Snell, representing the Legion, were invited to address council.. Answering a question, Dr.•Clancy said "no certain lo- cation (for the bomber) seems to answer all 'our needs," War- den Jewell, who is reeve of Colborne, later intimated that the land across the road from Sky Harbor would be avail- able. "The Lancaster may be tem- porarily at Sky Harbor," Dr. Clancy explained. "There is quite a bit of servicing to be done, and we haven't the full brochure from the department. It will be voluntary work by interested members of the Le- gion.. "This aircraft, loaded with eight tons of fuel and 10 tons, of bombs, weighed 32 tons, and had a wing span of 102 feet. It would be 66 or 68 feet Iong, and stands about 22 feet to the top of the canopy" Deputy reeve Reg Jewell, Goderich, enquired as to the effect of weather on an aircraft kept in the open. Dr. Clancy said the Lanes had been out- side since 1943 or 1944, but it was planned to apply a pre- servative of some kind until the storage problem could be studied. "This is a part of our his- tory and background," said Reeve Glenn Webb, of Stephen, "and I think we would be re- miss if we did not support this. We should not let them down," Mr. Snell outlined a project which might be an outgrowth of the bomber venture. "Legion members,v he said, "feel this might be the start of aIpark area where we could perhaps have an artillery piece or tank, and in 25 years could be something - we would be proud of. No one will ever see a Lancaster flying again after this one arrives on Sunday, and I feel this is something our chil- dren, and grandchildren should have to look at in perpetuity." "Cost to the Canadian gov- ernment;►T Dr. Clancy said, "was $300,000 for the bare plane, and with radar gear and bomb sikhts another $100,000 on later models. They sell us this for about $1,300, and it will take about another $1,300 to put it in minimum shape, and the Air Force has spent two and a half times that total to get it in serviceable condition to fly, be- cause there was considerable pirating done, and ,it took 300 hours to put • it in condition, and 500 gallons of high: -octane gas and a ferry crew to , fly it up here. Squadron leaders don't come very reasonable. They are providing a band and color party. The commanding officer from Clinton station and several of his officers will be here to receive it, and we will have the Legion pipe band out, so you fellows should not miss it," Deputy ,reeve Jewell said mention should be made of how the project came about. "When an article came out in the papers they were scrapping the last three Lancasters,". he recalled, "we wrote to Hbn. Paul Hellyer and in three weeks we had our aircraft, There were fifty -odd applications in, including Vancouver. A lot of unofficial work was done by `Happy' Hopkinson, and so this was gained for Goderich, and we were fortunate even to be considered." Other Lancasters go to Ed- murlston, N.B., Edmonton, Alta., and the C.N.E. in Toronto, the last-named bought by the Air Force Association. Council approved a recom- mendation in .the property re- port accepting a price of $3,480 from Worsell Brothers, Gode- rich, for renovating the jail heating system.
