"Probably 30 names are on the list," said deputy clerk - treasurer B. G. Hanly. Super- intendent H. C, Johnston had reported 225 persons under care -96 males. Nominal ca- pacity is 225. The planned new addition will add 75 beds. Cost was estimated early in tle year at $550,000. Report of the Huronview board, submitted by Reeve El- gin Thompson, of Tuckersmith, said it is hoped to have ten- ders in "very early in the new year." The board is to open the tenders and make a recom- mendation to January council session. Financial arrange- ments will then be coihpleted and a final presentation, made in March. With financing ap- proved provincially, construc- tion might start April 1. Mr. Johnston reported per diem cost at Huronview as $4.09 which he said compares with $6 at Welland and $5.93 at the Waterloo home. "Homes that do not provide nursing care can operate at $2.50 per day, as in Perth," he said. There were 54 admissions to Huronview during the year to date, and 48 deaths. On recommendation of the warden's and personnel commit- tee, council approved an in- crease to $7,000 in the salary of Huronview superintendent, H. C. Johnston, with annual in- crements of $200, up to $7,400, and in the salary of John More, assistant, to $6,000, with annual increments of $300 to $6,900. The county board of health, in a report signed by ex -war- den John .Morrissey, chairman, recommended that a bylaw be passed for the licensing and �operation of nursing homes in he county. It w. s explained t the Municipar Amendment ct, 1965, empowers a coun- cils of all munici lities to pass such bylaws. order that local municipalities may receive subsidy on payments for indi- gent patients in nursing homes, a bylaw must be passed stipu- lating the minimum require- ments in maintenance of the nursing homes. Reeve Calvin Krauter, of,Brus- sels, called attention to the re- quirement that in homes of un- der 50 beds a registered nurse or assistant must be on duty 24 „hours.4 a day, and that in homes ,of 50 beds or more a registered nurse must be on' duty at all times. He pointed out that such staff is hard to obtain. "This may clean up some homes that are not so good," he said, "but it makes it diffi= cult for those who are trying to run good homes." "Will it stop nursing homes that haven't the required reg- istered nurses?" asked Reeve John Corbett, of Hay. "No doubt this will be en- forced ron new homes," said Warden Glenn Webb. Register• ed nurses are not available any- way. This will be under the health department and Dr. AI- dis. Certainly we want con- trol." The report was adopted. least 10 per cent of its total assessment to school operation. Only a small portion of Morris Township is within the secon- dary school area. Boyd Taylor, RR 3, Walton, has been the re- presentative for the past five years. u��n� Vu�wn Bid dor bra Huron Avoids Precedent Unwilling to set a precedent by making a grant to the build- ing fund of a privately operat- ed home, Huron county council by a 35-4 vote rejected an ap- plication from Blue Water Rest Home at Zurich for $130,000. It had been supported by a four man delegation earlier in the session, and was supported in the vote by Reeves John H. Cor- bett, of Hay; Archie Ethering- ton, Usborne, and Milton Oesch, of Zurich, also, deputy reeve Delbert Geiger, of Hay. Reeve 4Reg JewQ11, Goderich, chairman of the finance com- mittee, which reported adverse- ly, said the members had met that morning and "the feeling was that we should not get in- volved in any further kinds of enterprise. The county is con- tributing, to five hospitals. An- other reason that if we did get into this, it would mean a two - mill increase." Deputy reeve Geiger: "Do the committee members not feel that this at a later date could be quite a saving in a number of dollars at our county home. t would like a recorded vote, to see how many councillors are in favor of giving some sup- port to a home such as this." Reeve Corbett: "I think this is a great help to the county. It is situated in a very good place, and great credit goes to those men around Zurich who have given their time and gone ahead with this." Reeve J. P. Gandon, Exeter: "It may be that the men who have inaugurated this have done a 'fine thing for their commun- ity, but this county is already involved in the field of provid- ing homes for senior citizens, and the amount involved here would go a long way toward providing facilities under con- trol of the county. The other thing we had to face was that if -we set a precedent here, any community in this county could form such a home and would expect and deserve the same WICKS' WEEK —By BEN WICKS "Er ... excuse me, sir, it's i ail over;" -- NOTICE -- For Co -Op Insurance Celi W.

This could cre- ate a problem so far-reaching I do not think the finances of the county could cope with it" Reeve Wilmer Hardy, Col- borne: "Perhaps in a year or two a smaller amount could be provided by the county for a number of these homes." The report of Z't1s finance committee, duly adoppfd, pro- vided for a grant of $92,000 to the building fund of Alexandra and Marine General Hospital, Goderich. This is based on 46 beds,, and will be paid "as funds are available." The Godericif board plans to demolish the old part of the hospital, the' form- er M. C. Cameron residence, rebuilt. County council appointments to district secondary schools are the same as last year: Wing- hame, John Brewer; Seaforth, Russell Bolton; Goderich, Rus- sel Kernighan; Clinton, R. K. Peck; Exeter, -Kenneth Johns. Appointments of Mr. Johns and Mr. Peck are for three years, the others for one year. On the South Huron board with Mr, Johns are Roy Morenz and Elmer Bell. On recommendation of the legislative and educational com- mittee, presented by Reeve Ken- neth Stewart, McKillop, council concurred in a resolution from North Norwich Township pro- posing that private schools op- erated by various groups be brought up to the standard of public schools in the same area. Reeve Stewart, speaking to the report, noted a lack' of in- terest in civic affairs by ele- mentary and high school stu- dents, and also a lack 9f knowl- edge on the part of these stu- dents in matters pertaining to all levels of government. The place to remedy this would be in the school curriculum. He, therefore, moved: "That we re- quest Hon. W. G. Davis to con- sider the possibility of adding to the present curriculum, at the level the minister would deem proper, a study in govern- ment procedure at alt levels." This was adopted, and copies ordered sent to the member for Huron and to other county councils. On recommendation of the warden's and personnel commit- tee, presented by Reeve Clifford Dunbar, of Grey, council in- creased the salaries of four members of the jail staff by $400 to $500. ROY N.
