In his response, Mr. Hanly indicated that five Huron nun- icipalities would benefit. "It was my understanding, he said, "that the province was coming out with a new formula on subsidies, to be based on assessment and road mileage. If you had a high road mileage and low assessment the subsidy would be increased accordingly, from 50 per cent to a maximum of 80. Municipalities with high enough assessment to give them a $600-permile ration would still receive 50 per cent. They have not named the municipalities it will affect in Huron, but there are five that will benefit, and they will be receiving word in the next few days: Grey, Turn -- berry, Morris, McKillop and East Wawanosh." Replying to an enquiry from Reeve Adair about urban, muni- cipalities, Mr. Hanly said: "Hon. Mr. MacNaughton explained that they had increased subsi- dies to towns on connecting links and storm sewers and could not afford to go any far- ther at present."

Major items in the 1963 road program, now near completion, were reconstruction of Road 6 in Usborne, $125,000; the Jer- vis bridge north of Holmesville, $45,000; 150 -foot bridge on Road 7 in Turnberry, $70,000; and maintenance costs of $320,- 000, including $125,000 for win- ter control. The grading and granular base on development road 669, from Brussels to Highway 86, is more than half finished, chairman ban Beuerman said in the committee's report. The contract with George ftadfaar4 Construction provides for com- pletion by July 31. Assurance has been given that funds will be available to pave this road in 1964. Grading and granular base on Development Road 670, from Seaforth to Walton, is complete, and funds are to be available for hot mix paving in 1964. As rept•rted earlier, Hon. C. S. MacNaughtan has designated County Road No. 4, Crediton to King's Highway 81 (10.1 miles) as a development road for pre - engineering in 1964. If funds are made available at the same rate as this year it will be pos- sible to schedule complete grad- ing, granular base and struc- ture in 1965 and paving in 1966. "If we ever hope to improve our 400 miles to first-class stan- dard we should be building 20 miles a year," said County En - COUNCIL HONORS HISTORIAN, UNVEIL PLAQUE TO GAVIN GREEN The late Gavin Green, long proprietor of the "Old Curios- ity Shop" on Hamilton Street here, some years ago assembled a collection of antique articles which proved the forerunner of today's famed Huron County Pioneer Museum. Inlater years he gave many articles to the museum and at his death, in 1961, six months short of the century mark, left a cash be- quest. On Tuesday afternoon coun- ty council honored his memory at the unveiling of a plaque erected near the entrance of the museum, which occupies the former Central Schoolbuilding, a large frame addition in the rear, and which, in the opinion of the curator, needs another addition 60 by 80 feet. The plaque was unveiled by Mrs. P. J. Green of Goderich, a niece of the late Gavin Green. Others participating were Reeve Ivan Haskins of Howiek, chair- man of council's property com- mittee, who had charge of the program; Warden Walter J. Forbes; Reeve Frank Walkom of Goderich, and H. J. Neill, the curator. "Mr, Gavin Green," -the war - WIND • TORNADO • CYCLONE Insurance R. F.

We appreciate the gifts he made from time to time. Upon his death we re- ceived a cash donation to fur- ther the work of the museum. We considered At advisable at the time to, remodel the front ,entrance, and with county funds it enabled us to close in the office area and make it more comfortable for the personnel to work in." Mrs, Green said her kinsman always took an interest in the museum and was happy to do anything he couldfor,-44, Reeve Walkom spoke of the value of the museum as a tour- ist attraction. Earlier in the afternoon Mr, Neill had told council the mus- eum is overcrowded. "We are refusing valuable articles," he said. "To take care of dona- tions people wish to give us, we should have more room. "We need a building 60 by 80, at the back .of what we have, going out to Bruce Street. We should set up a drug store, a grocery store, furniture and other 'things, besides relieving the present museum of many articles, so the remainder can be put in better order. "We have had a real good year. We have had almost 22,- 000 registered, and a large school bus from Niagara is booked for Saturday, which is unusual at this time of year. I turned in $5,135,- and had the best of help all year. What the museum has cost from the start, I do not know, but I have turned in $44,631, and if every -I thing could be put down in fig- ures I am sure it has paid the highest dividends. of anything operated by the county." "Huron county museum is known far and wide throughout the province," said the warden, "and council gives the credit to you, Mr. Neill." WINTHROP Friends and neighbors gath- ered in Winthrop United Church Sunday school room on Thurs- day evening to honor Miss Bar- bara Driscoll, bride -elect of this month, with a miscellaneous shower.' The program was in charge of Mrs. E. Toll, which opened with "0 Canada" and a few words of welcome to the guests. A chorus by the five junior girls, Barbara McClure, Brenda Pryce, Marie McClure, Glenda Little and Janice McClure, was enjoyed by all. Mrs. Wesley Roe gave a very humorous reading and Mrs. Frank Johnston fav- ored with a piano selection. A food contest was conducted by Mrs. William Dodds. Margaret Hillen played an instrumental which was followed by a sing- song led by Margaret, with Mrs. Arnold Scott' at the piano. An- other piano number was given by Linda Somerville. Everyone enjoyed two solos by Evelyn Storey with her mother as ac- companist, The program closed with the trio, Margaret and June Hillen and Jean Patrick, singing two songs. The bride, her mother and the groom's mother, Mrs. McDonald, were escorted to the seats of honor by Elaine Beattie, Arlyne Powell add Sharon Somerville. Corsages were then pinned on the honored guests. Sharon Somerville read an appropriate address and the gifts were pre- sented by Elaine and Arivne. Barbara thanked everyone for the many lovely gifts, and after the singing of "For She's a Jol- ly Good Fellow•," lunch was served and a social hour spent. et gineer James Britnell, "but that is out of the question. On a reasonable and proper mill rate, seven or eight is ,all we can plan to build. We have many county roads carrying fewer than 100 vehicles a day, and we cannot justify Furst -class standard if we do not have to go back and rebuild what has already been done. . "We are rebuilding roads con- structed approximately 20 years ago, but I think we can expect a longer life in future. The in- crease in truck loads has been more than we should expect in the next 20." Warden Forbes commented upon the Jervis bridge, which has eliminated a steep, sharp turn, dangerous when icy and too narrow for passing. "You can go through there now and feel safe," he said, "It unites Goderich and Colborne Townships, and the people are happy with it" "We are running out of grav- el," reported Reeve Elgin Thompson of Tuckersmith. "You would not approve black sur- face on a road carrying less than 100 vehicles a day?" "The province would not pay subsidy," replied Mr, Britnell. "Anyway, there are other solu- tions. Calcium chloride will preserve gravel." "We in Huron are very for- tunate to have a man of Mr. Britnell's calibre as engineer," said the warden, as the report was adopted. "Let us face it; he is a hard-working, conscien- tious man." (Applause). Pave Way For Added Rooms A proposal, discussed at the September session of County Council, to use ground -floor staff quarters as accommodation for Huronview residents, was ap- proved on Tuesday on recom- mendation of the board of man- agement. Council authorized the board to proceed with the work at an approximate cost of $15,000. The department of public welfare will subsidize this to the extent of 50 per cent, said Reeve Clifford Dun- bar, of Grey, chairman of the committee. "It is very essential that this be done," he said, "to increase our accommodation for this type of resident." The recommendation men- tions "female bed care," but superintendent Harvey John- ston, speaking later: "It looks like we will not use all for fe- male care, but some for rnale. With the setup down there, per- haps it could be used for both." Mr. Johnston also indicated that the cost "might go to $18,- 000." Answering an enquiry by Mr. Dunbar, he said that parti- tions between the single rooms in the main part of the home could be taken out, clothes closets removed, and accommo- dation increased in that way, "We are going to have to tell some people they will have to stay home until the (ground floor) changeover is made," he said. We have in residence 205 people, and a number in hospi- tal. In 1960 we had 105 -exact- ly 100 more now. There are 83 male, 122 female. Just now there is a greater number of male applications. Admissions this year were 58. At present more are applying than we have beds for. "We have 23 residents under 60, an average age of 49. hn the 60-69 age group we have 20; from 70 to 79, there are 58. The 80-90 group, by far our largest, numbers 80. We have 23 between 90 and 99; one lad) over 100. The average age of those over 60 is 79. The EMO director was down talking things over, and one topic was how much supplies we kept on hand. I went over September to see the different items used, and found these: 770 pounds beef, 563 of pork and prepared meat, 150 pounds of fish, 270 dozen eggs, 80 pounds cheese, 50 gallons ice cream, 360 pounds butter, 110 eight -gallon cans of milk, 2,083 pounds of bread, 707 pounds of buns and rolls, 36 pounds jello powder, 400 pounds sugar, 170 gallon tins of vegetables, be- sides vegetables from our own garden, 75 pounds oatmeal, 150 boxes cereal, 4,000 individual tea bags, and 58 pounds coffee, "How many paying resi- dents?" asked Reeve Tom Lei- per, Hullett. "Somewhere around 80," Mr. Johnston estimated. Four of the staff are living in at present, he said. There have been seven or eight.
