HURON MUNICIPALITIES

A published report from To-
ronto regarding provincial gov-
ernment assistance to low as-
sment municipalities fo.kiroad
maintenance, including i snow-
plowing, was not entirely clear
to members of council. Deputy
clerk -treasurer B. G. Hanly, who
attended the conference of may-

zie, Ashfield; if he could elabor-
ate. 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."

Development Progra
ids Huron Road Bud
Huron county's road .budget
is up to a million and three-
quarters, but $580,00Q is for
development roads, payable in
full by the province, and sub-
sidies of $632,300 bring the
county's contribution down to
$533,000, or about one-third of
total expenditure.
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.

den said, "always took an in-
terest in the museum and in
historical events. 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.
