. County Council Concerned | On Health Unit Merger Concern regarding the fu- «< ture of the Ontario County Health Unit was voiced at last week's . session of the Ontario County Council. Tt was reported that while Osh. awa had approved the admis- sion of the county unit to the York-Oshawa District Unit, « York County 'has delayed a decision to its February ses- sion. Warden Robert Timbers, Administrator William Mann- ing and Reeve Wesley Stitt, chairman of the 1969 health unit board, have been auth. orized to continue negotia- tions to further council's de- cision, at its amalgamation with the district unit. At its Thursday session the council authorized the 1969 health board to carry on the administration of the Ontario County Unit on an interim basis until the unit becomes part of the district unit. A tentative budget will be pre- a pared on the basis of a 75 per cent grant and the gov- ernment will be so advised. Council adopted the posi- tion that it is prepared to enter the larger district unit on the existing terms but that it feels it should be eli- gible for the 75 per cent grant as of Jan. 1, 1970. The provincial department of health was asked to confirm the. increased grant before Feb. 6th, -- | The opinion was expressed York County might have the feeling it wanted to remain aloof from the proposed dis- trict and become a unit with- in its own region. The opin- ion of many councillors was as the Ontario County coun- Mental Health Topic OF Speaker Every adult who has felt the stresses and strains of daily life will be able to ap. preciate the value of a dis- cussion of "Mental Health in Today's world." This will be the topic of discussion and of an address By Rev. Louis Martin in a meeting of interested adults in Port Perry Baptist Church Saturday evening at 8 p.m. Rev. Martin is well quali- fied to address such a meet- ing, being a cainsellor and fulltime executive secretary of The Christian Counselling Service in Toronto. This or- ganization of professional so- cial workers, headed up by the chief socjal worker from Clarke Institute aims at of- fering top quality profession- al help to those with emo- tional or marital problems from a distinct evangelical Christian viewpoint. In addition to speaking to this meeting which is open to all adults in the area, Mr. Martin will be speaking on "Steps to a Happier Marri- age" in the Younger Adult Bible Class Sunday morning at 10, and preaching in the | 11 a.m, service. Mr. Martin and his wife, both talented musically will be singing in these various services. These meetings are being sponsord by a group 'known as the Tri-M, a couple's and Younger Adult club with a view to helping adults meet | the demands of today's com- plex life, : SHEE REET INE EARLE ERY A LEY 4 SY i KARAS RN A cil had taken the position it would be willing to form a district unit with Oshawa, it would be receptive to such a course of action. i It was explained that. if a three-unit district was set up, Ontario County wou'd have two representatives on the board, Oshawa two and York County three. The province would name one representa. tive from each of the three areas. No Fatalities For Second Years Ontario County Council was told 'by Construction Safety Inspector H. S. Carfer, recently that for the second consecutive year no fatal construction accidents had occurred in the county. Two "stop work" orders were issued and it was not necessary to take action against those 'engaged in con- struction work. Eight hun- dred and twenty-two inspec- tions were made and 22§ "Orders to Comply" were is sued to rectify unsafe condi- tions. Some Merchants Oppose properties will be connected to, front on, or abut on the above - mentioned sewage works hereby agree to pay the following - associated annual charges for the same by signing this petition. The annual charges are as follows: (a) frontage rate of 40 cents per foot. (b) connection charge of $14.14 per year or a commuted value of $200 due and payable in the calendar year in which such sewage service con- nection is installed. rate for sewage service of 50.5 cents per thous- and Imperial gallons which will be collected as 240 per cent sur- charge of the annual water rate or an equi- valent frontage rate of 103 cents per foot where there is no connection to the municipal water works. It is understood that we may be allowed to commute the frontage and/or connect- ion charge if so desired and that a reduction of not more than 50 per cent of the flankage will be made. ¢ eo The petition does not only involve the merchants on Queen Street but quite a few householders in various sect- ions of the Village. It will be time consuming to visit all these and also convince them about the benefit the changes. 7, This will mean another de- lay and as one councillor said, '"'Chamber of Commerce won't (c) have to worry about Queen]; St. being dug up during Cen- tennial Year, construction won't even have started during 1971." He was referring to a letter from the C of C, read earlier, asking the Coun-! cil to use its influence on the! Ontario Water Resouces Com-! mission to 'have the sewers! on Queen Street completed before Centennial.

She also told us how much it] costs to geta divorce, what happens to the children when| their parents get a divorce and how long it takes to get a divorce. We think 'it is better to stay married. ' We all were very pleased that she came to our assembly, and we enjoyed it very much. Crossing Guard Will Continue Duties At R. H.

Voices Opposition to Oshawa Region Opposition to the proposal that Darlington and Cart. wright Townships and Bow- manville become part of the Oshawa regional government area was voiced by Ex-War- den Merrill Van Camp, of Blackstock, at the inaugural session of the Durham and Northumberland County Council.
