to merge social services YOU COULDNT meet a more pleasant snake than Togo Togo like other boa constrictors sheds its skin three times a year simply by crawling out of it Togo looks quite pretty when the sun glistens on his skin and snows up the colors of blue purple beige and brown He shares the home of Paul Nielsen where he is kept caged most of the time Togos favorite meal is rats and when fed about once a month he kills them himself with one quick crushing motion Residents protest Ask hearing route switch For the first time in its nineyear history the Friends of the Museum is launching a political strategy to protect the County Museum President Judith says she Is disturbed by the altitude of Regional Govern ments chairman and councillors who fail to sec the value of County Museum and are willing give it to anyone who will accept It This will be our first step in changing the attitude of Regional Government that we are extra baggage Halton County Museum at resent Is under the of the Community Services Committee of the Region It Is the wish of the Halton Region Conservation Authority to explore the possibility of having the museum and the Kelso Conservation Area ad ministered by one body To this end a fourman com mittee has been formed of two members of the Region and two of HRCA Co incidental ly all four men are members of RCA Loaded dice The Museum Friends feel this Is playing with loaded dice and will ask for repre sentation on that committee At an emergency meeting Wednesday evening they also made a decision to fight for their right to stay at the Kelso site on the grounds of the pioneer Alexander family They also want no direct connection with the new Provincial Agricultural Museum currently under con struction nearby In a letter filed with Regions Community Ser vices Committee chairman Brock Harris suggests that The present location of the Museum and buildings is not possibly best site for this type of operation He further suggests the Authority and Regional Council seriously consider the matter of incor porating the County Museum Into the Provincial Museum Complex County Museum will vanish if this happens president Goebelle says The Provincial Museum is an agricultural museum and was never Intended to take on the identity of Halton County History Museum friend Ray Trace feels the buildings at the Museum complex cant be duplicated In another location The main building here the Alexander barn has been here for a long time he said This place has history and atmosphere the grounds arc beautiful and the staff and friends have put a lot of sweat Into them the past few years Every nail has a meaning Irene Saunders of Milton feels he people of should be protecting what they already have She agreed with president Goe- belie that the taxpayers would not take too kindly to hot dogs and hot chocolate being sold in the carriage house built as Centennial project It has always been Conservation Authority first around here and the museum last she said attention is given by politicians where pressure is felt president Goebelle commented You dont have be a cultural nut to pre serve your heritage and save things that cant be replaced So many councillors fall to give the museum any support But they dont have to be steeped in love of antiques to understand the need These artifacts were given in good faith and they were taken In good faith added Ms Saunders Helen Sovereign of felt the Conserva tion Authority should be em barrassed to move the museum from its present historical location Con servation Authority seems to be the wrong name for them she quipped Fire trap The matter of the present barn building being a flrctrap was rought up by Wilfrid Leslie a former member of Council for many years Gordon Gallagher warden of Halton County in 1964 and a member of council for years suggested a sprinkler system could easily be in stalled to protect the building from fire Regional government has so much on their plate they dont know what to deal with first he said Regional government is restricted as to what they can do The province gives them the authority but no financial help In his letter Mr Harris suggested if the Museum was lo be administered by the Conservation Authority at its present location the cost of operation and maintenance would require money from the Region of Halton lo the Conservation Authority to carry it out Boundaries of the and the Region differ considerably he paints out and since this would be somewhat of a unique arrangement It is very Questionable whether the could include the financing of the Museum in the general levy of the Authority since this involves the Regional Municipalities of Peel and It was agreed by the Friends this aspect of the would be great If RCA assumed respon sibility for the Museum It was suggested the people of Acton and Georgetown could be resentful if took it over as they arc not part of the HRCA but they are part of the Region Help In their efforts to save the Museum at its present location the Friends arc enlisting the help of all Womens Institutes in the County as well as any persons sympathetic to the museum President Goebelle con cluded by saying it was a simple case of the Con servation Authority wanting the land the museum now sits on Theyll rattle their sabre over here to get more land she said Offices for the health unit Childrens Aid and social and family service departments should be centralized under one roof In Hills Medical Centre the community services com mittee recommended this week At a meeting Monday the committee agreed to review costs of Its present operations in Georgetown and chart the proposed costs It was suggested the three offices could combine to share a small suite of rooms in the proposed new Hal ion Hills Medical Centre at Georgetown Hospital Administrator of social and family services Vivian told the committee his departments workload is growing In North and at this point the work in Halton Hills exceeds Miltons If the trend continues It will J Ik el be advisable to have the counselling service have its primary location in Halton Hills with an interviewing office in Milton Vivian HS HOLDEN OPTOMETRIST 822 A government modification in the NanticokePickering hydro transmission route an nounced last week has raised the opposition of the Scotch Block Ratepayers Associa tion since the change affects their property In a letter to the Minister of Energy the Hon K cough association trea surer Mary Timbers protests the deviation from that pro posed by Dr after his public hearings This Is a significant devia tion from the original Commission that is of great consequence to the resi dents the association who until recently were led to be lieve that in the event that the proposal for the middle route was accepted the line would pus north of number Five siderotic and so they would be affected less on modification The association treasurer pointed out thai references to lengthy public hearings could not be applied to the modification We feel our rights to prior consultation have been neatly sidestepped We are dismayed and deep ly upset that we have had no opportunity to offer any input to this government approved modification simply because we had no warning whatso ever that such a change might occur The Solandt proposals for Ihe hydro route would have taken the line east of highway above five before angling south to Intercept the main transformer UUon be tween the fourth and fifth line The Government modification took the line south along the railway track Just east of highway and over to the transformer sta tion It would seem that the double Jog that will be requir ed will entail a considerable increase in expenditure Mrs Timbers wrote The letter suggested the farmer the Sol proposal had an oppor tunity to submit input to the but residents by the new route had none The letter asks the minister for the rationale for changing the route Former area resident new MP Former area resi dent Crawford Douglas well known in this area Is the new Liberal MP for Bruce riding Douglas successfully con tested the seat July and
