Skinner and Road Supt. E.Borutski attending. Two ratepayers, Mrs .Chas.Pearson and Mrs .Robt .Fournier were present. Capt .Hubert Tilley of the Salvation Army was wel- comed and gave a resume of the work of the Army in the area which they cover (from Wawa to the Mani- toba border .) Describing the various aspects of welfare work undertaken, Capt.Tilley said there is great concern over the increasing number of very young unmarried mothers and to care for them a home has been opened at the Lakehead. He told of aid given to burned out families in the district and of the Army's new under- taking in joining the group which attempts to prevent suicide by depressed people. A call to a listed phone number brings a response, either in person, or by telephone conversation--whichever means seems best. There is positive proof of some success in this field of endeavour. Reeve Harness thanked Capt.Tilley for his informative talk and promised that consideration toward a grant to aid the Army would be given at budget-setting time. No word has been received re the re-patriation of Sylvia Morris which the town had undertaken. One other request for relief was received for a former resident now living in eastern Ontario. Clerk Skinner advised council of a conversation with D.C .Batchelor, Dept .of Highways, regarding the subway construction and that Dr .Cornell had accepted his three-year contract as M.O.H. A suggestion re Centennial project was received from Mrs. R.Macadam, that the road to Collingwood Bay (Schreiber beach on Lake Superior) be improved and the beach area made into a public park free to townspeople. This was filed with councillor McCuaig who suggested that the time limit for simiJar ideas be set at May 31 in order that council has sufficient time} to consider which to adopt. Word was received from A.R.Morpurgo, District Planning Advisor, of a workshop on municipal affairs | planned for latter part of March or early April.
