Winter's worst storm' hit the
area on„Saturday and Sunday and
piled up high snow drifts. A *
heavy fall of snow whipped up by
high winds made for problem driv
ing, blocked roads and poor. vis-
ibility 'on the week end.
It was a contrast to the spring-
like temperatures which we have
enjoyed,for several weeks now.'
Temperatures' as high as, 60 deg-,
rees and a complete absence of
snow had people believing that
spring had really come, but St.
Patricki day Saturday• certainly
changed this outlook.
Marth, through the years, has
proven to,be an unpredictable
month for weather. In 1947 the
great "train wreck", north of
Lucknow occurred in mid March.
Eighteen years ago, about March
20, 'the road to Wingham was
blocked in another March
blizzard.'
With the trees budding, the sap
running and many lawns raked by
March 16, it now seems that
spring will be a few days yet in
the coming as this is written

of Ontario that some serious
thoughts should be given to the
present policiet of government.
It was particularly evident in
Huron Riding,:a Conservative
stronghold for many years, both
provincially and .federally , that
the voter was disenchanted.
The days of hard-headed fam-
ily partisan politics appear4 to be
dying a slow death in Canada,
and rural Ontario is one of the last
to give up.
People have gradually begun to
think for themselves'.
We have heard stories.of early
days when the votes coUld be
accurately counted 'in a given
poll before the, election.
The last Federal election and
this most recent Provincial by-
election have proven that people
,are standing up and being counted
when the need exists.

The Ontario Department of

Several requests recently at .
village council meetings for ,
permission to'erect mobile hoMes,
build buildings, etc. has pointed
to the necessity of having some
type of zoning regulations for the
village.
From the comments of council,
it is apparent that the need for
zoning is realized and probabljr
will-receive further discussion in
weeks to corne'..
Because of the lack of planning
in the early years- of the establish-
ing of municipalities, When plan-
ning 'was unheard of and
unnecessary for those particular
times, many municipalities, have
grown with a 'bodge podge of hom-
es, businesset, sheds, bunt, pens,
fields arid streams.
Of course, most of the damage
was done years ago and village '
residents have to live with thit,
The 'town now has a building by-
law which forbids the' construction
of certain buildings and this can
effectively. control the .new con-
struction. •
What is needed now , and likely
will come to pass at an early tit' e
it, zoning 'which will set certain
areas of the villsge as residential,
commercial, industrial, etc.
What is needed immediately is a
subdivision designated for mobile
