The Huron Expositor, 1971-01-14, Page 14Over the next six months, many of Ontario's old buildings will again come under the scrutiny of a team representing the Canadian Inventory of -Historic Building. The ten-year national inventory designed' by the National Historic Sites Ser- vice of the National and Historic Parks Breach, Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, was initiated last June in all ten provinces and the Yukon Territory to locate and identify 100,000 historic struct- ures threatened with destruction in the face of urban redevelop-- Meat, highway construction or simple neglect. Historic 'buildings in Galt, Guelph and centres , northeast of Cornwall will be systematidally surveyed in the first part of the three-phased, inventory. The survey techninue7 of the first phase involves recording some 78 items of arehitettural infor- mation about each building on coded sheets designed for com- puter processing. • -The firSt phase will-record —the exteriors of 100;000 bOildings in five 'years to produce a broad view 'of our architectural herit- , The recond phase will deadrihe the interiors and archi- Idetitrai details 1 of i0„000 iiuiloings chosen from the results ot,iihaSOIMe.

Bailey in, speaking to the annual, Members of Parliament" dinner at Clinton said such a program would be helpful to farmers' until some way is found to pay_them a realistic return for their products. He said of all farming problems, the cost of labour is one of the most serious. Farm help has become almost impossible to obtain because of government policies in, welfare, unemployment insurance and minimum wage legislation. 'When an'able-bodied man can apply for., and receive a grams," he said in his brief. Mr. McKinley said he couldn't agree more. Fruit growers, he said, were unable to hire compt tent labour and had to import it. But the government, he said, seemed to be hindering this by saying .the transient workers should pay some of the cost of travelling to the jobs. Gordon Hill pointed. out that much of what Mr, Bailey advocated would be implemented under a negative income tax plan. The cost, of this so far, Mr. Gaunt said, was prohibitive. Cost might be cut, according to Mr.. MfKinley, if all unemployment /grid welfare programs. were administered by one department but, he noted, this would mean a great deal of trouble in winning acceptance from the civil service. TELEPHONES of„..our church, how the steward- ship, Finance and Mission Ser- vice tie together, stressing that those who Are strong should help the weak, and the weak should accept -from the strong. An account of locations of mis- sionary work yin different coun- tries was read by Mrs. Walter Bewley, Mrs. 'Allan 20941, Mrs. James Clark and Mrs. W.C. Hac kwell. Mrs. Wm. Roe presided for the business opening with a poem "Before you let the Old Year go". Minutes were read and approved by M rs„ Allan McCall, also thank- you cards from Mrs. George Fox, Mrs. Torrence Dundas, Mrs. Gordon McGavin and Debbie Wey. The years reports from the Units were given by Mrs. W.C. Hackwell for the Walton Unit, Mrs. George -McCall for the 8th year 36 Huron farmers participated in the Canfarm pro- gram, an extensive system of farm accounting and keeping of records. The number of farmers taking advantage of this program is expected to double in 1971. ON THE MARCH , "Huron County farmers are on the march." These were the words of Jack Stafford , the president •of the Huroh Federation of Agriculture in his address at the annual "Members of Parliament" dinner held in Clinton last week. Attending ' with Huron MP Robert McKinley and Huron- Bruce MPP Murray Gaunt were chairmen of each of the commodity groups of the county Federation of Agriculture. Provincial Treasurer C. S. MacNaughton was unable to attend. Stafford went on to say that the enthusiasm, interest and in- volvement - during .1970 by Huron farmers has convinced him they are marching in the right direCtion. Of the 5,800 Individual Service Memberships sold in the entire Province of Ontario during the past year, 65,p are held by Huron County farmers. 'We hope to double this figure in the next 12 months.. Special thanks go to Mason Bailley who sold, nearly half of our memberships. Reaction to our recent blitz campaign proves that farmers are willing to join, if the program is explained to them." added Stafford. INSURANCE • A brief from 'the Insurance committee of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture in his address at the annukl “membefs INSURANCE A brief from the Insurance committee of the Huron County Federation ' of Agriculture lawsto members of parliament asked for clarification of the concerning- responsibility of farm owners in regard to snowmobile riders being injured while operating on farm properties. The brief 'read as follows: "As more and more' snowmo- biles are being sold and as their use is being restricted in towns, and cities, they are becoming more of a problem In the country Fences are being cut, wildlife threatened and more important, people are being injured and killed. ' Approved ,helmets are mandatory for motorcycle riders and it would seem reasonable that they be also made mandatory for snowmobile operators and, passengers. As. the present law is very' unclear as to the responsibility ,of the property owner in case 'of injuries to a visitor,.we want to know exactly what is the liability of the land owner • to persons 'who have asked permission, not asked permission, or;" a trespasser to cross land for any reason. If the present law is such that the property owner can be held responsible for injuries to these people, it must be Changed to protect the interests of the property owner." In presenting the brief,. chairman Bruce Shapton said, "we shouldn't be held responsible for other people's foolishness. Even if 'we do allow them to use our lands and don't charge any fees, the responsibility of any' injuries should not be ours. The law in effect is apparently an old British law set down some 400 years ago. This' law should be brought up to date and tomorrow is not too soon." POLLUTION . Capital grants or loW-cost loans, to allow farmers to purchase pollution control equipment was suggested by Ontario Federation of Agri- culture president Gordon Hill. .11111 went on to say, "Animal waste' is our big problem with farm pollution:- More research is needed intontrolling odors. While • farmers are expected to purchase the necessary equipment to alleviate odors, there is no way for them to regain their invest- Ment. The prime beneficiaries are other people." The 'subjeCt was brought up by Heron F of A president Jack Stafford iri his yop,end address who, asked-three questions. They were: Are we to be harassed by laws- and regulations more stringent than producerS in cm. peting provinces or countries face? Will livestock producers be compelled' to invest scarce farm funds for pollution abatement equipment without adequate increase in returns? Will out, urban friends be permitted to_ establish residence to enjoy the benefits of country living and then,,-later on cause problems because of farm smells? Several cases now before the courts in Huron -and Bruce counties where neighhours are complaining about the smell from nearby farming facilities 'were discussed. It was pointecrout that in many cases- the farming—, operations had conformed to all rules and recommendations laid down by the Department of Agriculture, 4 Ontario Water Resources Commission and other authorities. Don, Pullen, Agriculture Representative . for Huron, said later in the meeting that research was going on by the Department of Agriculture but that solutions would never come fast enough in 'face of the growing pollution "'problem. . , flackwell, Mrs. Wm, Roe, Mrs. Mac Sholdice and Mrs. Ross Bennett.

FARM GRANTS • Huron County farmers are' taking -full advantage of the numerous progfams available through the Department of, Agriculture and Food and the two top levels of government. Ag. representative Don Pullen. said Huron farmers were the tliggest users"of capital grants. A grant-of $2,500 is available to. each limier in the proyince for capital improvements., At the same time Pullen said, last Team Will Check Historic Building ready researchers are delving into town and city records to determine the building date, architect, and original owner of recorded structures. 'it4s the first computer survey for' architeCture of such scale known to have been implemented any- where in the world. The inventory will serve as a data bank and economical plan- ning tool to assist local councils, municipal, provincial or federal agencies in pinpointing the condition, quality and utility of thousands of historic structures. Resalting from three months of field work carried out this summer, over 10,000 buildings were surveyed across the c'bun- try; some 2,000 'in Toronto, Hamilton and Unionville. In Toronto a, sampling of central housing and commercial Struct- ures was taken. Many of the old building of Hamilton, es-. pecially vulnerable in the' path of redevelopment, were special subjects for survey. In . Unionville, many buildings erected before 1880 and threatened with highway dev'elop- ment wore recorded. The survey teams were hired in the areas where .they will work and_ team captain's trained by the Ottawastaff of architect- *Oat historians.
