SKATERS PLAN SHOW '
Determined that lack of ice would :Kit -prevent them practising, these members of the
Seaforth Skating Club made use of their time and worked away in the auditorium while waiting
for a hockey game to finish so they could get on the ice. The concern arises from the fact
that the annual Skating Club Show is on Sunday afternoon. This year's presentation is entited
"Around the World". Shown above as they practise a number are (left) Susail :Pullman and

appointed.
Mr. Clarke, who this week
is in London attending a confer-
ence of area managers, joined the.

ten years ago at the time the
store in Seaforth was opened.
For several years he was
manager during the summer
months. He was at Tobermory
before taking over as manager
in Seaforth in 1965.
An informal gathering,in his

will open up to labour groups,
women's organizations, service
clubs and church. groups if a
proposed restructuring of the
Council takes place", said Walter
W. Gowing, Preston, General
Manager of Midwestefn Ontario
Development Council speaking in
Seaforth Thursday night.
In his address at • a special
seminar on. "planning for the
future of Huron and Perth"
sponsored by the rural life
division of the Huron-
Perth Presbytery of the United
Church he outlined significant
changes to the four-county
Development Council that will
create five new sections includ-
ing agriculture, educatiOn,•
industry and commerce, tour-
ism and a general section.
"Who better than the farmer
knows the problems of agricul-
ture and how to deal with them",
said Mr. Gowing. "The same
holds true in 'the other sections
of the restructuring process",
he said.
S peak i ri r e ann trig -
it was pointed but that the Pilate
One analysis released last July
for the midWestern region of
Ontario will' form one-tenth of
an overall provincial economic
plan.
Mr. Gowing also warned of
the growing effects of the Toronto
centered region plan on the fringe
areas of this concept, Huron and
Perth Counties.
"The Development Council is
the voice of 'the people 1Mng
in the midwestern region", said
Mr. Gowing, "and deals with
overall economic planning and
acts as an advisory board to
the regional development branch
of the Department of Treasury
and Economics".
He outlined other functions-
of the Council, including rel-
search, 'industrial promotion,
tourism development, community
affairs and seminars and general
co-ordination of municipal pro-
grams.
The meeting also included a
panel made up •of Mayor DOn
Symons of Clinton, Reeve Charles
Thomas of Grey Township and
Ross Milton, administrator of
the Huron Centre of Conestoga
College.
The first panelist, Reeve
Thomas said he represented the
rural point of view. "Rural
people are at a disadvantage
with regional development for
rural •people are hindered, by the
tax structure,P lie stated.
:Mr. Thomas compared his
township ,of 1700 persons to an
urban centre with double the
population He said both munic-
ipalities would pay the same
county rate to services such as
Public Health Units or 'library
facilities but his township
had only half the number of
people to take advantage of the
services. Concluded Mr.Thomas:
"In order to have good regional
development we need tax reform!'
Mayor Don -Symons, second
panpliq to speak, said a meeting
suc4r'as this provided a great
opportunity for people to get their
feet wet. "This is essentially
a rural area but the towns are
necessary for us to shop. They
offer recreation." he said.
Speaking of the closing of
the Canadian Forces Base at
Clinton Mayor Symons said it
concerns all in this area, not
just the people in Clinton. He
reported since the announcement
of the Base closing, Clinton'
population has slipped from 3300
to 2975.
Mr. Milton in his remarks
talked about Huron County,
looking back to its 'early days
and compared them to modern
times. He spoke of the high cost
to the farmer of bringing auto-
mation to the farm by "investing
Provision of a sanitary sewer
outlet for Seaforth Public School
moved a step forward Tuesdiy
night when council at a special
meeting accepted in principal a
proposal from town engineer,
James F. MacLaren Ltd. of
London to tie the school into the
existing town system,
Estimated cost is $76,000.
Necessity for sewer service
arose with the decision of Huron
' Board. of Education to enlarge
,Seaforth Public School so as to
accommodate additional area
pupils. The school now is served
by a septic tank and this will be
elim' flared by the proposed con-
struction necessitating either a
new septic tank installation or a
town connection.
The requirement was first
drawn to council's attention early
last October when -the Board
through director oUeducation, D.
J. Cochrane asked if council
would consider a request to have
.the provision for sanitary sewers
to the school given top priority.
The alternative was construction
of a separate disposal facility
to serve the school which, it was
pointed out,' would be a costly
duplIdation since eventually it
was expected town service would
become available.
Plans for the school addition
are almost complete and board
members were told last week
that tenders should be called in
mid April with completion set for
September.
At a special meeting on March
1st Council instructed the Mac-
Laren firm to explore ways in
in wheels and horsepower".
In the question and answer
period which continued to 11 P.M.
Mayor Symons spake of planning
at the local level and Mr. Gowing
stressed the necessity in planning
to know what the people on the
...father side of the fence are doing."
In a discussion on tlgy
population explosion in • the
Toronto, Kitchener, Waterloo
areas, Mr. Gowing said it would
be necessary for us to look at our
areas to determine what would be
the growth potential so that we
could channel the overflow from
outside in an orderly fashion --
not 19* houses get built down every
sideroad.
When the question. of a time
when the population might have to
be restricted, Janis Whitman of
Seaforth stated: ' Paul Erlich
says the world can only support
3.5 billion and there over 6 billion
now, so it is evident we are over-
which service could be provided
and which would perm it maximum •
incorporation within a toiyn-wide
system when such a :system
becom es a reality.
The MacLaren proposal in-
cludes ' a graVity sewer along
Market Street from the school to
Jarvis Street and this will even-
tually pecome part of the overall:
town's sanitary system.
From Jarvip Street a force
'main will lift the sewage into the
existing sewer, at the laneway
midway between High Street and
Main Street. The force•main will
be abandoned eventually upon
coMpletion of the sewer system
for the town.
The construction of -the 1800
feet.of gravity main is estimated
to cost $51,200. It includes
625' feet Of 8 inch gravity main
and 1075 feet of 10 inch gravity
main.
The construction of the 600
feet of force main and pipping
station will cost an estimated
$6,140., :
Contingencies are provided
for in the amount of $5,660.
Design and supervision are
estimated to cost $13,000. The
engineers estimate that some
of the cost of superViPion could
be avoided if supervision was
provided by the town. If con-
struction proceeded concurrently
with construction of a newlagoon
installation, supervisors from
the engineering consultants could
be employed on both projects with
a reduction in costs.
Clerk Ernest Williams was
instructed to arrange a joint,
crowded. We complain the urban
sector is expanding at a far
greater rate than the aural sec oar
but we should educational
inform both urban and rural of t e
problem."
Miss
is
Whitman complained
that Huron County sends 23% of
the Grade 13 graduates out, there-
fore there are '15% without
standard qualifications. "'We
can't ,•evea offer urban sectors
skilled labour. Rural education
has to bp adapted. The attitudes
of students towards the goals
have to be changed", she con-
cluded,
Reeve Thomas complained:
"There is a brain drain to the
cities.''
Rev. Bert Daynard, FL& 1,
Staffa, chairman of the Rural
Life Division was chairman for
the evening with Rev. J. Clifford
Britton of Seaforth, moderator
of the
meeting with the Huron Board of
Education to `discuss sharing of
costs of the installation.
The Huron Board, of Educat-
ion is adding an addition at the
school to provide facilities for
the students from Grades,4, 5,
6, 7 and 8 of the McKillop one'-
room schools which will close
at the end of the school term
in June.

hall in St. Columban now re- ••
tired, members- of Father
Stephen Eckert Council 5289,
Seaforth and area, marked the
occasion in a ceremony follow-.
ing the monthly meeting Thurs-
daY,,evening.
,Charles Rau, Zurich, a
former Grand Knight of Council
5289, presided and indicated the
results that could be achieved
through unity. It was because
of co-operation and' unity that It
had been possible to clear this
hall of debt.
Under a plan worked out in
1968 arrangements were made to
retire a' proportion of the fatal
debt each month. The sequence
in which individual amounts were
paid was determined by a draw.
The •first amount retired was that
of Ken Middelholtz and the last,
in .February was 'that of J. R.
Flannagan. '
• The hall is contained in the
