It was confirmed to The Strat- ford Beacon-Herald by county clerk- treasurer John Berry, who is secre- tary to the committee. This was the day after Mr. Berry had sent a letter to local newspapers in Huron County advis- ing them that the report of the committee is confidential until re- leased, requesting them to restrain comment until the report was re- leased. Mr. Berry was undoubtedly act- ing at the behest of the committee, for it little befits an appointed pub- lic servant to attempt to tell any public journal what it should not publish. Could the report be packed with such a dynamic recommendation that it would be dangerous for the public to know? Hardly, since the decision could only be to quit the EMO or stay with it. Unless the committee is acting illegally it should not be ashamed of its report or recommendation. If the members of county coun- cil, outside the committee, have ad- vance kpowledge of the report,.why ;should not -the public? Does the com- mittee believe that something known by 37 county councillors, plus sev- eral appointed officials, is really a secret? Committees that act on public business behind closed doors cannot expect to do so for long. The public has a right to know and will event- ually demand it. If Huron decides to abandon EMO, let it be an expression of the public through its elected represen- tatives. Members of local emergency planning groups might then be more willing to accept it. The callous comment of N. W. Timmerman, Ontario director of EMO, that it is "Huron County's problem," and refusal to discuss the matter point up the great conflict in EMO. Mr. Timmerman's office wants to force a standardized emergency measures plan on all county emer- gency planning groups. The plans of capable local officials and volun- teers, familiar with local conditions, are ignored. And this could be a very co- gent reason why Huron would quit EMO. The provincial government should not allow such a reason to exist. i The Goderich Signal-Star • Authorised by the Pbst Office Department as Second Clam Mall and for payment of postage In cash Subscription Rates: Canada U.S.A. $4.00 per Annum 65.00 per Annum Advertising Rates on Request P.O.
