A truly exciting presentation
in connection with., Midwestern
Development Coun'cil's report to
the Standing Committee on
Transport and Communication
was viewed by Huron County last
Thursday,
Walter Gowing, executive dir-
ector of MDC and his brother Ron
Cowing produced a series of
three-dimensional slides com-
plete with sound and special ef-
fects as well as articulate com-
mentary for the committee on
transportation which was in
Stratford recently.
Persons at-that hearing were
so impressed with the presenta-
tion, that -it has been requested
for showing at Ottawa later this •
summer.
"It is the first of its kind,"
eRplained Walter Cowing who
praised Professor John Horton
for his interest in the project.
Included, in the audio-visual
presentation is an important re-
commendation which has been
heartily endorsed by Byron Coun-
ty Council as follows:
"The Midwestern^ Develop-
ment •Council strongly recom-
mends the enactment of a joint
Federal, Provincial and Regional
study concerning all existing and
potential modes •of transporta-
tion .in; the Midwestern Region of
Ontario ... and those areas equal-
ly affected by changing conditions
in transportation." . '
The Development Committee
of, County Council .received en-
dorsation from council for its
suggestion that a study of all the
services to local citizens be made
including rail, road, water, and
air transportation for passengers
and freight at a tri-level of gov-
ernment.. It also requests that
the Ontario Minister of Trans-
portation and Communications
spearhead this urgent require-. ment. -
Huron Council has also ap-"
proved the appointment of Anson
McKinley deputy-reeve of Stanley
Township, as the county's repre-
sentative on the Lake Huron
Parkway Commission., just newly
formed.
Approval was gained for Am-
endment 1 to the• county draft

president for Huron No. 23 pre-
sided for the inaugural meeting at
Eidelweiss Rebekah Lodge on
June 28. One hund.•ed-and forty-
five past noble grands from Brus-
sels, Hensall, Exeter, Clinton,
Goderieh and Seaforth attended.
Mrs. Ruby Bell, Bonsai', re-
tiring D.D.P. presented the of-
ficial collar to Mrs. Sharp and
the newly-elected district sec-
retary-treasurerr, Mrs. James

Mrs. Sharp named the various
committees and announced the
various dates of installation of
the officers in all six lodges
next October. She presented Mrs.
Bell with the past district deputy
president's jewel. The assembly
president, Mrs. Mavis Slater of
Schreiber, plans to visit the dist-
rict next February.
Following the meeting Mrs.
Peter Malcolm favored with a
solo' and Mrs. Mae Hillebrecht
gave several readings.
Mrs. Charles Reeves and
committee served "a buffet lunch-
eon.
hourly rate for future audits.,
rather than by contracted price
as in the past.
"The auditor pointed out that ,
this change would be necessary
in view of continuing demands, of
the province in connection with"
new forms etc.; said Allan Camp-
bell, chairman of the executive
committee from McKillop, "and
of course, with the increasing
volume of work, being handled by
the county."
John Berry, clerk-treasurer,
stated that the year-end audit
could cost about $8,000 as oppos-
ed to about $4,000 previously.
Other reeves in the county re-
ported that audit costs had gone
up in their municipalities by 100
percent and more.

A most interesting set of
figures was presented to Huron
County Council Thursday at its
June session, by John McKinnon,
director of-social services for
Huron.
it showed the comparison of
gross costs for General Welfare
Assistance, nursing hotnes, sup-
plementary aid, and special as-
sistance for persons in Huron'
from January 1 to April 30 for
the years 1971 and 1972.
The figures are interesting
because in 1971 there was no wel-
fare county-wide and .opintoti hash
been that costs for welfare across
Huron would increase substan-
tially when county welfare was
established.
However, the overall increase
was only slightly Over $2,000 -
from $107,097.69 in 1971 to
$109,332.51 for the same period

"I am finding great resources-
in our county and believe that
with a little organization, more
people cduld become involved,
both as, participants and lea-
ders", continued Mrs. Couper.
"There could be greater contact
one with another in Huron County
towns- and villages and much
wider exposure to arts, crafts,
and theatre could take place."
She had a new idea which

of her listeners.

"They have made some weaving

children with whom I have been
working with crafts have visited
the county home with me and
worked with the residents. I
suggest that it would be for the
well being of our senior citizens
in these horhes to have closer

I should like to recommend
that county council give serious
future consideration to the es-
