County development
group urges use
of Clinton base
A county development
committee recommendation to
ask the Ontarid Department of
Education to "give every
consideration to using the
Canadian Forces Base, Clinton,
for educational purposes" was
approved Friday at the May
session Qf COtinCir. ;
The committee., noted ,a
"continuing need for expansion
of educational facilities both at
Conestoga College in Kitchener,
and Fanshawe College in
London".
The former base, the
committee pointed out,
"definitely lends itself to an
educational atmosphere".
It is felt that if the base was
used for educational purposes, it
would stimulate the economy
within Huron County as well as
save • capital cost required "to
expand facilities in other areas".
Copies of this resolution will
go out to the proper government
sources, the committee added.
As well, the committee gained
council's support to send a
recommendation to government
officials urging that a policy
similar to the one adopted in the
United States by the
Department of Defence
regarding the closing out of
military bases, be given serious
consideration.
A report on the procedure
followed in the USA when a
military base closes was
presented to council for study.
particularly in- the
neighbourhood of Highways 21
and 4, during the main hunting
season, it was decided at Huron
County Council Friday
afternoon.
Allan Campbell, McKillop,
chairman of the property
committee, told council his
committee would be meeting
with Goderich Town Council
officials to discuss "certain
aspects" of proposed improved
parking facilities at the
Children's Aid Society offices.
Campbell said parking could
be arranged on property
adjacent to the CAS offices, but
noted that this would put an end
to the park-like area that is
established there.
Campbell also reported that a
new agreement has been
forwarded to the Town of
Goderich . council concerning
parking privileges relative to the
Court House. This matter has
been under consideration for
some time and Campbell
promised a further report on the
matter in June.
Donald Lynn has been
engaged as a caretaker at a salary
of $4,500 per annum, effective
June 1.
The roof on the court house
has been repaired at an
approximate cost of $2,900. The
work qualifies for a 50 percent
subsidy from the province.

GEORGE THOMAS
FAIRSERVICE
George Thomas Fairservice of
Clinton, died May 24, 1970 in
Victoria Hospital, London. He
was 62,
Born on September 28, 1907,
he was the son of Win.
Fairservice and Addie Main of
Belmont Manitoba. He moved
from Manitoba to Hullett
Township in 1920 where he
farmed until he retired to
Clinton in 1954.
Surviving are four sisters, Mrs.
Ralph (Isabelle) Josling,
Goderich, Mrs. Mary Appleby,
Blyth, Mrs. Effie Finley,
Clinton, and Mrs. George
(Elizabeth) Fear, Blyth.
Funeral services took place
May 27 from the Ball Funeral
Home, Clinton with the Rev. R.
U. MacLean officiating.
Interment was in Clinton
Cemetery.
Pallbearers were Lloyd Pipe,
Lloyd Appleby, Lloyd Stewart,
Bakelaar, Donald Stevens
and Mervyn Pipe.
The action came following
complaints in the county that
American hunters are coming
into Huron County and stripping
the area of wildlife,' leaving
nothing for local hunters to
stalk.
Two other suggestions have
been made: bylaws passed at the
local level under the Municipal
Act regulating discharge of
firearms; and to have a township
declared a regulated township,
It was learned that some
townships in Huron County are
now established as regulated
townships.
There was also some
discussion about the presence of
out-of-the-county bait
companies which are emptying
the Huron County rivers and
streams of all forms of marine
life. 'It was pointed out that
while these companies are
licensed to operate, individual
property owners have the right
to forbid them access to a
stream or river on their
property.
Giry in Reed, Ashfield,
chairman of the county
development committee, told
county council that many
farmers in the county are not
concerned about hunters and
fishermen from out of the
district. He said a survey taken
recently in the county revealed
this fact.
"But the survey may not have
been taken in the right areas,"
added Reed.
"Many farmers do care,"
stated Allan Campbell,
McKillop.
