Mr, Lange said he feels the
province's move to regional
governments started when
municipalities with 250
population had a complete
council. Warden Roy Robinson,
reeve of Elm Township, said
his township has about 3,500
people, and there is lots of work
for each of the council members,
"The message is clearly in the
wind, Within the next 18 months
I urge you to get all the ideas
together of proposed
reorganization of your area and
present them to "trie minister.
Make your presentation as
convincing as possible," Mr,
Horton said,
Council approved a motion of
Reeve Walter Gerth that the

officials and prepare such a

Perth County councillors were
warned again last week to get
busy and make preparations for
regional government in the area.
Professor John Horton,
planning department, University
of Waterloo, repeated a warning
he handed council May 23, but
had proof with him this time
that regional government isn't
too far away for Perth.
"The province is stepping in
and taking complete
responsibility for reorganizing
local government. They (the
province) have decided that it is
all taking place to slowly," he
told Perth's council.
He constantly referred to a
speech delivered by W. Darcy
McKeough, treasurer of Ontario,
at the founding convention of
the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario in
Ottawa in June, The speech
covered three main areas: 1.
local government reform
(regional government); 2.
regional development planning;
3. fiscal reform,
By 1975, he said, the province
intends to have proposals ready
for the areas not already under
a regional government scheme,
He said 1974 was set for the
fiscal reforms Mr. McKeough
talked about.
Asked about the fiscal
reforms by Deputy Reeve
Willard Soeder of Mitchell, Mr.
Horton said he couldn't
speculate on what the minister
had in mind.
Mr. McKeough's speech
defined the reasons for wanting
regional government. There are
some 900 municipal
governments in Ontario now,
and it is expected this number
will be cut in half with regional
government.
"If over 900 municipalities
believe they have the right to
exploit their physical resources
to minimize tax burdens, the
rational use of our resources
will be lost," Mr. McKeough's
speech said. "The province, by
its regional planning policy, is
attempting to guide a very
careful use of the province's
resources, namely its land, its
water and its air, in the best
interests of all of our people."
Under regional government
the province intends to
eliminate most of the special
purpose bodies and agencies
now in operation, Mr. Horton
eaid. All the responsibilities will
be with the elected people, not
appointed committees and
boards, he said.
Mr. Horton said he personally
feels the province is moving too
fast. He referred to the problems
faced in the Niagara region
where rural and urban have
taken opposing sides, and a lot
of time is needed to work out
those problems,
A study is scheduled for
Brant County, Mr. Horton said,
and Perth should pay close
attention to what happens there
because Brant has a city about
the same size as Perth has —
Stratford.
"You can't evade regional
government. Like it or not, it is
coming...unless the province
makes a complete about face,"
he said.
Major changes are coming in
the regional planning plans for
the province. Now there are 10
regional development areas in
Ontario, Perth is part of the
Mid-western Development
Council, This number will be
reduced to five by Jan. 1, 1973.
Mr. Horton said. He acts as a
consultant with Mid-western
Development Council.
Perth will be a part of the
planning region for Southern
and Western Ontario, Mr.
McKeough's speech suggests.
Mr. Horton urged Perth to
prepare its strongest possible
presentation for the province to
convince Mr. McKeough that
Perth is able to survive as it is
today,
"Make the most effective use
of your MPP. Make the most
effective use of the Midwestern
Development Council," he said,
"We're here today to wave a
red flag before you. It is just a
warning that regional
government and regional
development planning are
coming," Mr. Horton said. With
him were Walter Cowing,
manager of the MDC, and John
Stephen, a member of the board
of directors of the council from
St. Marys.
Reeve Ellard Lange of South
Easthope Township, and
chairman of the county's area
planning and development
committee, asked if Perth got
together with Stratford and St.
Marys if that would make a
large enough area to be
considered a region, or would it
have to take in parts of other
counties.
Mr. Cowing said the province
:sn't prepared to say what size
an area should be or what its
poPolation should be. The
province wants to be convinced
Marys should become an upper-
tier government unto
themselves; 2, flow should the
upper-tier representation be
derived; assessment or
population; 3. What is an
adequate population for a
viable, local-tier government; 4.
What service should be left to
the lower tier, and what services
should be expected from the
upper tier; 5, What
Wednesday, August 2, the
Huron County Medical
Secretaries met in London, at
the OHIP headquarters, on
Queen Street. They were
welcomed by Mr, McKenzie and
Mr. McLennan.
Twelve members attended
from Seaforth, Clinton, and
Goderich and were taken on a
tour of the different
departments at OHIP. They
traced the route,
They were taken to an office,
where the cards are date
stamped, and then divided in
the two sections consisting of the
"Pay Physicians" and "Pay
Direct." Then they go to the
Control Unit, where the cards
are stockpiled as they are
received until the tenth of the
following month, after which
they are sent to Toronto for
payment. All cards are filed by
the last two digits of the
Doctor's number. Then they go'
to the Microfilm department,
where cards are all microfilmed
and assigned in to Key Tape.
The Key Tape room is where
they are all recorded and fed
into the computer. This is also
where if any error is found; they
are rejected. If it is at all
possible to correct the error at
municipalities, if any, would you
Prefer to, amalgamate with?
Replies are to be back by
Sept, 8 and council hopes to
start work on its presentation
during the September session.
Mr. McKeough said, "As the
provineial government makes
decisions in this difficult and
complex field of public policy,
local views must be available to
us."
that time, it is done, and if not
they are returned to the various
offices, for correction. Each
day's Key Taping is sent to
Toronto that night by Courier.
Forty-six girls work in this
room.
After the grand tour, they
were taken down to the canteen
and treated to coffee during a
question and answer period.
Later on they ate supper at
The Garage in London. Just
prior to the meeting they
discovered that the president,
Mrs, Donna Fisher had received
the visa for her husband and
family to go to Tucson, Arizona.
As they will be leaving in just a
few days, they took the
opportunity to present her with
a remembrance from them, Mrs.
Elaine Ayres, who will be taking
Donna's place at the Goderich
Medical Centre, made the
presentation.
The July meeting consisted of
a pot luck supper, held in
Bayfield, at which 14 of the
members attended. Two girls
from Kincardine were visiting.
They were so impressed with
group activities that they are
planning on opening a group of
their own in the near future.
