BY KEITH HOULETON
A brief palling for com-
prehensive land-Use planning
on a province-wide basis and
compensation for farmers affec-
ted was presented to local
Members of Parliament when
they met for their annual
meeting with Huron county
farm organizations Saturday in
in Clinton,
The dinner and conference,
sponsored by the Huron
Federation of Agriculture,
brought together represen-
tatives of various commodity
groups to meet Robert
McKinley, M.P., Murray
Gaunt, M,P,P. for Huron-
Bruce and Jack Riddell, M,P.P,
for Huron,
The brief, presented by Doug
Fortune, second vice-president
of the Federation of
Agriculture said 43 acres of
good farm land is being lost
every hour to urban develop-
ment. Between 1961 and 1966
the rate had been only three
acres per hour.
But while something must be
done to stop this trend, the
brief said something must also
be done to help the farmer in
areas of high growth who has
been forced to pay high taxes
for years because of the poten-
tial worth of his property for
development. If the farmer can
not count on receiving a high
price for his land when he sells
it he should have some kind of
compensation for the taxes, the
brief said.
"British Columbia has
already promised this compen-
sation and land use planning
will not get the full support of
Ontario farmers without it,"
the brief said.
Mr. Gaunt said the govern-
ment has taken the first step in
its speech from the throne,
promising land-use controls to
Police
report
Clinton police bad, an active mr 1,71 e,' . weekend,' as , ,sever41 Mor e
Liquor Control Act charges
were laid as area youths con-
tinue to use their cars as por-
table bars.
Police also investigated
several accidents during the
past week. In one, a car driven
by Ronald Maines of Goderich
was in collision with a car
driven by John Moore of RR 4,
Goderich. Charges are pending.
On March 28, a truck driven
by Cale Doucette of Clinton
was in collision with a car
driven Thomas O'Connell of
Clinton. About $1,500 worth
damage was done.
About $50 worth of pastry
was stolen .but of the truck
of Alan Hutchings of Clinton
on Sunday and the pop
machine at Randy Glew's
Sunoco was forced open Satur-
day night and a small quanity
of money stolen,
protect farmland. He agreed
that the second step should
now be taken to protect far,
niers. lie urged farm
organizations such as the
Federation to really start
pushing for compensation and
said it would become a really
big issue in the years to come,
"There has got to be some
form of compensation," he
said, , "Otherwise the farmer
will be sacrificed on the altar of
land-use planning."
Mr. McKinley noted , that
planning people aren't very
popular these days, but too of-
ten they are right, He said it is
easy to talk about planning but
hard to implement it because if
elected people do it, they won't
be elected very long.
Don Pullen, Agricultural
Representative for Huron from
the Ministry of Agriculture and
Food noted that after the
recent land-use conference held
in Clinton it appeared the
people of Huron were "tuned
in" on land,use planning.
The brief also called for
utility corridors,
"We all recognize,- it said,
"the need for more services as
our population continues to
'rise, These services must be
placed in well-planned,
multiple-use corridors to con-
sume as little prime farmland
as possible."
A government-appointed
board to investigate all odour
and pollution complaints in-
volving farms was also recom-
mended. Another request was
for government action to force
recycling urban garbage rather
than using land-fill sites in
rural areas. "Urban people
must assume the cost of
disposing of the garbage they
create, rather than defiling and
polluting farm land with it"
the brief said.
Complaints about a long
form used by Ontario Hydro at
Public meetings called, to
discuss the future sites of power
corridors were also laid before
the members. Mr. Fortune told
of lengthy forms which people
were given only 12.15 minutes
to fill in. The answers, he said,
reflected more emotion than
reason on the part of those an-
swering the questionnaire.
The problem of declining
membership was dealt with
when Faye Ribey of RIM,
Goderich , president of the
Huron County Junior Farmers
presented a brief, She stated
that though membership this
year was about even with last
year in Huron it was nearly a
third lower than in 1971. She
said there are now only two
clubs in Huron where once
there had been five.
She cited lack of interest of
young people in returning to
the farm as a major reason for
the decline. Higher salaries
and shorter work weeks were
too inviting to most people to
be bothered staying on the
farm, she said. Although mem-
bership is down in Huron, it is
up in. Ontario with over '7,000
members, The increase is par-
tly due to growing interest in
Northern Ontario and in
several urban clubs.
Mr. Pullen noted that junior
farmers make so many oppor-
tunities available to the mem-
bers that it is a shame more
people don't join,
organization is Washington
D.C. and Osceola, Iowa and
spreads over Canada, Puerto
Rico and parts of Europe.
Mrs. Greenshields will be
speaking Friday April 6 in the
Clinton Town Hall at 8 p.m.
Admission charges will be
WrlitW and 75 cents
for children to cover costs of
renting the hall. One of the
subjects to be discussed is
E.S.P.
"Out of the next 12 drivers
you encounter, chances are that
one will not have a driver's
licence." The Ontario Safety
League quotes this from a U.S.
insurance magazine. It adds:
"There are about 120 million
drivers in the U.S. and about
10 million of them are driving
without having qualified for a
licence, or after having had
their licence suspended or
revoked.
"Our need is for stricter laws.
It is for more effective im-
plementation of the laws we
now have. The driver's licence
remains ou r most neglected
safety device."
Middleton
Even the most wintry
moribund can no longer ignore
signs of Spring, In the mood of
the season, a number of volun-
teers from the St, James Mid-
dleton congregation descended
on the church basement last
Tuesday and had a painting
"bee".
As usual, the Rector, the
Rev. George Youmatoff was
there to lend a helping hand.
The A.C.W. of St. James will
meet Thursday evening April
12, at 8 p.m. at the home of
Mrs. Jack Cale for the
Thankoffering meeting.

Federation wants better planning
In these days of rush, strife
and lack of understanding,
more people are hunting for a
way to a more creative and
fulfilling life.
Mrs. Elsie Greenshields of
St. Catharines believes she has
found what most people are
seeking it h theInnerfV,Peac'e.:10
Movement.
"The name in itself has
nothing to do with the peace
movement against war. It is a
self-development program to
make people develop leadership
in their lives," she says. It is a
series of lectures presented to
describe man's relationship to
science, religion and society
and how to develop a balance
within this framework.
"The program started over
seven years ago, is non-profit
and not affiliated with any
church or religion," Mrs.
Greenshields points out. "The
principal goal of the Inner
Peace Movement, is to assist
people in becoming masters of
their own situations and better
leaders by learning to under-
stand themselves and their
goals."
