(Pork Institute photo) Goderich Township seeks to control trailer camps The municipality of the Township of Goderich is en- deavouring to control trailers within its boundaries, but Clerk Robin Thompson fears the in- tent of the two bylaws passed on the first day of October this year, though clear to council, may be misunderstood by some township residents. According to Thompson, trailer parks are springing up all over the township. He said permits have been issued for seven to date, most of them catering to the tourist trade. Rumor is that some trailer park owners are preparing to protest the bylaws, but no for- mal presentation has been made to council to date. "We expect controversy," said Thompson in a telephone interview this week. The two bylaws - No. 11 which is a bylaw to license trailers except trailers located in a trailer camp, and for prohibiting such trailers being located in the municipality ex- cept in a trailer camp without a license therefore; and No. 12 which is a bylaw to license, regulate and govern trailer camps located in the municipality; are distinctively different. Bylaw 11 provides for a mon- thly license fee of $8 for any trailer located in the township for a period exceeding 30 days and not situated in a trailer camp, Bylaw 12 is much more detailed and concerns itself en- tirely with the provisions of the trailer camp itself. This document calls for trailer lots of a minimum of 1,000 square feet with a width of at least 25 feet and a clearance of at least 15 feet bet- ween trailers; driveways of not less than 20 feet in width which have unobstructed access to a public street or highway; water for drinking and domestic pur- poses supplied to meet the requirements and obtained from faucets only; an adequate supply of hot water at all times in the service building for bathing, washing and laundry facilities; toilet and shower facilities for men and women either in separate buildings at least 20 feet apart or, if in the same building, separated by a soundproof wall; adequate safety fire exits etc. The bylaw also requires trailer park owners to pay a license fee of five dollars per year for each lot available for occupancy of a trailer. Provision has been made in the bylaw to hold the minimum size of a licensed trailer park to 50 units and the maximum size to 400 units. Thompson said the decision for a minimum of 50 lots in a trailer park seemed to ensure - that a reasonable effort would be put forth by the owner to establish a satisfactory location, and the regulations for a maximum growth were imposed for many reasons in- cluding the availability of fire protection, road maintenance and other township services. SMILE Junior reluctantly shuffled out of the house on his first business venture: selling magazines subscriptions. Within 15 minutes he dashed back through the front door, shouting that he'd sold $30 worth of subscriptions. "Wonderful!" exclaimed his mother, "But how did you sell so many so quickly?" "I sold them all to one family," he replied. "Their dog bit me." orn crop one of best ever Separate board to look at ways of saving energy The second largest commer- al corn crop on record is the aim made for the 1973 On- rio corn crop now almost mpletely harvested. An official of the Ontario rain Corn Council, in making e statement, added that the Ids are not only better than .petted but moisture levels at rvest were among the lowest corded and the quality about e highest. Despite the prices offered, at at is considered some of the ghest levels in history, far- rs are holding corn either expectation of higher prices for tax reasons, the okesman said. "Ontario prices eased down- -" in erratic manner during the last half of October but have more than regained any losses during the first part of November," he said. "Western feed grains, on a nutritive basis, are priced well above corn. Significant bookings of U.S. corn into eastern Canada have been reported primarily due to cost but also to the absence of ad- vance pricing on western grain." "Those holding for tax reasons might want to review the automatic tax averaging provision in the Income Tax Act." He said many buyers in Eastern Canada have been unable to find the quantities of Ontario corn they desire to pur- chase, According to the spokesman, border point elevators in Michigan have been offering farmers 30 cents under the December Chicago option, thereby making it profitable for U.S. producers to pay duty and transportation and sell corn at Ontario border point elevators where the price is 15 cents un- der the December option, He said U.S. prices dropped during October mainly due to a larger than expected U.S.S.R. grain crop, favorable har- vesting conditions, a U.S.D.A. report suggesting world grain prospects in major producing countries had improved and continuing transportation problems.
