BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
A summary of the controver.
sial Mustard Report was
prepared by Dr. Frank Mills,
Huron County Medical Officer
of Health, and presented to
each member of county council
at the regular monthly meeting
Friday, October 25 in Goderich.
' "I think it is on excellent
summary of the report and I
urge each member of council to
read it carefully so you will be
fully aware of the possible im-
plications involved if this
report should ever be adopted
by the provincial government,"
Clerk-treasurer John Berry
told council,
He also predicted it will be
"difficult to get financing for
capital expenditures" at ' the
five county hospitals from now
on. Mr. Be
ry gave as an example the
"long and tedious" effort by
the board at Alexandra Marine
and General Hospital in
Goderich to obtain permission
to 'build additional emergency
facilities there.
' "If the report is implemen-
ted," warned Mr. Berry, "we
swill be looking to larger
hospitals."
Sympathy of the community
is extended to Mrs. Jack Medd
and family on their recent sad
bereavement.

He asked county councillors
to "stand up for Huron County
and its hospitals".
Ed Oddleifson, reeve of
Bayfield, also voiced concern
that if the criteria set out in the
Mustard Report was adopted,
there could be a "reduction of
supported medical centres from
five to three",
"If there is any reduction in
grants to any particular
hospital, we should object very
strenuously," said Mr. Oddleif-
son. "We should be very, very
militant about it,"
He said in his opinion, Huron
had an excellent medical setup
for a rural county and noted
the five hoSpitals were
adequate and serving a need
here.
The planning board was
given permission to engage

council that the further the
county goes with planning, the
greater the need for secondary
plans and zoning bylaws.

handled easier if we'd had
more zoning bylaws in the
county," said Mr, Mair.
He termed it "regrettable"
that the planning budget would
have to be considerably in-
creased to meet the salary of an
additional staffer. It was
estimated that an additional
$18,000 would have to go into
the budget to finance the extra
expense,
Stan Profit, deputy-reeve of
Goderich, asked „why
municipalities don't hire their
own planning consultants if the
need for secondary plans is so
great.
He was told it was costlier
for a municipality to engage
their own planning staff. It was
also pointed out that it had
been agreed that the county
would provide the planning
staff to assist the municipalities
to ensure a total planning con-
cept for Huron.
"Possibly we need a little
more overall planning," said
Mr. Mair.
It was noted that some of the
greatest planning problems
arise "where town and town-
ship meet".

its facilities over to-:the public
to produce local television
shows,
A public meeting will. be held.
at the .Holmesville studio Thur,
sdoy, November 7, the purpose
of which is to determine the
number of people interested in
the ymtore and to organize
committee to coordinate the
programming.
Up to this time very few local
prograrris have been aired on
the cable station. The Lions
club conducts its weekly bingo
sessions from the studio and
small number of church group.e
have done shows on such
topical issues as abortion.
Bruce Davey of the
Bluewater Cable TV company
lauds the merits of local
productions and is anxious to
see the • public take advantage
of the opportunity to get
programs on the air that they
%tvearenstt.to see and are of local in-
s. "Local programming has
always been a part of the initial
plan of the -company," Mr.
Davey said. "We want to get
the people out here, show them
what there is, show them the
potential and- the rewards of
local programming and select a
committee to coordinate and be
responsible for the program-
ming."
Naturally the turnout at the
meeting next week will dictate
the size of the committee and
the type of projects that they
will he able to undertake. The
facilities have been bought and
will now he turned over to the
citizens. The only foreseeable
obstacle is gettting the interest
aroused and the program off
the ground.
The Bluewater Company has
'spent close to $15,000 to equip
the studio for use in the hope
that local residents Would
recognize the need for and
realize the benefits of a com-
munity television effort.
The studio is now equipped
with two cameras with zoom
lenses, proper lighting for
production, a video tape
Machine which will afford the
convenience of production at
any hour and a console-. The
console is able to monitor three
cameras and features a swit-
cher-fader . which. enables the
operator to switch to another
camera shot or fade ..into.
'another angle and such special
effects as a split screen and cor.
ner insertions,
Unfortunately programming
will be confined to the studio
area hut there will be no
restrictions or censorship
placed op the type of programs
aired, The public will simply be
free to program its own ideas,
"We don't want the people tp
be perfect or attempt to com-
pete with the CEO," Mr. Davey
said. "People ruin programs
when they try for perfection.
These will be amateur produc-
tions and people will have to
learn to be themselves."
Mr, Davey has long been in-
volved with the productions of
local programs with the cable
company in Strathroy and Kin-
cardine and is willing to assist
the committee with any help its
members may need. He has en-
joyed being involved with the
cable productions and intends
to do some programming with
the committee, He also stressed
the fact that operation of the
equipment is extremely simple
and will not be a drawback in
the production process,
Mr. Davey cited the up-
coming municipal election as a
major reason for support of,a
local public station, Such
productions as a candidate's
forum have proved to he suc-
cessful in other areas and serve
as a valuable service to the
community.
"We hope to ' have the
program operative by election
time so that the elections could
be covered," he said. "This
type of topical show is very suc-
cessful in small towns."
The Bluewater Cable TV
company will report
periodically to the Canadian
Radio and Television Com-
mission (CRTC) on the
progress of local programming
so the commission can en-
courage and draw up guidelines
for other cable companies.
But the success of the ven-
ture depends upon the input of
the community. The program-
ming will reflect the flavor of
the community and give people
the opportunity to voice their
opinions and provide some
wholesome entertainment. Who
knows? There just may be a few
budding television stars who
have been waiting for a break
like this!
Councillors warned of report
