(Huron 'County industrial Pro
motion Board, said Wednesday
might ho believed municipalities
In the county would give full sup
port to the new regional devel
opment program being organized
by the Ontario Department of
Planning and Development.
Mr. Jermyn’-e statement follow
ed a banquet in Clinton where
officials of all municipalities in
the county learned how the new
scheme will work. Four counties,
Huron Perth .Wellington and
■Waterloo, plan to form a region
al organization which will em
ploy a full-time industrial pro
moter to persuade manufacturers
(to locate in the area.
Many Speak In Favour
Many of the officials, both
from towns and township’s spoke
in favor of the scheme after they
received an explanation of its or
ganization and operation from
R. B. Potts, consultant of the
Trade and Industry Branch of the
Ontario Department of Planning
and Development.
The town of Exeter has led
the way toward Huron partici
pation by being the "first to ap
prove its contribution toward the
plan, At Monday’s meeting, coun
cil authorized payment of $170
for the town’s share.
Costs to all urban municipali
ties in the four-county region is
six cents per capita. Townships
are not asked to contribute but
county councils will be approach-
ed for $500 each as their share
in the budget.
■Objective of the regional plan
is to raise $14,000 from the mun
icipalities which will be matched by a similar grant from the prov
ince.
The region will be divided in-

Each county unit will have a
chairman and vice-chairman el
ected by the executive who will
be representatives on the Region
al Board of Directors. One other
member is elected to the board,
giving each county three votes.
Each municipality participat
ing in the scheme receives a vote
in its operation, regardless of
the size of its contribution. For
example, the city of .Stratford
will have one vote, the same as
Exeter or Hensall.
Mr. Rotts in outlining the pro
gram indicated most municipali
ties in , the other counties have
agreed to contribute towards the
scheme. In fact, close to $10,-
000 of the $14,000 has already
been approved tentatively by oth
er councils.
Huron officials, led by Mr,
Jermyn and Tom Pryde, district
MLA, urged municipal representatives to sell the plan to their
councils so that the county would

will be a test case for similar
farm marketing laws in other
provinces.
The eight-question Dominion
reference about the Ontario Farm
Products Marketing Act, first
enacted in 1950- and amended
.four times since then, was made
to speed up procedures necessary
in determining the act’s constitu
tional validity.
The main question asks the
court to say whether the Ontario
Farm Products Marketing Board
can legally authorize a market
ing agency to carry out opera
tions, involving the sale of a
regulated product, by pooling
sales, expenses and proceeds.
The second question deals with
the validity of a provision for
the establishment of a marketing
scheme. The third question Is on
the validity of another regula
tion for the licensing of the On
tario hog producers’ co-operative.

Iritated over rumours he had
withdrawn from the race, Reeve
McKenzie emphasized this week
he was definitely a candidate.

mittee for the past two
he has been electioneering
members of the council.
Other candidates are
Fischer of Turnberry;
Beuerman, McKillop; Orval Tay
lor, East Wawanosh; and Clif
ford Rowland, of Grey.
This year’s election is in mark
ed contrast to last year’s when
Hay Reeve Earl Campbell went
in by acclamation.
No one is expected to win on
the first ballot since the victor
must emerge with a majority
over all. In view of this,, many
candidates are seeking the sec
ond ballot from supporters of
those who are eliminated early
in the balloting.
