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- four zones, one in each coun- These county boards will have executive of 12, six who must elected representatives of the to ty. an be people and six who must be con­ nected with Chamber of Com­ merce oi* other trade improve­ ment groups. 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 be fully represented in the de­ velopment program.

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.

Iritated over rumours he had withdrawn from the race, Reeve McKenzie emphasized this week he was definitely a candidate.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