Under the changes, Deputy- :Reeve Fisher became reeve; Councillor Claude Farrow be- came Deputyreeve, and Bill Musser, who retired from coun- cil at the end of 1961, returned to fill the vacant seat, Fisher and Farrow assumed their new positions at county council during its inaugural ses- sion Tuesday, The reorganization required three resignations, one election and four appointments during an• unannounced council session Thursday afternoon, following the funeral service for Reeve McKenzie. The surprise election devel- wed when both Councillors Ralph Bailey and. Farrow stood for the deputy-reeve's chair after Fisher had resigned, Far- row won the election by one vote, ironically cast by a coun- cillor who had tried to second Bailey's nomination for the pest, Fight for position Although the press was not present at the meeting, this is apparently what happened: After Deputy-Reeve Fisher resigned and was appointed reeve, both Bailey and Farrow indicated they would stand. for deputy-reeve. Clerk C. V. Pick- ard suggested they flip a coin for the office but this was not acceptable. Bailey and. Farrow both re- signed as councillors and left the chambers, Councillor Jo- seph Wooden and Reeve Fisher nominated Farrow; Council- lors Ross Taylor and Fred.

E. 111, Biggs told the Ontario Fruit and vegetable Growers Association that 'market de- velopment' in its broadest terms should be embraced by commodity groups, and, with the assistance of the depart- ment of agriculture and its newly-formed market develop. ments branch, could achieve greater market stability and an increasing share of markets for Ontario products. Urgent consideration While decision for such action would have to rest with the producer, Mr, Biggs suggested that such trends as a cost- squeeze by major retailers and chains, vertical integration, and keen competition from imports, forced urgent consideration of courageous steps in market development. The speaker debited market development as the many fac- tors "which will increase the consumption and use of Ontario farm products," and while it included advertising and promo- tioe, was not be thought of exclusively as being these ac- tivities. He said the best example of such a commodity program was the "splendid work of the Ontario Tender Fruit Institute . possibly an example which could be followed by other comModities". Development branch The markets development branch under G. F, Perkin and Ted Merritt, stood ready to as- sist such programs, he said, Me.

The board plans to interview provincial officers to discuss final details of the zoning plan on which work has been pro- gressing for the past year. The board hopes to make recommendations to council be- fore spring, Although most of the com- munity can be, zoned without difficulty, several sections pre- sent a problem in regard to designation, It was agreed that, if no immediate solution could be found to these few sections, the board would consider the recommendation of partial, zon- ing for the remainder of the community to require conform- ity in land use, The demand for zoning has increased in the past few months following severel contra- versiee over establishment of non-conforming buildings in certain -areas. The board also head a 10- year fore -east, prepared by Sec- retaryJoseeh Wooden, which estimated the town's popula- tion should reach 4,000 by 1970: It is for this growth Which the board must plan in its estab- DIMISMONSE.100.0M Itteaarea .aeanieVIAMelefiNeeiVA ner county in the field of civic honesty," lfe,osed if the acceptance of support (as a bribe) WAS, M different in a moral sense to accepting money for favors.

Chairman Snider pointed out he had suggested the idea, oot- ing there was considerable dif- ficulty in helping the students choose careers because of the limited time and teaching help in the 'vocational department. Principal Sturgis questioned the hoard as to whether they would prefer to have one "career night", when. several speakers would be brought to the school, or whether they would prefer to have a speaker in once a week. He said lie favored the lat- ter, because it would give the students more opportunity to hear the facts about agreater number of career fields.

The board agreed to take the action after being told once again by Principal H. L. Stur- gis that an additional three rooms would be required at SHDHS for next September if the Clinton school will not be ready, The composite school advis- ory board has been told by the architects, Page and Steele, Toronto, that the school will not be ready for opening for next year's term. Doubts school ready "I don't think there will be a school", Garnet Hicks, the local board's representative on the composite group said. "I believe in calling a spade a spade," he stated in outlining his views on the holdup. He pointed out that be thought the government had started the project too quickly and, they didn't have any courses ready, nor did they have enough help in Toronto to approve plans that were com- ing in from several centres building the new vocational structures. He further stated that there was a shortage of teachers to instruct at the schools when thy do open. Mr, Hicks also pointed out that the three mem- bers on the composite board from Clinton were not pressing for the new school, because they are not crowded at the present and do not have to con- sider additional rooms if the new building is not completed.

"I have, been pushing for this school," he told the board, "but it is be- coming very discouraging".

Discuss methods The members also discussed methods to alleviate the over- crowding that will be incurred at SHDHS if the Clinton school is not ready for September. Principal H, L. Sturgis sug- gested three more rooms could be made available by altering the library into a classroom and by doing away with the kitchen and cafeteria. He pointed out it. may also be necessary to change the cur- riculum and agriculture may even have to be dropped for one year as a "crash program" to give more room for science, which is already overcrowded. II could mean loss free choice for students in some options. however, he noted that taping would still have to be given to students in grade nine who would be considering go- ing to Clinton the following year. Rent P5 room Other suggestions that were presented included renting a room for the special C0111111C17C- at Exeter's public school or even taking the commercial Class to Goderieh. Laird Mickic suggested that some students could bo .taken to Clinton and integrated with students there, if that school has extra space available.
