An ex- planation of the work was given by Elmer W, Q0e13e1/ Stratford, association manager. The objectives of the studies were to prepare a comprehen- sive inventory Of the physical and economic characteristics of the region which has suppor- ted and stimulated growth in the Past, and to determine how these characteristics can best be utilized to assure the most desirable development for each part of the study area. These studies are now being presented in such a form that they can be understood and used by the municipalities in the region as a basis on which to make future decisions. The stu- dies will not be completed until April 1964, but results of the first two years' work are now available. The studies have coveredpo- pulation, industrial potential, forestry and forest resources, land use, land capability clas- ses, transportation and com- munication, recreation, con- servation and tourism.

MacNaughton, mie nister of highways for Ontario who was originally scheduled to attend, was unable to be present and a message of regret was read to the meeting. that it would result in a sub- stantial overall majority for them. One person's guess as to the length of this parliament is about as good as any others. I hope for the sake of Canada that the various parties can find it possible to work better together so that this parliament is more productive than the last. The contents of the throne speech have been given full publicity so I will not comment on that. It will be interesting for the next few days to follow the throne speech Debate. Caven society to tour plants The study on Korea was taken by Mrs. Jack Pryde at the WMS meeting in Caven Presbyterian church Thursday. She told of the people, the country and the work of the chur c h in that country. Chief discussion centred on the meeting of Stratford Pres- byterial in Caven church on June 12. Plans are made to tour three local plants at the aftere noon session. President Mrs. C. J. Ers- man conducted the meeting and Mrs. Frank Whilsmith led in the devotional assisted by Mrs. Ken Brydges. Mrs. Don Grab am contributed a solo. Hostesses were Mrs. While smith, Mrs. David Millar and Mrs. L, Kirk. Consolidation of welfare ser- vices on a "broader basis," in effect a county welfare unit, is favored by provincial autho- rities. Hon. Louis P, Cecile, minis- ter of public welfare, in his speech recently on departmen- tal estimates, gave notice that "we would encourage the con- tinued development of this form of administration," "Continued" here is an allu- sion to adoption, Feb. 1 last, of the county welfare unit plan by Wentworth. Many counties, the minister states "are giving serious thought to a consolida- tion of welfare services." Huron county council had the matter before it not long ago, because of the department's evident desire to develop the plan, but took no action. This county and others would prefer to wait and see how Wentworth gets along. The provincial auth- orities report that transfer of cases from local municipalities to the county "presented no difficulties" there. In brief, counties would un- dertake administration of the General Welfare Assistance Act on behalf of the local munici- palities. A county welfare offi- cer to be appointed would take over much welfare work done by Miss M. Follick former resident Miss Mable Follick, a life- long resident of Exeter, died Tuesday evening following a heart attack suffered early that day. Miss Follick was a daughter of Enoch Follick, at one time caretaker of the Exeter public school. For many years she was employed as secretary to the late Dr. J. H. Browning. She has been living alone at her residence on Andrew street. She was a member of the Main Street United Church. Surviving are several neph- ews and nieces. Miss Lillian Baker, of Lon- don has been in charge of the funeral which will be held Fri- day at 2:30 pm from the Hop- per-Hockey funeral home con- ducted by Rev. R. S. Hiltz, in- terment in Exeter cemetery. Cars of railway revenue freight loaded on lines in Can- ada in 1962 totalled 3,541,546, an increase of 2.2 percent over 1061. Baseline By MRS. ARCHIE DEWAR (Intended for last week) Mr. Elton Baker 'took in the bus trip to Hamilton on Satur- day when the boys of Grade 12 toured the Stein() Steel plants there which covers 900 acres.

Your kindly comments on our former ef- forts have encouraged me to continue. The twenty-sixth parliament got underway as scheduled on Thursday, May 16. All nature smiled. The sky was blue, the sun bright, the air calm, and the temperature was just right. It was a perfect May day. The trees were lacy with bursting leaves, the lawns a lush green and the tulip beds superb. There could not have been a more beautiful spring setting for the opening of a new Canadian Par- liament. The Canadian Guards and the RCMP, both with red tunics, made a beautiful picture against the spring green. The guards not only wear red tunics but large black bearskin caps. Add to this the fact that the Mounties have got rid of the old skinny nags they have ridden in recent years and have acquired some first class, jet black, well fed, horse flesh, and you will under- stand how the coloring this year was improved. The precision of the march- ing, the ceremony and the band music was right up to its usual high standard. How those boys can march and swing their arms How that band can play[ MINORITY PLIGHT Well, in spite of our hopes that it might be otherwise, par- liament is back on the job with a minority government, How long it will last is anybody's guess. There are rumors that seve- ral Social Creditors are going to support the government party and so prevent the defeat of the government and stall off another election. Even if this happened it might not delay another elec- tion for long because the Libe- rals would probably welcome another contest in the hope township and town officials. Children's Aid work would not be involved, though it was ori- ginally proposed by the depart- ment that it be within the con- solidation. Clerk-treasurer J.G. Berry pointed out that there is con- siderable variation among the local municipalities in admini- stration of welfare, according to local officials' appraisal of particular cases, Probably in a consolidation such as the department proposes there would be a scale laid down, which on the whole would likely be higher than followed in some of the townships and towns. In any ease, there would be a county welfare officer's sal- ary, probably additional cleri- cal help, and certainly much more travel than under local administration. The proposal is not likely to come up at next session of Huron council, Mr. Berry said. Along with other councils, Hu- ron would like first to examine the results of Wentworth's ex- periment. Hon. Mr. Cecile is of the opinion that county councils "are ideally suited to the ad- ministration of material aid and services to residents, in place of the small local muni- cipalities." "There is a growing feel- ing," he said in the legisla- ture, "that a county adminis- tration is best able to provide the personnel on a lull-time basis, and this to assure more uniform services. In addition, the county is in a better posi- tion to provide the necessary funds. It has become evident that a broader administration base is more effective in ser- ving cases rapidly, with proper considerations to the needs and the steps that may be takeri, where possible, toward re-es- tablishing persons into gainful employment or to a self-sup- porting status. "The strength of county coun- cils lies in the elected mem- bers, who are representative of all the local municipalities within the county. Certainly the services of prevention and re- habilitation can be greatly ad- vanced if the county, as a unit, undertakes administration of the General Welfare Aesis- tance Act on behalf of its local municipalities." This act contains a provision, in Section 5(3), that any local municipality with a population of more than 5,000, according to its last revised assessment roll, may by agreement with the county and with approval of the minister, appoint a Munici- pal welfare administration to administer independent of the county. In Goderich, welfare admin- istration is carried on by the clerk.
