Hunter Just because we're developed, it doesn't mean we don't have ,to consider develop- ment, Rev, Clifford Britton, forth—Noted Sea- many f actors were pressing into rural areas and pointed out people did not know exactly where they were going. We have to think of the changing image — what It is changing from and changing to. Miles — What are some of the pressures. Rev. Britton -- Urban sprawl, vertical integration, more cen- traltzed governments (case of school boards disappearing). Webb — Looking at things on a broader base, we're over governed. We're no longer self- contained units. Tebbutt — They told us at the assessors' meeting there was no longer such a thing as a rural area. Hunter — We should call it community development. Aiken — We're not hungry enough to take steps to bring in industry.

Mrs. govenlOck —Our great- eSt resources are our boys and girls. After noting the expense 14 educating them, she said in- dustry had to, be brought in to keep the young people in the county and P1SQ to relieve the tax burden on farmers. Webb —Noted the ARDA act was unique in that the people could decide what they wanted themselves. He added that peo- ple were not concerned unless things affected them directly, and said they had to be edu- cated to the fact that most things do directly affect them, Farmers don't think tourism helps them, he stated, but it does, because it brings money into the local economy. He urged that besides list- ing the things to be found in the county, the committee should also list the things the county does not have. Aiken —Agreed that town- ships must plan so all persons within the township would bene- fit. He also noted most town- ships were no longer just rural in nature, citing cases where industries and commerci al firms were now settling in them. Miles — How do we get people involved? What are our needs? at the meeting: Miles We can't worry about the bigness of the job. Some pro., ,jects take time, but we can't wait, We have to get started on our thinking before things jump on top of us. Hunter matter what we do or what great plaits We MOP, wtthout the support of the people all our plans And money are useless. We must educate the people to the need of rural de- velepment. There is yast change taking place in coin, menities some to the good — but the community is lostng its iniPortance for people. The world is coming closer together by modern methods of trans- portation and world affairs mean more to some people than their communities. The township councils have a great job to do in planning the development of their townships. Alexander The speakers impressed me with the large scope involved with rural de- velopment. He added there was nothing more important for an agricultural county than its soil and crops. Proctor — We must consider projects that will benefit all people. Tebbutt — All conservation is done for human beings, whether it be for soils, forests, fishing, etc. He said it would be up to the people to demand projects they want, as they are paying for it. Miles—Questioned if the people should demand what pro- Extols quality of singing --notes quantity change Dr. Roy Fenwick, retired mu- sic director for Ontario, came out of retirement on Friday to adjudicate the fifth annual Blan- shard Music Festival held in Kirkton United Church. A capacity audience was on hand and all events were well contested, giving Dr. Fenwick a tough assignment in most instances to pick winners. He spoke of the improved singing in the rural schools in the past 20 years and said this was due to the work of the music supervisors and the pub- lic school teachers. Noting the large list of en- tries, he pointed out adjudicat- ing was no longer a one-man job for a one-day festival. He said either authorities will have to extend the festivals to more than one day or have simul- taneous competitions going on in more than one place for a one-day show. As usual, Dr. Fenwick not only judged the winners in the event, but gave some helpful YOUR PONTIAC-BUICK-ACADIAN- VAUXHALL DEALER INVITES YOU TO HIS Huron.

At the Thursday meeting, Don Middleton and Ray Her got t, fieldrrien for the OFA, outlined the setup of ARDA and the rural development aspect of it. Middleton pointed out that every organization within the county should be involved in the project and a self survey should be conducted to define the he,- man, physical and natural re- sources which are to be found in the county. After this has beep done it will be possible to determine what projects should be under- taken to benefit the most people. Hergott reported there were 250 people involved in such a project in another county, stat- ing all organizations within the county should be involved. After the two men outlined the organizational steps, a panel discussion was set up with Doug Miles, agricultural representa- tive, as chairman. Members included: Norm Alexander, Londesboro, second vice-president of the Crop and Soil Improvement Association; Glenn Webb, reeve of Stephen and a representative of County council; Harry Tebbutt, clerk of Hullett and a representative on the Maitland River Conserva- tion Authority; Stewart Proctor, Morris reeve and chairman of the county agriculture commit- tee; Elmer Hunter, second vice- president of the HFA; Mrs. T.

He told the children that he enjoyed the singing so well he hated to pick out winners, as they should all be winners. Gerald Paul, who acted as chairman, was also paid a tri- bute by Dr. Fenwick.
