THIRTEENTH SUNDAY
AFTER TRINITY
8.00 a.m.—Holy Communion

For all Intents and purposeS,
CFB Centralia PeaSe$ to exist
this weekend, and the only per-
Sonnel remaining active at the
base will be members of the
rear party under S/L Jack Ma-
lone.
In a brief ceremony on Tees-
day, Q/C G. F. Ockenden, base
commander, turned the opera-
tion of the base over to S/1.,
Malone.
People were reported to be
leaving C entralia 'left and right"
during the past week and civilian
jobs terminate at the base this
weekend as well.
The Civilian Personnel Office
reported that 10 or 12 positions
had become vacant at CFB Clin-
ton in the past week and would be
filled by workers presently at
C entralia.
However, these were the only
placements made during the week
described by one person as
"looking pretty Jleic right now".
Most of the messes are now
closed with farewell parties hay-
ing been held last week.
The final Party at the officers'
mess took the form of an Irish
wake and one participant report-
ed it was "quite moving".
G/C Ockenden was presented
with a portable tape-recorder
on which the section heads had
pre-recorded a farewell to him.
Mrs. Ockenden also received
a parting gift presented by mess
president, Lieutenant Command-
er Bruyere, F/L R. T, Perry
was emcee for the event which
attracted several guests from
Exeter.
For almost 25 years, area residents have had the military for
neighbours, but conversely during that time, and for varying periods
of time, the Air Force personnel have had the area residents as
neighbours. Speaking as a member of the Air Force and on behalf of
my comrades, I can safely say that the friendship we have enjoyed,
and the acquaintances we have made have been second to none.
It is with mixed emotions that I find myself in the position
of writing this farewell letter. On one hand we are saddened by the
fact that we must leave an area that has been so hospitable, an area
that has the relaxation of rural living but the accessability to urban
activities, and the climate commensurate with the recreational fa-
cilities of Lake Huron.

On the other hand, we are gladdened by the fact that we have had
the opportunity of living in this area, of enjoying the relaxation, the
activities and making friends and acquaintances of the area residents.
We have tried to blend our way of life with your way of life. We have
endeavoured to participate in your social and sports activities as you
have ours. I know when I say that Centralia was always looked upon as
a "good posting" that I have no fear of contradiction.
To the residents that will feel the closure of the Base in lost
trade or employment, I Sympathize with you, and offer my personal
regrets.
Once again, we, the personnel of CFB Centralia, wish to thank
you, the residents of the area, for your hospitality and friendship
over the past years, and offer to you our best wishes for a prosperous
and successful future.

there would be other land avail-
able in the area for any of the
mentioned uses, Hay's John Cor-
bett replied that he thought there
would be.
Leroy Thiel, Zurich, said he
would hate to think any action
by council might interrupt plans
or ideas for industy already on
the way there -- if in fact any
industry is interested.
He said some of the proposed
uses made by the agricultural
committee wouldn't employ as
many people as an industry and
said the county should work
closely with committees in the
Exeter area attempting to attract
industry.
He received full assurance
from Talbot and Corbett that the
agricultural committee would not
work against any industry.
One member noted, that even
if industry came into Centralia,
there were other sites available
in Huron and council should still
press the governments for
schools and experimental insti-
tutions dealing with agriculture.
Warden Ken Stewart said the
first idea was to get industry
into Centralia.

"It seems to me that the prob-
lem lies in determining the a-
mount that can be taken from the
people in taxes and the manner
and extent to which it is equally
distributed."
Mr. MacNaughton said he was
confident that the present Royal
Commissions delving into taxa-
tion would discover there is pre-
sently a complex duplication of
established tax sources and an
equally complex system of dis-
tribution of revenue funds be-
tween the three levels of govern-
ment--federal, prov incialand
municipal.
Speaking on equalization be-
tween provinces, he said this
Was a praiseworthy desire in-
deed but one which appears more
noteable by its intent than it is
in practice.
He said Roberts and the Gov-
ernment of Ontario believe in
equalization, and quoted the Pre-
mier as saying: "I am worried

a plan that will suit council," he
suggested.
He also suggested c ouncil
shouldn't let the Toronto people
off the hook so easily, "It's un-
fair the way Toronto sold us
(on the program) and now leave
the onus on us to make the de-
cision without giving us any guid-
ance," the Stephen reeve com-
mented.
"They sent big army men up
here with flashy uniforms," he
continued, noting they had sold
Huron on having a prpgram and
that they were now letting them
down.
Stanley Deputy-Reeve Elmer
Hayter said he was not satisfied
withTimmerman's explanation of
why Huron's plan was unsatis-
factory.
"I'm satisfied they don't have
a plan either," he remarked.
Reeve Boyle re-entered the
discussion and said the problem
boiled down to one fact -- a per-
sonality clash between Timmer-
man and Forbes.
He opined that Toronto had
turned down Huron's plan solely
on this fact and said it should
be up to the provincial officials
to prove the plan submitted had
been poor.
"Perhaps the change should
be made in the hierarchy of
EMO," he added, suggesting that
Huron contact other counties and
get support in their fight against
Timmerman and his department
if in fact other counties feel the
same as Huron.
Stephen Deputy-Reeve Ed Hend-
rick was one of the few to speak
in favour of disbanding EMO when
he said he had never seen a plan
for the county, and questioned
how many of his fellow council-
lors had seen the plan.
Tuckersmith Reeve Elgin
Thompson concluded the debate
with the words: "I don't think it
(EMO) is necessary in a place
like this".
Despite the fact most of the
debate appeared in favour of
retaining EMO, only six votes
were cast that way; Boyle and
Jim Hayter being the only area
reeves to vote against the com-
mittee recommendation to ter-
minate the program.
Stuart Forbes attended the
meeting and made comment to
'r-A editor Bill Batten that he
thought he would have been given
an opportunity to speak to coun-
cil. However, he wasn't.
"They're being short-sighted
and irresponsible," he said, as
he left the council chamber. HOTSON PROPANE

that the federal government may
choose to move into certain areas
of expenditure which will not
permit them to assist the pro-
vinces and the municipalities in
the work they must do. Once
that money disappears into a
new program, it is going to be
very difficult to get the readjust-
ments I am seeking. It is a ques-
tion of redistributing the revenue
of our country and every province
and every municipality so that
we can relieve this onerous bur-
den of taxation that is falling
upon our people".
Mr. MacNaughton ex pl a in e d
that at present the major spend-
ing programs fall under provin-
cial jurisdiction, while the fed-
eral government collects half the
revenue.
He said this imbalance leaves
the provinces and the munici-
palities in a continuous deficit
position while the federal gov-
ernment runs a surplus.
"Instead of allowing the prov-
inces and municipalities to use
the federal surplus to move out of
a deficit position and to hold the
line on taxes, the federal govern-
ment looks around for new and
costly welfare programs to im-
pose upon the people," he charg-
ed.
He concluded his remarks by
stating that the Ontario govern-
ment calls for:
-- A better matching of the re-
sources of revenue with consti-
tutional responsibilities.
-- Ontario contends that the two
senior levels of government are
mutually necessary and inter-de-
pendent, and should be in a po-
sition of high co-operation rather
than the present continuous state
of competition. 2 3 2005 G rand Bend

BLASTS PRESS
In his words of explanation on
the committee's work, Clinton's
George Wench blasted "the
press' for their reporting of the
issue.
He said that contrary to press
reports, there never was a secret
report on EMO and he added all
newspapermen should know that
the contents of committee meet-
ings should be treated as con-
fidential until dealt with by full
council,
Wonch concluded by stating
the press should have waited
until the matter was brought
before council before making any
reference to it. He suggested that
having heard the report at coun-
cil sessions, the press would
then be free to make opinions
as to whether council was right
or wrong.
