Philip Ganclon, -Rector David .Elston, Organist Sunday, September 4 THIRTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY 8.00 a.m.—Holy Communion 11:15 .a.m..2-Choral Eucharist 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.

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.

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. CAVEN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Main at Hill St., Exeter Minister: Rev. John C. Boyne, B.A., B.D.

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 GRAND BEND PUBLIC SCHOOL Mr. Wm. lereele, principal, Mrs. Janet Desjardine, Mrs. Joan Eagleson, Mrs. Loreen Gill, Mrs. Marjorie Mason, Miss Sue Ann Svendsen, John Patrick Soidan.

Open road to lake —through old lake EMO debate —Continued from front page 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 ENJOY THE COMFORTS OF GAS 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 NORTH BOSANQUET Hon.

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.
