The province is proceeding to acquire about 5,000 acres north of Highway 8 between Clinton and Seaforth which will be developed for a variety of wildlife species and recreational pursuits. Because of current restraints on government expenditures, Column receives OWNA award The Exeter Times-Advocate was the winner of one prizes in this year's better newspapers competition conducted by the Ontario Weekly Newspapers Association. "Batt'n Around with the Editor" was judged second best in the competition open to all column writers in the Association. Winner of the award was Clara Bernhardt of the Preston Times. • The awards will be presented this week at the annual OWNA convention in Toronto. Editor Bill Batten and Mrs. Batten will be representing this newspaper at the event. Usborne lets two contracts Usborne Township council awarded two contracts at their February meeting. The meeting also featured a presentation of a desk set to Reeve Roy Westcott to mark the occasion of his election as Huron warden. The presentation was made by road superintendent W. J. Routly on behalf of the council and township officials. R. H. Jennison Ltd., Grand Bend, was awarded the gravel contract. The firm will crush and spread 15,000 cubic yards at 92c per yard and crush and stockpile an additional 2,000 yards at 60c for a total cost of $15,000. The price was $720 less than the figure tendered by Sandy Contracting Co. Ltd., Goderich. Fuel tenders were also opened and awarded to the low bidder, Ross Scott Limited, Brucefie Id. The firm will supply and deliver gasoline at 21.5c per gallon, diesel fuel at 18c and stove oil at 24c. Six bids were received. In other business, council: Approved membership be taken out in the Ontario Farm Drainage Association for $10 and the Ontario Association of Mayors and Reeves at $20. Approved weekly expenses of $3 for the sanitary inspector. Appointed Councillors Morley and Ferguson to the MODA Tourist Council and Councillor McBride to the MODA zone council. Discussed interim or more-than-once-a-year tax billing but deferred decision until the county finishes discussion with the Huron Board of Education on the proposal that municipalities pay levies twice yearly as opposed to the quarterly payments as authorized by government regulations. Agreed thattatt billing through the IBM datacentre would not be suitable to Usborne's requirements. purchase and development of the area will be phased over a four- to five-year period. "The plans suggest this wildlife program will interest naturalists and hunters over a wide area, including neighbouring jurisdictions in the United States," stated Mr. MacNaughton, MPP for Huron. "I believe this will help to stimulate the tourist industry along the Lake Huron shore, which has great potential for economic development of this area." Municipal officials have been consulted about the project, the MPP said, and have indicated support for it. "Generally, they agree that a managed wildlife program constitutes wise use of this marshland in Hullett Township, most of which is sub-marginal for agricultural purposes." Lands and Forests officials anticipate that 5,000 to 10,000 Canada geese will be attracted to the area during the migratory season. The fall fly-route follows the Lake Huron shore, which is only a few miles from the proposed development. The department also hopes to establish a resident breeding flock of giant Canada geese which formerly nested A new manufacturing firm, Traylor Industries Limited, opened last week in part of the large building owned by Hensall District Co-operative, just east of the village of Zurich. The firm will initially manufacture campers to fit on pick-up trucks, although at some time, at a later date, they may branch into other lines of mobile units. President of the new firm is James H. Taylor, of Hensall, who has been connected with various aspects of the mobile home industry for over 20 years. He initially started in the business in Ilderton, where the St. Cyr family began building mobile homes before moving their plant to Hensall, where it became known as Clipper Coach, and then General Coach Works. At the time he left General Coach Works, Mr. Taylor was general sales manager of the firm. For the past number of years Mr. Taylor has been associated with Custom Trailers at Exeter, in an advisory capacity, as well as working on sales for that firm. In outlining some of his plans to the Citizens News, Mr. Taylor said he hoped his years of experience in both the manufacturing and sales fields, Police recover stolen garment Thanks to swift police action, a leather coat stolen from the Exeter arena late Saturday evening was recovered in London, Sunday afternoon. The coat owned by Miss Sheila Willert was taken from the teen town dance at the arena. Two persons were arrested in London Sunday by Chief Ted Day and Constable James Dingwell and a London detective and taken to the Huron County jail in Goderich. At Provincial Judge's Court in Goderich, Monday, Marshall S. Griffin, 21, 630 Eden Avenue, London pleaded guilty to a theft charge and received a one year suspended sentence and was placed on probation. A similar charge against Raymond Foster,21, 4 Edith Street, London was withdrawn._ throughout southwestern Ontario but have become relatively extinct. The Hullett location is expected to become one of the major nesting areas for the giant species. A dam will be built on the South Maitland River to create a 2,000-acre shallow water impoundment. This wetland and adjacent upland fields will be managed to provide nesting, brooding, feeding and staging areas for waterfowl. Upland woods, hedgerows, gullies and fields will supply food and cover for native game species including ruffed grouse, woodcock and rabbits. Some possibilities exist also for the development of furbearing animals, including mink and muskrat. The wildlife program will provide for controlled public hunting and trap shooting. It will also encourage such activities as wildlife photography, bird watching, dog-field trials and other nature-oriented hobbies which are growing in popularity. Total development cost is estimated at a modest $65,000. The projected figure for acquisition of the land is not being released at this time. in connection with mobile homes, would prove beneficial to the new firm. He pointed out that there is more and more demand continually for the smaller mobile units that fit on the back of pick-up trucks. The new firm will occupy the entire west half of the large building now owned by Hensall Co-Op, which was formerly the home of Zurich Builder's Supply. They will also have some extra space at the south end of the building, which will give them over 3,000 square feet of floor space. Most of the necessary equipment is now in the shop, ready 'to work with, and • all supplies should be in this week, as well, Mr. Taylor said. At the present time only three or four persons will be employed in the plant, but as production increases and systems are set up this work force could be increased. Plant foreman for the new enterprise will be Murray Baker of Hensall, another veteran of many years experience in the mobile home industry. Both Mr. Baker and Mr. Taylor began working in the shop this week, and they hope to turn out their first model unit in the very near future. Following this an assembly line system of production will be adopted. Mr. Taylor has been quite active in the community over the past years, and at the present time is the Hensall-Hay Township-Zurich representative on the Huron County Board of Education. Prior to this he served on the Advisory Committee to the Central Huron Vocational School at Clinton for a number of years. Mr. & Mrs. Jack Blair entertained February 5 in honor of the 78th birthday of Mrs. Blair's mother, Mrs. Flanigan. Mrs. Flanigan's family were in attendance including her grandchildren and great-grandchild, Kelly Lyn ern, daughter of Mr. & R?ti Horn, Exeter. Centralia Industrial Park now provides more than twice the civilian employment than did the former air force base from which it has been transformed, Ontario Treasurer Charles MacNaughton stated in a progress report this week. Approximately 600 people, including government staff, are now working in the park. Before the base was deactivated, civilian complement was around 250. "The success of this venture continues to be encouraging," said the Ontario Treasurer, who is MPP for Huron riding. "We are well ahead of the development schedule anticipated by the consultants who recommended the project to the government." Mr. MacNaughton said the eight industries in the plant will continue to generate more jobs for the area. "The Ontario Development Corporation, which operated the park, anticipates a sizeable increase in job opportunities during the coming year." A number of firms are planning to expand their operations during 1970. Other industries are beginning to develop their capacity after the initial adjustment period. "I am pleased to say that there have been relatively few problems during the transition stage for the park," Mr. MacNaugh ton stated. 'The O.D.C. and other government representatives have worked closely with local authorities to avoid any major disruptions for the community." Stevenson and Kellogg Ltd., the consultants who examined the feasibility of an industrial park at Centralia, estimated that the base could be reactivated as an industrial-educational complex by 1974. "For all practical purposes, the job was completed before 1970," the Huron MPP commented. "This record reflects the capability of the O.D.C. staff and Mr. Jack Malone, park manager, who have been responsible for the park's performance.'. The Treasurer revealed that revenue from the park now exceeds the operating cost and is making a contribution toward repayment of the province's investment in the base and the renovations that were required. Largest employer at Centralia is Hall Lamp Company of Canada Limited, which manufactures automotive lighting equipment in two of the seven former hangars. It has a staff of 300. Dunlop Canada Limited has expanded into two hangars also and now employs about 80 people in its Chemline and bicycle tire divisions. Hughes Boat Works Limited, one of the first industries to locate in the park, has increased its staff to more than 60. Other industries include The Daymond Company Limited (plastic plumbing fixtures and pipe), Space-Pak International Limited (pre-fabricated housing), Ferplas Industries Limited (plastic strapping and twines), Acme Neon Signs (London) Limited, and Tabor Metal Fabricators (car transports). About 175 students are enrolled in the educational complex operated by the Ontario Dep,artment of Agriculture and Food. This includes the Centralia College of Agricultural Technology and the veterinary services school which has converted the former base hospital into a laboratory. Exeter United Church named Th4 name for the new United Church in Exeter has been settled. Members at the second congregational meeting were informed of the results of a secret ballot conducted by Dr. H. H. Cowen to determine a name. Seventeen titles were suggested from which the congregation selected its choice. Dr. Cowen announced the results of the first and only. was 'Exeter United Church.' Harold Skinner reported for the board of managers that the former Main Street parsonage and contents had been sold for $14,500.00 He also informed the congregation that an offer had been made on the Main Street church building by the Exeter Pentecostal Church but no final agreement has been reached. No new officers were elected due to the complete reorganization of the official board. Reporting on behalf of the re-structuring committee, Irvine Armstrong said the new structure should be set into motion by April. The whole organizational structure of the church is being revamped to increase participation of members of the congregation. Reports were received from the various eommittees and organizations. Carfrey Cann expressed the congregation's appreciation to Rev. Glen Wright and Mrs. Wright. All 17 classrooms of the elementary school are being used by Huron County Board of Education. Enrolment is 350 students. During the past year, Q.D.C. has improved a number of basic services in the park. The airfield has become operational with the installation of runway lights, obstruction lights and a rotating beacon. A new 100,000 gallon water tank gives greater fire protection and the conversion of the steam heating plant from coal to natural gas provides more uniform pressure for industrial processing. The community aspect of the park continues to develop. Residents are now served by a daily bus service, restaurant, food market, service station, barber shop, beauty salon, bank, post office and manpower centre. The extensive recreational facilities of the former air force base are being put to good use. The arena hosts several area hockey teams, as well as minor hockey, public and figure skating programs. Also in operation are the curling rink, bowling alley and gymnasium. The swimming pool is a major summer attraction. The base was purchased for $600,000 in August, 1967. It was deactivated a year earlier by the Department of National Defence.

"A Revolution of 'Rising Expectation' is sweeping across the world. People are no longer satisfied with sub-standard living in any part of the world. We must adjust to a program of more aid to the people who need it. There are tremendous opportunities, but at the same time terrible risks if we do not meet our responsibilities." SPEAKS AT CHURCH Dr. McClure's visit to Exeter was arranged by the ACTS Men's Club of Exeter United Church. He was the speaker for their annual Brotherhood banquet, Monday night. The event was again sold out and the 155 men in attendance represented 19 congregations and eight denominations from Huron and Perth. Dr. Don Ecker, president of the club, welcomed the guests to the annual event, and following the banquet the men moved to the church auditorium to hear Dr. McClure. His address was also open to the public. Many of Dr. McClure's comments were the same as expressed at the high school as he spoke on"adaptation,"noting that Canadians must adapt to the shrinking world, the hungry world and the fact they are a minority group on the face of the earth. He suggested the world would soon see a revolution — "the biggest that has ever come our way" — as under-privileged people now realize there is a better way of life and they want to share in it. "Today there are many men who would rather die from a machine gun bullet through their chest than sit and watch their wife and children die from starvation," he stated. He urged his audience to consider the fact that "we're all on this earth together, and we'd better make the best of it". Dr., McClure told how one community had been able to increase wheat production by the use of diesel engine used for irrigation and he suggested this was "showing people the love of God through technology". He indicated this was one of the main areas in which prosperous nations could help overcome starvation in the world.
