"We are also concerned that an extremely rapid growth and geographical concentration of the urban population not encroach unduly upon agricultural land and also that it not become a contributor to environmental pollution," the minister said. Mr. MacNaughton said, "Like most of you here I have lived in this region for many years and have witnessed the changes taking place. We all know, for example; that as our farms grow larger we shall have fewer farms. "We must bring more jobs and people to the slower growing parts of the region. We must pool our efforts to provide the required services for our local cities and towns, to foster recreational activity, to improve government services and to stimulate other activities which will help both the region and the province." 1n110411611111 %UV 1 FOGS GRE—_ AND NEIGHBOURS /frf • Mr. MENDVFIT vouLL RE SEEING ME IN TffE ADS RUN BY YOUR FRIEND Jerry Arnold & Sons ESSO HOME HEAT SERVICE RR 2 DASHWOOD 238-2649 EDUCATION PRIORITIES Needs Huron Reduce secondary school dropouts lyM Reduce pupil/teacher ratios Upgrade smaller secondary schools Increase post-secondary enrolment Increase the number and variety of adult education courses iI TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATION PRIORITIES Needs Huron Road improvements for rural areas, smaller centres Road improvements between larger urban centres Improvement to airport facilities and services Access to and from airports Passenger rail services maintenance Rail cargo services maintenance Air freight services development n.a.

When the matter came up at last week's council meeting, Councillor Ross Dobson presented a motion that the holiday not be proclaimed. He got his motion seconded quickly by Councillor Ross Taylor, but they were quickly over-ruled by their counterparts. Actually, the motion was presented in a light-hearted way and never even got on the books. Delay sentence on uttering count Judge Glenn Hays reserved sentence on a charge of uttering laid against a Huron Park woman, Catherine T. Brooks. The woman had pleaded guilty at the last court session to cashing a cheque belonging to another person, and the case was set over fora pre-sentence report. Goderich lawyer Dan Murphy represented the accused and told the court she was living on a meagre income. However, Judge Hays said the social engagements enjoyed by the woman did not indicate such. Crown Attorney W. G. Cochrane suggested some kind of guidance as to managing money might help the woman. A 16-year-old Goderich youth, John Wayne Ladd, was placed on probation for two years after pleading guilty to breaking and entering Oakwood Inn on June 29. The youth was not caught following the break-in, but confessed to the incident when being tried in Sarnia- Court on a similar charge of breaking into Monetta Menard's Tavern at Grand Bend. The people of the four-county Midwestern Region of Ontario have been invited to comment on the government's analysis of the region's social and economic needs. The Hon. Charles MacNaughton, Provincial Treasurer and Minister of Economics, said iii presenting the report in Listowel Monday night, that the government's development proposals for the region would not be established until there is plenty of opportunity for the people in the region to respond to them and to consider them in terms of their own local interests and to make known how they would be affected and what are the best ways of carrying them out. 'These broad provincial plans, and the provincial policies that will influence the shaping of local plans, are not proposals that are being imposed from on high. "We are particularly interested in suggestions from you about the priorities and long-range proposals for the development of the region," the minister said. "We would like your opinions about the needs and priorities for each zone of the region, item by item, in the kind of detail that will enable us to bring together into an overall program a detailed system of planning policies and priorities for the region. "We would like your views on transportation systems, on land use, on recreation areas, on urban growth and centres of influence, on education needs, on health care facilities, in short on all of the matters dealt with in the report." Mr. MacNaughton set out three questions the government would like to have answered. They are: 1. Do you agree with our selection of the problems and needs for the region?

Residents will have an opportunity to discuss the report at a series of public meetings to be held throughout the region from the pole at the Liquor Control Board store at the corner of Main and Wellington. Chief Ted Day reports that his department is continually receiving complaints regarding the manner some youngsters in town are riding their bicycles on sidewalks. The most recent complaint comes from the corner of Williarti and Anne Streets where four young riders apparently line up from the north, south, east and west and race to the intersection playing the game of "chicken". On different occasions they have narrowly missed being hit by cars at the intersection. Day warns that if the situation is not corrected, his department will have no alternative but to start laying charges. He cited a case in Leamington on July 24 when a woman died after being struck by a bicycle ridden by a seven year-old boy. The only accident of the week occurred late Wednesday morning when vehicles driven by Robert Eugene Wolfe, 243 Carling Street and Morris James Rowland, Voorefield collided at the corner of Highways 4 and 83.

CLAUDE FARROW Kongskilde Limited, Exeter, a subsidiary of the Head Office in. Denmark, has just announced a change in management, The Kongskilde Group of Companies prides itself in their ability to specialize within the two lines of tillage equipment and grain handling. In order to maintain their lead in these fields, specialists are required with intimate knowledge of the industry, To meet this requirement, Mike Darbishire, President & General Manager for the past three years, :s being transferred to England where he shall take up the appointment of Director of Market Research for the Kongskilde Group. Mr. Darbishire, who was previously in Canada during the war, welcomed the opportunity of returning by saying "I am particularly pleased with the kindness and friendship extended to me, especially by the people of Exeter.

Jeanne Hall, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Mike Dzioba, RR 3, Exeter, is also being transferred to England to continue in the — Continued from front page sewage disposal. Compounding the problem is the increased cut of woodlots thereby resulting in increased water run-off. The report notes that a case can.be made for preserving part of the Lake Huron shoreline for public recreational use because it is becoming increasingly developed as a private cottage and recreation complex. The report says all people in the Midwestern Ontario Region should have a choice of employment opportunities and a wider variety of services. "The lack of a regional design for development has not allowed the creation to date of a viable system of urban areas which offer concentrated ranges of choices and opportunities to all the people of the region. The high cost of services may well make it impracticable to stimulate the growth of every urban centre in the future. A case can be made for concentrating the provision of services in a selected few urban centres where the necessary population size and assorted employment opportunities and choices can serve the needs of the northern and western parts of the region." In summing up the report "from the viewpoint of a long-time resident as well as the minister whose department has prepared the report," Mr. MacNaughton said he was optimistic about the future of the Midwestern region. Road construction right on schedule Work on reconstruction of Highway 4 within the northerly limits of Exeter is progressing well. C.A. McDowell of McDowell Construction in Centralia said this week the job was a bit ahead of schedule and Inc expected the paving to be underway within five weeks time. BILL & DOUG'S g.
