Ed Mittelholtz appeared before council to seek approval of a permit for a new house he is building on Huron St. East, but was advised the change in ownership had to be approved by the committee of adjustment before • a permit could be con- sidered. The lot is part of the Pooley property, on which there is no subdivision plan. Mittelholtz explained the people who had bought the land had sold their house and had hoped to have their new home constructed by the end of October. "It's out of our hands," Reeve • Derry Boyle explained. Two members of council noted that the couple had been advised of the problem before the deal was made. • Man sentenced on damage charge In provincial judge's court in Goderich, Thursday, Wayne Turvey of no fixed address was fined $50 or five days in jail.

Mr. McKeough made Stratford his first stop on a 10-region tour of Ontario where he will meet the directors of each of the 10 development councils, The Provincial. Treasurer said he was impressed with the proposed restructuring program of the Midwestern Development Council and said that the council is the only vehicle that can bring together governments at all levels along with the private sector including business, in- dustry and the man on the street. James C, Hayter of Dashwood, President of M,O,R,D.C., said he felt the meeting was one of the best between council and government and will lead to a strengthening of the council's role in Regional Development in Midwestern Ontario. Allan Ross, Warden of Wellington County and a Vice- president of the Development Council stated he felt that following the Council's sub- mission on the Phase I, Design for Development that will be made later this month, that a joint effort will be made by the Development Council and the provincial government to hold further meetings in an effort to settle the problems and unan- swered questions that arose during public hearings a few months ago on the Phase I: Analysis. Reeve Charles Thomas of Grey Township, Huron County, said it appeared the council had made some headway convincing the government that a better financial arrangement must be forthcoming in the future. He said the council made a strong presentation during discussions with the Minister on the subject of finances and membership. — Continued from frontpage required number for in- corporation. But it was not until three years later, when the population had increased to 1,200, that Lucan legally became a separate municipality. No saga of Lucan is complete without mentioning the murder of five of the Donnelly family of the Roman Line, on the doorstep of the town, February 4, 1880. When the news hit the outside world Lucan became notoriously famous and reporters flocked to the town. Overnight it became known as "the wildest town in Canada." Several books, published in recent years, have kept the 'Black Donnelly' caldron stirred up and tourists still visit the Donnelly plot in St. Patrick's cemetery even though the original marking stone has been replaced. Mr, McKeough agreed with Mrs. Betty McMillan, a member of Stratford council and an executive member of the development council, when she pointed out the role of the council has changed considerably since its founding days in 1956, The Provincial Treasurer praised the council for its alertness and adaption to changing conditions and times and that the emerging role is probably more in tune with today's concern for quality and environment than some other regions of the Province. Walter W. Gowing, general manager of the Midwestern Development Council, is presently preparing a document on the future role of the Council following the board's discussion with Mr. McKeough that will assist the province in their clarification of Regional Development Councils and the role they must assume in the future. New appointment to trustee board George Parsons, general manager of Goderich Elevator and Transit Company has been appointed to the Huron County Board of Education to replace Dr. Barry Deathe of Goderich who resigned during a dispute concerning secondary teachers' salary negotiations, E. C. Hill who was appointed to the board to replace the other Goderich member who resigned, Mrs. J, W. Wallace, was present at Monday's meeting and was officially sworn into office. With the appointment of Mr. Parsons, the board of education in Huron is now back to full strength. Despite the bad publicity Lucan continued and became a good place to live and raise families. Businesses, churches and schools thrived. By 1950 it was apparent that a community centre was greatly needed for the progressive, community-minded citizens. The Centre was completed in June, 1950, and the artificial ice arena was officially opened November 13, 1952. Lucan had a modern, public swimming pool several years before many larger communities had considered installing one. While the population dropped considerably from the 1,200 it boasted when it incorporated, it has now risen to 1,300, an all-time high. Lucan residents feel they are, as the sign outside the town says, "Lucky to Live in Lucan." Happy Birthday, Lucan! Grand Bend Reeve John Payne last week announced a campaign to launch a drive to raise $200,000 for a sports centre for the village. Payne originally announced his plans to seek a sports complex for Grand Bend at last fall's nomination meeting and it was one of the main planks in his election campaign. The Grand Bend reeve told the T-A Monday night "I am very excited about this project and I have at least eight Grand Bend businessmen that are "wildly enthusiastic" about lending their support, not only in working but with financial contributions. A meeting of supporters of the project was held Sunday af- ternoon and the first step was taken to get financial support. A tag day is being arranged for the Labour Day weekend when booster tags will be on sale to residents and visitors alike. The centre as planned presently would be equipped with artificial ice for hockey, curling and ice shows. Also included would he an indoor tennis court with the possibility of arranging a summer hockey school operated* by NHL stars. Continued the Reeve, "The idea was sparked originally by a year-round resort concept and my own personal desire to see Grand Bend have such a centre in the future." To kick-off the fund raising, Payne said, "I will personally donate one thousand dollars and another thousand dollars will come from my other business interests." Substantial grants from the provincial government are available for sport centre con- struction, according to the reeve. "Our area MPP has told me that we could qualify for a grant of $20,000. Equal amounts would also be available to the neigh- bouring townships of Stephen and Bosanquet. Another rosy aspect to the financial side of building and operating an area sport centre is seen in the fact that the provincial government would also make available a grant equal to a large percentage of the salary of a qualified recreational director, once the facility is operational. Mr. Payne said present plans call for approaching major breweries, government agencies, service clubs and other organizations for donations and patronage. Local efforts such as benefits, walkathons, tag days and car draws were also given as sources of community involvement and fund-raising. Asked why the project had not been launched earlier in the summer, the spokesman said, "It was delayed so that it would not interfere with fund raising efforts and completion of the new Medical Centre." Target date for completion of the sport centre is tentatively set for the fall of 1972. The reeve sees the growing permanent population of Grand Bend as ample reason for op- timism in planning for the sport complex. "The trend toward moving out of large cities and commuting to work is growing very fast" he said. More and more people are --continued from front page have kept the centre in operation since its opening July 1. Due to a village policy now in effect regarding the placing of signs on streets, a request from Southcott Pines Parklands Limited to erect two signs was rejected. The subdivision owners will be told they may erect the signs on the village's designated area north of the main intersection or on private property. Councillor Murray Des Jardins who is in charge of parks and the beach was criticized for "ex- tremely high costs" of operating the bath house. Finds cars ready to go In a news release this week, Exeter Police Chief Ted Day asks motorists to remove the ignition keys when parking their vehicles. On a recent 20-minute tour of the main street, Day found six unattended vehicles with keys left in the ignition. The chief added, "Whose fault would it be if any of these vehicles were stolen." building permanent homes here to get away from high taxes, heavy traffic and the rat race in general and I feel certain they would join with the present residents in supporting such a centre." Each year winter sport ac- tivities continue to grow in the Grand Bend area and the reeve feels the village should "ef- fectively anticipate the demand for modern facilities for visiting as well as resident sportsmen." The reeve, in emphasizing a strong desire for local par- ticipation in the project, said many young people have already assured him of their support. "In spite of any differences that may exist between local residents I feel we should pull together on this project. After all, we would all benefit and so would the whole area." A four to five-acre site is being sought on which to build the centre. Des Jardins was asked by council to attempt to hire ad- ditional personnel rather than pay a lot of overtime wages. Des Jardins said he would attempt to have the situation corrected and added, "The bath house was never designed to be a money maker." In addition, he said, "As far as the lifeguard program is con- cerned I haven't changed my mind one iota that it should be discontinued in the future." Councillor David Jackson told council that employees of the SWEEP program are doing an excellent job on cleaning up the river bank and river bed within the village limits and he expected they would continue until August 25. Council learned that the Grand Bend library would be moved to the public school by the end of August.
