Gowing, MODA manager, has had an opportunity to express his opinions in the matter. Huron now has a full time development officer in the person of R, S. Cummings, a former armed forces member stationed at Clinton CFB, Some members of council feel Huron County cannot afford to support MODA and a full time development of- ficer. In other business at last Friday's all-day session of Huron County Council, Paul Carroll, Reeve of Goderich, introduced a motion on behalf of Goderich, which if approved would hire a full time building, trench and plumbing inspector at the county level. "It is apparent that a need for control over these services has reached a point where a qualified person should be appointed to protect the county and the municipalities," said Carroll. "Cost could be shared on a per capita basis, with the larger centres bearing the greatest expense," said Carroll who noted that a similar system is em- ployed in the county of Brant. The matter will be studied by a committee of county council. Rip down walls at Goderich jail "We've got rocks for sale," quipped Warden Jack Alexander during last Friday's session, of Huron County Council.

The library was moved into specially prepared quarters in Grand Bend Public School in September, and opened for longer hours.

The school children too, are enjoying the large selection of books available in the new library. "I see children taking books home who have never read a book in their lives before" said Mr. Bill Freele, Principal of the Grand Bend School, lie and his staff are enthusiastic about the shared library, of the Crediton Road.
