On Wednesday, at Huron council's first business meeting of 1972, Walter Gowing, executive director of Midwestern Development Council, James Hayter, MDC president; and Peter Branch, co-ordinator of services for the provincial department, Treasury and Economics, worked together to present a brief to council which would convince members to support MDC (MODA) again this year. The entire morning session of council wasi taken up in the presentation of the MDC brief. Only the last 20 minutes or so was devoted to questioning from Huron members to MDC of- ficials. At noon, Warden Elmer Hayter advised the delegation the matter would be taken to the planning and development committee for study and recommendation to county council. MDC officials were called in when it became apparent that some members of county council were expressing dissatisfaction with the results achieved by the organization first formed in 4956, Membership in MDC last year cost Huron taxpayers $6,100. Fees- for the-coming year will be collected again it March and a decision about Huron's mem- bership will have to be ruched by that time. Walter Gowing quoted many statistics for the enlightenment of council and even traced the growth of MDC through 16 years. , Still he was hard pressed to impress Huron County Council with the progress report which remained intangible and beyond touching or mentally grasping unless there had been personal involvement. He attempted to explain that the near $1,000,000 Waterloo and South Wellington study to be released about the end of February, had very definite implications which would affect Huron County. He predicted fantastic growth in the coming years in the Waterloo-South Wellington area and suggested that planning was underway to ensure that westerly counties includipg Huron would provide a vital r, le in supplying auxiliary serviceg to the boom area. The provincial government, Gowing said, would play a larger supporting role in MDC's plan- ning and it was important that every district within the four county region of Waterloo, Wellington, Perth and Huron would have a voice - an op- portunity to take part in the decision making of the province. Gowing outlined MDC's im- portance as a liaison between the grass roots people and province of Ontario, He said that in the coming year, it was hoped MDC would work more closely with county councils — perhaps through a representative from each county council sitting on the regional council in Stratford and through a proposed plan for MDC officials to meet on a regular basis with individual county councils in their own chambers. The executive •lirector also explained the difficulty in at- tracting industry to the region and more particularly, to an essentially agricultural county like Huron. He said that MDC is working with industrialists throughout North America and in other countries, to acquaint them with the advantages of business in the midwestern Ontario region. Part of MDC's work is to assist existing industries in this region to grow and expand. He spoke about the Council's new magazine - MID - which is ex- tolling the virtues of the region to people in all walks of life in many, many places. But it was Peter Branch who got down to brass ta,cks. He said he was concerned about Huron's seemingly disenchantment with MDC and said MDC officials were "rather hurt" by Huron's attitude. "If you are not over- enthusiastic about MDC tell us what are the alternatives," said Branch. "What does MDC not have that some other organization might have? Where can the council serve you bet- ter?" Touching on the importance of regional co-operation through 1MDC, Branch said that from the 10 regions across the province, the government received "10 viewpoints, not several hundreds :or thousands." President Jim Hayter summed p the presentation with a few well-chosen words from MDC's standpoint. "We need your support," said "Hayter, "not just your financial support but we need the support 'of the people. Send us your problems. Telephone us in Stratford." One question from the floor was how MDC planned to deal with the new owner of CFB Clinton, John van Gastel, Galt. Would MDC assist him in securing in- dustry for his investment? Gowing answered that MDC planned to do everything possible to assist Mr. van Gastel in the , Clinton operation. He said MDC recognized the sale of CFB -Clinton as just the "first step up the ladder." Gerry Ginn of ' Goderich -Township asked a question concerning MDC's interest in the agricultural industry, He won- dered what plans MDC had to put .,the rural economy on a par with industry. . Ginn was told that for the first time, agriculture is a priority item with MDC and that an agricultural section of MDC will take the problems of farmers to government in an effort to en- courage fair practices and better incomes for rural people. Ed. Oddliefson, reeve of the village of Hayfield, outlined the poor system of communication in Huron County and suggested that a better road system is necessary if Huron is ever to provide ser- vices for industry, see tourism grow or help the farmer to better markets for his products. Gowing said that MDC sees the need for an extension of Highway 401 from the Kitchener-Waterloo area to Goderich. He said that as conditions change in the Kit- chener-Waterloo area such a highway would be a valuable asset to the region. With regard to the tran- sportation hearings being hosted by a committee of the federal government in this area, Gowing said that MDC is preparing a brief to be presented at the hearing in Stratford on January 26, He indicated that the content of the brief would suggest to government alternate methods of public transport — such as air service — could be established with the area in which passenger train service was discontinued. Gowing also suggested that some form of government sub- sidization for such a tran- sportation service would likely be appreciated. Also in the audience was Spence Cummings, development officer for the county of Huron. Towards the end of 1971, council had hinted that the county would have to discontinue something — either membership in MDC or the service of the development of- ficer. The decision still has not been reached but MDC officials did their best to stem the tide of discontentment in Huron County Council. Did you ever think you'd see the day when you were better off than the Penn Central? Some bridge parties burn the scandal at both ends. The drawback with bucket seats is that not everyone has the .same size bucket.
