Farmers in Bruce county and
the northeastern part of Huron
County have organized to fight
for a better deal with regards to a
proposed power line to run from
Douglas Point Nuclear
Generating Station to Seaforth.
Adrian Vos of Blyth, a member
of the property committee of the
Huron Federation of
Agriculture told directors of the
Federation Thursday that the
Huron and Bruce Federations
through their property com-
mittees have met with all far-
mers in the path of the proposed
high-voltage line except those in
Hullett township and there has
been complete agreement on
setting up a negotiating com-
mittee to fight for the best
possible deal for farmers. The
negotiating committee will be
chaired by Burton flodgins,
president of the Bruce
Federation of Agriculture.
The Huron Federation agreed
to supply money to help the
committee do its job.
Dave McCallum of Turnberry
said farmers who will be affected
in that area have already chipped
in to a fund to support the com-
mittee's work and the Turnberry
Township Federation of
Agriculture is also giving
financial support. He said the
farmers feel that since Ontario
Hydro is hiring specialists to talk
to farmers about the line, they
should have specialists who can
talk back. With good financial
backing, he said, the committee
can get these people.

Most area residents and
visitors who attended Saturday's
Santa Claus parade agreed,.,
one point. "It was a terrific
parade." Those were the com-
ments heard throughout
Saturday afternoon.
With three top notch bands
taking part, the parade contained
about 38 floats with most of the
entries following the theme set
out by the Board of Trade Santa
Claus parade committee.
The parade theme was
"Christmas Through the Years"
and was tied in with Exeter's
Centennial to be celebrated in
1973.
Main street and some of the
side streets were lined with
spectators two and three deep at
least a half hour before the
scheduled starting time of two
o'clock.
The parade started at the
arena, went to Main street, south
to Huron, west to Carling, north
to Victoria and back to the
starting point at the arena.
A salary schedule for the
planning department was
presented and approved with the
director to receive a minimum of
$14,090to a maximumof $20,000; a

ditional $1,000 bringing their

At Huronview, the estimates
are in for the landscaping project
there. Contracts let to date in-
clude R. Gordon Rapson, $8,293
for sidewalks and pathways; Ives
Construction, $2,500 for patios;
Art's Landscaping, $4,224.62 for
trees and shrubs; and Huron
County Highways, $219 for con-
tingencies. Total is $15,236.62.
"This total is approximately
$2,000 less than the original
estimate," said Hugh Flynn,
chairman, "The balance of the
work will now have to be left until
next spring. This includes the
installation of a planter, lighting
and the golf greens, as well as the
digging of flower beds in certain
r,
areas around the Home,"
Also at Huronview, the fuel oil
tender was let to Ross Scott
Fuels, Brucefield, for 12.95 cents
per gallon. Last year's oil cost
14.16 cents per gallon,
Snow removal at Huronview
will cost $11 per hour this year
and the contract goes to Glen
Layton, RR 5 Clinton. Layton had
the contract last year at the same
cost.
Total expenditures in the Social
Services department amounted
to $232,314,58 as of October 31,
1972, The county share amounted
to $62,313,90 with the province
contributing the balance. The
county share is approximately
$15,000 less than anticipated and
it is expected the surplus will be
maintained for the balance of the
year,
John McKinnon said the sur-
plus is due to the feet the
province of Ontario is taking over
the extended care program for
nursing home patients.
Next year's committee
structure will be a little different,
The Development committee will
be divorced from the planning
board and will be set up with a
separate committee consisting of
five members, This committee's
responsibility will be the
development officer, tourism,
reforestation properties and
agricultural matters.
The function of the county
museum will be transferred back
to the property committee.
Two additional members will
be added to the Social Service
Committee, although only four of
the total could represent County
Council on the Children's Aid
Board.
University of Western Ontario
scholarships were approved for
John Goddard of Hensall and
Miss Margaret Gorwill, Seaforth,
