Keen interest over cadets Charge man after chase Continued from page 1 of possible nuclear development closeby. In a telephone conversation Saturday afternoon, the reeve said the people of the area "don't seem to be frightened" by the possibility though he expects some are thinking about the changes which could take place in the area if a nuclear plant there did become reality. Ironically, when county council met last Friday, one of the documents on the desk of each member was a copy of the secondary plan for the village of Zurich. Containing over 60 pages prepared by the staff of the Huron County Planning Department, the book shows two housing subdivisions - one almost ready to roll, according to Reeve Turkheim and one in the planning stages, The progressive little village has water and sewage to offer with housing for senior citizensand a dentist's quarters in the offing. Reeve Turkheim termed it "purely co-incidental" that Zurich's plan was ready at the same time as the announcement about a nuclear plant in the area was made. Asked if he had considered the implications of a nuclear development to the Zurich area, the reeve said he'd thought of many aspects but doubted that "much harm" would come to Zurich if a nuclear plant was located outside the village. He saw it bringing "tremen- with the situation which has arisen out of the Douglas Point development. "The average citizen doesn't seem to be that concerned," said Reeve Turkheim. "If he is, he's not talking about it," Mayor Jack Delbridge of Exeter says he's not prepared to say whether a nuclear plant in his area would be good or bad. "I just don't know," admits Delbridge. "But I sometimes wonder if it wouldn't have been a great deal better for all of us if we'd never cracked the atom," said Delbridge. "One day there's going to be an accident and we're going to blow ourselves up." Delbridge says that speaking personally, he is concerned about the environmental aspect of nuclear energy. He wonders if future generations will suffer because of it one day. But, says Delbridge, if nuclear energy is to be reality in the area, the people of Huron will have to live with it, "Is it worth the risk?" muses Delbridge. "Who knows, but I don't think it matters whether the plant is at Blake or Douglas Point or Toronto or Montreal, A great many people could be affected." District yo-uths have displayed a keen interest in the Army Cadet program being organized by the Legion branches at Exeter and Lucan. Cpl. Jesse Reed, who will head the instruction team, said this week he has received numerous calls from young people seeking information on the Royal Canadian Army Cadet program. It is open to young men and women between the ages of 13 and 19 and will be conducted at the Huron Park recreation Centre. In view of the response, registration day has been set for this Sunday at 2 :00 p.m, at the recreation centre, Application forms for the Cadet program, plus details are available at the Legion Halls in Lucan and Exeter, the Lucan OPP office, Exeter Post Office and the Huron Park arena. An Exeter man, Gary Welsh, 429 Main street has been charged as the result of a high speed chase early Thursday morning on High- way 21, The chase started at Goderich and ended at Northville, near Port Franks.

No one was injured and damages were listed at $800, Officers of the Exeter detach- ment also participated in the chase.

Hubert estimated damages at $800, During the week officers of the Pinery Park detachment in- vestigated 13 occurrences and laid one impaired driving charge, eight Highway Traffic infractions and three Liquor Control Act charges. Some of theyear's budgets have been presented to Heron County Council and according to Administrator John Berry, there may have to be extra dollars raised to finance the 1974 com- mitments. Half in jest and half in sin- cerity, Berry told county coun- cillors that when all the budgets are totalled together this year the outcome may require some changes in the county mill rate. During 1974 general govern- ment will cost $65,400 including the Warden's salary and ex- penses at $3,500; county council sessions at $25,000; county committees at $15,000 and con- ventions and delegations at $3,500, General administration will take another $118,200 with $80,000 required for salaries in the clerk- treasurer's department along with $5,000 for telephone bills; $1,500 for postage; $300 for ad- vertising; $7,500 for legal audit and insurance fees; $4,500 for travel and conventions; $700 for wormen's compensation; and Ideal weather and record crowds featured the fifth annual Crippled Children's Weekend at the Pineridge Chalet, Close to 3,000 persons were in attendance Sunday to watch and participate in the various events, Capacity crowds were on hand for dances Friday and Saturday nights.

Jim McGregor said from his Kippen area farm Wednesday morning, "my position is a little different than the other six. I announced several months ago that I would be quitting at the end of this term, but I am still con- cerned about the hog industry." The seven directors quit after their bid to fire the board's executive secretary James Boynton of Paisley failed. The motion to have Mr. Boynton replaced drew a 7-6 vote in favour until chairman Keith Weeden of Paisley tied it with his vote. He then defeated the motion with his prerogative second vote as chairman. A statement issued by the seven in Toronto Tuesday said they were "disturbed by the interference and obstruction created by the executive secretary" at the board level. One of the retiring directors Bill Bilderback of Putnam said the crux of the matter was who is going to make board policy, the board or an employee of the board. Jim McGregor said he agreed with Mr. Bilderback's statement. He added, "this is an internal problem. It has been brewing for over a year." The Huron director said it will be up to the about 250 councilmen who get a vote for directors at the annual meeting to be held in Toronto March 20 and 21. He continued, "the six men who resigned can be nominated again at the annual meeting." Huron has 25 councilmen. They are determined on the number of producers in each county and production figures. ' Huron leads Ontario in the number of producers but is behind Perth and Waterloo in production figures. graduating from Eastern Pen- tecostal Bible College in Peterborough in 1972, he served the Pentecostal congregation in Wingham.
