Economics outweighed the
spirit of Canada Week as
Huron County council agreed
to advertise the availabilty
of industrial land in the
county in the Montreal Star.
The debate on whether to
spend $655 to attract Quebec
investment through a sixday
Star ad in September
brought out concerns about
Canadian unity, the need to
attract new industry and
even the current strike at the
Fleck Manufacturing Ltd.
plant.
Development committee
chairman Bill Elson, reeve
of Morris Township, said the
Montreal daily was chosen
because it is a national
newspaper and not because
the county wanted to lure
industry out of Quebec.
While the majority of
council agreed to go ahead
with the advertisement,
several agreed with Stanley
Township Deputy Reeve
Paul Steckle that the timing
of the ads is bad.
“In a country where we
are striving for national
unity...in the best interest of
the county we should not do
this now.’’
Turnberry Township
Reeve Don Eadie told the
meeting: “I think there is
enough problem keeping
people happy in Canada
without going this far.”
Spence Cummings, county
development officer, said
after the meeting that the
ads state only that there is
industrial land available in
Huron County and there is no
enticement for Quebec
•industry to move here.
A similar ad was con
sidered about a year ago but
the idea was dropped after
Premier William Davis
asked Ontario municipalities
not to take advantage of the
Quebec situation.
But Cummings said other
municipalities are con
tinuing to advertise in
Quebec markets as they
have always done. “Every
other municipality is doing it
and has for years. It has
nothing to do with the unity
question.”
Stephen Township Reeve
Cecil Desjardine, who
represents Huron Park
where the Fleck strike is
continuing, said he thought
the county should concern
itself with “handling” the
industry here before
worrying about more.
Desjardine said he has
received calls from other
industries located in the park
about the effects of the strike
and that the township has
had to watch as the labor
dispute closed Canada Road,
a township road leading to
the industrial park.
Elsewhere in the
Development Committee
report, it was recommended
that Mr. Joe Gibson of R.R, 2
Seaforth be appointed
Assistant Weed Inspector at
$4 per hour for the balance of
1978 and the necessary by
law be passed. This
recommendation was ac
cepted by council.

Sidewalk sale to proceed
Exeter’s sidewalk sale will
proceed on the dates
originally planned, although
some of the events and
nature of the promotion of
the downtown businessmen
will be altered.
Two weeks,, ago, council notified the ^businessmen
that the dates of July 21 and
22 would not be satisfactory
because no detour routes
could be provided due to
reconstruction on several
side streets. It was
suggested the event be
delayed.
However, businessman
Bob Swartman told council
this week that the group
would like to proceed on the
original dates, stating that a
delay would be un
satisfactory.
He suggested that the sale
could be held with Main St.

a review of the statutes was
something Riddell had re
quested.
Bullbrook told the com
mittee last week that if its
interpretation of the law
was such that the rights of
ordinary citizens would be
abrogated, then the MPPs
should recommend a change
in the law.
“One advantage to the
whole sorry mess emanating
from the Fleck strike is it
has brought to the
legislature’s attention the
need to contemporize some
of its rules,” Bullbrook said.
He said the committee
decision “doesn’t necessari
ly mean anything to the two
actions (brought by the
UAW).” He said “the courts
aren’t necessarily bound by
the decision of the com
mittee.”
The vote of the committee
didn’t break entirely down
party lines. Conservative
member Norm Sterling
(Carleton-Grenville) voted
with NDP members Donald
MacDonald (York South)
and Tony Grande
(Oakwood) against the ma
jority.
Voting in favor of the
Liberal motion that there
was a breach were Michael

Reeve Si Simmons was
given the flag by MP Bob
McKinley, who passed them
out to all municipal
representatives at Friday’s
session of county council.
Simmons said he couldn’t
find a flag pole that needed a
flag.
“If you can find a place,
you’re encouraged to fly it,”
Mayor Bruce Shaw told him.
Councillor Harold Pat

have been placed on the

said he had received some
