put a brief into the trail commission when
the commission was wanting to set up trails
across farmland.
She told council that the Ontario
government and the Ministry of Agriculture
are hardly taking any steps on agriculture
without asking the advice of the Federation
! and they are also sending proposed farm
legislation over to them. She pointed out that
some of the legislation had been passed
as a result of Federation pressure.
Ms. Brown asked the council to reconsider
last year's decision on dropping their grant
from $500 to $400 but later in the meeting
council decided to stick with the $400 figure.
Council also awarded a tender for pit run
gravel to Radford Construction of Blyth who
tendered 30,000 yards at 59 cents per yard.
Ot her bidders included Lloyd Jacklin at 80
cents, Joe Kerr of Wingham at 69 cents,
Farrish Construction at 83 cents, Adams
Construction at 77 cents and Donnegan's of
Listowel at 69 cents.
Council was also asked by Ross Anderson
a representative on the Brandon Cemetery
Board in Belgrave for a donation so the
Board could pay for approximately two more
acres they had bought for plots. Council
decided to wait and see what other cemetery
boards receive.

mineral rights.
Local man talks to
Belgium by CB
THE BRUSSELS POST, MAY 2, 1979 — 9
Huron County council has given Shell
Canada Resources Ltd. the right to lease
mineral rights to 1,186.948 acres in the
country.
David Johnson, a spokesman from the
company, approached county council a
month ago to request mineral rights to allow
exploratory drilling around the county.
The site the company is most interested in
is an unnamed four-acres site on the Lake
Huron shoreline, north of Goderich.
Although this land is privately owned, the
company wanted the mineral rights to
county property adjacent to the land before
beginning exploratory drilling.
Under the 10 year lease agreement with
Shell Canada, the county will receive an
annual payment of $1 an acre.
The land being leased by the company is
in the townships of East Wawanosh, West
Wawanosh, Hay, Stanley, Ashfield,
Colborne and Goderich.
If the company strikes oil, the county will
receive a 12.b per cent share of the revenue
and between three and 12.5 per cent of any
profits from natural gas discoveries.
The ministry of natural resources must
also give their approval for the drilling since
provincial funds were used to buy some of
the county lands in question.
When Shell Canada originally approached
council three years, the council turned the
compnay down saying it didn't want to get
involved.
Shell Canada isn't expecting to find a
major oil discovery in the county although
Huron is part ofthe Michigan basin which
has produced oil deposits both in Michigan
and Lambton County.
At least one of the French-speaking
interpreters who will cooperate by trans-
lating at the reception being held for the
Belgian visitors who will be visiting Brussels
this week has been in recent contact with
Brussels, Belgium.
Rene Delberque of RR 3, Auburn, who
operates a CB radio used to be a resident of
Belgium where he lived in the city of Tournai
about 95 kilometres from Brussels.
Brussels, Ontario is not unfamiliar to Mr.
Delberque either. When his family
emigrated to Canada in 1948, he, his father
and another man bought a farm near Walton
on the 16th concession of Grey Township
where the families stayed until 1958.
Mr. Delberque has been operating his CB
for about a year now. He said it was one
morning when he was listening to the other
stations coming through that he heard the
station from Belgium coming in.
He has talked to two stations in Brussels,
Belgium and he's told them that Brussels,
Ontario is just a small town.
But so far he hasn't had a chance to talk to
them to see if they know the two radio
reporters who are coming to Brussels,
Ontario. One unusual thing is that anybody
Mr. Delberque has contacted on his radio
can speak English.
Although Brussels, Ontario is much
smaller than Brussels, Belgium, Mr.
.Delberque doesn't think the radio reporters
will be surprised because he said Belgium
has many small villages and towns similar to
Brussels in Huron.
Mr. Delberque is hoping to do a tape for
relatives in Belgium that the radio reporters
can take back with them. He also plans to
ask them why the CB is licenced in Canada
but not in Belgium where anyone using the
CB is considered a pirate.
So it's a sure thing that at least one of the
interpreters at Wednesday night's reception
will have some interesting questions to ask
the guests.
