Absent when the vote was taken were Cal Horton and Harold Lobb. Mrs. Helen Jermyn, deputy- -reeve of Exeter,. claimed she was very impressed by a pre- sentation earlier in the day by Prof. John Horton of Kitchener. She said it was a "Very cru- cial time" for Huron County and said she "feared that by pulling out now, we may be stepping backward". She ,urged county council to join MDC for 1973, to give the council additional support and to help them "put more pressure on Toronto". Jack McCutcheon echoed her sentiments. "Who goes to court these days without a defence lawyer?" asked McCutcheon. He said that Huron has spent a great deal of money in MDC over the past few, years and would be "throwing that money away" if it didn't support MDC now and let the council speak for.

Mrs. Joan Van den Boe.ck, Goderich, and Garry Fisher, Kay Dustow, Barb Blake and Reinhard Voelmle, all of GDCI, presented petitions to council. In total, the petitions represented 820 persons in Huron County...with ESTABLISHED 1872 to MCD what the county wanted for the future of Huron. He said that if Huron didn't support MDC in 1973, it might as well "kick in the sponge and say, well provincial government, you do, whatever you want with us." Girvin Reed warned council that while membership in MDC for 1973 would cost$9,300, coun- cil could well "pay more than 9300 bucks if you lose Walter Gowing and John Horton as spokesmen for the county of Huron". Ed. Oddleifson, a member of MDC last year, said that "MDC is a vehicle which we require for a continued channel through which we can express our own autonomy to the government re- gardless of whether the govern,„ ment supports them by a grantor not". Oddleifson said Huron should continue in MDC until the govern- , ment comes down with a plan the county can support. "If we don't agree, MDC, is the vehicle to express our disa- greement," said Oddleifson. "I implore you not to throw MDC out the window until the' govern- ment has proven it has something better." Ken McMichael, chairman of the development committee of county council, said that' in his opinion there was too much over- lapping. He said that the De- velopment Officer Spence Cum- mings and MDC were. doing too many of essentially the same things. Charles Thomas didn't agree. He said that M.DC had become a "pressure group" whereas the county's development' office was dedicated to tourist and indus- trial development in ,the county. "It is important to speak to overnment in the strongest pos sible voice," said Thomas."In- stead of speaking as Huron, we. should be speaking together with our neighboring counties. It carries a little More weight. The money has already been spent and the program has been de- veloped. The channels within (continued on Page 8)
