"We're not getting our Value," complained Bob Lyons. "There's no proof they're going to get for us what we're asking for." "It's one great big waste of money," said Derry Boyle. "In no way is MDC going to influence the government. I think some people are a little afra3 i of los- ing their jobs." "Some of our ideas are get- ting through to the government," said. Thomas. "Yes they are," echoed Cd- dleifson. "I'm wondering what in- fluence 50,000 people will have on the provincial government," stated Gerry Glen. "I think we should show the provincial gov- ernment we can get along with our neighbors. We should sell our ideas to them and then pre- sent them together as a unit," Deb Shewflet said, "MDC will not carry the weight. I see the handwriting on the wall. Gentlemen, regional government is coming. It is a new ball- game. We must deal more directly with the province." "It hasn't, been done," said Bill Elston. "I don't know whether it can be done." Earlier in the day, Profes- sor John Horton along with MDC Director Walter Gowing and Jim Hayter, past president of MDC, made a presentation to county council. At that time, Profes- sor Horton urged county council. to give serious consideration to rejoining MDC for another year at least. Professor Horton referred to five new "huge super regions" in the province in which Huron is lumped in with London,Sarnia. and Windsor. "I'm afraid the power is in the urban centres," said Horton. "It bothers me that change is coming so fast. I'm not opposed to regional government. I'm opposed to the way it is being done. I'm not convinced that the provincial government is sincere about citizen involve- ment. Only lip-service is given' to citizen communication." "Do you really think you can go it alone?" asked Horton. "The development council won't last forever but it must be main- tained to provide a vehicle to the government. You need the de- velopment council more desper- ately now than ever before. Who knows what the next 12 Months will bring?" It has been estimated that less than one-half of one percent of the people in Ontario know any- thing about regional government. "But it is one of the major concerns of the provincial government," said Professor Horton. Walter Gowing said that elec- ted officials aren't fully aware of what they want, but so far they haven't been able to agree with the senior levels of government in Ontario about what is proposed. "We're living in a time. that is growing short," said Jim Hayter. "Today more than ever we should voice our wants •and needs and make sure we've been heard. We have to look beyond our own boundaries, at least until we See what this new planning area will bring to us." The warning of the MDC re presentatives was clear. "Regional government is here to stay," said Gowing. "Many municipalities Will simply disa- ppear. You Must decide or people on Bay Street will do it for you." BUTTON BARBS (Continued from.

GENERAL The Huron County tax review committee has been reactivated but the makeup of the member- ship is in doubt. • A recommendation came to Huron County Council last Friday from the executive committee suggesting the following ap- pointees: Charles Thomas,. chairman; Gerry Ginn, Cecil Desjarine, Joseph Kerr, •Frank' Cook, Anson McKinley as members; and Roy V. Pattison, Warden, as an ex.officio member. Short Shots (Continued from Page 1) plenty of snow with stormy weather is still in store for us. What a contrast it was to the same period two years ago! It was exactly two years ago January 25th the severe storm hit this area, practically paralyzing this community for days. At that time thoughtful snowmo- bilers came to the rescue of the sick, shut-ins and the elderly who were not able to' cope with storm conditions, and saw to it that food and other necessi- ties were delivered to their doors. Not all operators of snow- mobilers are inconsiderate of others and their services at that time were indeed appreciated. * * * * * * Each year the Brusxels Fire- men conduct a campaign to aid the fight against Muscular Dystrophy.

Make your donation as generous as possible to strengthen the fight and give added hope to those youngsters who desperately need so much expensive help in order to live. * * * * * However, some, concern was felt that the rural areas were getting too much representation on the committee as only two, urban members were included on the list. The matter will be reviewed once more by the com- mittee to adjust committee mem- bership. The year-end report, of the Social Services Committee showed that 14 municipalities in Huron County spent less on welfare in 1972 under the county welfare scheme inaugurated last January. These municipalities exe Howick, Hullet, Stanley, Stephen, Tuckersrnith, Turnberry, Us- borne, East Wawano'sh, Exeter, Seaforth, vvingham, Brussels, Hensel]. and Zurdch. Total expenditures for wel-, fare assistance' in Huron for 1972 was $231,546.46. In 1971 it was $289,829.05. I SUNDAY'SASERMON) THE PROVIDER God is the provider and crea- tor. In our modern, technologi- cal society this is sometimes hard for people to realize. We run around worrying about stocks and bonds, share• of markets, interest, loans, Big Business, profits, supply and demand, con- sumer spending, the wholesale price index, and whether or not we'll get a bonus next year at the office. Homemakers worry about the price of lettuce, the installment payments on the re- frigerator, the children's teeth, the rug that would just look per- fect in that room, and what shoes to get with that new dress. How far we have gotten away from the God who made us, the God who' loves us! We in our comfortable homes don't call on Him as often as we should. we think of the super- market as our source of food, our jobs as the source of money for shelter and clothing, but we must realize that God is the source of everything, as He was in the past, is now and will be forever. And we must live our lives accordingly. corn feed was readily accepted by the ,pigs. However, results indicated there was no benefit from the non-protein nitrogen when measured in terms of feed efficiency, age to reach market weight, and average daily gain. Pigs fed the low-protein ration and the test ration performed similarly. Both groups were in- ferior to pigs receiving the high- protein feed. A posaible explanation could be a deficiency of some essen- tial amino acids in the Neter perforniance rail one. Pigs in the inferior groups required An extra 10 days to athietie market weight. Studies Will be Under , taken adding some essential. Arnie° acids to this type of feed.
