The plan will give the county planning board and county council an administration set up to di- rect and oversee the future .de- velopment of Huron County. The plan sets up an overall outline of planning fOr the whele county but leaves it up to the local municipalities to set up area plans that will cOmplinient and follow the county guidelines. Of late approval fot the plan has been 'held up becauSe of wording problems and on argu - ments that the plan was too rigid in certain areas. Policies in connection with mobile homes were pointed to most specifically in the latter case. Many rural municipalities felt that restriction On mobile home8 would be too binding on areas where the pepulation was small and scattered. As .a result the plan was amended to allow the local areas to set up their own. provisions in dealing with mobile homes.

March will go out like a Lion and we will have a long, cold, dreary spring". Don't believe it! we are long I overdue for a mild winter, a glorious spring and a delightful, warm summer, in spite of the Chase Almanac warnings of cold and storms. Dont' be a pessi- mist! Be an optomist! * * * * * * The income tax forms, which have. become a necessary nui- sance to all of us, are causing some senior citizens undue con- cern. Many of those receiving supplementary pension have never, until now ,had to wrestle with the intricate things, and it frightens them. Some, unable to cope with them for one reason or another, must have them done by competent per- sons. This, along with the fee to be paid, disturbs them. How- ever, somehow, they must be filled out in order to get the . residential, rebate. * * * * * * There was a rush of last .minute applications for 1973 license plates at the local Motor Vehicle Office issuing here. At least a hundred people had put it off right up to the deadline Brussels skaters successful Local girls participating in the figure skating competitions that began at 9:00 a.m. on Sun.

Although the girls were not in the top three they did make a very good showing. Michelle and Joan also tried out in the Jr. Dances doing the "willow" and the "Fiesta" as a couple. Here too the girls held their own.

Those Morning Star Rebekahs have a reputation for serving delicious desserts. Then there is the euchre party to enjoy. Who knows you might be a prize winner. * * * * * * While Canadian flags broke out at Bratislava, Czechoslov- akia, thousands of Canadian hearts swelled with pride and jubilation as Karen Magnusseh, our magnificent figure skater from North Vancouver, won the title at the World Figure Skating Championships. All Canadians should be justly proud of her attainment of the peak for which she has strived so hard. Other Canadians, while not awarded medals, did well, particularly 16-year-old Lynn Nightingale of Ottawa, who, in her first appear- ance World-Class skating gave an impressive performance with a sensational fourth-place finish. This and standings of other Can- adian competitors give shining hope for brilliant future achieve- ments. Let us hope, they get the • encouragement and help they need to develop their potential. • * * * * * Why are there so many Canadians so violent in their opposition to the Olympics being held in Canada: Could it spring from the location of the games - montreal2 Is it anti-French Canadian prejudice raising its ugly head again? It is time our Canadian athletes are given greater recognition and facili- ties in which to develop their talents. With the Olympics .held in Canada there will be facili- ties made available that will be of lasting benefit to their train- ing programs, giving them, the chance they deserve in il...ter- national competition.

The land division policy in the plan had also caused some controversy and was passed after amendments provided for local amendments to the basic guide- line. This outline states that rural development will only be per- mitted if the rural nature and characteristics of the agricul- tural area can be preserved. Final approval of the plan is still outstanding as it must go to the ministry of treasury,econ- ornics and intergovernmental af- fairs for the final approval. it is • expected this final step will take about one month.
