Huron council clears
official plan for county
102nd Year — Issue No. 10 Wednesday, March 7, .1973
The official Huron County
Plan, which has been under de-
velopment since 1969, was fin-
ally given approval by the county
councillors at the February
meeting on Friday.
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.

homes.

will pay for this. March will

have a long, cold, dreary spring".

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.

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.
