MOH gives Huron county council
summary of controversial Mustard Repor
Isaac Newton would have had a
tough time finding a suitable
apple tree under which to sit in at
least one orchard in Ottawa..
Bearing in mind the story about
the big, red and rosy apple
landing on his head and the law of
gravity, he might only have found
little, shrivelled-up specimens of
the fruit.
He may not even have felt a
tiny apple hit him.
But if Sir Isaac had looked .a
little more closely in the five-acre
orchard at Agriculture Canada's
Central Experimental Farm here,
he would have found some fine
there.
“If • the report
is implemented," warned Mr.
Berry, "we will be looking to
larger hospitals."
He asked county councillors to
"stand up for Huron County and
its hospitals".
Ed Oddlicfson, Reeve of
Bayfield, also voiced concern that
if the criteria set out in the
Mustard Report was adopted,
there could be a "reduction of.
supported medical centres from
five to three".
"If there is any reduction in
grants to any particular hospital,
we should . object very
strenuously," said Mr, Oddleif-
son. "We should .be very,, very
militant about it."
He said in his opinion, Huron
had an excellent medical setup for
a rural county and noted that five
hospitals were adequate and
serving a need here.
The planning board was given
• apples hanging from limbs arched
by their weight.
Many of the trees in the
orchard arc McIntosh--producers
of a juicy red apple which usually
:outnumbers others on super-
miirket shelves. But the
McIntosh fruit in this orchard arc
shrivelled and covered with ugly
marks -- victims of scab disease.
EVen leaves arc affected.
"In a word,. the' apples are
unmarketable," says L. H. Lyall,
assistant director of Agriculture
• Canada's Research Station here.
None of the usual spraying of
fungicide against the disease has
permission to engage another
planner for the year 1975. This
additional personnel would assist
the present staff to expedite
zoning bylaws •at the local' level.
James Mair of Morris,
chairman of the planning board,
told council that the further the
county goes with planning„ the
greater the need for secondary
plans and zoning bylaws.
"Some of the problems we've
encountered might have been
handled easier if we'd had more
zoning bylaws in the county,"
said Mr. Mair.
He termed it "regrettable"
that the planning budget would
have to be considerably increased
to meet the salary of an additional
staffer. It was estimated that an
additional $18,000 would have to
go into the budget to finance the
extra expense.
Stan Profit, deputy-reeve of
Goderich, asked why
municipalities don't hire their
been carried out since the orchard
was established 10 years ago.
The scab has been allowed to
take its course, causing infected
apples small in size and quantity.
In the midst of the diseased
trees are some with a tag
numbered 0-532.
And their apples are healthy
and plentiful.
These trees are the product of
years of research by Dr. L.P.S.
Spangelo at Agriculture Canada's
Research' Station here. The
research now is being continued
by the department's research
stations at St. Jean, Quebec, and
own planning consultants if the
need for secondary plans is so
great.
He was, told it was costlier for a
municipality to engage their own
planning staff. It was also pointed
out that it had been agreed that
the county would provide the
planning staff to assist the
municipalities to ensure a total
planning concept for Huron.
"Possibly we need a little more
overall planning," said Mr. Mair.
It was noted that some of the
greatest planning problems arise
"where' town and township
meet."
In other business, it was
learned a new library van has
been ordered from Jim Hayter
Chev-Olds Limited of Goderich in
the amount of $3,691.50; that the
official, opening of the
Huron-Perth Regional'
Assessment Office is set for
November 14 at 3:30 p.m.; and
that the Association for Rural
Smithfield; Ontario.
The aim of the research was to
develop new apple varieties resis-
tant to scab disease -- the scourge
of both commercial producers and
home gardeners.
The new variety -- named
Macfee -- has already proven
itself at Ottawa.
The trees at the experimental
farm are free of the disease, while
trees in orchards in some parts of
Ontario and Quebec are sprayed
at least a dozen times each
summer and some incidence of
the disease still ,persists.
Municipalities of Ontario is
keenly interested in increased
membership for the corning year
A large crowd attended

A summary of the controversial
Mustard Report was prepared by
Dr. Frank Mills, Huron County
Medical Officer of Health, and
presented to each member of
county council at the regular
monthly meeting Friday, October
25 in. Goderich.
"I think it is an excellent
summary of the report and I urge
each member of council to read it
carefully so you will be fully
aware of the possible implications .
involved if this report should ever
' be adOpted by the provincial
government," Clerk-treasurer
John Berry told council.
He also predicted it will be
"difficult to get financing for
capital expenditures" at the five
county hospitals from now on.
Mr. Berry gave as an example
the "long and tedious" effort by
the board at Alexandra Marine
and General Hospital in Goderich
to obtain permission to build
additional emergency facilities
