ties would be urged to develop

Finally, the report recommend-
ed that an equitable system for
cost sharing and decision making
among sharing municipalities be
developed. It was requested that
Huron County rely heavily on the
lay and professional resources
that already exist in the county
and the provincial Ministry of
Culture and Recreation to develop
a system.
The 42-page report, the. impe-
tus for which originated from a
resolution passed by the Town of
Clinton and forwarded to Huron
County Council in January 1974,
was the result of the collection of
much data, including an attitude
inventory. In all, 150 question-
aires were distributed to elected
officials and municipal recreation.
people, Mr. McKinlay said that
69 questionaires were completed
and returned. He called that a
'grand response".
Costs Vary
The study revealed that recrea-
tion costs per capita in the various
municipalities vary all the way
front a high of $54425 per capita in
the village of Zurich to 21 cents
per head in Stanley Township.
The towns pay an average of
$25.66 per capita; the villages,
$27.52 and the townships, $2.74.
Total cost of recreation across
the county was $665,434.03. With
a population here of 53,493, that
means that the cost per capita in
the county for recreation was
312,43.
Another interesting set • of
figures in the report showed that
of 53,493 persons in the county,
15,558 are under 15 years of age;
11,646 are between 16 and 35
Years of age; 13,319 are between
36 and 60; 8,819 are over 61; and
the age of 1,151 persons in Huron
County is unknown.
Council Reaction

Township said that while costs do Jook out of proportion, arenas in

Reeve Ginn went on. He said now
that most municipalities have
their own recreation committees,
it is a natural stepping stone to
the kind of proposals contained in
the report.
Reeve Ginn said there is a need
for an overall planning board for
recreation in Huron County to
'ensure that some facilities are
located in the town and some in
the rural municipalities; and to.
ensure that all possible recrea-
tional facilities throughout the
county are being utilized.
Reeve Ginn further recom-
mended That .the "restructuring

previously charged with the res-
ponsibility of studying the co-
ordination of such services as
recreation, police and fire protec-
tion and garbage disposal, itucly
the report with an eye to forming
District Recreation Boards and a
County Recreation Advisory
Board.
Better Community
Jack McCutcheon, Reeve of
Brussels, said that recreation
makes for a better community. He
echoed Reeve Ginn's sentiments
that overall co-ordination in the
county is necessary /because
municipalities, by them selves,
are just too small to support
facilities once they are establish.
ed.
"We should look to establish
facilities where they will benefit
the most people," Reeve
McCutcheon stated.
Hullett Reeve John Jewitt said
he was opposed to financing
recreation by taxing property.
"And I'm afraid that's what this
report will lead us to," he said.
'How much should come from
the taxpayers' pockets and how
much should be paid by the
users?" asked Jim Mair, Morris
Township Deputy-reeve.
Reeve Warren (Linn of Ashfield
Township urged township coun-
cils to study'the report and look at
the facts and figures. •
"It should be a great help,"
Said Reeve Zinn.
New Motion
Later in the niOrning, Reeve
Gerry Ginn formally presented a
motion that the recreation study
go to the restructuring committee
for further recommendation.
"This is something that involv-
ed more that conimunity",
Saki Reeve Ginn, "and I thing the
restructuring committee could

At this point, Warden Anson

Thanksgiving has come and
gone. How many of us paused
long enough to count our
blessings and give thanks. In
spite of the chaotic state of the
world, the troubles Canada is
undergoing, and the personal
problems that all individuals have
to cope with, we still have much
to be thankful for. Good health is
beyond price. Too many of us do
not,,appreciate it until it is gone.
A happy home life where parents
and children share loving
understanding; grown sons and
daughters, who, with their
families, find the time to share
their lives with their parents;
grandchildren can be a delight,

beautiful things pr nature, with
which we are so richly endowed,

things are only a few for which we

which so many strive, can make
life easier for us but they cannot
bring us true happiness.

that meeting still hasn't come
before council as a whole for

Reeve Zinn, chairman of the
development committee, favored
sending the recreation report to

was his contention that the

have more time to devote to this

However, the motion was lost.

Reeve Zinn then said that the
