Reeve Morley.
"I don't believe that," said
Reeve John Jewitt of Hullett. "I
think it is a genuine concern. This
report is based on assessment,
not population at all. It is just out
of line. I wonder why they've
`•'—chosen taht method."
"We should be looking beyond
our township boundaries," stated
Reeve Jewitt. "It would be an
awful headache but it might be
worth the effort."
Reeve Simon Hallahan agreed.
The East Wawanosh reeve said
he was sastisfied to see his
municipality together with Blyth
and Morris Township, but•
suggested that school board
members might be elected
according to districts, rather than
boundaries.
Deputy-reeve Jim Mair of
Morris said he could understand
some of the dissastisfaction. He
said Brussels, Morris and Grey
had always been "a sort of
community",
"But the new way may suit as
many of them as the old way," he
said.
The entire matter was referred
back to committee with a decision
to be reached at the June session
of county council.

Debate reducing
(Continued from Page 1)
work done faster now, to see if it
could actually be accomplished.
Reeve John Flannery of
Seaforth said his council thought
mayors from the five towns
should sit on county council
instead of the reeves.
Goderich Reeve Stan Profit said
that when extra deputy-reeves
were added at the beginning of
1975, council did not become
more efficient in his view..
"If we are no more efficient
with more," reasoned Reeve
Profit, "then it just naturally
follows we will be no less efficient
with less members."
Reeve Simon Hallahan of East
Wawanosh said simply, "For
God's sake, leave us alone."
Deputy-
reeve Ralph McNichol of
McKillop felt it was a "real good
thing" for a deputy-reeve to have
a few years experience at county
council before stepping up.
"Large numbers can be time
consuming," said Reeve Fred
Haberer of Zurich. ' "Today has
proved it."
He did add that if municipalities
were represented by only one
memb er in the future, provision
should be made for alternate
representation in the event that
some reeve became ill or was
otherwise absent for a long period
of time. This happened a few
years ago at Lambton County
when the reeve of Grand Bend
pamphlet
cntic¢ed
A "lure brochure" put out by
the Southwestern Ontario Travel
Association (SWOTA) to promote
"Huron - The Sun 'n Surf County
of Southwestern Ontario" for
distribution in the United States,
Europe and other parts of Canada
was severely criticized by
Deputy-Reeve Frank Cook of
Clinton at Thursday's session of
Huron county Council as being
"heavily Goderich".
Reeve Cook, a member of the
county development committee,
was perturbed that he hadn't
been allowed to speak before W.
Morgan, manager of SWOTA
who attended the session to
review the activities of ,the
organization. Reeve Cook
pointed out . that while the
committee in its report had asked
for council's endorsation to pay a
grant of $3,150 toward SWOTA
for 1976, it had also
recommended that the county's
participation in SWOTA in 1977
be reviewed.
"All I can see in it is
Goderich," sated Reeve Cook,
holding aloft a copy of the colorful
brochure. "I don't believe in
paying tax dollars to Goderich."
The 12-page booklet had 21
pictures in it According to Cook,
six or seven of them depicted
Goderich scenes.
"Whk's wrong with some on
Of the inland places?" asked
Reeve Allan Campbell, reeve of
McKillop.
"Why don't you read it?"
asked Reeve Ed. Oddleifson who
pointed out the names of several
H uron County attractions not in
Goderich. "I think we're being
rather hard on the people who put
out this brochure, just because
the pictures perhaps don't give
the widest view of the county."
County development officer
Spence Cuminings pointed out
this was a "lure brochure"
designed to get people to Huron.
Once they arrived here many
other, more complete brochures
of things to do in. Huron, places to
eat, places to sleep, etc. were
available at many locations
throughout Huron. It was pointed
out there were also booklets
listing industrial and commercial
sites for persons who might be
interested.
