NEWS By G. Austin Lorne Luther of Ashfield and Lloyd Willert of Dashwood present- ed a brief to the Huron County Development Committee in Goder- ich on March 11, Friday. "On behalf of the National Farmers Union in Huron County, we appreciate the opportunity of expressing our concerns' in three areas - Land Use, Hydro and Health Care". "We wish to congratulate the County and the Planning Board for the effort made to get an official plan working. As the townships in Huron County adopt . secondary plans, zoning by-laws will be incorporated into the plans. A plan is only as good as its zoning by-laws". "Huron . County being 89% Class 1 and 2 agriculture land, we expect agriculture will he the predominate industry in the county, taking precedence over other purposes using prime agriculture land. We hope it is the Development Committee's intention to retain the present type of rural community we have in the county, and to create a climate that will allow the family farmer to. remain in control of our agricultural land base. If this is our goal, then zoning our prime agricultural land is not enough. Rules have to be written into the zoning by-laws to accomplish this". The points given in the brief were similar to those presented to the Ashfield Township Council as' reported previously. The brief continues:- " We seriously question the advisability or necessity for land developers to own land for the purpose of urban, industrial or recreational development. We believe that such development should be publicity planned and that the public should acquire land for future use for such purposes". The role of private developers would then be to contract to make necessary improvements to such land. Experience has demonstrated that allowing private developers to acquire and own land leads to speculation in land for the purpose of capital gains, irrational land use and poorly planned communities". We detect a reluctance on the part of municipal politicians to show any real leadership when it comes to having the above points incorporated into our zoning by- laws. We feel that a toothless by-law will, in the future, regulate the family farmer, at best, to a manager of an agricultural unit - or at worst to a hired man, and the charmed circle of ownership will be lost to the future generations of the present owners in our country". "If the farmer is to give up some of his speculative rights in order to keep a reasonable food resource base to grow the nation's food, Winfario Aids . Huron Projects A Huron County arena is among those receiving special Wintario help to .correct unsafe conditions. Culture and Recreation Minister Robert Welch said a grant up to $230,774 is to go to the Goderich Community Centre and Recreation Board. It is among six projects announced in Huron County today which.have been approved from the proceeds of the Ontario Lottery. The grants total $256,241 with amounts ranging from $230, 774 to $188. The grant up to $230,774 will be made to the Goderich Community Centre and Recreation Board to assist in the costs of renovations to the arena including the replace- ment of the roof as required by the Mitustry of T The Exeter and District Heritage Foundation is to receive a grant up to $19, 730 towards the costs of restoring the historic Exeter Towns Hall. A grant of $5,000 is to be made to the Jubilee '3' committee in Goderich to assist in the costs of organizing and- planning ,the 150th anniversary ,of the town of Goder- ich . The Blue Water Rest Home in Zurich, Ontario will receive a grant of $450 to assist in the purchase of a pool table and shuffleboard. A grant of $279 will be made to the Wingham Minor Hockey Assoc- iation to aid in the purchase of hockey equipment. The Lake Huron Zone Recreation Association in Goderich is to receive a grant of $188 to aid in the purchase of a slide projector and a program recorder. then our senior levels of govern- ment must develop and. legislate a realistic-stabilizati&iplan based on the cost of production including a fair return for labour and invest- ment". "Realistic stabilization must go along with zoning and township councils, the county council and the farmers themselves must inform both the provincial and the federal governments that only with stabil- ization will zoning Huron County agriculture be acceptable. For too long our nation's farmers have had to carry the cost of a cheap food policy while everyone else involved in the food industry makes a profit once food leaves the farm gate". St. Patrick's Day Variety Concert On March 17. at Goderich District High School, the Pro Life Group held their second annual Variety Night. Seamus Doherty, M.C. introduc- ed the program and said it was suitable that the Pro Life Group, which stands for the dignity of human life, should hold a Variety Night on St. Patrick's Day.
