"We were led to believe in Toronto," said Mr, Procter, "it was mandatory we should set up an ARRA committee. Some people have the idea there might be overlapping., but 1 believe under the ARDA com- mittee we bring the variousor- ganizations together under one head, and then they can study the needs of Huron County, not only from the rural standpoint but the standpoint of villages and towns." Mr. Miles admitted that he was not 100% sold on ARDA and what it can do, but had <<ept an open mind, WATER PROBLEM "Like the rest of you," he said, "I am unfamiliar with it, but I do not know that we as citizens can afford to sit by and nor prepare ourselves for even- tualities. This is going to be like farm safety, emergency measures and other things we are doing for the betterment of the county. At the moment, water is probably one of our prime requisites. We have run out of application forms for farm ponds. Legislation has come in offering farm people up to $500 for farm ponds, and I don't just know how we are going to handle the situation, we have so many requests.' It may be that the shallow well in Huron is out, t was on a farm where they are on their third drilling and cannot seem to find a well that will give them the requirements. COMMUNITY PASTURES "From press reports, many people associate ARDA with community pastures. We dis- cussed this with the agricultural committee some time ago, and we cannot sec at the moment an area of sufficient size that Huron might participate in a community pasture program. We have lots of individual farms, but not in a group of 1, 000 or 2, 000 acres that would mai<e it worth while to buy at a reasonable price. In other words, we think pastures in Huron are still a private enter- prise. The Dominion and On- tario departments of agricul- ture, or county council, do not feel that private enterprise should be tai<en away in any re- spect, There have been three or four areas suggested in Huron, but when we have looked into it we think private enterprises can better serve the commun- ity than ARDA. "There are four heads under which ARDA can work: (1)pro- jects for alternative uses of land; (2) protects for soil and water conservation; (3) rural development projects, to de- velop domestic resources and create employment opportuni- ties; (4) a wide range of re- search, particularly social re- search. "Someone made a state- ment a while agto that by 1975 we may change from 121, 000 farmers down to .15, 000 in On- tario. This is how fast this agricultural program is moving. We should have a group that can assist and he a go-between with province and Dominion in any problems that might affect Huron, whether human or eco- nomic. If this area wants some money under ai.DA, the county council would be involved to a certain extent also 25% locally. While we may not visualize the intended wore<ines of ARDA -- because I cannot -- we have an open mind. and foresight that a committee should be es- tablished." Murray Gaunt, member for Huron -Bruce, was invited by the warden to address council. He said that ARDA, as set up in initial stages, did not involve the local people enough. "We are trying to involve lo- cal people," he said, "and in any of these projects work with the local people, which is the proper procedure. In a number of cases people are told they cannot make a living in a cer- tain way or place. ARDA in its original concept can go a long way in rural development and redevelopment, but it does mean an organization." Egg Marketing Vote In Wingham June 23 The egg producers of Huron County, as announced earlier in this paper, go to the polls June 22 to 26 inclusive to det- ermine whether the proposed Egg and Fowl Producers Market- ing Plan will be adopted by the Ontario Farm Products Mar- keting Board, a division of the Ontario Department of Ag- riculture.
