Residents of Tuckersmith
Township were given an op-
portunity to voice their opi-
nions on several issues and
meet the candidates in the up-
coming 'Municipal elections
on November 8, .at a
ratepayers' meeting Monday.
Amon the'ecmcerns voiced at
the meeting, was the
Vanastra Recreation Centre
projected operating deficit,
land severance and gravel
pits.
The ratepayers fielded
several questions on a neW
township severance policy
now presently being studied.
The new policy is part of a
secondary plan designed to
map out the future land use in
Tuckersmith farms and ur-
ban areas. From candidates
running in this yeat's elec-
tion, there is overwhelming
support for limited
severance, although the issue
will have to be considered by
the new council.
"We (the council) will have
to gather all the information
and weigh the advantages
and disadvantages keeping in
mind the future of the
township," reeve Robert Bell
told the meeting.

Challenger for the position
of reeve, former Seaforth
reeve and Tuckersmith resi-
dent John Flannery told the
ratepayers he feels that
severance should be available
to those who want it and can
afford it.

Councillor Robert Broad -

he was under the assumption
that a severed lot in an
agricultural area has the
same rights as a lot in a
hamlet. Other members voic-

township. Councillor John
Brownridge told ratepayers
that the new council will have
to consider all the facts and
listen to the pros and cons
before deciding on a sever-
ance policy for Tuckersmith.
Robert Fotheringham, a
nominee for councillor ex-
pressed his concern over the
operation of the Vanastra
Recreation Centre with its
projected operating deficit of
$40,000 for this year. '
"If elected 1 would look at
the staff and management at
the rec centre. They would
have to tighten the reins," he
said. '
Councillor Brownridge,
who is seeking re-election,
told the rateppyers that the
new council would have to
look at the priorities of
recreational activities in the
township and possibly give
some activities more time
than others.
Losing money
"This year the recreation
centre is doing much better,
although it is still losing
money," he said.
He also felt that the
previous council can justify
the large tax increase in
Tuckersmith because of ris-
ing interest rates and increas-
ed service and energy costs.
Mr. Brownridge told the
meeting that the township
should be looking at ways to
increase revenues and hold
tax increases down.
"The council should do
everything possible to create
a sense of belonging in the
township", he said. saying
several ratepayer, felt that
they were not getting their
fair share in community
activities.
Huron County Board of
Education trustee, F'rank
Falconer, responded to a
number of questions on the
ever increasing costs of
education in the county. He
told the meeting that the cost
increases are necessary- to en-
sure that there is proper
education for the approx-
imately 10,000 students enroll-
ed in the school system. He
also assured the group that
the money paid to him as a
trustee is well spent because
of he time he spends with
boa d work:.
"We will be fortunate if we
can cut next year's budget,"
he said.
Bill Brown, who is un-
challenged as deputy reeve,
said that he was thankful to
those who did not challenge
him in this year's election.
"It makes it a lot easier,"
he said.
Erwin Sillery, a former
member of council and
former reeve, said that he
decided to run for councillor
after discussing it with
several ratepayers in the
township. He said that he
would bring his 19 years of ex-
perience to the new council if
elected and do his best to
carry on.
Council hopeful
George Cantelon, another
council hopeful, told the
meeting that he would work to

s an incentive for Canadian home-
owners to use less oil, the Federal
Government has introduced the Canada
Oil Substitution Program.
C.O.S.P. will pay 50% of the cost of con-
version from oil heating to natural gas,
to a maximum grant of $800.
We think natural gas is
worth your serious considera-
tion, but not just because it's
our business at Union Gas.
' Consider:
Natural gas is still the most
economical way to heat your home, and
it looks as if it will remain so in the fore-
seeable future. •
Natural gas burns much cleaner than
oil, resulting in a cleaner home and mini-
mal furnace maintenance.
Natural gas is in abundant supply.
Conservative estimates of proven, market -
r e
able reserves in Canada are over 32 times
our annual national consumption, and
more gas is being found all the time.
Another benefit of natural gas is its
simple, reliable, weather-proof delivery
system; after leaving the well, it is stripped
of impurities, 'odorized, then
piped directly to your home.
We at Union Gas offer a
complete range of natural gas
home heating options, one
of which is sure to meet your
needs. Convert soon and
beat the November cold.
To arrange for an in-home appoint-
ment with Union Gas about the continued
comfort of your home, and to find out
how you can get up t'o $800
