Members of the com- munity are to be made aware council is developing a com- munity improvement plan at a public meeting. Mayor Bruce Shaw asked whether ONIP would apply if a municipality wanted to replace a deteriorating out- door pool with an indoor pool. Moy told him council could apply both for Wintario fun- ding and ONIP assistance in building the pool, with the town, WIntario and the pro- vincial government likely each assuming one-third of the costs. In outlining CAIP, which Moy said is still in its infancy the renewal officer said the town must again have an ap- proved official plan with policies relating to communi- ty involvement and must in- volve the public in drawing up this plan. Cancer can be beaten He said CAIP funding can be used to upgrade older com- mercial districts} by providing grants and ' loans for municipal services, parking, aesthetic improvements or to encourage conservation of buildings and areas of historic importance.. , Moy said again, CAIP ap- plies to improvements under- taken on municipal buildings only, but the aim of the pro- gram is to encourage in- dividual businessmen then to improve their own establishments. He said since this is only the second year of the CAIP pro- gram, applications for fun- ding are just being evaluated now. Moy told council there will likely be a workshop on the ONIP and CAIP programs for Huron County municipalities sometime this June, County planning staff will also attend the workshop to outline how they can assist municipalities in drawing up community im- provement policies. • Councillors approved a mo- tion authorizing county plan- ners to proceed with drafting some policies for the town's official town plan. Mayor Shaw asked coun- cillors to consider some 'pro- jects in residential areas of the town they could apply for under ONIP next year. We'll Do the Job � •?�a1- Right...

Chandu Lal and his wife Amrit included tour of Centralia College in their itinerary while visiting southwestern Ontario. Shown (from left) are Doug Jamieson, CCAT principal, Mrs. Lal, escort Rev. Kenneth Knight, Bishop Lal, CCAT vice-principal Dr. Viola Currie and Don Orth, Dean of Student Activities. North India Bishop visits area East met west for a mutual- ly helpful exchange of ideas when Rt. Rev. A. Chandu Lal, Bishop of Armritsar Diocese, Church of North India, and his wife Amrit paid a brief but informative visit to Centralia College of Agricultural Technology on March 22. Bishop Lal and his wife were accompanied to the College by Rev. Kenneth Knight, minister of Caven and Carmel charges and present Presbyterian moderator •of the Stratford -Huron Diocese, who was asked by an ad hoc committee of the South Huron ministerial arranging the Bishop's itinerary in this area to act as escort for the day. (Knight had visited India seven years ago). The three were welcomed in the CCAT boardroom by Principal Doug Jamieson, Vice Principal Dr. Vi Currie and Director of Student Af- fairs (and an ordained minister) Don Orth. After everyone had been served coffee or tea and some delec- table pastries baked in the College's kitchen, Jamieson gave a comprehensive sum- mary of CCAT's birth in 1967, its growth in students and courses, with special mention of the world-renowned animal health technology course which is the only one of its kind, and the small crop research program begun in 1975 which focuses on the locally important white bean and rutabaga crops. Kathy Biondi, head of Com- munication and Continuing Education, joined the group to list the variety of short courses now offered on 45 dif- ferent subjects, singling out the conference of rural women planning their fourth /annual assemblage, bringing farm wives together on campus for a session -packed weekend of learning and sharing. Jamieson told his guests Canada is beginning to discover some of the pro- blems associated with inten- sive agriculture. Citing the growing awareness of the need for soil and energy con- servation and care of the en- vironment, he said Westerners are just learning how to cope, and "maybe we can Learn from you." Lal explained that in India 75 percent of the people living on the great Northern Plain HEARING TESTS No "Obligation EXETER PHARMACY Thurs.

In his territory in the Punjab, 25 acres is the average farm size. India struggles to feed her 700 million population, and has little left over for export except some sugar, cotton and rice. Lal said the so-called green revolution which encouraged better management, more mechanization, good hybrid seed and extensive use of fer- tilizer, has Left more poverty in its wake in some sections. A new class of rural rich wielding political clout is generating a movement back to the feudal system, leaving landless labourers "high and dry". This social upheaval ac- counts for some of the in- cidents that make the headlines in North American papers. In comparison, Jamieson said in Canada one farmer feeds 85 others, who thus have freedom to pursue other careers. Only 25 percent of the population of this country work directly or indirectly in agriculture -related jobs. However, the past decade has seen more and more land in fewer hands here, too. Lal zeroed in on the basic difference in the two systems. It is one of attitude. The most vital daily activity for millions of people in India is finding enooigh food to keep them alive for another 24 hours, while here in a con- sumel:..materialistic society advertisers vie with each other to get Canadians to eat this or that product. "We think in terms of sur- vival", Lal said, adding he hopes to see a transformation in North American society to eliminate some of the waste he has observed.

MrMBER AMERICAN INSTETT )GEM SOCIETY JEWELLERS tt 1 ed by a brief tour of ARC In- dustries in Dashwood, and a late luncheon and talk to a gathering at Thames Road Church. These were the final stops on a busy trip through southwestern Ontario. As Bishop Lal's diocese is primarily rural, he had ex- pressed an interest in country parishes, native Indians, and adtilt learning and leadership programs. Besides CCAT and ARC, Bishop Lal had visited Indian reserves at Kettle Point, the Moravian Reserve and Brantford's Chapel of the Mohawks as well as speaking to interdenominational au- diences in Embro, Woodstock, Tillsonburg, Waterloo, Paris, Stratford, Kincardine, Owen Sound and Clinton. For Bishop Lal, in- terdenominationalism is the norm. The Church of North India was formed by a union of Anglican, United (Presbyterian Congrega- tional and Moravian), Bap- tist, Brethren, Methodist and Disciples of Christ denomina- tions in 1970. A large number of denominations would not be feasible in a country where only one percent of the population is Christian. Lal told his audiences he appreciated the monetary support his church receives from the west, but he would like more moral support, sharing and understanding. Station tenders Continued from front page pumps to replace one pump, setting up a standby power supply which is a diesel generator set, adding a new electrical panel and chemical feed system for phosphorus, removal. Potter told councillors this work should be completed by September, with construction likely to start in about two months, depending on the availability of equipment and delivery dates. Mickle told Potter that council really "doesn't need this kind of excitement" in finding higher -than -estimated costs. In response to the reeve's question, Potter read a letter from partner Steve Burns, who drew up the. original design plan for renovations to the pumping station. In his letter, Burns explain- ed there were several addi- tions recommended that hadn't been included in that plan, including some health and safety requirements laid down by the Ministry of the Environment. After approving the lowest tender, councillors also pass- ed a motion to make an initial payment of $41,925 to Ontario Hydro, so the subcontractor, Hoff Electric, can start bring- ing in lines to the station. Councillors also approved a motion to pay the engineering firm $14,397 before the fiscal year ends on March 31, which is a portion of the overall engineering costs. Potter, who will be oversee- ing the construction from now on, said he expects the entire project to be completed by late fall. The Ministry of the En- vironment is paying 69.9 per- cent of the costs to renovate the sewage disposal system.
