Rumors for an Ontario Hydro heavy water plant or nuclear power generating station for Huron County were squelched by Mr. Hayter who produced a Letter from Hydro to him stating that no'plans, short or -long range, had been made for -establishing a hydro plant in Huron County. The letter said that a list of plans for. Hydro's expansion until 1992 did not in - elude any sites in Huron. It added that any plans the provincial hydro supplier had for ess res, expansIon would be puhUCly s'crutinalz€ by the Porter Commission before they would he allowed totake Shape. Mrs Hayter said that he was not ageing Hydro expan lon here but added that be was not for it, He said the commodity was important to the prove aswell as the County of Huron but- added that its exact location would be up to the local residents. "Any decision to build a plant in Huron County Will not be made in Toronto. It will be made here," said Mr. Hayter, He added that he, as a representative or member of the Progressive Conservative association, would sponsor a public survey to ascertain the feelings of the residents for the riding and then act on those findings.

He said he felt that the .municipalities in the riding shod promote their industry larks and with provincial help encourage industries to establish here. He said new industry would be welcomed but that he personal, would rather see the expansion of already established companies in Huron -Middlesex. "Keep indttstry confined to industrial Lam in the towns and fill them up," said Mr. Hayter. "There's no need to allow thezn to spring up better skelter." A closer relationship with farmers in this riding is also needed to get a better un- derstanding of their needs and problems, according to Mr. Hayter. He said he wants to sit down with the heads of various agricultural organizations to discuss the province's tulle in agriculture as well as meeting individual fanners not involved with any organization. According to Mr. Hayter the province does not pay enough attention to the small businessmen of Ontario. He said he regarded merchants in the smallest rural area of the province to be as vital to the economy as those in large urban centres. He said he intends to investigate possible low interest loans for -the businessmen to help them establish new business or ex- pand their present facilities. He added that he felt more should -be done to urge con- sumers .to shop at bathe rather than make shopping excursionsto large centres. Regional government for Huron - Middlesex is a dead issue according to the PC candidate. He said the people from Huron have made their point in Toronto over regionalism and that unless they want a regional government system, they will not get it. rmers worried about carcasses threa*eniii Concern was expressed at the August meeting of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture about dead animals left to rot - in.r+emote areas of farms, Several farmers in attendance said they knew of farmers who were towing their dead stock back into the bush to rot rather than pay a charge from dead stack com- '•panies to pick up the animals or pay the cost of digging a hale to bury the animals. The problem has arisen because of the • drop in the market for meat far dead jeature animals used in pet foods. The bottom has dropped out of the market and dead stock companies can no longer pay for the animals as they once did. Now they must even charge to take the animals away from -theder to meetmenses . Some farmers. accustomia— to.. ng paid for the dead carcasses have objected and apparently are getting rid of the animals on their own farms.

So, he Was forced to bury the animal an his own property. Other farmers then told of seeing dead carcasses left in bushes of neighbouring farms. A great deal of discussion was held on the problem. Mason bailey of Blyth recalled that the Ontario Federation of Agriculture had passed a resolution Last year calling for the government to take over the dead stock business because owners of the business were no longer able to provide as good service as• they once did because of the lack of market for meat. It was suggested that the municipality provide space and the dead stock com- panies be paid to bury the animals.

Mr. Paquette explained _.the ergot- normally only affects rye but spread into the barley because it was planted earlier than usual this year.

George Youmataff of St. James Anglican Church Middleton mounted the prow of a small motor. boat to preach his Galilean service at Stewart Middleton's Park. About 300 people, many bringing their own chairs or sitting on the seats provided which included bales of hay set in rows, assembled for last Saturday's service and picnic lunch. Surprisingly. Rev. Youatoff admitted that the idea for the sermon from the boat was not originally thought up because of its symbolism. • "We decided to hold a church service outside in Stewart Middleton's Park and jokingly Stewart suggested f preach from a boat so they could rock it and dump me into the water after 1 finsibed speaking," Rev. Youmatoff said. "When 1 got there that Sunday four years ago the boat was on the pond so I. decided to take cep the offer and mounted the boat. I didn't get dumped into the water though," he added. It was only on seriously thinking about the incident that Rev. Yournatoff said he realized its symbolic virtue to an event in the life of Christ. With the end of the service, the congregation rallied around farm trailers set with a picnic lunch and were then en- tertained by the singing Bradley Bunch from Clinton. "This is where we should always gather to praise God - in His real cathedral," Rev. Youmatoff said, indicating the wide open "spaces around him. "Of course it would be a little difficult with our cold winters to hold services outside."
