In.. some cases, they could not receive permission to rebuild on their ,present sites and their insurance policies should.reflect this'possibility. . George Penfold, of the Huron planning department, said most municipalities fall under provisions of tb.e_-Code and most require certificates of compliance for the erection of new buildings. He predicted that the Code would become part of zoning bylaws. A spokesman for the ministry of the environment said that fewer complaints were being . received where the Code was followed. He said that odors would not be eliminated entirely from farm operations, but if the Code was followed the odors would be reduced for neigh- boring property owners to the point where they could live with them. Some provisions of the Ontario Agricultural Code of Practice, are already con- tained in the Huron County plan, but municipal coun- cillors were advised this week they should consider in- stituting the Code in. their' restricted area zoning bylaws. That was the message given a handful of area council members who at- tended a meeting in Hensall recently when the Code and its accompanying certificate of compliance were outlined to them by representatives of three Ontario ministries, agriculture and food, en- vironment and housing. One of the main speakers at the session, which attracted less than 20 interested far.c mers and council members, was Keith Clarke, an engineer with the ministry of • agriculture and .food at Vineland. Clarke was responsible for designing the formulas used in the Code. The formulas establish the minimum distance separation of livestock operations and other specified land .uses and are part of the 19. 6. revision of the Code. These formulas relate parameters, namely kind of livestock, size, percentage change in size, manure system and manure storage. They were established in an effort to isolate factors that contribute to environmental conflicts. Clarke explained that the formulas, were designed to reflect expansion of agricultural operations. He did have a warning for farmers, especially those who had farm buildings that may 'be a non -conforming use under present zoning bylaws.

(Expositor Photo) Gordon Hill "roasted" at farewell dinner By John Miner Gordon Hill has .been noted for roasting politicians and government officials, but Thursday night it was their turn. More than 650 farmers and members . from every political party converged on the Royal York Hotel in Toronto to honour the retiring president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Two bus loads from Huron and Perth were unable to make it _because of . the. weather.- -The eather:"The evening was billed as a "roast" of Gordon Hill and he was treated to a good natured roasting as well as strong praise. Roy Jewell, well-known farm broadcaster, said Gordon would be remem- bered for "smartening up the Federation of Agriculture at ' a time when it was getting fat and lazy." "He was a politician "s politician. He used the gloved fist when it was necessary, Any persons in Vanastra in need of assistance in- any form, should call the Vanastra Community Association headquarters at 482-7910, or 482-7077. but not often. He's the kind of guy who could have been in politics for years and never been found out." Federal Minister of Agriculture Eugene Whelan told the audience that Gordon had better luck than he had had in his endeavors. "He set out and changed the Federation of Agriculture to his liking and I'm still working like hell to change the Liberal party." Mr. Whelan referred to Gordon's favorite hobby of fishing, saying that Gordon never concerned himself about fishing seasons. "He hadthe exact same attitude towards politicians. No real season was out of season for them." Everett Biggs, provincial deputy • minister , of agriculture, said Gordon had been abrasive and irritating to politicians at ' Queen's Park, "which is probably a good thing."

Rumours that Mr. Hill might run for a political party were mentioned by provincial treasurer, D'arcy McKeough. "I can only say ' that whichever party gets him will get exactly what they deserve." • Mr. McKeough said it would suit him fine if Gordon joined his party, but warned Gordon that if he joined any other party they were already prepared. "Our battle cry will be Hill'," he said. Earle Maberly' from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia paid tribute to Mr. Hill on behalf of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. "There have been times we didn't agree, but we always knew where we stood with you." "Gordon is one of the greatest farm leaders this country has ever seen," he said.

Mr. Hill said the past seven years as president of the Federation of Agriculture were the most. fulfilling in his -life and he thanked his family for the strong support they had given him. He said the Federation was in good hands with Peter Hannam, newly elected president. "I have a great deal of good feeling for what's ahead," he said.
