The plan, in the works for over two years, was passed by Ashfield township council earlier in the month and was sent to the county for its ap- proval. Once county. approval is received the docuement will be sent to the province for final approval. Warren Zinn, reeve of Ashfield, told council the township made several changes in the final draft,- - of its plan before seeking county approval. He said thechanges hinged around - agricultural policies in areas where urban and agricultural land uses meet. Zinn added that some changes had been made to the severance policy in the plan. He told council Ashfield had held several public meetings to discuss the plan adding he felt those sessions were well at- tended. He said the meetings offered council a good cross-section of public opinion towards 1an-1:111Se in the township and that opinion was reflected in the final draft of the plan. The changes worked into the final draft in- cluded• a requirement that all farm operations and buildings as well as other non-farm uses and structures comply with the Agricultural Code of Practices The change was requested by farmers who wanted the Cer- tificate. of compliance under the provincial Code of Practice to protect proclaim the Birth of The Prince of Peace, we (ejoice with you and extend sincere appreciation to all.

Farmers also urged council ,to insist that future agricultural and non-agricultural land uses comply with the Code of Practice. They felt by doing so council would be. protecting both the farmer and the urban dweller. The farmers also wanted the 2,000 foot restricted agricultural buffer zone around all urban are q in the township to be reduced to Lucknow, Port Albert, Dungannon and seasonal residential areas. The change rmoved the buffer zone from the fringe of the many hamlets in the township and removed a 1,000 foot buffer zone from in- dustrial or commercial establishments. The final approval of the secondary plan will probably not be given until late 1980 or possibly early 1981. Wine now popular In Ontario, there is a wide variety of wines to choose, from to com- plement every occasion,. To help you select the right one, food specialists at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food offer the following hints on Ontario wines. As a before dinner aperitif, sherry or ver- mouth are popular choices, although they're both good anytime. Aged in oak casks, dry or sweet sherries have a mellow character. Look for two types of vermouth: pale - white to golden -amber which is dry, and light - brown to dark -red which is sweet. , There are more than 100 Ontario table wines to choose from. All must conform to rigid stan- dards. They must be made totally from fresh grapes, have less than 13 percent alcohol by volume, and no alcohol can be added during production. Ontario also produdes some lighter wines. These versatile, light flavored wines, which are semi -sweet with a fruit flavor, are good anytime with any food. Another group of light flavored wines is the sparkling wines which are bubbly, and contain, less than seven percent aitohol. Most people are familiar with Ontario rose, but crackling, wines are also available in both red and white. They don't have the full bubbly character of the sparkling wines. There are also the champagnes, which are light and fun for special celebrations. They are slightly more expensive than other Ontario wines because they must undergo a second fermentation to make them bubbly; but they're never artificially carbonated. To finish off your meal, choose from four main types of Ontario dessert wines. These include cream or golden sherry, port, muscatel and tokay. '.1They're .great on their own, but especially nice when seryed with Ontario cheese and fresh fruit. Try some Ontario wines during this,holiday season. There's always one just right for every occasion.

County council learned Wednesday that its board of health had convinced the ,Ontario ministry of health to increase its funding in the county be 10 percent in 1980. Reeve 'Eileen Palmer, chairman of the board of health, told couhcil that Huron county was one of six counties in Ontario that was only receiving 50 percent provincial' fun- ding for health compared to 75 percent given the rest of the counties. She said a committee had convinced the ministry that Huron was being unfairly funded and persuaded the govern- ment to up its ante by 10 percent. She added that the province had alsO agreed to give Huron a 7.6 percent increase, about $23,000, for the county's 1979 budget. Huron's share of the health budget in 1979 was $307,678 and next year Charges out GODERICH - Charges against Goderich businessman Cayley Hill, stemming from $25,000 that can't be accounted for by his former em- ployer, Champion Road Machinery Ltd., have been dismissed for the second time. ' Crown attorney Garry Hunter attempted to bring Hill to trial on charges of theft, but Waterloo County Court Judge Roger Salhany was not convinced there was enough evidence to bring the matter to court. In a preliminary hearing earlier this year, cparges of fraud against Hill were dismissed by, prth"rincial Judge C.E. Perkins. Hill, the 52 -year- old former vice president at Champion, was ac- cused pf fraud after $25,000 ' in American Express travellers cheques , could not be accounted for by Champion. Hunter not only. ap- pealed the decision, but asked judge Salhany to use evidence from the earlier hearing to send Hill to trial for theft. Following the hearing, Hunter said unless some new evidence/ was discovered, he was going to let the matter die. wi810.1be about $273,000 in i9 In other business the board of health recom- mended to council that the county offer its .office space in Clinton Public Hospital to the Clinton hospital board in the event it is needed for a doctor coming to that town.pi a mer told council Clinton is in dire need of a doctor and is actively recruiting one to come.to town. ,;She said the hospital board asked if the county health unit space could be used for a doctor's office in the event one decided to locate there. Council signed a lease with the hospital board renting the floor space it now occupies with the understanding that if it is needed fora doctor the health unit would vacate. Bad brakes Faulty brakes are found on nearly one-third of the cars tested at in- spection stations. Too'few drivers realize that keeping car brakes in ' condition means good economy as well as safety, says the 'Ontario Safety League. When brakes are out of ad- justment, tires and brake linings wear out faster. Have your brakes checked regularly. Un a note of good cheer, we greet our many friends with best wishes and appreciation.
