Ed Oddliefson, chairman of the Planning Board, claimed the study would "prove of great benefit to Huron County and would assist in implementing the Official Plan". "Also, of course, the study would .be related to all other areas in the province," reported Mr. Oddliefson, "and this is the reason the provincial, authorities 'are very interested in the subject. The financing in all probability would be a shared cost, the prov- ince paying the larger portion." Presented in the session was the proposal for the study to be completed by the James F. Mac - Laren firm with S. H. Janes in charge. Mr. Janes said that in looking over the official plan, it became evident there were not any policies for rural areas in - particular. "This type of study should have been done before the official plan," said Gerry Ginn of Gode- rich Township. Mr. Janes said that at the pres- ent time, rural planning is a "big catchall". He said that scattered development in rural areas may raise assessment in total, but it may also raise costs higher in the future.,. He suggested that farm assessment might have to go up to keep pace with increased de— mands mantis of urban -like development in the rural areas. ..................... Cost High "Protection of the environment is not cheap," said Mr. Janes. "Anytime you're dealing with an urban area, you can run into problems of clean streams, clean air. You have to pay for them." Some discussion centred around development of lakefront property in Huron and the ques- tion was asked whether this land should be treated as "agricul- tural" or "recreational". It was pointed out the land is worth '`three times as much for recrea- tional purposes". "It is a question f)f public value," said Mr .lanes "Do you want to eat or play?" Reeve Bill Elston, Morris Township, deplored the present system which prevents the sever- ance of lots from farms in certain instances. He said he recognized that the Land Division Commit- tee was only following rules laid down for it, but said that lin his township city dwellers, for in- stance, looking for a summer home with estate -like qualities were buying whole farms. Since they were unable to sever the buildings from the land, the farmland was growing up in weeds, fences were allowed to de- teriorate and related problems were developing. "It is a detriment to the neigh- bors," claimed Mr. Elston. "It is causing some real headaches." Reeve Charles Thomas of Grey Township said he was in agree- ment with Mr. Eisen. He said that 'Grey Township, too, is experienc- ing similar troubles, perhaps to a lesser degree than in Morris. Chargex service for A -T subscribers .

However, the Executive Com- mittee, in conjunction with the Property Committee, recom- mended that Conestoga College be denied the right to make the film at the jail because "in the opinion of both committees this type of documentary is not in the public interest". . Only one member of council, Reeve Paul Carroll of Goderich, argued in favor of the film being made. Mr, Carroll said that such his- torical happenings as the bloody Riel Rebellion have been re- corded(j filmed documentary form. 'Yaccept such' things as a matter'. of historical fact," said Mr. Carroll. "I think it is in the public interest from time to time to show that we are not too proud or too prim . to explore those periods of history. We shouldn't deny that request., For 90 Christmases now The Salvation Army has been bringt i,ng little gifts and the warmth of friendship into hospitals, prisons, old people's homes, into all the "dark corners" of life.

(Staff Photo) Huron councillors express doubts about official plan' The county's Official Plan has had yet another review by county council and members were con- cerned enough about some new segment proposed by the provin- cial government to refer the whole matter back to the 'plan- ning committee for another look. The portion of the plan on mo- bile homes within the county was the one which caused the most concern among the councillors. It was termed "too restrictive" in that it stated that mobile homes or house trailers would "only be permitted as semi-permanent or permanent dwelling units pro- vided they are located in a prop- erly_ planned trailer park which, in turn, shall only be permitted by an amendment to the re- stricted area (zoning) by-law im- plementing the municipality's Secohdary plan." .. The. debate, . which began Thursday continued into Friday. and produced plenty of hot de- bate. Anson McKinley of Stanley Township claimed the . section prevented trailers in agricultural areas even though the persons re- siding in the trailers were "agri- culturally oriented." We must have some control but. certainly not the rigidity that is built into this," stated Mr. Mc- Kinley. Charles Thomas, reeve of Grey, said the county was en- deavouring to "lump us all to- gether". He complained that rural municipalities which were in agreement with trailers locat- ing within their boundaries in certain locations, would be pre -- vented from allowing this. "The urban municipalities, have sec- ondary plans," said Mr. Thomas. "That's where the regulations should be. When you put it in the overall county plan, . you are. lumping us all together." Several members of council, including Warden Elmer Hayter, , felt the control was still with the local municipalities through the zoning by-laws. Other members, however, said no zoning by-laws would be approved that were in conflict with the official plan of the county. Some' members of council argued that the policy was not too restrictive when viewed on "a broader scale". Reeve Paul Car- roll of Goderich said the control was needed since there could be five or 10 years between the, offi- cial plan and the approval'of sec- ondary ,plans throughout the county. "I hope UDIRA will look into this," said Mr.. McKinley. "I don't think the policy should be so rigid right off the bat. This is not what was presented to this county." Illness not normal part of teething When your baby is born, deep inhis jawbones are the 20 prim- ary teeth' which began to form early in pre -natal life. At birth the crowns of the primary teeth are almost completely formed, Shortly before birth the enamel of the first permanent (six year)' molars have begun to form. The central incisors in the front of the mouth are the first to erupt. Usually this occurs when the baby is from six to eight months of age. T e wer teeth usually erupt before corresponding teeth in the upper law. Your child should have all of :his primary teeth by.the time he is' two and.a half to three years old. The appearance of each of his teeth marks a, stage . in your baby's development. Teething is a natural process, although at times a baby may develop sore or tender gums. Illness is not a nor- mal part of teething. If a child ap- pears to be ill, he should be taken to a physician to determine the. cause. A baby's jaws are only partial- ly developed at birth. They con- tinue to grow throughout child- hood and into adolescence. HOSPITAL QUIPS GREAT NEWS, SARGE YOU'VE BEEN CLEARED ON THAT CHARGE OF ' POLICE BRUTALITY' ! " Reeve Carroll said some mem- bers of council were not ta� king land use, but rather assessfent. He said it was important to find a balance from both the urban and rural points of view, _ Mr. Carroll noted that the ur- ban centres were concerned about increased urban -like 'de velopment in rural areas because it meant that an increased num- ber of people residing in the country and paying taxes to rural municipalities were using the services usually provided only by urban municipalities such as arenas, swimming pools, etc. He was reminded by. Warden Hayter that rural dwellers also spend their money in the urban centres. CAR's nutritious meals help 25 million children of all colours to a brighter healthier future.
