County unity theme of
warden's race speeches
By Suirley Keller
The 1973 race for Warden
showed plenty of sparkle as four
ballots were required to select
Reeve Roy Pattison of East
Wawanosh for the county's high-
est office. Pattison, nominated by
Bill Elston, reeve of Morris, was
shown to the warden's chair by
1972 Warden Elmer Hayter.
In his, pre-election speech,
Pattison'promised to listen to the
suggestions of county council and
to endeavor to enact those poli-
cies approved by county council
members.
Runner-up Hugh Flynn, who
with Pattison was a second -time
contender for the pcisL urged
county councillors to be county
minded. He said official planning
and zoning are of utmost impor-
tance and stressed the need for
Huron to plan its own' future.
Reeve Everett Mcllwain, oust-
ed on the third ballot, said that in
his opinion "public office is a
trust and an opportunity to
serve". He, too, said county
council must look at Huron as an
entity. Mcllwain urged "calm,
Unbiased thinking" for, he said,
when any one municipality bene-
fits, all municipalities in Huron
benefit.
Reeve Ed Oddleifson, Bayfield,
a retired gentleman who had
hoped his past experience
coupled with the availability of
time would take hien to the war-
den's ehair, was defeated on the
second ballot. He told council that
because Huron is primarily a
rural area, he hoped it would be
treated, somewhat differently by
the provincial government when
and if the time came for regional
government. He said his concern
was that the county did not be-
come "swallowed up into a large
area of regional government".
Reeve Harold Lobb, Clinton,
who went down on the first ballot,
said that in his opinion, Huron
County could stand to double its
population. He also noted that he
hoped the county plan would be
passed during 1973 and that the
addition would be made to the
assessment building in order to
hold that industry in Huron.
