Seaforth meeting for tractor deb The fourth meeting of the Huron Codnty 4-H Tractor Club was held at Vincent's Farm Equipment, Seaforth. The topic discussed was diesel injection systems. Mr. Vincent's two mechanics told how to set injection pumps, and also described the difference between direct and indirect injections. In discussion on maintenance, it was learned that diesel tractors are easier on fuel and have fewer parts, making them easier to maintain than their gas coun- terparts. Members were also shown how to bleed air from a diesel tractor after it has run out of fuel. Lunch was served by Marlin Vincent, after which the meeting was adjourned.

(Staff Photo) Town's zoning byl (Continued from front page) situations so far had arisen in which such a special zoning like Electrohome's had been applied for. However, he added that after the new bylaw is circulated others may come forward. F *ORM M,9 r, Councillor Bateson then "ac- cused the planning , board of turning a deaf ear to some appli- cations while speedily acting on others. He pointed to changes made for Walker's Funeral Home, Electrohome and the Medical Clinic on John St. as ones which had been made with no delay while .the ownerof the Riverview Drive -In and- his own dairy products outlet were refused when they' asked for changes. Mr.' Davidson refused to comment on the planning board's decisions in that respect and again. said that anyone Who wished such a change could apply after the bylaw has been cir- culated. He - did suggest that planning is supposed to take .. into account what the town would like to be like, in the future rather than what it is like now. Councillor Harris declared that unless the Riverview Drive -In was zoned to allow its use to continue without being desig- nated as non -conforming he would never endorse the bylaw. He said that the owners of the property had gotten signatures from residents of the area who live within 400 feet of the property supporting a request that the drive-in be allowed a zoning change. Mr. Davidson rejoined that the Ontario Municipal Board would not even consider such a petition. Councillor Tim Willis felt that the land in question would be useless as a residential site (the area had been zoned for residential use ) Councillor Harris complained that the property's owners had scent a good deal of Money recently in renovating the building and he added that if the area wasn't re- zoned it could pose insurance or re -sale problems. The councillor felt that zoning was a good thing for new areas. Mr. Davidson, in answer to the councillor's statement that money had been spent on renova- tions, pointed out that the town had issued the owner with a building permit with the full knowledge that it was in contra- vention of the bylaw. Again he explained that the zoning bylaw must completely conform to the town's official plan and any changes would mean the official plan must be amended. However, he told the council that before third reading making changes, while necessitating plan amendments, could be made simpty. After the bylaw is passed the town can still change zoning but it will call for an" additional specific bylaw. CAN BE CHANGED It soon became apparent that the councillors were not` acquainted with what powers they exercised . over the , zoning bylaw and what processes must be followed. The county planner expiai>tied Sgulrai des>;that.Ae. change the bylaw to conform with demands from the public. lie added that most changes cou) ie made quickly by subsequent bylaws. However, he said that if there are objections to the amendments it could take time. At this point . Councilloor Jack Gillespie, seemingly impatient with Councillor Harris' persis- t tance on changing the drive-in's "designation, asked if the other councillor had thought whether or not someonewho lived near the drive-in 'might lose a home sale because of the proximity of such a restaurant. Councillor Harris could not answer on that point. Then Councillor Gillespie declared that zoning is not for one person but for everyone, in- cluding anyone who might live in town in the future. Coricillor Gilleopie then went through the bylaw, pointing out some minor discrepancies in sign regulations, parking, loading and shipping. Most of the points were cleared up by the county planner wisknQt any, anges . asid ex b, plained the interpretation:rrot certain bylaw subsections. G`cncil then made two . other ehos. ' they legitimized the existence of the Riverview Drive- tn and Bateson's Dairy by kranting them special R2-2 and 42-3 designations, Councillor inateson declared a conflict of terest on the latter change and did not vote. • r Several councillors, including Deputy Reeve ,Harold Wild and Councillor Harris; suggested that third reading should notbe given until the council's regular meeting next Monday. However, roost • of the council felt that enough time had been spent on the bylaw and a motion was made to pass bylaw 1559, giving the zoning plan third reading. 2700 attend Brussels fair last Thursday More than 2,700 pedple attend- ed the .113th Brussels Fall Fair held last Thursday at the Brussels grounds.

Vice president • • speaks•on farm help SItI.atlon F'aarmers do not take it upon themselvesto go on strike and deprive Canadians of their daily bread. Neither therfore, do they believe that farm workers have thiwright. Frank Wall, first vice president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, said at the International Flowing. Match that granting, this right to strike would . put the decision over the life and death of Canadians generally in the hands, of a few. Recent news. stories • have seriously misrepresented OFA's position, Wall says. "OFA agrees • with Labor Minister Andras that farm workers have the right to organize and ,forn4 a union, 0 they do create a representative organization, • then we will recognize it as. their legitimate spokesman." Wall is also chairman of the OFA Labor Committee. Farmers who hire employees have long recognized that, like themselves, their workers are underpaid. As farm incomes have improved over the past two years, farmers have increased proportionately the wages th pay. Most farmers value their helpers as an indispensible part of .their operation.• At least one organization On public funds is actively trying to up farm workers.: against the o no • • leve t a he rz Canadian taxpayer would freely choose to Spend his dollars on these activities," Wall states. "The labor situation on the farm has its own difficulties but the widespread alienation of worker from employer is not one of them. Usually Jae farmer employer hires only a few men, he works alongside them, and he knows the, worker and his . family per- sonally." 1 is Aro you prsper.d to build your resistanco against Bald: and wintor inf.ctlons Lee Vance Ltd.
