Huron County has at least five years to
wait for regional government, according to
Charles S. MacNaughton, minister of
economics and treasurer of Ontario.
'Replying to questions at the Town of
Clinton •Industrial Committee's . annual
dinner last month, Mr. MacNaughton gave
the five-year estimate for overall regional
government, but intimated that the county
jail at Goderich may be replaced by a
regional detention centresometime sooner.
Clinton Reeve. James Armstrong, a
member of county council's ' property
committee, mentioned the jail in asking Mr.
MacNaughton whetller the couiitty should
undertake major repairs of its facilities now

Ile said on the evening of Feb. 19 he
received a phone .call from the reeve
The administrative offices of the Huron
County Board of Education will. be in
Central Huron Secondary School, Clinton.
The decision to renovate unused space
at the high school• and open the head of
office in Clinton was reached in an 8-6 vote
on paper ballots at a meeting in CHSS
Monday night,
In picking the Clinton site over one in'
Goderich, the 14 -member elected board
c�rejected the unani.rlaops recommendation of
its three newly hired top ad iirhistfators who-
wanted
ho
wanted the office located on the now-yacant
(a^
second floor of the new Huron County
Administrative (Assessment Dept.) 'Building.
The search for office space started soon
after the'board took control of the county's
schools last December and climaxed in
recent weeks with hours ofa debate by board
members. Clinton, Goderich and, Seaforth
each sought the board, offices, though the
choice was narrowed to the county building
and the high school before the deciding vote,
The discussion preceding Monday's ballot -
began with •John Cochrane, director of
education, announcing that one contractor
estimated the cost of renovations at $23,200-
without
23,20-
without air conditioning which would •add',
another $3,000. A seconds estimate was pot
ready by the time the board met.
It was later learned that a good-sized
chunk of the expense will go' toward
relocating a lab, one,of the schools oldest,
and will give the students a new facility as
well As make space available to the board of
education.
Mr. Gorrie explained that in the past, the
;efforts of the ambitious have been in danger
of smothering under an overload of work.,
Compensation can be made by a more
even- distribution. of responsibilities and a
more active participation on the part of the
public.•
It was feared that due to a- lack of
enthusiasm and a shortage of directors and
_tebhnicians, . there would not be a third
production. Kathy Jenkins, a very popular
actress with GLT audiences, will try her

to discuss a waste disposal site. "It was

suggested clarification would be forthcoming
in an informal session after the / regular

clarification was forthcoming. The meeting

meeting to discuss the garbage issue. There
