The ban has now been lifted. The directors decided to adopt a suggestion by Gerald Fatum, of Fergus, that groups of directors meet with county and municipal ,councils throughout the area to fill in the elected representatives on MODA. "Most councils don't know anything about MODA," Mr. Fatum commented. Warden James Hayter, ., of Huron County, pointed out that most of MODA directors are not members of councils. "So often," he said, "councils appoint people to jobs and then never hear of them again. People don't seem to realize when they are named to a board . or commission they have . a responsibility to report back to the body -+which appoints them." T. H. Isley, Reeve of Waterloo Township, said when his council .makes an appointment he asks the appointee to report back at every ",meeting of council. •However, he agreed, this is not the usual practice. Several of the directors mentionedways in which MODA had been of assistance to -the municipality they represent. Walter Gerth, Milverton reeve, said the, village; whichf-has been • looking for' a dentist for several years, has a "good prospect" obtained 'through MODA. The dentist read a MODA brochure on the area, became interested in this part of Ontario, and is considering settling here. , "If MODA has done nothing more than attract a dentist to Milverton, its efforts would be worthwhile," Reeve Gerth commented. He explained there is a large farming area around Milverton whose residents have to travel many miles and, wait a long time to receive dental treatment.
