Will open up Regional Development Council
MODA manager tells Seaforth seminar
BY WILMA OKE
"Regional Development
Council will open,9 up to labour
groups, women's organizations,
service club`s and Church groups
if a proposed restructuring...• of
the Council takes' place," said
Walter W. Gowing, General
Manager, of Midwestern' Ontario
Development, Council 'speaking
in Sea•for-th-Thur'sda-y-.,night. - ----
Huron and Perth Counties.
The Development Council is
the voice of the people livin,� in
the midwestern region,;' said r.
Gowing,' "and deals with, overall.
economic planning and acts as
'an advisory bdard'to the regional..
development branch - of the.
Department of Treasury and
Economics."
In his , address at a special
seminar on "planning for the
future of Huron and Perth",
• • sponsored by the rural life
ivision ' of - the Huron -Perth
'Presb Y �-te � ' of the United
'
Church, he outlined significant
changes to ' the - four -county
Development Council that will
.create five new sections
including agriculture, education;
industry and commerce, tourism
and a general section.
"Who better than the farmer
knows the , problems . of
agriculture and how to deal
with them," said Mr. ' Gowing.
"The same holds true in the
other sections of the
restructuring process," he .said.
Speaking on regional
planning, it was pointed out that
the Phase One analysis released
last July for the midwe_stern-
region of ,:Ontario' w'il'l form
_-_- one=tenth of an overall
provincial economic plan.
Mr. Gowing also warned of
-.. the growing ' effects of the
Toronto centered region plan on
the fringe areas of this concept,
-hie--outlined other -functions
of.. the Council, including
• research, industrial promotion,
tourism development,
community affairs 'and seminars
'and general • co-ordination of -
municipal programs:
The meeting -also included a,
panel made up of Mayor Don
'Symons of , Clinton, ' ° Reeve
Charles•.•• Thomas of Grey
Township' and Ross r Milton,
Administrator of • the "-Huron
Centre of Conestoga College.
The first • panelist, . Reeve
Thomas .said--he--represented the
rural point • of ' view.' "Rural
, people are ,ata disadvantage with
regional development for rural,
people hindered by the tax
"structure," he stated.
Mr. Thomas compared 'this
township of 1700,persons to an
urban_centre with double the
population.: He said both
municipalities would pay the
same countyrate to services
such as Public Health Units or
library facilities but his township
'had only half the number of
people tb take advantage of the
services. ' He , concluded, "In
WORK
BOOTS
order to 'have good regional
development we, 'need tax
reform." - '
.Mayor Don Symons, second
panelist to, speak, said a meeting
such as this provided a great
,\ opportunity for , people to' get
their feet wet. "This is
e§sentially a rural; area but the
towns are necessary for us to
shop_ They offer recreation,",he
said.
Speaking of the closing of the
Canadian Forces Base at Clinton
Mayor Symons :said it concerns
all in this area, not just the
people in .Clinton., He reported
since the. announcement of the
.Base' closing, Clinton's
population has slipped from
$•300 to 2975. „
Mr. Milton in his remarks
talked about Huron County.
looking back to its early days
and. compared them to modern
times. He spoke of the high cost
to the farmer of bringing
automation to : the farm by
"investing in wheels and
horsepower".
In the question and answer
period, which continued to II
p.m., Mayor Symons spoke Qf
planning. at the local level and
Mr. Gowing 'stressed the
necessity in planning' to know
what "the people''op.the other
side of the fence are doing."
In a discussion on the
population ' explosion , in the
Torontar, Kitchener, Waterloo
areas, Mr. Gowing said it would
be necessary for us° to look at
our areas to determine what
would be the growth ,potential
so that w • could channel the
overflow fiipm outside, in an
orderly .fashion -- not , let houses
get,•built:,do.wn every sideroad.
r When the question of a time
when the population might have
to be restricted, Janis Whitman
of Seaforth stated: '`Paul Erlich
Says the worldcan only support '
'3.5 billion' and there are over 6
billion now, so it is evident we"
are oVercrowded2 We complain
the urban sector is expanding at
a: far greater rate 'than the rural
sector but we should
educationally inform both urban•
end rural of the problem."
.Miss •Whitmarf complained
that Huron County sends 23
percent, of the Grade 13
graduates out,, therefore - there
are 75 percent without standard
qualifications. "We can't _even
offer' 'urban sectors skilled,
•labour.;: a •al_education has -t6-'
-be_ apted. The -attitudes of
students towards , the goals have
to be changed," she concluded.
,Reeve Thomas complained:
"There is,'a, ''bp i w'dsain to the'
cities."
