reeve of Goderich was
nominated Wednesday night, as
the New Democratic Party
candidate in the riding -of Huron
in the next provincial election.
The nomination meeting,
held in the ' Central Huron
Secondary School in " Clinton
attracted between. 60 and 70
persons who saw Mr. Carroll
defeat Ed Bain, also of
Goderich. '`Also- , ominated was''
Herb Clopp of Zurich buthe
withdrew his ',name • from

Mr. Carroll told the meeting
after his nomination that he felt

pounds while waiting for- the

• The North Street United
Church Hall was a busy, lively
place last Saturday, June 26;
when the Goderich Horticultural
Societyinvaded with its Spring
Flower Show.
The flowers were in beautiful
abundance - especially the
roses. Entries were up over last
year, which is always .a welcome
trend.
In the agangement section,
the Summer • Old English'
Bouquet class was a particularly
fine, ,one. Its many beautiful
entries must have given the judge
an unenviable task in choosing
winners.
- The judges were Miss Luella
Johnston .of London who judged
the horticultural sections, and
Mrs.. -R. E. , Wilton who judged
the arrangement classes, •
Flowers were not all that was
offered at-this,show, however.
The United Church Women's
group had a repeat of last year's
successful "Tea Garden" and
served tea; coffee, and delicious
squares. They also held a bake
sale that had people scurrying in
to snap up the tasty home -.baked
items.
A photographic exhibit of
early Ontarioarchitecture,
borrowed from the Ontario Art
Gallery, was displayed in the
centre of the room.
The , film that . had been
planned for viewing never did
,arrive (growl!) — however, a` fine
slide display was ,shown
continuously throughout the
show, on automatic equipment
borrowed from Campbell's of -
Goderich, who very kindly
stepped in to solve the problem.
• So, all- in. all, 'twas a very
successful ' afterrroon and
evening. - ' -

Council greeted with • mixed
feelings the announcement at

Garyz. Davidson, planning
director for the county, told

opportunity to , develop

county.
No decision -was reached on
the atter and it is expected the
pi fling board will review the
situation further before making
a recommendation to council.
It was noted that only two
municipalities Blyth and the
township of Turnberry — had
not contacted ' the county
concerning their opinion of the
county plan.
.PA
Davidson also told `council
that local councils may collect a
cash fee up to five percent of .the
value of any lot or subdivision
prior to development under the
Planning Act.
The money realized from this
department, Davidson pointed
out, was to , be used for
recreational purposes in the area.
A suggestion' was made by the
committee that this cash be put
into a county fund which in turn
would be used ' to purchase
properties for park purposes on
a county basis.
