Huron to be used for pilot study
Huron County is to be the
pilot area for a study to review
Urban Development in Rural
4 Areas it was learned Thursday
at county council.
Ed Oddleifson, chairman of
the Planning Board, claimed
the study would "prove of great
benefit to Huron County and
would assist in implemting the
official plank".
"Also, of course, the study
would be related .to all other
areas in the province," repor-
ted Oddleifson' "and this is the
reason. the provincial
e authorities are very interested
in the subject. The financing in
all probability would be shared
cost, the province paying the
larger portion.'
Presented in the session was
the proposal for the study to; be
►M completed by the James F.
-MacLaren firm with S.H. Janes
in charge.
' Janes said that in looking
over the, Official Plan, it
became evident there were .not
any policies for;rural areas in
particular.•
"This type of study should
have been done before the Of-
ficial Plan," said Gerry Ginn of
Goderich Township.
Janes said that at the present
time, rural planning if a "big
catchall," He said that scat-
tered development in rural
areas may raise assessment in
total, but it may also raise
costs higher in the future. , He
suggested that farm assessment
might have to go up to keep
pace with increased demands of
urban -like development in the
rural area.
"Protection of the 'environ-
ment is not cheap," said Janes.
"Anytime you're dealing with
an urban area, you can run into
problems of , clean streams,
clean air. You have to pay for
them."
Some, discussion centred
around ' development , of
lakefront property in Huron
and the question was asked
,whether this land should be
treated as "agricultural or
recreational". It was pointed
out the land was worth "three
times as much for recreational
purposes".
"It is a question of public
value," said Janes. ' "Do you
want to eat or play?"
Reeve Bill Elston, Morris
Township, deplored the present
system which prevents the
severance of lots from farms in
certain instances. He said he
recognized that the Land
Division Committee was only
following rules laid down for it,
but said that in his township,
city dwellers, for instance,

"It is a detriment to the
neighbors," claimed Elston. "It
is causing some real
headaches."
Reeve Charles Thomas of
Grey Township said he was in
agreement with Elston. He said
that Grey Township, too; was
experiencing similar troubles,
perhaps to a lesser degree than
in Morris.

Although the weather was
bad, a good crow4 attended Oe
fall meeting of the Huron CO,

Owing to bad roads, the
Ministry of Natural Resources
officers and • speakers from
Wingham and Hespeler were
quite late, and no films arrived
from Toronto.
• However, a very interesting
speech concerning the baiting
of foxes, skunks etc. for biology
experiments, after some of
these animals have eaten the
treated baits and are caught
later, was listened to eagerly
by the audience.
Many parasites have already
been discovered and carefully
examined, such as lungworms
and flukes in foxes and skunks:
Leg worms in raccoon and
kidney worms in mink, etc:
were also found. Dave John-
ston was the able speaker on
this subject, from Hespeler and
Galt region. Mr. Blake Evans
of Wingham; next speaker,an-
swered questions concerning
the wolf bount and said the bill
was shortly going to be dealt
with by the government,
whether to leave it on or
remove it over the whole
Province of Ontario.
He alga gave an interesting
talk on the changes taking
place in the Department offices.
Wi.ngliam will be a• district of-
fice. Also, one will be
established in Owen' Sound,
Chatham, Strathroy, etc. and
also London will be the central
headquarters for the office
work for these regional offices,
but Toronto will still be the top
main office for the province. In
this way It is hoped to be able
to better cope, with new wage
and time laws being slowly
brought in by the Government
of Ontario, .and still give u.
,economical and quick service to'
'the local districts by • more
modern methods.

As it is nearing the Christmas Season, my mind,
goes back to one Christmas in my childhood 1'll
never forget. Today we hear what' the children want
for Christmas and I guess we looked for something
nice, too.
The year this happened there had been a strik on,
with no hopes of being settled. My father could not
get work elsewhere.
Just less than two weeks before Christmas, my
mother called us children together — four girls and
two boys. She told us there would be no Christmas
gifts for anyone and it was up to each one of us''to
find the real truth of'•Christmas and what it could
mean to us.
As children we knew what it meant for mother to
say this and none of us let her see how we felt about
it
However, we all got together to decide what we
could clo. There was old wrapping paper and, it was
green, 'so my brother got a bamboo cane and
slithered it down and got another stick and made a
Christmas' tree.
Then we each one found out what the other was
wanting without letting.them know why. It was sur -
fancy wrapping paper, by 'Christmas Eve all was
ready and placed under the tree.
Christmas morning found no Christmas stockings,
but we all gathered together and gave out our
homemade gifts.
Mother then thanked us one and all for the gifts of
love and that we had learned that it was better to
- --•-give--than- to --receive: It--also-mean-a -happy Christ
mas for each one of us.
