I have always been grateful that Huron provides a stable, and sound base frOm which one can tolerate more erratic events in. 'other parts of the Province. However, I came to join -you in welcoming this afternoon a new branch of Standard Atito' Glass ter this community.

As we, have tried, to say on so many oc- casions and for so many years, each of our municipalities must . pursue its own development guidelines. At the provincial level, we do not have the resources, nor do we feel it ap- propriate, to establish, planning controls at 'the local level, However, I have been ,pleased to note, in' the short period I have served in the por- tfolio that now handles within our boundaries, hope we can continue to make modest but solid growth .in this part of Ontario, to com- plement the strong agricultural base v.v,tch will continue to be the major element in Huron's economy. contemplated in several of our communities. Most of them are modest undertakings but they represent the .moderate and diversified form of development that I believe most of us are anxious to see in this area. For example, I expect to be able to announce next week two further leans from the On- tario Development Corporation toward additional manufac- tu' ring enterprises in Huron. I estimate that about six more are under consideration. While all of them will'not materialize, I am reasonably ,confident that some will develop during 1973. t am encouraged,, too, to know that these prospects represent a healthy balance• between the expansion of: existing enterprise in our com- munities and the introduction of. new operations to Huron. 1 4IP believe this is the way com- munities should grow.

Perhaps one of the"' strongest influences towards, larger .a.Asi more effec- tive units df local government, for which general acceptance is growing, is, the recognition of the need for better and broader planning at community level. For those of you, wMi itiay be interested, I will be unveiling the reform proposals for the area East of Metropolitan Toronto this coming Monday evening at public meeting in Oshawa. We ..ekpect that proposals for West of Metro will be presented early in the °New Year. Certainly, I am pleased with the initiatives undertaken by Huron County toward the development of an official plan, which in turn has prompted renewed interest in the plan- ning processes of our local municipalities. Huron was one of the first rural counties to pursue a guideline for develop- ment and many others now have f011owed its lead. I know there are problems. We have hurdles to overcome. Even at this stage. however, we are working on a provincial -county study that will lead to further refinements. These efforts are. most 'appropriate since plan- ning must be a continuingo process of review and update. At the provincial level, as some of you will know, we are pursuing some extensive review programs in the field of com- munity planning. The Select Committee on the pntario Municipal Board recently sub- mitted some major recommen- dations toward simplifying, streamlining and expediting OMB involvement in the local planning, process. Among its proposals was a comprehensive review of the planning process in Ontario, which is being con- sidered from a variety of viewpoints. In addition, we are pursuing , internal ad- ministrativ.e improvements. in the processing .of official plan and subdivision applications.

The plan of subdivision, I under- stand, is now being reviewed by the Goderich Planning Boar / and, as you will appreciate, must go through the normal ap- .proval processes. . In any case, this proposal furnishes , further evidence today of continuing growth in Goderich and the Community of Huron.

Fleming, hor- ticultural specialist, 'Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Garden soils alone are :Inot suitable. It is difficult to mix garden soil, humus and sand in the correct combination ior individual house plants. However, the problem can be solved by using. a name -brand, artificial potting Mixture available at garden centers and seed stores. Artificial soil mixes are for- mulated to allow for good root penetration, aeration, rapid drainage and water -holding capacity. Most artificial potting mixes will contain some plant food. However, regular feeding with plant tablets or liquid fer- tiliiers will be needed to main- tain healthy, vigorous growth of most plants. that the many elements of - development involve a tremor*, dolls amount of effort, expertise ancr experience.
