(Continued from page 1) provide an entirely new building for the assessment department. So far, Huron County Coun- cil has not given any indication whether these suggestions have ever been seriously considered by the members. Reeve Deb Shewfelt has in- dicated that in his opinion, the Town of Goderich should look into the possibility of buying the property to the west of the assessment office. Shewfelt feels that if the town showed it was ready to bargain in a con- structive mariner. the county might look more favorably upon the plan: Thought has ' been given in some quarters 'to setting up a fund to_preserve the jail.

The initial donation was made by Ian Leslie ot;. England last fall when the first -hint of demolition at the jail was heard. Persons wishing to contribute r 'o this fund may make their Contributions at the Bank of Commerce. At tomorrow evening's meeting of Croderich Town Council, members will hear a report` from persons carrying the petition to save the jail although the actual petitioning will „continue for some time to come. In last week's edition of the Clinton News -Record, the editor suggested that the for- mer -communication school at Vanastra would make a perfect spot for not only an assessment Office, but for many --other regional and provincial func- tions as well. "The school is in exk ellent shape and has all the attributes of a fine office building at a minimum rebovastion. cost," The editorial said. "Not only would the former school be put to good uses but it would -keep the jobs -in ,,'Huron County, utilize a good building and put the regional assessment office closer to the centre of Huron and Perth Counties." "It ' would save a precious heritage as well," the editorial concluded. Turn down MDC... (Continued from page 1) was making it increasingly dif- ficult for elected officials to voice their . opinions. Professor Horton referred to 'five new "huge super regions" in the province-in'whieh. Huron is- lumped in with London, Sar- nia, Windsor... "I'm afraid the power is in the urian centres," said Hor- ton. "It bothers me that change, is coming so fast. I'm' not opposed to regional govern- ment. I'm opposed to the way itis being done. I'm not con- vinced that the provincial government is sincere about - _citizen involvement. Only lip service is given to citizen com- munication."

You . peed the development council more desperately now than ever before. Who knows what the next 12 months will . bring?" _ It hits been estima - ted that less than one-half of one per- cent -of the people in Ontario know anything about regional government. "But it is one of the major concerns of the. provincial government," said Professor Horton. Walter Gowing said that elected officials aren't fully awhre of what they want, but so far they haven't been able to agree with the senior levels of government in Ontario about what is proposed. "We're living in a timethat s growing short," said Jim Hayter. "Today rfrore than ever we should voice our wants and needs Ind make sure we've ' been heard. We Have to look beyond our own boundaries, at east until we see what this new anning area will bring to us." he warning of the MDC rep esentatives was clear. "Regional government is here to stay," said Gowing. "Many municipalities will sim- ply disappear. You must decide or people on Bev Street will do it for you." County hears Goderich delegation Members of Huron County Council sat patiently Friday morning as two separate petitions were presented to them by persons' who deplored ®the fact that a • part of the jail wall was being removed. . Mrs. Joan Van. den B'roeck,. Goderich, and Garry Fisher! Kaye Dustow, Barb Blake and Reinhard Voelrnle, all of GDC1, presented petitions to council. In total, the petitions represented 1320 persons in Huron County .... , with more names -coining in all the time. Mrs. Van den Broeck told council: "In consideration of the fact that your General .Council Meetings are held monthly, we feel it' is wide to present to you -at this time knowledge of the }context yf petitions which are presently being circulated regarding your proposal to tear down the jail wall adjacent to the Assessment Building. "These petitions are receiving overwhelming sup- port in the Goderich area and it is hoped that they will be com- pleted in time for presentation to the County Representatives .• week to all the weekly newspapers in the county in an attempt to acquaint Huron County citizens with ' the problem, Mrs. Van alien Broeck said.

Kerr, Frank propert belQp in to and_ an k 4 s integral part of the old` Huron members; and Roy V. Pattison, County Jail." A letter is being sent this Warden, as an ex officio mem- ber. However, some concern was felt that the 'rural areas were getting too much representation on the cgirnmittee as only twti urban members were included on the list. The matter will be reviewed once more by the com- mittee to adjust committee membership. The year-end- report of the Social Services Committee showed that 14 municipalities in.l-T.uron County spent less on welfare in 1972 under the county welfarescheme inaugurated last January. These municipalities are Howick, Hullett, Stanley, Stephen, Tuckersmith, Mtn - berry, Usborne, East Wawanosh, Exeter, Seaforth, Wingham, Brussels, Hensall and Zurich.
