TheGDCI Vikings, both senior and junior, served notice last Thursday that they are not about to relinquish their position as the football power of the Huron -Perth Conference. The senior Vikings shut out Stratford Central 41-0 while . the juniors blanked Stratford 21-0 in games played in the Classic City. Coach Ray Donnelly's senior Viking,s showed a well- balanced ground and air at- tack, with both quarterbacks Tom O'Brien and Larry Don- nelly showing ability to exploit the weaknesses of the Stratford defensive unit. Their job was made easier -by the effective lineplay of the Vikings offen- sive line. Not once during the game was a Viking quarterback thrown for a lees. End Casey Wildgen had ,9 big game for the Vikings, scoring three touchdowns and kicking five converts for a total of 23 points. He also played a st rong game at his defensive halfback spot. The Viking defence allowed only five first downs- by S trat- ford during the game. Coach Donnelly has made several changes from the defensive allignment used in pre -season exhibition games. The moving of Wally Pierson to .m_iddle linebacker and the additi on of Allan Shelton at corr ler - linebacker did much to shore up the Viking defense. Th e play Executive committee report brings motion from Bayfield reeve BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER The Executive Committee report to Huron County Coun- cil last Friday brought a storm of protest from Reeve Ed Od- dleifson; a member of .the Plan- ning Board; when it was lear- ned plans were afoot to make the Planning Board ' and the Land Division Committees separate bodies. According to the Executive Committee report, the Planning Act provides for a Planning Board to be made up, of four, six or eight members of county council plus the Warden and to operate separately from the Land Division Committee. - The recommendation which was finally approved by council was that for the year 1974, the Huron County Planning Board consist of six members of county council plus the warden. One member from the Social Services Committee will be transferred, to the neva commit- tee to permit the proper num- ber on the Planning Board. The present Planning Board consists of five members of council, five appointees from outside cooncil andE. ,the war den. It has been felt that under. that system, the same people made the decisions and heard the appeals on those decisions. "When the board doesn't agree, members are not very apt to appeal their own decisions," said Charles Thomas,- reeve of Grey. Reeve Oddleifson warned against "an independent arm" such as the Land Division Committee would become with the new legislation. He said he was "surprised" that the Executive Committee would make such a suggestion'when it was the "first indication'` Reeve Oddleifson, a member of a planning board, had had it in the works. "It is a little strange to me to learn the planning board isn't operating as smoothly as I thought it was," said Oddleif- son. .. ;Is the Executive Committee the committee to decide policy?" asked Oddleifson. "I thought each committee was a committee unto its own. I was under the impression there was no senior committee. Maybe there should be but I'rra afraid I haven't seen it in the. books." John Berry, coup Lty clerk treasurer, referred to the rules and regulations for E Tome con- firmation , of the Executive Committee's powers and while he admitted the legis elation left some room for ,argun lent, it ap- peared the Executiv e Commit- tee was the only con mittee who .-had any right to recommend on policy matters. "Then let's forn ialize their authority in the p 'roper man- ner," said Oddleifs Son. Berry advised council Od- dleifson's motion E should be in- troduced at a late r time in the meeting for vote 13y council. The motion finally in- troduced by Od deifson and seconded by Ceci .1 Desjardine, deputy -reeve of S tephen„ 'own - ship recommend ed that the Executive Comn iittee be the senior committe e of council with power to, recommend "legislative chant ges, committee changes, bylaw updating, changes',in the standing rules and regulations, administrative changes a ._nd other organizational a matters leading ;fir t ao .;t }t e.,..„maantis n u lug : s m oert h "::.operation of th e county This was referred to the Executive Committee for consideration and :recommen dation.

The Vikings home -opener of the regular schedule will be played here today (Thursday) against St. Marys. Coach Donnelly plans to use 23 players in this game, to give experience to as many players as possible especially on defence.
