Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1973-10-11, Page 8PAOR $—GODERICH SIG4AL-STAR, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1973 Christina Court residents want lights; pavement now The residents of Christina Court just off Bennett Street and about one-half block Froin Highway 21 are petitioning Goderich -Town Counrjl ; for street lights and pavement. Nine of the ten homeowners on Christina Court have signed a petition which was forwarded • to Town Council. They ask for "the immediate installation of street lights and the paving of our court". The petition explains the ,somewhat unusual lighting system on Christina Court. "Our individual street lights ate our responsibility and are turned off and on as we please", the petition pointed out, "leaving the entire court in darkness at times making night walks undesirable. A street light in the centre of the court would rectify this situation." The petition also notes that the unlit entrance to Christina Court is all but impossible to find at night. The Christina Court residents Also complain that . although they are paying taxes in Goderich, they .still have to contend with a "sandy gravel road, more sand than gravel, that becomes a maze of potholes after a rain". The petition noted, "The dust and dirt are problems too. Finally this summer after numerous calls to' the Public Works Department for something to settle the dust we were confronted with a tar -oil substance that was much worse than dust to clean up. Stone chips would ellminiif-et. the problem." "We .feel the town is not living up to us, the taxpayers of Christina Court," the petition concluded. The matter has been referred to the Public Works committee chaired by Reeve -Deb Shewfelt who noted he was not certain that the municipality has "ac- cepted the - road front the sub- divider vet". The agreement with Harold Shore, the subdivider, will be investigated in the near future. Says prices top concern continued from page 1 unusual time, and it will not last. Markets will settle down in the future. But, in the mean- time. we must be prepared to acv, and act promptly, to make sure that our fanners can stay in business producing the food we all need, both in- Canada and abroad." A third method,..,,of stabilization he proposed was a system of stabilization ...funds for specific .commodities whereby the government would collect a levy when the cash in- come was high and pay out when income was lbw. 'He stressed the feature was cash income, not high prices. High cash- income could come from either a large volume of sales= or high prices just as low in- come could come from low volume or low prices. Mr. Whelan also proposed a livestock insurance plan, similar to the crop insurance plan now in effect. He said this, together with the' other plans, would be an incentive for far- mers to stay in production or increase production. Mr. Whelan also reviewed the proposed national feed grains -policy and said the plan would give farmer in Huron security by _making sure they would have the grain they needed. to feed their livestock. _By . guaryantee-ing. feed . - ;.rain - producers a-minimuni..price_for, every bushel produced, he said, They have for the first time in ••• taistory, a guaranteed market for all they grow. This is impor- tant on the Prairies, he said, at a, time when the outlook is good for other crops they might be growing if they were n.ot guaranteed a .good price for feed grain. '• Part of the policy, he said, is to encourage feed grain produc- tion in the areas where it is used. "In the case of Huron County," he said, "that' means right here • where you have livestock. .We propose to sit down with the provinces, take a look at your potential to grow the feed grains., you need and offer help such as cash advan- ces, storage, handling, processing and marketing." He explained that the new ,,;policy makes it possible for eastern farmers to go directly to the West go get `their grains without having to deal through the Wheat Board as in the past. Mr. Whelan said Canada faces the challenge to ~supply a big part of the world with the food it needs. "t is disappoin- ting that many of the less for- tunate' countries, instead of having had their food produc- tion go forward, have seen it go back." Mr. Whelan said he will be attending what has been billed.. .as the most -important meeting ever of the World Food ``'"'Organization in November. He -maid-at present the world'foodd • distribution system:, -is terrible. Mr. Whelan said Canadian farmers like the idea of a world food bank, but they don't want AO be the banker without get- ting a fair interest. For too long, he said, it has been left up to the farmers to provide the food for the world without get- ting a proper return. Nearly everyone. todayc. he said, has guaranteed security, but far- mers don't. A farmer can be one of the most productive people around and put himself out of business because of it. When prices for eggs and pork were low, he said, not many people were going around asking why farmers were going broke. Now that prices are high, they're all asking why. The agriculture minister closed by saying "I think 1 can honestly say I haven't made any decision that 1 haven't,con- sulted with farm- leaders on first to get their opinion." Bailey ... continued from page 1 followed the regular county an- nual meeting saw four directors appointed to OFA. They were: Mason Bailey, northwest Huron; Jack Stafford, Nor- theast Huron; Morris Bean, central Huron; and Allan Walpar, south Huron. Police ... continued from page 1 past week, the Fort. las in- vestigated 127 occurrences. Of these, he said, 23 were of criminal nature. There were 21 'charges laid, he said, seven following the Criminal Code, 10 of the High- way Traffic Act and four of the Liquor Control Act.
