(Spence) Cummings, Huron's i develoliment ,officer, . tabled a comprehensive report , of his work during 1973 and told council -that in his opinion, Huron County should establish a County Tourist Promotion Association to handle the in-' creased number of tourists ex- pected to, this area this sum- mer. "The world -vide shortage of gasoline and the desire of people for vacations indicate that we should have' ath influx of tourists this season" said Cummings. "1 am sure that the people in the northern° states will be motoring to Canada for their vacations this summer. I 'hope that the, operators of tourist' facilities are preparing • themselves for a big tourist' 'season." Cummings said he was plan- • ning to get .interested tourist operators from Huron together' to establish a County Tourist Prot -notion Association. He said a this assoc"ition should promote tourism in the' county from within their organization and eventually, this would relieve the county, of the responsibility • ..for promoting the tourist in-'' dustry through its development committee. The Sport Complex at. one time proposed for Vanastra has not had en support to' give •success to he venture, Cum= mings-"also repented: —H said - the former CFB Clinton had an arena, a gymnasium, a curling rink, --and Messes reserved far a : sports complex but decision has now been made to sell or rent each of these buildings separately to industry or to any other use.. • • The arena, for instance, is being used year round -now -for roller skating, Cummings said: Where industry for the countyas concerned, Cummings said the absence of available • rental space has been one drawback in all his 'dealings with industrialists. "The county residents, whether, public or private, can do something about the lack off" rental, space,"" Cummings said. Each area needs a starter • building for industry, a struc- ture that can be `divided info 'segments of 5,000 square feet. Most industries -require a place to set up. They will ' then ex- , • pand into other. 'segments of the CI' & T get 'money for '.equipment The tit -arch- C. P. and T. meeting was held at the home of,Sister Nina:, Arthur'v'iti r n • attendance of 12, with Sisteh Edith Craig presiding. The secretary Sister Ruth Hayden read the minutes and correspondence. • Brother Clifford Crozier gave the• treasurer's report and received several clonations for . the use of equipment. The wheel chair reports were given by 'Brother Amos Osbaldeston and Brother Fred Fritzley. Next meeting with be held on Monday, April 8 at the home of Brother Fred. Fritzley. building or build'a:buUding of their. own. • If they build, it is usually in the town in which, they first ...located." said Cummings. Cummings indicated one of the best industrial types to hope for is an industry which is related to the agricultural basis in Huron. He said Huron should not'have, to.compete.on the same basis with cities and towns along highways 401 and 400, and kelt that some' agricultural related industries should have some incentive to "move closer to their source of supply. "To establish a viable secon- dary economic base in the County we need tourism ;and some'• additional industry in ' each of our towns and villages," .said Cummings. There is hope fpr this, accor- ding to the county's 'develop- ment officer. He said enquiries by industry have increased over the last two months. "At - the present I am working with 17 companies at various stages of decision," said Cum- mings. "I would say that about half of these People arevery Serious . in their negotiations and I see no reason at the moment that they will change their minds." He said industrial com- missions in the various towns throughout Huron need help ,in establishing a planned in- dustrial area and in having _private _._deveLapers_.__bnild suitable, rental buildings. "This is the only way in- ' dustry will be attracted to our area,"- said Cummings. The budget for The develop- ment office is up this year to.. $33,300. Wage increases as well as other related. costs are •blamed for the hike.. The weed inspection budget . at ' $15,400 and the reforestation budget at $5,900 remain similar to last; year's. costs: SOCIAL NEWS Mr. and Mrs..
