(Rod Hilts photo) 1?esults show Huliet feed agriculture is top priority By Rod Hilts IANDESBORO - Hullett Town residents feel that agriculture is the highest priority land use, according to results from a summary meeting of the municipality's proposed secondary plan. The meeting was held to summarize the issues of agriculture, natural environment, urban and extractive resources on the - township's proposed land use guidelines. • Those attending were allowed input into the proposal through a 19 -question survey given at the meeting. Wayne Caldwell from the Huron County Planning Department said the overall response. to five public meetings held to discuss the plan was excellent. An average of between 45 and 50 people attended each meeting. "It was rather difficult to evaluate the meetings. There were some items of consensus and some differenceof opinion," Mr. Caldwell said. • • The planning department will be working on the preparation of a draft plan, which will be reviewed by the township council over the next several months. In the fall, the public will be invited to attend a meeting to view and comment on the preliminary secondary plan. The opinions arising out of _.r. the--past_fly_e uorksh.ops..will._be_the_inajor input into the secondary plan. Severances split Severances for retirement purposes or sons and daughters in agricultural areas was a split issue. On, the questionnaire, 14 out .of the. 28 people surveyed agreed that severances for that purpose should not be allowed. Twelve persons said they should be allowed and two people were undecided on • the issue. On the question whether surplus residences should stay with the original farms and not be severed, 16 people were opposed. Eight people agreed and four were undecided. The strongest consensus came on the question of "allowing viable agricultural operations of any .size to operate. Twenty- two people agreed that they . should be allowed to operate and 15. of those people strongly agreed. .Two disagreed and two were undecided. Mobile home placement Allowing mobile homes as a part of a farm. unit received 23 votes of support. Only three people opposed them on that basis and two were undecided. However, the question of mobile homes ( single wide) locating in mobile -home parks in the hamlet, brought about only 16 supporters. Four disagreed with restricting them to mobile home parks and eight people were undecided. Growth restrictions Nineteen people agreed that non-farm development should be urged to locate in the hamlets. Seven people disagreed and two were undecided. Twenty-six people said residential growth should be allowed in the hamlets. Two people were undecided. These figures indicate the residents do not wish to have residential areas set . up on prime agricultural land. In the area of commercial development, 24 persons felt that it should be allowed in the -hamlets. Two people were undecided. Twenty-four residents agreed that agricultural commercial uses should be allowed in the agricultural areas ( although directed towards marginal farmland). The residents were in favor of being notified ( rezoning) before a new commercial use is established in the hamlets. Buffer zones Sixteen people supported the idead of a buffer zone between residential and farming uses. .Eight people disagreed and four r were undecided. The protection of specified areas in the township received a mixed reaction on the survey.. Twenty people agreed that the secondary plan should protect woodlots. Two disagreed and six were undecided. Sixteen people were in support of the plan protecting wetland areas 10 acres and larger. Four- disagreed and eight were undecided. Marginal farmland Eighteen people agreed that marginal farmland should stay as a. part of the farm unit. Seven disagreed and three were undecided. Twenty-one residents agreed that local residents should be notified (plan amendment and rezoning) before a new commercial gravel pit is established. Three disagreed and four were undecided. Twenty-one residents felt the plan should 'maintain river valleys as a natural environment area. Four people disagreed and three were undecided. Twenty-one residents_ agreed that intensive recreational development is not compatible with agriculture. Three disagreed and four were undecided. Conclusion Londesboro resident Bob Trick said the questions asked in the survey were vague and cautioned that council should review them carefully. Mr. Caldwell said that there is always problems with questionnaires. He said it will hopefully give council an idea of the thoughts of the people who had attended the meeting but had not given an opinion. Summary meeting Chairman Mel Knox added that in order to be more specific you might need to ask 200 questions. Mr. Trick asked Mr. Knox and Mr. Caldwell what the public could do if they did not agree with the plan that is to be presented in the fall. "You could object at the public meeting or in writing. Council may be able to alleviate your concerns or you may carry your objections to the Ontario Municipal Board," Mr. Caldwell said. Environment Ontario awards $133,000 for soil penetration study The penetration of hazardous liquid spills into soil and groundwater is the focus of a research grant of $132,750 awarded by Environment Minister Andy Brandt. "The study will develop a computer model we can use to predict the extent, the spreading and the penetration of dangerous liquids in soil," Mr. Brandt said. The model will be developedfrom laboratory test data and evaluated by comparing them with data ALEKTRIC/AN "SAYS WHEREVER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS DO Eng Wig' /S A CHALLENGE WE 1_ RESIST //L Barry Buchanan 3-PHASE ELECTRIC CLINTON 482-7374 Til!

Eventually penetration charts combined with model data will allow the development of experimental methods to study the effects of dangerous liquid spills on the en- vironment. The grant has been awarded to Drs. George Farquhar and Edward McBean of the University of Waterloo. The funds fns this three-year study are. provided by the Provincial Lottery.

Since this amendment, the lives of over a half million Canadian babies have been willfully destroyed. This is a loss of life greater than the number of Canadian soldiers killed in action in both world wars (about 106,000) . The law concerning abor- tion is bad because it permits the killing of innocent human life. about abortion. The film, "Assign at - Life" was shown on Feb. 26, on CKNX-TV.
