r warden's chair
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
GODERICH: Two reeves will vie for the position of
warden at Huron County's inaugural meeting on Dec.
8.
Reeve Harold Robinson of Howick Township and
Reeve Grant Stirling of Goderich Township are stan-
ding for election.
Reeve Robinson; who Ls making his second attempt
for the Warden's chair (he was defeated in a 16-15
vote by present Warden Fred Haberer of Zurich), has
served the county since June of 1965. He started in
municipal politics as a councillor in January of 1965,
and became a deputy -reeve in June when the, reeve
vacated his seat. Howick no longer , has i deputy
reeve sitting on county council.
He was out of office from 1973 to 1976, at which time
he served on the land division committee. During his
time on county council he has served on property,
social services, warden's personnel, Huronview,
development, executive and roads committees. He
has been chairman of property, Huronview and social
services committees.
Reeve Robinson said the biggest challenge in 1982
will be to fight inflation. Wages are a particular con-
cern of Reeve Robinson's.
Reeve Stirling first sat on county council as
Goderich Township's deputy -reeve in 1 s 1. In 1964 to
1966 he was reeve, and then left county council for six
years. He was first elected to township council in the
fall of 1954.
As a county councillor he has served on the
agricultural, roads, Huronview, executive, social ser-
vices and health committees. He has been chairman
of the roads and social services committees.
Reeve Stirling agrees with Reeve Robinson's con-
cern for inflation, stating, "we must practice as
much restraint as we can." While he is aware county
council is limited as to what it can do to fight infla-
tion, Reeve Stirling said it should do what it could.
The election and inauguration of Huron's 1982
warden will take place at Huron County Courthouse
on Dec. 8 at 2 p.m.
No bulldozers tomorrow
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
GODERICH: Huron County planner Gary David-
son reassured county council there would be no
bulldozers in Ashfield Township "tomorrow".
The recent announcement by Ministry of Environ-
ment officials stating South Cayuga had been turned
down as a possible landfill site, has encouraged
rumors of possible sites. Ashfield Township has been
mentioned as one.
At county council's November meeting, Mr. David-
son said his department had not received any infor-
mation from the ministry and he hopes the govern-
ment will involve the county in any planning.
"We'll just keep up with it...and if there is anything
significant, we'll report it to county council," said
Mr. Davidson.
Reeve Warren Zinn of Ashfield Townshipsaid he
knew of no work being done in the towtship, but add
ed it is a concern m his area that a landfill site may be
established there. He asked for the support of Huron
County and of Bruce County which borders the
township.
"I'm very much opposed (to a landfill site)," said
_ Reeve Zinn.
Warden Fred Haberer of Zurich said he had written
a letter to environment minister Keith Norton, asking
to be let in on anything taking place in Huron. No
nswer has yet been received.
this time, there is no action we can take," said
"At
the warden.
Reeve William Elston of Morris Township, chair-
man of the planning committee, said a landfill site is
one thing the county doesn't want.
"There are some things we have to accept, others
we do not, we don't have to accept this," said Reeve
Elston.
Levesque advocating lost cause
Dear Editor,
Does Rene Levesque from
Quebec, have the power of
veto to stop the repatriation
of the proposed Constitution?
In my opinion, 'the
evidence he is going to use to
support his claim, can be
likened to a very thin strand,
such as a spider uses to
dangle from a given point. In
view of the fact, I. believe
that he went against the
mandate given to him by the
Quebec electorate, which
voted against separation.
The fact that he did not
sign the Constitution does not
support the will, of the
majority of people of
Quebec. However, one must
assume that the existing
Constitution (the B.N.A.
Act) is still in force, until it is
replaced by the proposed
Constitution. As it is now,
there is a clause that states
that revisions or amend-
ments cannot be passed
unless Ontario and. Quebec
are members of the
majority.
The question in my mind
is, would this clause be valid
when compiling a new
Constitution? They now have
an amending formula,
whereas prior to this, they
did not have one. It would
seem feasible, in my mind,
that this clause should yield
to the new amending for-
mula of the proposed Con-
stitition that was passed by
the majority.
Because of the fact that the
existing Constitution is still
law, I. believe that Rene
Levesque can delay the
repatriation. My personal
opinion is that all disputes
should be decided here,
because after all, this is the
main reason for repatriating
the Constitution, se that we
may have jurisdiction over
our conventional and legal
affairs.
To burden England with
these matters is defeating
the purpose of repatriation:
In a certain sense it is a split
decision. On the other hand,
because Rene Levesque
acted against the mandate

If he cannot solicit support

Constitution becomes law.

Walkouts not always for money
Dear Editor
As a mine worker for over
21 yeara I have seen a lot. I
have seen od men taken
from the mine injured and
some never to return home.
How we pray for them and
their fatalities and hope It
never happens again..
Yes, we have had a
number of walkouts. But,
what local people fail to
understand is it's not always
for money but safety.
Walkouts are about the
only way we have to fight big
companies that are managed
by people in city offices.
They are, not familiar with
everything that goes on in
the workplace.
The first few years were
learning years for all of us
with good training, safety
and a clean work place
where we all worked
OPP

barn fire
LISTOWEL - The Listowel
OPP • is continuing its in-
vestigation of the October
23rd fire that destroyed a
barn at RR 1, Newton.
This was the third fire in
three months to have
levelled a building owned by
Murray and Joyce Riddell of
Mornfngton Township.
On April 30th, a beef barn
was destroyed by fire and on
May 24th, implement sheds
and farm equipment were
burned. In 1976, the Riddell's
main dairy barn was razed
by fire.
together. And then safety
training and work habits
went down hill Why?
The last two walkouts were
over safety with the com-
pany filing law sults against
us. The last strike was for 12
weeks with about 21 days of
meetings and about 18 days
were spent of safety. Why?
We now have the ground
rules to work on and with the
help of all it will not, take
another2l years.
Yours truly
Not a disheartened miner
