The motion passedin a show -of -hands vote. Exeter Reeve Bill Mickle, estimating -that convention, and related expenses cost Huron County taxpayers "$100,000 or more annually", presented a motion, seconded by Goderich Reeve Harry Worsell, calling for a by-law or policy to be prepared, restricting all future attendances. The two reeves nad voted earlier against the county's 1986 budget and municipal appor- tionment precentages. Their motion was defeated. The wording of the motion had been questioned by several members. Reeve Tom Cunningham's (Hullet Township) at- tempts to have it referred to the executive. committee for review was called out -of order by Warden Armstrong, on advice of Clerk -Treasurer Bill Hanly, although the county's procedural rules clearly allow such referrals.

After considerable exchange of views and some procedural confusion, the subject was referred to the executive committee for consideration and recommendation back to the councillor a policy decision. The controversy seemed to grow out gf a recommendation in the monthly report of the road committee. The county, engineer requested permission to attend the Na- tional Road and Street Maintenance Con- ference in Las Vegas, Nevada, April 20-23, instead of the Canadian Public Works Con- ference in Ottawa which was approved at a previous meeting. The approximate cost was said to be the same, but the engineer" indicated that judging by the known agen- da, the topics to be handled at the Nevada conference might be more beneficial than the Ottawa agenda. The road committee recommended to the council that the county engineer be authorized to attend the Las 'Vegas con- ference. Observing -that in his opinion Reeve Mickle's subsequent motion, there is "a little too much going to conven- seconded by Reeve Tom Tomes (Stephen tions outside the province", Goderich Township), called for referring the entire Reeve Harry Worsell asked for a recorded subject of convention attendances and ex - vote.

Haydon says the positive affect Hebert's hunger strike had on the attitudes of Cana- dian youth would have been greater if the strike had lasted a little longer. "There is all this complacency and this 'how much money is in it for me' attitude in Canadian`tyouth that leaves me cold.
