Henderson has recently --stated that "a - farmer should be allowed a lot on which to retire or to help get his children started on the farm." Merle Gunby, president of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture noted, these statements appear to run counter to government policies as outlined in the Food Land Guidelines publication. That guide states: "if a farmer who has' been farming a substantial number of years and who is retiring from active working life needs to sever one lot on which to build a house in which he Will you sell?... • from page 1 the firm plans to bring the lots onto the market as the need arises. He said the firm's marketing studies indicate Goderich is a town with steady growth and not a boom type town. He said Conklin believes the 96 lots will be needed in the next decade. He said the lots will not necessarily be developed fully by Conklin. but will be com- pletely serviced. He said individuals -will be able to purchase the Tots and build their own home if they choose to. Paul Harris, of Conestoga Rovers and Associates Ltd., of Kitchener, designers of the subdivision, told the sub -committee Conklin intends to retire - because the lot may subsequently be taken over by others and create problems for adjacent farm operations, the farmer should be encouraged to consider retirement in a nearby' village or town. Alternately, if a farmer wishes to retire to a relocateable house,on his farm, he should be permitted to do so. If a residential lot is required to provide ac- commodation for full- time farm help - this may be for hired help or family members (son or daughter) whose working activity is primarily devoted to the farm operation and where the nature of the farm operation requires this help to be accommodated close to the farm. This accommodation should be. provided as part of the needs some sort of indication from Goderich that it is willing to service the subdivision. He said the firm needs draft plan approval for the subdivision if it hopes to put a registered plan of subdivision on the 33 acre parcel of land in 1980. Harris said the subdivision plans have been to the ministry of housing and the province indicated it was only concerned with sanitary sewer installations. He said the ministry of the environment suggested a pumping station and force mal?n be included to get sewage out of the subdivision to the town's treatment plant. He added that both of those had been included in the draft Conklin was seeking approval for. Psych unit If council agrees in principle to sell services to the township Goderich would then be pressed ... into expanding its facilities. Ken Hunter, commissioner of works, said the development in the township, as well as development in the town, has been halted by the province pending expansion of the sewage treatment plant. He said no building permits could be issued for any lots until that expansion took place. McCabe said the town was committed to expanding the treatment plant in 1981. He said that committment was given to another developer to permit another subdivision to be built in the next two years. He added the town plans to double the capacity of the plant when it expands. The sub -committee sent a motion to council asking for approval in principle for the sale of sanitary and storm sewage services and water services to the township. If council agrees to that costs. for that servicing have to be established and methods of payment worked out. That will be the subsp .mmittee's next task. • from page 1 building a new psychiatric unit at AM&G, Dr. Conlon felt. Chairman of the board, Gordon Crabb, said the building committee had not examined any. alternate methods of financing the project. The board agreed that this should be priority assigned to the building committee, with a report to be brought to the board as soon as possible. Plans ' as outlined to the board Monday evening show alterations to the existing second floor of the hospital, the construction of a third floor and the placement of the present pen- thouse containing mechanical equipment, on a new fourth floor. Potter said the proposal is for a 20 -bed unit including eight semi -private rooms, two detoxification beds and two private rooms, as well as a dining room and livingroom and the necessary offices and staff working areas. The new space provided according to current used for more than one purpose. There woad be opportunity for expansion if more space were required in the future. Fetal monitor... • from page 3 of finance, urged the board to wait until Taylor was able to project a new budget for the board. Dr. Michael Conlon, also on the finance committee, said that as a doctor he recognizes the extreme need fora fetal monitor, but that as a member of the finance committee, he un- derstands the serious shortage of funds could result in some temporary staff layoffs if spending cannot be contained. Still the board voted eight to four in favor of the motion to approach the service clubs for funding for a fetal monitor, but to buy ,the equipment in any case. "We don't request equipment without looking pretty deep into the need for it," said Dr. Lambert. "This has been hanging fire for over a year. We don't want it for ourselves. We want it for the better care of the community. A fetal monitor is absolutely necessary and overdue." Dr.. Lambert also told the board there was a need to purchase `a gastroscope, an _in- strument used to examine a patient on the inside to determine if surgery is necessary. At present, patients have to travel out-of-town for this kind of examination. - Elmer Taylor said he believed that if AM&G had a gastrocope, there would be increased referrals here for examinations of this sort, particularly from around Huron County, and that there would be new in- come at the hospital because of this addition. The board also agreed to try to get some com- munity funding for the gastroscope which costs about $8,000. It, is un- derstand that the board intends to purchase this piece of equipment shortly as well.

Henderson sums up the No parking. ..- • from page I said in his career he has witnessed linemen being severely injured and even killed as a result of the signs and has no intention of risking that here. He said he realized it may be simple to remove the signs before climbing the poles but points out that it would be just as simple to put the signs on their own poles. "Why put them there in the first place?" he asked. The manager said there was never any in- tention to make the sign removal a surprise move adding that if any town employee or council member wants to discuss the matter "let them come". McCabe said the matter has to be resolved quickly so the signs can be put back up. He/ aid 14 were taken down Friday afternoon, most of them referring to parking regulations. -He said without the signs up the town may not -be able to enforce its parking bylaws. He added that once the mattetzis resolved the town will either put the signs pack on the poles they were on or erect poles. •. Both Searls and McCabe feel the utility is not co-operating with thg"town. Both felt the utility's sudden cont rn over the signs was petty pointing out We' practice is common in all municipalities. McCabe pointed out that the alternative was federation concerns, said Mr. Gunby. Since statistically so- called retirement homes are used for their original purpose for les, than five years, the, ,federation directors HCFof A would like tq know what proposals government to• -have each sign mounted on individual poles which seemed like am unecessary expense for taxpayers. McCabe said he was not interested in feuding claiming both /the utility and the town were owned by residents of Goderich. He said both should co-operate if both are to be of benefit to taxpayers. The, clerk acknowledged that some matters are handled exclusively by the PUC and some by/council but he added that both have to "co- operate or the system won't work". would bring forward to protect the agricultural industry from these non- farm interests. Permitting residential severances in an agricultural area is a very short-sighted policy that has historically caused harassment of farmers and created pressures for further development causing serious social and economic disruptions in our agricultural oriented communities according to the federation. The directors asked that the minister carefully consider the implications of the proposals THE TELEVISION PROGRAM YOU WATCH ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER4 ON (TV, MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE.
