THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28. 1946'
A PLAN FOR PORT ALBERT
successful Intennational Plowing, •Match, has been
ORT ALBERT AIRFIELD, scene of the recent very
very much "in the news" of lake. The reason for
this is that many residents of Western Ontario and beyond,
are of the opinion that something should be done to utilize
• this fine 'airport, buildings and adjacent property for some
worthwhile purpose, rather than to throw everythhig into
the postwar scrap heap.
'Suggestions regarding the ultimate disposal of the
taroperty originally were made while (the International
Plowing lVfartch was in progress. Most of them came to
• light in an informal manner, and were discussed merely
as such to avoid, if possible, (the demolitien of •the fine
buildings on the property.
Finally, the matter came before the Warden's Corn- .
mittee tof Huron County Count& After full consideration
that committee decided that no concrete proposals were
before the County at that time and that, therefore, nothino:
could be done by the' County until such proposals were
• forthcoming; othemise it might become a "white elephant'
on the County. This view was endorsed unanimously when
tilae report of the Committee came before the County
Council at the retent November Session.
At the next day's sitting of Council, the matter
was re -opened when a resolution waS presented that
Council arppoint one man from each municipality, not a
member of the County Council, to (study the agricultural
possibilities of the airport, and that from this group seven
be appointed to submit a toricrete plan to Council at the
June• 194T Session. This motion was lost on division.
•Suggestions up to that time chiefly centred around
the county fair idea, and the use of the property as a boys'
camp site. But the objections to these from financial and
other viewpoints seemed to outweigh rbhe benefits that
might be derived from the developmeq of either of the
above proposals.
The matter was brought up again the same evening
under slightly different auspices and from an entirely
different quarter. It was at Warden Sh(addick's Banquet
that Warden Tuer of Perth. County, in the (course of an
able speech, proposed that in view of the great scarcity of
hospital facRities existing he Canada at the present time,
the Port Albert buildings and property might be utilized
very successfully, as a convalescent institution for war
veterans tinder the aegis of the combined Counties of
Perth, Bruce and Huron. This idea, appeared to receive
considerable support from those in attendance at the
function, including Huron County Councillors, particularly
as 'Warden Pur suggested that maintenance and operation
of the hospital rightly sfhould be provided by combined
Federal and Provincial jurisdiction.
Like Huron County Council, The NEWS -RECORD
finds itself hi a quandary about the problem. No one would
like to See the fine buildings on the property demolished
and taken .away, but on the other hand, if the County ef
Huron alone were to attempt to handle the proposition,
the fthancial drain might be just a little too heavy. In view
of that fact, The NEWS -RECORD is of the opinion that
the Cormty Council Should not drop the whole business
but Should discuss the matter again from 'Warden Tuer's
angle. His proposals, on the face of it, seem to possess a
good deal of merit.

club the speaker suggested that it
be divided into eonimittees and that
groups 'consisting of a Commercial
section to deal with such matters as
by-laws and store hours; an Industrial
section to help out the industries in
town and also to promote new
dustries which probablywas one of

ricultural section, since this was an
agricultural district; and also a sec-
tion for civic activities.
