Little Interest Shown to Date in
Future Use of Clinton. CIF!B
At the moment the only thing
certain regarding the closing of
the Canadian Forces Base at Clint-
on is that it will cease to exist as
a military installation, Septemb-
er 1, 1971.
According to R. Spencer Cum-
mings, co-ordinator for I•luron
County's base development com-
mittee, things are almost at a
standstill as far as future plans
for the base are concerned.
"The closing is only a year
away and there still is no decis-
ion it will be released ro another
government agency, " he says.
"The government is still playing
around and it's not right. If other
goverrtntent departments don't
want it, they should make up
their minds and give Ontario a
chance at it."
Mr. Cummings says the indec-
ision of Ottawa leaves 1luron
County and Clinton in the posit-
ion of being unable to plan very
far ahead. Ile says the Ontario
government has been patiently
waiting for the federal govern-
ment to make up its mind.
The best hope is that the dep-
artment of transport may take
over some of the facilities as a
training school for its air traffic
controllers and radio operators.
It is this possibility that is a
frustration to Mr. Cummings and
others because prospects of an
early decision by Ottawa are nor
bright.
[Furors County's member of
Parliament, Robert McKinley,
says the air services school would

provide ideal accommodation for
the transport department, offering
all the necessary classrooms,
housing and equipment,"
"If the base is to remain open,
someone must run it like a col-
lege , a senior government or a
large industry, " says Mr, Cum-
mings, "Whoever that is, could
rent space to industry."
He believes one drawback to
industrial development at the base
may be the transportation factor.
It would cost more to transport
raw materials and finished prod-
ucts to and from Clinton than a
centre such as Kitchener,
But if this part of Ontario is to
be developed industrially, new
and better highways must be built
with more direct routes to major
markets.
"Industry is going into Quebec
with federal government aid and
there is no reason it couldn't
happen here, too, " he siad, "But
so far we have had no bite at all
from anyone in the private sector.'
Mr, Cummings sees the Clinton
base's greatest future in the ed-
ucation field with its many class-
rooms and other facilities, An
ideal would be the Transport dep-
artment taking over the air serv-
ices school and establishment of
a community college and some
industry,
"The county would like to see
it as an educational centre and I,
for one, would Mare to see it sold
PAGE FIFTEEN
in a piece -meal fashion,"
The promotional pamphlets
have been sent to several count-
ries in an effort to attract industry,
The gradual phasing -out at
Clinton will see about 100 of the
216 homes and apartments vacant
by Christmas. Permanent civilian
staff has already been reduced
from 256 to 198. This includes
wives of service personnel who
have been posted,
Meanwhile, Spencer Cummings
the Clinton council and Huron
;County's base development com-
Itnittee must patiently wait for
Ottawa to make a move.
In the meantime there is proof
the federal government does not
1.
intend to pull out of the Clinton
base leaving it in a shoddy run-
down condition.
