sion of council because T, A,

ete the document in time,
However, the plan is espected
to be presented early in the new
year hopefully Tanuary - and
council adopted a schedule to
make certain that all municipal-
ities are fully informed about its
contents,
The initial meeting of the plan.
ning board is set for Tuesday,
Tanuary 26 at which time the prop
osed official plan will be present-
ed to them, At the next treeting
of the planning board, Tuesday,
February 11, the planning board
proposed official plan will be dis-
cussed fully by board members.
The document would then be
presented by the planning board
to county council during the Feb-
ruary session as a matter of in-
formation. The proposed official
plan will be sent to each local
council following the February
session.'
The local councils would then
be requested to have any written
comments concerning the prop-
osed official plan in to the sec-
retary by March 19. Council
agreed that each municipal cou-
ncil would have the right to re-
quest that a member of the plan-
ning board attend their meeting
and answer questions about the
proposed official plan.
The planning board will meet
March 24 to discuss comments
from the local municipalities.
The planning board will arrange
public meetings to discuss the
proposed official plan early in
April and would meet again in
the latter part of April to review
all comments regarding it.
The planning board would then
redraft the proposed official plan
for presentation to county coun-
cil.
The chairman of the planning
board, Anson McKinley, told
council councillors that to date,
eight applications have been re-
ceived for the position of planning
director for Huron County, He
said the applicants are from as
far away as Victoria BC, Halifax
and the USA.
Hugh Flynn, a definite candid-
ate for the wardenship in 1971,
expressed his desire that the new
planning director to be engaged
eventually by county council,
would be a native of Huron Coun-
ty or at least, someone familiar
with rural municipalities.
The chairman pointed out that
these men are used to "being re-
educated" to geographical locat-
ions but concurred with Flynn
that a man with a knowledge of
things rural would be a definite
asset in Huron,
McKinley predicted that the
Huron County planning staff wale
likely grow in the future to a staff
of three people. He estimated
that initially, the planning dir-
ector would be paid approximat-
ely $10, 000 per annum.
"The people in Toronto are
watching this with a great deal of
interest, " said McKinley. "This
is a pretty important document,
In fact, I think the official plan
is one of the most important
documents in the corning year,
It will set out what we think
should take place by way of dev-
elopment in the county, There

Hears Monologue
On Post Offices
Zurich Women's Institute mem-
bers enjoyed their December meet-
ing at the Hay Township Hall.
Mrs. Newell Geiger highlighted
the program by capably present-
ing a monologue, "Christmas
nears. "
Scene was the Post Office, She
told of the many problems a post-
master has to overcome such lett-
ers, cards or parcels with no stamp
no address, parcels carelessly wrap
ped, customers asking for cord to
tie parcels, a regular customer
with a regular habit, just puts his
pile of letters and cards with mon-
ey for stamps saying, "you put the
stamps on those, you have more
time than I have. "
At Christmas it is carols by the
thousands, all sizes and shapes.
Mrs. Tetreau read an interest-
ing poem, "Giving Time." She
stressed, "give your time, all
year round, and the best thing you
can give is, your smile, "
A hearty sing -song of Christmas
carols and request numbers were
enjoyed.
Mrs. Lorne Klopp conducted
the business. Reports were that,
the group catered to a noon lunch
for the 150 men attending the bear
board meeting. About 55 Zurich
Centennial band members and
families were served a hot dinner
at the Hay Township Hall on Nov-
-;mber 10. The first drapes for the
Hall windows gave the atmosphere
a comfortable homey feeling.
A $50 donation was made to
the Zurich Band; $10. donation to
War Memorial Hospital, and $15.

United Churches
Discuss Changes
On Wednesday December 16,
members of the Rural Life Com-
mittee of Huron Perth Presbytery
of the United Church, met with
representatives of Official Boards
of several churches in the area
to consider the prospect of closer
co- operation, re -alignment or
consolidation.
The meeting was held in Em-
manuel United Church. Rev
John Huether, a member of the
Committee conducted the wor-
ship and chaired the meeting.
Rev. Bert Daynard outlined some
possibilities that could be cons-
idered for the Bayfield, Dashwood
Varna -Goshen and Zurich churche
that are involved and these will
be discussed by the churches.
Refreshments were served by
the host church to the more than
30 representatives who attended.
CARDS WERE GENERAL
Most of the popular Christ-
mas cards of the later 19th
century in Europe had no
particular Christmas signifi-
canoe. There were some man-
ger scenes and others of re-
ligious nature, but these were
far outnumbered by land-
scapes, .flowers, kittens, and
similar subjects.
Best wishes for a holiday season
filled with happiness and good cheer. And
sincere thanks for your patronage.
