ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS THURSDAY, JUNE S. 1971
MODA group meets in Goderich
(by Shirley J. Keller)
"It is not enough, in this
changing world, to have in your
head only what was there yester-
day, " stated James Hayter, Dash-
wood, president of Mid -Western
Ontario Regional Development
Council. He was speaking at
MORDC's Spring Conference in
Goderich last Wednesday.
The theme of the Conference
was People Planning For Peg31e
and attracted a large crowd of
interested persons from all over
Huron, Perth, Wellington and
Waterloo Counties, the area
served by MORDC.
Rev. John Huether, Zurich
provided the opening devotional
period and Warden Jack Alex-
ander, Wingham, also took part
in the meetings, bringing greet-
ings from the County of Huron
and outlining some of his
thoughts concerning development
in Huron.
The Restructuring Proposal to
encourage "the greater particip-
ation of people in the role of
regional development" was
presented by vice-president Allam
F. Ross, Harriston.
"One of the most significant
and meaningful changes that can
be undertaken by the Board of
Directors and the council
as a whole is to create five new
sections associated with the
Council made up of the follow-
ing: agriculture, education,
industry and commerce, tourism
and recreation, and community
affairs, " reported Ross.
"A restructuring of the Board
for broader and more effective
representation will give the
more heavily populated areas
of the region a stronger voice in.
Regional Development, " he coma
inued. "The proposed changes
will also give the same urban
and rural areas of the region an
effective voice in Regional aff-
airs."
"The cities in our region will
be given direct representation
on the Board if they become
members in the Development
Council, " Ross explained, "This
will be accomplished on the basis
on one representative directly
appointed to the board by a city
for each 50, 000 population or
part thereof."
"The counties will still cont-
inue to elect their representat-
ives on the zone -base -method, "
Ross said. "It may be considered
necessary to allow each county _
council, if membership held on
the development council, to
appoint one member directly to
the Board of Directors to repres-
ent county council."
Ross said "the man wearing
overalls" should be brought into
the picture when the future of
the region is being planned. As
well, he pointed out that educ-
ational authorities both the el-
ected members and the appoint-
ed staffs must play a role in
bringing about "a balanced com-
munity of basic economies and
social life."
"Through the educational
section of the Development
Council, the four -county public
school boards, three separate
school boards, three universit-
ie3, and a community college
all located within the Midwest-
ern region can be brought to-
gether as a vital group in assist-
ing in the total educational
process of the region, " stated
Ross.
Ross noted that industry and
commerce should be brought in-
to the Development Council"
as a viable section in which the
economy can be stimulated and
greater job opportunity created
for the people of the Midwest-
ern region."
He described the tourist ind-
ustry as having "great potential"
and said a section devoted to
tourism and recreation with the
Development Council can help
to stimulate the tourist economy
and promote travel within the
Midwestern region."

Swim with a buddy. It's more
fun and much safer. Keep in the
swim with Red Cross water safety
