While the majority of council agreed to go ahead with the advertisement, several agreed with Stanley Township Deputy Reeve Paul Steckle that the timing of the ads is bad. "In a country where we are striving for -national unity...in the best interest of the county we should not do this now." Turnberry Township Reeve Don Eadie told the meeting: "I think there is enough problem keeping people happy in Canada without going this far." Spence Cummings, county development officer, said after the meeting thatthe ads state only that there is industrial land available in Huron County and there is no enticement for Quebec industry to move here.

Davis asked Ontario municipalities not to take advantage of the Quebec situation. But Cummings said other municipalities are con- tinuing to advertise in Quebec markets as they have always done. "Every other municipality .is doing it and has for years. It has nothing to do with the unity question." Stephen Township Reeve Cecil Desjardine, who represents Huron Park where the Fleck strike is continuing, said he thought the county should concern itself with "handling" the industry here ' before worrying about more. Desjardine said he has calls from other received industries located in the park about the effects of the strike and that the township has had to watch as the labor dispute closed Canada Road, a township road leading to the industrial park. Elsewhere in the Development Committee report, it was recommended that Mr. Joe Gibson of R.R. 2 Seaforth be appointed Assistant Weed Inspector at $4 per hour for the balance of 1978 and the necessary by- law be passed. This recommendation was ac- cepted by council.

These industries are now required to have this done due to regulatory changes from the Ministry of Labour. At present time the Audio Technician is working ten months of the year and is granted a leave of absence for July and August. The proposed Industrial Hearing Testing could be carried out during the summer months if the Audio Technician were retained on an annual basis. A five dollar fee is proposed which would make the program financially self- supporting. County Council accepted the Board of Health's recommendation that the program be initiated and that Mrs. Shirley Steepe be retained on an annual basis rather than on a ten-month period. Huron County warden Gerry Ginn said it was a good chance for the Board of Health to expand its services for working class people. Also in the Board of Health report it was stated that Please turn to Page 3 Bean festival in England While Zurich Switzerland should be well known in England, the same could not be said for the community with the same name on the other side of the Atlantic. This may change as the Zurich Bean Festival will be a part of an exhibition at Ontario House in London England depicting Ontario's white bean industry. The display which is to be set up sometime in the fall, will feature pictures and description of the bean festival.
