WATER MAIN BREAKS — This k the first broken water main in the village of Zurich this year, but PUC
manager Charlie Eckel says the main on Victoria Street where the break occurred is part of the old system
which was not replaced when the new lines were laid. As a result Mr. Eckel says it is quite possible the main
simply rusted out, although the deep frost this year would not help matters any. photo by McKinley

The University of Guelph Rural
Development . Outreach Project
(RDOP) has announced the
selection of Huron County as its
first pilot area.
RDOP director Tony Fuller
states that Project represen-
tatives will begin working in
Huron County this year.
The RDOP staff describe
Huron as being the most
balanced county to represent a
traditional rural area.

municipalities of
Haldimand-Norfolk among
others are being considered for
this pilot area.
Through the RDOP, explains
Professor Fuller, the University
of Guelph hopes to contribute to
the process of rural development
in Ontario by sharing more of its
resources with rural people. The
Project was initially funded in
September of 1975 by a $557,350
grant from the W. K. Kellogg
Foundation of Battle Creek,
Michigan.
The purpose of this seed
money, says Professor Fuller is
to find out what a university
community can do to meet the
needs of rural people and
whether or not such a type of

program should be part of a
university's role.
One of the major reasons for
choosing Huron is because the
county has already opened the
channels to reach the people.
Huron is currently involved with
rural planning at the municipal
level, 'explains Professor Fuller,

Chamber he has received a list of
34 students from the Zurich
public school who are willing to
,4 l -snow for senior citizens in
the community.
Dr. Wallace was reappointed
as the Chamber's representative
to the Bluewater Rest Home
Board of Directors.
The Chamber paid a $25
membership fee to join the South
Huron Association for the
Mentally Retarded.
Glenn Thiel reported to the
Chamber on the progress of the
annual Sauerkraut supper. This
year the supper will be held on
April 20 and Mr. Thiel hopes to
have tickets available by the
March meeting of the Chamber.
Ms. Lumb noticed the date set
for the sauerkraut supper
especially appropriate.
Sauerkraut is a German dish and
April 20 is Hitler's birthday.
involving township residents in
the development of township
planning.
The planners are well equipped
to handle the physical aspects of
townships planning, he adds, but
they feel unable to answer many
questions which deal with the
social and cultural implications
of rural planning and develop-
ment. The proposed integration
of social and physical planning
will be really unique in this
province, says Professor Fuller,
"The idea of rural planning and
developing it with people in the
townships we think is terrific,
and we'd like to be a part of
that."
Through this initial contact
with people, the RDOP staff,
headed by Lynn Graham,
program assistant, hopes to
launch other activities. The in-
volvement with township plan-
ning will be limited to one par-
ticular township, not yet chosen
but the RDOP will also be in-
volved on an overall county level.
Members of the university
community will consider
requests from any village,
community or individual in
Huron County. This Professor
Fuller stresses as one of the main
objectives of the RDOP; to offer
assistance where a need is
defined and expressed by the
rural people themselves.
