Continued from Page 1 every Tuesday evening at 8 p.m. for the next month. The plan, a more detailed version of the county's general official plan, will be used to control and to direct future growth in the township. The policies included in the plan will result from public input at the meetings. Penfold said it is still early in the planning process but it looks like the worries brought up at the introductory session will be the major questions to be dealt with. The county's planning policy is to protect good agricultural land wherever possible and Penfold said the people of Stanley Township seem to want the same. They are most concerned about strip or scattered residential land use in the areas south and east of Bayfield and south of Clinton, he said. The residents also want to know how much Lakeshore land the county intends to allow for cottages. All but 14 percent of the township's Lakeshore which stretches south from Bayfield for about eight miles is devoted to recreational housing, Penfold said, and much of what is left is unusable gully land. He said the resident want to know how many "tiers" of cot- tage housing will be allowed to spread back from the lake. The township is a strong agricultural area and has above average capability and production compared with the rest of the county. Despite that, he said, the township has a unique problem in the Bayfield area. In most far- ming areas there is resistance to the creation of small lots through severances but about 900 acres of land around Bayfield is Spe f already divided into lots of 20 acres or less, Penfold said. Penfold explained that much of the area around Bayfield had been included in a plan for a proposed town on the site drawn up in 1835. The village never grew to the size outlined in the plan but the small lots, still in the town- ship, are legal and thereis no way the township can 'prevent them being used for non -farming purposes without buying them. The lots now hold single- family dwellings, highway commercial buildings, a cemetery and a quarry among others. Many of the lots have not been developed: "The question - is whether to leave it as the status quo or to permit subdivisions to get more efficient use of land through urban development," Penfold said. The planner said the reaction may be to leave things as they are as the old plan seems to be a good one. It may have been ahead of its time by planning for a reduction of urban density as it moved away from the core area, Lots on the outskirts of the plan are three or four times as large as the central ones. The township may also have to prepare for a possible southward expansion by the town of Clinton, Penfold said. Many people in the town feel it needs more industrial land and it may move into Stanley Township to get it. Other areas to be dealt with in the plan are the extension of the township's existing urban areas of Brucefield, Varna, Kippen and Blake and the future of the land along the Bayfield River. The river forms the northern boundary for the township and Penfold said it is "relatively unique" in that it is a major potential recreational attraction but most of it is undeveloped. ctivit s held r nv'kW rest'*'ents There were a number of special activities at Huronview last week in honour of Saint Patricks and each area was decorated with shamrocks, green and white streamers, pipes and high hats. The celebration started on Monday with Old Tyme and Irish Music provided by Marie Flynn, Lorne Lawson, Norman Speir and Cecil Skinner. Nelson Lear sang a solo number "Galway Bay" accompanied by Elsie Henderson. Mr. Marshall Bell was welcomed to the Home. Mr. Ed. Zeale and the Clinton Christian Reformed volunteers assisted with activities. Mrs. Lyle Storey arranged and directed an Irish program for "Family Night". This program for Saint Patricks has been a tradition by Mrs. Storey for the past seven years and was rated by the residents as the best yet, The step dancers include Cheryl Cooke, Lynn Nigh, Tracey Wright, Lana Macintosh, Shelly and Sandra Finlayson, Daun and Debbie Flynn, Melissa Moffat, Lisa and Lynn MacDonald, Laurie Bell, Vern Sawyer, Madonna, Carol Ann and Ann Marie McQuaid. Vocal solos by John Garrett accompanied by his mother. Square dancing by Cheyline Glanville, Connie McClure, Debbie McLeod, Julie Ralph, Norris Flynn, Steven and Bill Glanville and David Garrick. Marie Flynn and Nelson Howe provided the accompaniment for the dancers. The Bradley Family sang some Irish melodies and Mrs. Leybourne, a native of Ireland, thanked the entertainers on behalf of the residents. The Goderich Womens Institute were hosts for the March Birthday Party. The President, Mrs. Holmes, brought greetings from the Institute and the program was provided by Mr. & Mrs. Allan Schramm in- strumentals, vocal duets by Muriel Harrison and Lyn Sigurdson accompanied by Mrs. Snyder, piano solo by Mrs. Hawkins, a reading by Mrs. Clairemont. Gifts were presented to the celebrants and Jenny Ruthledge expressed the ap- preciation of the residents. The tables in all of the dining rooms at the Home were decorated for Saint Patricks and set banquet style. The Huronview Orchestra and Nelson Lear toured the Home before dinner singing and playing in each of the areas. Elsie Henderson, Myrtle Parker and Ethel Hill played Irish music on pianos in three of the floors. atmosphere that has been created for these "Citizens of the World" at the Goderich facilities, and of the steady progress the residents are making in learning basic life skills. Some of them take training in pre-employment skills. The purpose of the centre is to help each one function at the optimal level of his or her abilities. Activities residents are involved in include a summer animal farm (which will be open to the public beginning on April a, ceramics, woodworking, cooking, packaging of products for industry, and a car wash and wax shop. They are paid regularly for the work they do. Volunteers are needed to help train these people, as most of it has to be done on a one to one basis. It is amazing what some of these mentally handicapped people can do when given patient help and training, The Bluewater Centre serves Huron, Perth, Grey and Bruce counties, and has ninety-six residents, plus a parental relief program where a few people can stay for up to three weeks while those who care for them have a holiday. The worship service was led by Marjorie, Margaret and Sandra Hayter, and special music was provided by Jill and Julie Armstrong. A delicious lunch was served by the Goshen ladies. Persona Is We'd like to express the sympathy of the community to Mr. & Mrs. Murvin Johnston in the passing, of Murvin's mother last Thursday. The flowers in the church on Sunday were from her funeral. Mrs, Florence Elliott is home from Toronto, where she spent several days with her son Bruce and family. Quilting course success The quilting course sponsored by the Zurich Women's Institute on Monday afternoon proved to be a great success. There were 18 members attended and they all felt the course was very wor- thwhile and also enjoyed it very much.
