In an informal vote conduct- ed by Warden Anson McKin- ley, about 50 local elected representatives and clerks supported the establishment of such an authority to admin- ister the county's existing, or proposed, 350 units of public housing. Jim Schlicter, a represent- ative of the Ontario housing ministry's special committee on public housing manage- ment, told the localofficials a county -wide authority would permit more local input into decision-making and end dep- endence on other larger centres. Part-time housing author- ities now exist in Goderich and Clinton, he noted, but the management of senior cit- izen and low income hous- ing, which either exists or is proposed in Blyth, Bayfield, Brussels, Hensall, Wingham, Exeter and Seaforth, is in the hands of the Ontario Housing Corporation (OHC). J.V. Cook, branch manag- er for the OHC for South- western Ontario, told the officials housing in the north- ern portion of the county is administered from Kitchener while housing south of High- way 8 is managed from the OHC's London office. A county authority, Mr. Cook said, would provide a full-time housing manager and maintenance and clerical staff. The move to county man- agement could produce "staff economies" as well as "substantial economies in terms of (OHC staff) travel," he said. The establishment of a seven -member Huron County housing authority would not automatically mean the abolition of authorities in Goderich and Clinton, Mr. Cook said. The seven members --three appointed by the federal government, three by the provincial government, three by the provincial government and one by the county --would be Huron County residents and would serve on the management board without pay, he said. The proposed board would meet about 10 times annually, he suggested.

Several local representat- ives voiced strong support for a county authority, includ- ing Goderich Mayor Deb Shewfelt, who said it would "end the hit-and-run basis" under which existing author- ities operated.. Clinton Reeve Harold Lobb said he also supported the move and suggested the housing authority produce regular reports to county council. "Management and maint- enance have been our probI- em in Clintn," he said. Wingham Mayor Jack Reavie said a county authority would be "a good thing" if the details of its operation can be worked out. Brussels Reeve Jack McCutcheon said: "I know that we as a county can do better than the province can."

Teuchers set up fund The assembly of the Ont- ario Public School Men Teachers' Federation voted a budget of $38;000 for polit- ical education last week. However, delegates made clear that they don't want to become involved as a prov- incial body in elections. They were discussing the work of their Special Committee for Ongoing Political Educ- ation (SCOPE). "The committee's first priority should be develop- ing communication between staffs and boards," said Pres- ident Neil Davis. "It should be out of the electoral ball game." First vice-president Ron Stephen of Windsor said SCOPE has shifted its app- roach properly to involvement between staffs and boards. A motion to disband SCOPE was defeated overwhelmingly. It was introduced by Gary Barton of Prescott who said his district doesn't want their Federation telling them how to vote.
