FIRE DAMAGES HOUSE The house owned by Mrs. Francis Saur in the village was badly damaged when fire broke out on Friday night around 10 p.m. Firemen were on the scene from Brussels, Blyth and Ethel. The fire had gotten quite a start in the clothes dryer by the time Mrs. Saur smelt smoke and sounded the alarm. Mrs. Saur had been living in the former Roy Bennett house till only a few weeks ago when she moved over to the house formerly owned by the late Jean Broadfoot. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Huether attended a dinner on Tues- day evening at Goshen Unit- ed Church, Varna in honour of Mr, Watson Webster who is a 60 year member of the Orange Lodge. The Easter Spring Thank Offering Service of the U.C.W. was held in the church auditorium of Duff's United Church, Sunday evening. Churches of sur- rounding villages were pre- sent. The Rev. Bruce Eaton of Stratford was guest, showing slides of Somolia. Special music was supplied by the Wilbee family. Name change for committee The property committee of Huron County council has a new name, one which is hoped will reflect the agricul- tural diversity of the county. The committee will now be known as the Agriculture and Property committee. The name change was approved by Huron County council at its March 31 meeting. Howick Township Reeve William Newton commented that the name change was one of the suggestions coming from the annual meeting of agricultural organizations and the property committee. "It was their (agricultural groups) suggestion that one of the committees have agri- culture in it," said Reeve Newton. A resolution from the agri- cultural groups requesting the 1980 level of staffing at the Clinton office of the Ontario Ministry of Agricul- ture and Food (OMAF) was also approved by county council. Since 1980, the OMAF office is less. one secretary, one home economist and one extension assistant. Agricul- tural representative Don Pul- len said the naming of a rural organization assistant is "hopefully imminent". The resolution is to be forwarded to the Minister of Agriculture and Food Dennis Timbrell. WHYTE—VAN BAKEL Regina Van Rakel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Theo.

Grey township councillor, Murray Bray questioned the reaction of the tax rebate at the recent provincial meeting. John Nesbitt replied, "There doesn't seem to be many counties excited about the proposal. Only about three or four. The minister of agriculture. Dennis fimbrell, assured us that it would he written in the legislation that property rights would not be lost and foreign owned land would not be able to apply for the rebate. 1 suggest we pass a motion to take the Huron county stand to the provincial meeting." STALLING "We are entering into a stalling situa- tion." stated the reeve of Stanley township, Paul Steckley. "It scents the federation in general opposes the 100 per cent tax rebate. Let's discuss it tonight and present it to the province." An unidentified spokesman was concerned that the true feeling of the county was not being realized. "1 feel this meeting is stacked by those in opposition to the rebate.' A frustrated Mr. McQuail explained the proposed tax rebate was announced in various farm related publications in 1981. Noting there was no opposition in 1981. he said: "much of this discussion has now re -surfaced. If I sin going to represent the federation as president. I feel the whole membership should he represented." The reason for a special meeting, Mr. McQuail explained is because, "I just have a real Insecurity that tonight's meeting is only a representative of the whole membership. "Let's make sure the democratic structure of the federation remains intact. Democracy has to he made to work and work fairly," explained Mr. McQuail "The committee was agreeable to hold a special meeting. 1 have no desire to sabotage any specific group. 1 feel have to represent the whole of the county." A resident of Ashfield township compli- mented Mr. McQuail for representing the majority of the county. He insisted that the federation, "go back to the grassroots and speak for them all.'' Mr. McQuail agreed, "what the grassroots say'is very important. Therefore 1 am calling a special meeting to be held April 19 in the Clinton high school cafeteria at 8:30 p.m. so we can be sure of our position. -- Another spokesman asked if this date allowed time following the meeting to draft a proposal to present at the provincial direct- ors meeting the following day. Federation director, Jim McIntosh stated, "this has to be discussed much earlier, within the next seven days." "I believe time is being wasted", shouted Mr. Dalton. "1 don't believe this meeting is stacked. If it was, there would be people standing outside the door." Noting the 11:00 p.m. adjournment pro- cedure, Mr. McQuail raised his gavel and announced the meeting was adjourned. (Editor's note: The special meeting to discuss the proposed 100 per cent tax rebate will be held Thursday, April 14, 8:30 p.m. in the Clinton high school gymnasium.
