Agree -Mu:nicipalities on.:
ODA Zonal Council ••
Rejecting proposals to create
a MODA zonal council for Hur-
on of 14 members and 33 mem-
ber representatives at a meet-
ing in Goderich Thursday iom-
promised on a council of 38
members. It will include rep-
resentatives of municipalities in
the county.
Now that Huron County is to
have a zonal council of Mid-
western Ontario Developtnent
Association, manager Bill Ur-
quhart of Stratford and Moda
president Orville Wassmann,
Grand Bend, asked the meeting
in Harbor Light Inn, Goderich,
to select the type of represen-
tation best able to provide the
views of a 'broad cross-section
of the county.
Huron County councillors who
had convened with the Moda
group after their regular April
sitting held in the morning and
delegates from the federation
of Agriculture and the conser-
vation authorities who had been
invited to attend agreed after
hot debate that local municipal-
ities should be given a voice on
" the Huron zone council of Moda.
The proposal most.accePtable
to 15 voters called for two rep-
resentatives from county coun-
cil, one from eaeh municipal
council (including Grand Bend),
one from each conservation
authority, one from the federa-
tion of agriculture and one
from the tourist council — tot-
al, 33.
Sixteen persons in attendance
felt that Warden Cal Krauter,
the Industrial and Tourism com-
mittee of County Council head-
ed by Reeve Herbert B. Such,
Goderich, and two representa-
tives each . from the federation
of agriculture and conservation
authorities and the tourist coun-
cil would be ideal — total 14.
In the discussion which fol-
lowed Stephen Township Reeve
James Hayter repeatedly stated
that he was in favor of the
smaller group since it was 'so
difficult to get people out • to
meetings. He felt that local rep-
resentation was good but claim-
ed there was not sufficient in-
terest or understanding at: the
municipal level to prompt dele-
gates to attend meetings at
which they would receive no
remuneration.
Hayter said the committee of
county council would work hard
in the interests of all municipal-
ities and would certainly keep
all municipal councils informed
about progress and decisions.
"This committee would func-
tion the same as the road com-
mittee which considers the
whole of Huron County," added
Reeve Hayter.
• "The Town of Wingham wants
a voice on this zonal council,"
said Jack Alexander, deputy -
reeve of Wingham.
"Hensall is as much a part of
Huroh County as -Goderich is,"
interjected Reeve Mineie Noakes
of Hensall who stated her vil-
lage wanted a representative on
this zonal couecil.

McKillop Reeve Ken Stewart
pleaded with delegates at the
meeting to give local municipal-
ities a voice. He said it was a
pilot project in Huron County
to set up a zonal council to
formulate plans for the econ-
omic growth of the area and
needed .the views of all munici-
palities and from as many peo-
ple as possible.
Alvin D. Smith, Turnberry,
noted that it Was the "demo-
cratic system" and should be
used in this instance. Reeve El-
gin Thompson, Tuckersmith,
asked how councillors could go
back to their municipalities
efforts on behalf of the society.
