Judge R. E. Hetherington, who administered the oath of office to Warden McKenzie ask- ed that county councillors re- dedicate themselves to "stream- line" their own, branches of gov- ernment • and to "harmonize" with all other phases of govern- ment inr.Canada: Judge Hetherington said county council might strive ,for a "lasting memorial, a, _record of its excellence in the per- formance of its duty.", Rev. J. Donald MacDonald, of North Street United Church in Goderich conducted a brief dev- otional service. Speaking to council, Warden McKenzie called the twelve months now li'eginning a "level- ling out year"' after the prob- lems of 1966, including wage agreement$• in the county. He urged members . to develop a greater appreciation for Cana- da during Centennial year and to . encourage appreciation in. others.

Scott told members attending the annual- dinner and meeting of the association in the Legion Hall on Monday evening. "The Chamber of •Corhmerce encompasses the whole commu- nity and has a particular respon- sibility to encourage a proper business climate. If it .doesn't function to this end it reflects an apathy on the part of the community", he said. "A pros- perous community provides for a better standard of living. At the same time we must keep sight • of the values which make life worthwhile." ",All constructive action springs from Belief in oneself. It has- been a tradition in Sea - forth that there is an ability here," Mr. Scott said as he -re- called residents of the town who had made their mark across Canada. Urging on his •listeners the necessity of generating a com- munity atmosphere in which youth would have a wide choice and thus be' in a position to make a maximum contribution, Mr. Scott said that too- often in the provision of facilities we reach a particular conclusion on the basis o'f :what we think we can do and afford, without try- ing for the best.

We must look .ahead, we must think of the future in terms of what we are doing to- day. We can only learn from the past, not change it. he warned.
