SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, MARCH 9, 1967
Time for Department to Act
Municipal Affairs Minister Spooner
again has 'urged Ontario municipalities
to adopt an official plan.
Addressing the Association of Rural
Municipalities in Toronto, the minister
was critical of the lack of action ap-
parent in so many Municipalities eon-
cerning this vital problem.
Again taking part in- an Ontario Fed-
eration of Agriculture conference on
assessment, taxation • and land use, he.
repeated his appeal and asked rural
municipalities for co-operation in plan-
ning to prevent exploitation and im-
proper and costly use of land with a
resulting decrease. in •.assessment value.
In the face of Mr. Spooner's plea it
is difficult to understand the difficulty
Seaforth is experiencing in obtaining
planning direction from the depart-
ment. Several months ' have elapsed
since council here first sought advice
as to further steps ,to take to bring into
being an official plane
As the demand for both urban and
rural land increases, municipalities aro
realizing the wisdom of looking ahead
in an. effort to ensure orderly growth.
Area towns either have active plan
ning. boards in , being and have adopted
official plans or are in the •process of
preparing plans.
While planning must start with an
individual town or township, nolong-
er is it possible for a ]municipality to
think only in terms of the land within
its boundaries. Invisable boundaries as,
for instance, those between Seaforth
and Egmondville or Seaforth and Har-
purhey or McKillop can do nothing to
_prevent the erosion of an' area unless
each is protected by a common plan.
Perhaps the exhortations of the min-
ister. are not enough. Perhaps it is
time for the government to provide
postive direction and assistance and
leadership before increasing pressures
on land in build up areas — be they ur-
ban or rural — create a situation which
can do no less than work increasing
hardships.. on.local taxpayers.
Municipal Dog Control Can Work
Dogs running-at.large, through .t
years; have contributed to many hou
of discussion by successive Seafor
councils.
Rut the discussion produced resul
and Seaforth proved that control' w
possible. With the services of a capab
control officer, encouraged by a dete
mined committee, the transient do
population was brought to heel.
The dog problem has come to the
forefront in Goderich and discussions
in Goderich council have prompted th
comment by the Signal Star who agree
that a suggestion that animal contr
pe approached from the county angl
could be the answer.
"Did. town council members who vo

I REST CONTENT
Just the otber night we had a
talk at our Honor Banquet
which Ieft me rather perplexed.
It was an Interesting, at
times exciting, address by one
of our Captains of Industry. No
less than the President of one
of our biggest producers of
processed .foods. A big cheese,
one might say, in the vernacu-
lar. American owned, needless
to say.
Perhaps .I should explain
what the .Honor Banquet is. It's
an occasion when . the students
who have obtained 75 per cent.
or more the previous year are
honored, along with their par-
ents. Again,' needless to say, it
is dull.
There's nothing much to say
except that these kids are in
the top 25 per cent., which even
they can ,figure out. And the
"banquet" runs more to potato
salad, a bottle of milk at each
place, and cold cuts, than it
does tri FaIerniazi wine, Lobster
Therrrrddor, and Baked Alaska.
But It's a gesture, ° anyway.
The athletes get a banquet,
with cups, trophies, Letters and
heartiness. The aids in drama
and nttteic get applause when
they perform. Least ewe can do
