"Planning problems are not local any more. What is the use of planning unless you know what your neighbor is going to do? The leadership must come from the county lev- el." -Mr. Pearson told the audience that one of the basic problems with county government was whether or not the councillor was voting as a representative (if the county or his own munici- pality. The two-day workshop con- sisted of a question andan- swer period with the delegates probing - into the problems of planning at all 'levels. At the conclusion of the workshop, Mr. Pearson describ- ed the proceedings as being "surprisingly effective".

(Continued on Page 6) (Continued on Page 6) Hibbert Co-op Reviews Year's Activities the board approved a move to request a reduction in the number of pupils required to attend Clin- ton. Under the existing 'agree- ment, SDHS guarantees to send 15 per cent of its enrolment, and the- board is asking that this be reduced to five per cent. Similar action already has been taken by Exeter and Goderich boards. Under the proposal being con- sidered by the board, certain courses now being taught in Clinton would become avail- able here, thus eliminating the necessity of -moving more than 100 students each day. Already Council Reduces Police Force to 3 • Seaforth's police force was ,reduced to three men Monday morning when council at spe- cial meeting terminated the services of a constable. The motion adopted by coun- cil read:. "WhereaS the Ppllce Act, sec, 17 (b) authorises the council of a municipality to dis- pense with the services of any constable within one year of his appointment to the police force, the services of Constable Elgin McNeil are terminated immediately." Decision to reduce: the torce was taken at an informal gath: ering of council members held Friday evening. It, was formal- ly implemented at the Monday morning meeting. Reduction in the strength of the force followed continuing discussion in council concern- ing the cost of policing in Sea - forth as compared to other area centres.

"Decision. to enlarge the force followed a report by Councillor 'John 'Flannery of the protection., to persons com- mittee. He said police had pointed out they were working long hours -in some cases up to 70 hours a week. In addition, there were . regular occasions when' part-time help was em- ployed.

Suggesting that the rights of minorities within the school area were being ignored, coun- cil unanimously adopted ,a reso- lution setting out its, position: "That this council of the Vit. lage.of 'Hayfield having -tong& ered -the wishes of-. an oyes- whelMing Mijdrity by the t. payers and parents of this vil- lage and a large majority of the ratepayers and parents of the former School Sections No. 3 'a-nd No. 4, does declare itself strongly opposed to the remoVal of elementary school facilities from Bayfield. "Further, because of geogra- phic consideration, economic factors and population trends, it would seem in the interests of the whole Stanley Township School Area that two rodms should be added to the present comparatively new Hayfield - school to provide two four- • roomed scfiool units for Bay- field and the western portion of Stanley Township, and this council recommends that such action be taken."
