punctxiated a crowded one-day
.session of Huron county council
>on March 25.
. A record budget of $3,138,375
, ((including., provincial grants)
•was approved; a grant to Blue-
‘WRiter Rest Home at Zurich
turned down again; an arbitra-
•tqr appointed in th'e Tqcker-
•smiilth school case) and,.a num

Closest vote of the1 afternoon,
19 to 18, authorized county
membership in Midwestern Ont-
’ aiiio Development Association
.at a fee of $5,350, which cov
ers toe local municipalities,
"Hie amount was added to the
■already presented 1966 budget.
•Councilors did not like the idea
<of trying to collect from mun
icipalities not in favor of join
ing.
Midwestern membership came
up in a report of toe warden’s
and personnel committee, which
made no recommendation. At
iSuggestion of Reeve Grant Stir
ling, Goderich township, toe re
port was taken clause by
clause, with Reeve Stewart
’Procter of Morris piesliding
•over committee of toe whole,
“What are. the benefits: for
.a rural municipality?" enquir-
<ed deputy reeve Delbert Geiger
of Hay.
“We are trying to broaden
out our program-,” replied' W.
•G. Urquhart, general manager
.of MODA, “and make industrial
and agricultural benefit more
.meaningful for toe four-county
area. The Federation of Agrli-
-culture joins us at zone level,
.and1 has two official representa-..
fives on toe committee to ad-
■vlise on agricultural matters.
“Governments are coming to
•use the development associa
tions more than in the past.
’Nearly everything is becoming
regional; Legislation is coming
' .along, but we are asked not to
say it publicly 'at present." •

CLINTON EXETER — SEAFORTHdoor they could not do by the
front. Our township has never
belonged, doesn’t -want to be
long, and I think municipalit
ies Should be i able to belong or
not as they wish. I don't think
my municipality sent me here
to force teem, into'it, It is like
a closed shop,"
W, Urquhart; “I am work
ing for you and for this area,
and I am only doing the most
effective job if I work 12
months trying to promote de-
vcloprpent in the area. The time
Spent .in going around1 soliciting
revenue is really wasted in the
total job. We are trying to cut
this to a minimum so as to get'
on with the job.”
Reeve C, E, Boyle,. Exeter:
“We feel these associations are
a must, not only for urban but
rural municipalities, and we
have joined the Lake Erie As
sociation as well."
Reeve Wilmer < Hardy, Col-
borne: “We were not informed
■this, was going on the county
budget. I think we should have
a new vote.”
Reeve . Smith: “Is Were any
authority to join, in the first
place?”
Mr. Berry: “Oh yes, we have
authority to join.''
Reeve Minnlie Noakes, Hen
sall: “My municipality dropped
out of it, buit I feel, especially
with.the plowing match coming
up and Huron being in the lime
light, we should be looking for
economic development in the
county as a whole, ’ not only
municipalities.”
Reeve ' John Corbett, Hay:
“Two members were not
sent. It was a pretty
vote."
■ A member: “So was
County Home vote.”
Reeve Stirling; “I did
vote for it, but I think
should go along with -it now.
The committee reported that
it was “concerned with the
monies1 being spent on the
Emergency Measures program
not only in our county but
throughout the province.” Xt
recommended establishment of
a committee to study the feas
ibility of the program as it af
fects Huron and to report at
next session. The committee
would consist of the warden,
chairman of the EMO commit
tee and chairman of the war
den’s and personnel committee.
“There was quite a little dis
cussion that we are not getting
value for our money,” said
Deputy Reeve Elmer Hayter of
Stephen, chairman. “It is no
fault of Mr. Forbes, who is do
ing a good job, but whether or
not EMO is of any value to this
county ‘ we are asking a com
mittee to study.”1
Adopting the report, council
increased the salary of Dr. R.
M. Aldis, MOH, to $12,500 plus
$1,000 car allowance, and’ that
of the deputy clerk-treasurer,
B. G. Hanly, from $6,300 plus
$300 car allowance to $6,500;
plus $600 car allowance. The
warden is to get $800. Clerical
categories are eliminated and
one category established with
salary range of $2,400 to $4,-
400.
Session pay for councillors
will be $20 a day plus mileage,
instead of $18, and committee
pay also $20 plus mileage, in
stead of $15, both effective
April 1, 1966.
Council decided against mak
ing any changes in the method
of electing the warden. Reeve
Duff Thompson, Clinton, had
given notice last session of a
motion for secret balloting, “to
remove the tendency toward
patronage creeping into the
election.”
One Change, however, will
pre
slim
the
sep toe outgoing warden pre
siding at toe beginning of the
inaugural meeting in January.
“The warden is elected to of
fice until hi's siiccessor is ap
pointed," Clerk Berry pointed
out.
Salary of the county librari
an was increased from a maxi
mum of $3,500 to $4,000. The
acting librarian, Mrs, J, Ririe,
has resigned, and Reeve Duff
Thompson, Clinton, chairman
nf toe committee, Said the in
tention is to advertise, firstly,
for a fully qualified librarian
and, secondly, for a person with
qualifications sufficient to be
considered as acting county li
brarian.
The matter of a county pub
lic library system is to be dis
cussed, he said, at an open
meeting later in toe year.'
Adopting the property com
mittee report, council appoint
ed Mrs. Friedel Nanz assistant
curator at toe museum at
