Farmers' discontent over
future land use regulations in.
Goderich Township was
evident last Thursday at the
Holmesville Public, School at
the sixth and final planning
workshop to formulate an of-
ficial plan for the township,
Many of the approximately
50 township residents
questioned the need to preserve
land for agriculture:
This was contrary to the first
five meetings during which
most people expressed the need
to maintain quality
agricultural land, '
Now, many farmers believe
they should have the option to
sell off their farmland.
"Ninety-five percent of the far-
mers will sell out if they get
their price." said Kase Van-
denHeuvel, a part-time farmer.
"It's a matter of dollars and
cents."
"I get the feeling more far-
mers are concerned about
trying to capitalize on their
land by selling it to non-
farmers," planner Nick Hill
said. "The people Must give up
some of their selfish rights,"
He'said they must invest in the
future, rather than sell out
now.
Long, long ago in the land of
Egypt, a mother plover asked
the Spirit of the Nile why her
chick was' never happy. The
Nile whispered, "In the jaws
of danger, he will find hap-
piness." So the next morning
the unhappy chick set off to
seek, the jaws of danger. A
hippo came out of the river
and yawned. Could this be the
answer? The plover chick
hopped into her open mouth.
The hippo snapped her jaws
shut and started to swallow.
Help! The chick hopped up
and down in the hippo's
throat. She gage a mighty
sneeze -- and blew the little
bird out, right up into a tree.
A big snake' was slithering
along the branch. She opened
her jaws, and.the.plover 'chick
hopped in. The snake
swallowed him. It was dark
inside. This wasn't hap-
piness! But though the chick
hopped and fluttered, the
snake didn't sneeze. She
glided down the tree trunk
toward the water. Then a
crocodile grabbed her by the
Several farmers said their
freedom would be too restricted
if they weren't allowed to sell
farmland for non-agricultural
use,
The planners replied that if
the farmers do sell out, then
they In turn would - be restric-
ting the next generation of far-
mers.
"You will have annihilated
agriculture in the future," Nick
Hill said.
One man in attendance from
Colborne township said he was
concerned that "so many
Goderich township farmers
cared so little about the
agricultural future of the town-
ship".
Township Deputy Reeve
Gerry Ginn said the sentiments
of most of the township
residents will be considered af-
ter the- first draft of the official
plan is completed. Huron
County planners are now in the
process of designing the first
draft, in co-operation with the
township council.
It is due for completion in
January. All residents will
receive a copy, and then
another public meeting will be
held.

under. She struggled and spat
out the plover. On the sand
nearby he saw another
crocodile, napping with its
mighty jaws open. "I will try
once more," he thought and
hopped in. Nothing happened.
There were leeches wriggling

plover ate them, and the croc
was glad to have his mouth
cleaned. And from that day
on, the plover and all his

found their happiness in the

No Charges on Pick-up a
by David Woods
This is the festive season all right
— but it's also a time of year when
the number of alcohol-related auto-
mobile accidents increases signif-
icantly. For the people itivolved,
there's nothing much to celebrate,
The most obvious way drivers
can avoid becoming a holiday sea-
son statistic is not to drink at all.
But it would be churlish — not to
mention Scrooge-like to suggest
that as a course of action.
The alternative is moderation.
And if you have more than two or
three drinks — forget about driv-
ing. That amount of alcohol will.
impair your ability to handle a car
— the breathalyzer test will con-'
firm that fact. And there's no way
you can beat the breathalyzer, or
refuse to submit to it if you're
actually inside the car and a police-
man thinks yOu've had more than
enough to drink.
By refusing to mix drinking with
driving, yob protect not only your-
self, yobr family and friends, but
the other driver as well. This is a
pretty sobering thought in itself
when you consider that more than
50 per cent of auto accidents involve
alcohol. Even so, there are ,still vic-
tims who are completely innocent.
The drinking driver and his car
form a potentially suicidal — or
homicidal — combination.
Not only that, but there's nothing
you can really do to defuse alco-
hol's effects on your system. Dr.
Edward Seller's, head of the Addic-
tion Research Foundation's inten-
sive care unit, points out that no
amount of black coffee or splashings
of cold water will improve the
situation.
The only thing that will do the
trick, he says, is time spent in bed,
in an armchair — or just abopt any-
where but in a driver's seat.
And if you're hosting a party,
says Sellers, you have an un-
questionable responsibility to your
guests, If you think they're incap-
able of driving, tell them. They
won't like it, but they'll be thankful
in the morning. So be firm; take
the overboozed partygoer's car keys
and put him into a taxi, or put
him up for the night. That way,
he'll have a better chance of being
invited back to your place next
year.
How much is enough? It's diffi-
cult to say, but in general it takes
the body about one hour to process
one ounce of alcohol. 'While two
drinks can move you close to the
legal definition of impairment—
blood alcohol concentration of .08
as measured by breathalyzer tests
— some people can be quite unfit
to drive before that stage.
Such factors as body weight,
drinking on an empty stomach, or
drinking on one that contains
chemicals such as tranquilizers,
cold remedies, antihistamin..:s, sleep-
ing Pills, codeine or other strong
analgesics, all play a part.
As Dr. Sellers says, you shouldn't
mix drink with drugs anyway. Add-
ing the two of them to driving is
just asking for serious trouble.
So, as you celebrate the holiday
season, learn when to say "when."
If you can't, then at least remember
— for your own and other people's
sakes — none for the road.
