"Already we are being de- luged by subdividers and peo- ple putting up small cottages or addition's," he reported, "and if some municpalities along the lake have not got a good plan- ning act I wish you would. They cram lots in like sardines along the lake shore. There is no public access and roads go, in willy-rilly and a good lake front property is going to be wasted, The public won't get election results until after nine o'clock this election, because of the lateness of the polling Monday..

The Crediton- Xhiva road is in about the same condition, in fact, we have about 100 miles in the same condition, but we can- not build them all." "It will take between six and nine years to build these roads, depending on the funds available," Mr. Britnell said. "Our county easement is up and if the cost of road con- struction does not rise, we may gain and the assessment; make it possible to do more than the miles planned. Other- wise we must say that in 1966 we will build nine miles and when the time comes levy to pay for it. That has not been. the practice, and the commit- tee has not recommended it at this time, but it is the only practical way. There is no average cost for road con- struction; $200,000 will build four to five miles in the south, where gravel is expen- sive, or five to six miles in the north." Reeve Glenn Webb of Ste- phen, road committee chair- man, said in his report: "Our system of budgeting makes it difficult to strike a five-year plan with any accuracy, since the construction program usu- ally must fit the funds avail- able, and this amount would vary from year to year. For the plan to work properly, we should set the program, and then each year raise the funds by tax levy to meet the cost, Rather t ha n recommend a change in our method, it was decided to present a Est of pro- jects in the order in which they be constructed. At the present rate, five to seven miles could Le constructed each year. It is essential that a long- range plan be adopted 'to make it possible to carry out prop- erty purchase, pole relocation and pre-engineering in ad- vance of the constructionyear." Council took no action to Reeve Glenn Webb, Stenhen, asked: "Will there be clinics set up for oral vaccine in the fall?" He was told: "We hope so." "I think you should take all possible steps," said Reeve Ball of Seaforth.

Elston. Cardiff, PC, member in the last parliament, took the brunt of the queations, defend- ing the Diefenbaker govern- men's farm program, Despite the variety and frequency of the queries lasting almost an hour, he didn't flinch on any poser nor did he lose patience. When the chairman indicated the question period, might be extended, however, Mr, Cardiff asked for relief, "I've got to get up early to campaign in the morning," said he. . Farm union members Gor- don Hill, a past provincial president, and Robert Taylor, provincial vice-president, press- ed the question of national farm marketing hoards which Mr. Cardiff felt would be dif- ficult to develop because of the .provincial jurisdictions. After being pressed, however, he said he would support 'en- abling legislation for national marketing boards providing there was sufficient support from farmers. Other highlights: Liberal candidate Ernie Fish- er attacked the importation of Polish eggs. NDP candidate J, Carl Hem- ingway said his party advocat- ed national marketing boards and charged that the other partied had stolen their farm platforms from the NDP. Earl. Douglas, the Social Credit representative, faceti- ously asked each member of the audience to sign a $5,350 mortgage as they left the hall, because "that represents the indebtedness brought about by the old parties", County director Ray Hanna, Auburn, was chairman of the meeting, The format allowed each man to speak for 10 minutes (the order established by lot) and a three-minute re- buttal. Going further in debt Social Credit candidate Earl Douglas said all the other candidates "actually are try- ing to get you further and further into debt—they will take you into the next stage or totalitarianism or statism". The old parties he likened to a Learn of old horses. "Let's send !lent to the boneyard and put a modern tractor to work". "While your total product is $36 billion you have only $24 billion to purchase that pro- duct. As we tax, we reduce our purchasing power. Social Credit is going to correct that situation," Not getting share Elston Cardiff said farmers have • never received their fair share of the national income despite the PC efforts to help agriculture. "We have tried in every conceivable manner to cure the ills of the eastern farm and the western farmer." Hon. Alvin Hamilton, he said, was the best minister of agriculture Canada has had for the past 30 years—a man who would listen to delega• tions and try to solve their problems. The PC's, under the stabiliza- tion bill, spent $126 million on farm products in frier years, compared to the $100 million spent by the Liberals in 12 Snaps pole, hydro off version," covering .48.5 miles of construction in nine pro- jects.

In event of nuclear attack, an influx could be expected from Windsor and Niagara Falls areas. Accordingly, regulating centres would be located at Ex- eter, Grand Bend, Seaforth, Wingham and Mihail, and road movement restricted to High- ways 21 and 8. Railway receiving terminals would be at Exeter, Seaforth, Clinton, Wingham and Coder- ich, Marine terminals at Coder- ich, Kincardine, Grand Bend and Bayfield. Mr. MacDonald, who has been on probation, is now on recom- mendation of EMO committee appointed on a permanent basis. The county's EMO bylaw, re- drafted, was approved. A former officer of the RCR, Mr. MacDonald said in connec- tion with reception: "I had a lot of experience in Korea after the fighting was over. You cannot stop people from coming; you can only con- trol them, That was shown in the Wnnipeg flood of 1950. There will be aircraft arrivals here and you cannot stop them. They will land on farms and so on. Our air receiving terminals will be Goderich, Wingbaru, Port. Albert, Grand Bend, Exeter and Brussels." "Grand Bend is included in Huron plans with consent of Lambton and Middlesex coun- ties," "The war threat still exists," Mr. MacDonald told council. "There are aircraft airborn right now with weapons.

Tri-county home for tee.nagers? Report of the Children's Aid Society, presented by Miss Clare McGowan, director, men- tioned a Bruce - Grey - Huron meeting to discuss a tri-county plan for a. joint foster home for teen-agers, with possibility of detention rooms being pro- vided in the same house, Hur- on has no detention home. The county society operates wage homes, boarding homes, adop- tion homes and a receiving home. The foster home for teen- agers is only in the thinking stage," said Reeve Clarence Hanna of East Wawanosh, who was at the triacountas meeting. "The idea would be to have somebody report on these juve- niles to the judge. so they would get medical treatment or be sent to the right institution. Huron has one, Bruce five, Grey two, but that keeps chang- ing. Ex-warden Witham Jewett, president of the CAS, was in- vita to speak in connection with the report "We have enough money," he qaid: "it is interest we need, from the county council and all the people of the county, Some people still talk about chit• dren's homes; their minds are hack in the years when we had an orphanage. There is a need all the time for homes. They talk about one for juveniles hard to place, and that is a thing we are going to look into in the .future. Some child ton we deal with had a horrible start, and we spend our money on them hoping it will be well spent," By adopting the report, coun- cil approved setting up all committees on a one-; two-; three-year basis with the ex- ception of 'the road committee which would be of one, two, three, four and five-year com- mittees according to stature. No one will be chairman of more than one committee. Several committees will he revised with the thought of having all mem- hers active or. committees.
