He said he saw the five proposed regions as a method by which to "strengthen the role of local government" because the 10 former regions were to be replaced with what he liked to term "the group of 70" — 70 municipalities within five regions. "The largest single input into the Design for Development program," said McKeough "will come from this group of 70." At this juncture, McKeough indicated to council that the government was interested to hear from the "private sector" of citizens as well as "politicians, rpeotliirtieedia pnosl:ipcians and defeated McKeough touched on the Toronto-Centered Region concept which is a plan to divert some of the congestion of population as well as business and industry away from Toronto to the Kit- chener-Waterloo, Barrie and Port Colborne areas in par- ticular, The Minister indicated that such growth cannot take place too far out of the Toronto district because the Queen City is the base for business and industry and development will radiate around the base before spreading ptorovtihnece.outer-reaches of the McKeough said he believed his government set goals which were "realistic and not impractical." Reeve Elgin Thompson of Tuckersmith asked McKeough if he could provide any idea of the size of the regions he was proposing. McKeough answered that the provincial aims and objectives of 1968 had not changed and that ideally, a region would comprise 150,000 to 200,000 people. He said such a population base would be necessary to afford the kinds of services required by the kind of region proposed for Ontario. "It is not only what seems to make sense but also what will work well," stated McKeough. Lower-tier government, IlleKeough said, should en- compass from 8,000 to 10,000 members of the Ford family, a 1925 Model T and a 1930 Model A roadster with a rumble seat and a 1932 Chevrolet, The Chev is in excellent con- dition and is operational with the Gould backyard being used to try it out. Doug Gould says the Model T needs only a battery and it will be ready to roll, The story of the Model A is quite different. It was brought to its Exeter location in many pieces. It could take at least a year to re-assemble it com- pletely, "Most of the parts are here and the others are readily available, It will be quite a challenge, but we'll get it ready for the road," said Gould. He continued "I've had lots of offers from friends to help me get the cars going." ANTIQUE CARS — Doug Gould of town spent part of his summer holidays shopping for antique cars and he was successful. Doug and daughter Anne are shown with a 1930 Model A Ford and 1925 Model T Ford. The Model A arrived at the Gould home in pieces and will be assembled within the next year.

Cecil Hawke in charge of the summer Ontario Provincial Police detachment at Grand Bend suggests this week that visitors make enquiries to his office regarding regulations of the Liquor Control Act. In his weekly report, Sgt. Hawke said liquor offences have increased at Grand Bend this year with having liquor in a place other than a residence being the most common oc- currence, He referred to drinking in cars, small boats and on the public beaches. During this week, 11 persons were charged with liquor of- fences while 17 others face charges under the Highway Traffic Act, An extra week of summer holidays will provide a year's work for an Exeter merchant. Doug Gould, who has always had dreams of owning older cars The Honorable W. Darcy McKeough was on the hot seat at a special session of Huron County Council Monday af- ternoon „ .and the subject was regional government. Accompanied by Hon, C. S. MacNaughton, MPP for Huron, McKeough arrived later than anticipated by council and gave members an opportunity to discuss what they believed to be the implications of McKeough's June statement on Design for Development Phase Three. It also gave members time to formulate good questions which made for an informative session. The main questions in the minds of most county councillors were whether regional govern- ment was coming, when it was coming and how it would affect Huron County. McKeough told council members he could not provide direct answers to those questions at this time. He said that his June statement had covered three topics — the regional develop- ment reforming tax needs and restructuring local government. The Minister said that a target date of 1975 had been set for the completion of data-gathering which would point the way to the future. McKeough's June statement went this way : "It is our goal that everyone in the province will have a good idea of the direction local government is going by 1975. I want to make it clear that this does not mean it will be possible to have legislated all those reforms by that date." McKeough told Huron coun- cillors that a "restructured map" of the province would have to be drawn up before anymunicipality can know the possible boundaries of its region. He said it would be unwise to formulate tentative boundaries at this point since there could be "areas left over unless somebody develops a whole map." He did reiterate his plan to develop five development regions in the province rather than 10. McKeough said that during the past five years, many many politicians and lay people throughout Ontario had come to realize that "the world is bigger than our own back ?7ard." spent a week shopping around and the Gould backyard on William street now shows the success of his tour, Parked in the yard are two persons, McKeough pointed out that at this size, a municipality could provide "some pretty good staff," Reeve Jack Alexander of Wingham asked whether the provincial government would approve the amalgamation of municipalities within Huron. With a broad smile, McKeough told council that "most con- solidation talk has come to nothing," so far. He said that Ontario has 900 municipalities, probably three times as many as there should be. "The answer is yes,"said McKeough, "we'll be delighted if some of these consolidations are worked out." McKeough went on to say that almost everyone is agreed that police villages should be phased out, "But how many municipalities have made a move to get rid of their own," said McKeough. He added that most municipal politicians seem to prefer to let government make the necessary changes, "Then they can blame it on McKeough," reported the minister. Reeve Charles Thomas of Grey told McKeough that on two oc- casions, the county of Huron has asked to be named a region and then move to some consolidations within the region. "Why have we been ignored?" asked Thomas. McKeough answered that it was necessary to formulate a map for the entire province before any regions were established. "We wanted to slow the process down and catch our breath," continued McKeough. "Is it possible for Huron County to become a region?" asked Thomas, "If you want a quick answer it is no,"answered McKeough. "You don't meet the population criteria. You can't afford the services. A study has to be made. You have to take a look at the outer boundaries as well as inner boundaries." McKeough further indicated that the boundaries for municipalities set up 100 years ago need not remain the same forever. Gerry Ginn, deputy-reeve of Goderich Township asked McKeough if consideration was being given to the method of taxing-farmland, He was told that a new system of farm taxation was expec' --' about the same time as the new assessment — probably 1974. Ginn also asked why money for certain "people" services such as health, welfare, library, could not be raised on a per capita basis rather than on an assessment basis. "I'm afraid that some good projects are going to be turned down in Huron because taxes are raised on an assessment basis, not on a per capita basis," said Ginn, McKeough answered that the general trend now in provincial government is to assess grants to the municipalities on an English visitors — Continued from Front Page days at Niagara Falls. They had mixed feeling about the Canadian weather saying, "When we first arrived here it was wet, we thought we brought a little of our weather along. This has to be the worst weather we have ever had in England in the summer, The weeks and months of rain have been shocking." Despite their pleasure of being in Canada and the wonderful treats such as the corn, home made bread and butterscotch sundaes, Mrs. Johnson said there was one thing she didn't like, dill pickles. Okay oil, asphalt for some roads Some Exeter streets will be given another coat of oil to cut down on dust, but at the same time, members of council in- dicated they were quite pleased with the results of the experiment with oil this year. "It has held up surprisingly well," commented works superintendent Glen Kells, Mayor Jack Delbridge pointed out some areas stood up better than others, and Kells noted this was probably due to the condition of the street at time of oiling. Some complaints of dust have been received in recent weeks and trouble spots will be given another application. Council also approved applying another coat of asphalt to Gidley St. West and Senior St. Due to breakages in the water main on these streets, they have been dug up several times and have also had extremely heavy traffic from school buses. Kells indicated that PUC manager Hugh Davis had ad- vised that there should not be any more digging and that the main will probably last for several years. • The works superintendent estimated the cost at $4,200 and said this was probably high. Reeve Derry Boyle said he didn't think the streets needed another coat, but the Mayor and Deputy-Reeve Don MacGregor explained that it should be fixed before it broke up more and moisture was allowed to seep in. assessment basis rather than on a per capita basis as in the past. McKillop's Reeve Allan Campbell asked about the in- creased cost for larger units of administration, "When any outfit goes bigger, it costs more," said Campbell. "Why? It is supposed to be more economical." McKeough claimed he might be "over-simplifying" the situation, but he compared larger govern- ment units of administration to supermarkets. He said that most women no longer shop at the corner store because the supermarkets can give better prices, better quality fresher produce and wider variety. "People are demanding more and more services and the cost of government has gone up in the same way that the cost of food or anything else has gone up," said McKeough. "I shop at the corner store and so does my wife," retorted Campbell. "And the prices don't vary that much from the supermarket." Reeve Bill Elston of Morris Township complained to McKeough about the new county boards of education. He said these units were too far away from the people, that the operations of the school board are being directed by civil servants and that costs are too high for the value being received in education. "It is just no good," said Elston. "I really can't agree," an- swered McKeough. It was six o'clock before the discussion came to an end, Dinner was served at the Bedford Hotel for county councillors and their guests.
