Huron CFF asks
oes Huron need a
development officer?
BY RHEA HAMILTON
The need for a development officer for
Auron County came under close scrutiny
Wednesday evening when the Christian
Farmers Federation met in Clinton. Presi-
dent Bill Jongejan wanted opinions from
members on development in Huron County
"We pay $17,000 a year to Spence
Cummings Huron County development
officer for him to attract industry to Huron
County" said Mr. Jongejan. "But is it
necessary?" Members were divided about
the issue. •
"We can't have our cake and eat it too,"
said CFFO, member John Maaskant.
"Industrial parks and later subdivisions
put pressure on agricultural land, I would
like to see Huron county stay agricultural."
A member pointed out that a lot of the
young people from farms find employment
in the small industries in Huron County
and even many farmers take part-time jobs
to supplement farm incomes.
"Industrial planning is not done on a
provincial scale but left up to the counties"
said Mr. Jongejan, "That's why the '
position of development officer was cre-
ated.'
Fieldman for CFFO Martin Oldengarm
said members needed more information,
and research into the matter.
Mr. Jongejan suggested that a commit-
tee of concerned members'"'aitend the
Porter Commission inquiry hearings in the
area in March, The hearings are concerned
with the location of a power porridor
through the province.
"To pick Huron county for a nuclear
plant would be a tragedy" said Mr.
Jongejan.
The possibility of a corn marketing
agency was discussed. Mr. Jongejan
relayed information he learned while
attending a CFFO board meeting where a
corn board representative spoke. It has
been proposed that the corn board will
regulate drying and handling costs by
licensing elevators. For a farmer to qualify
he must sell 10 ton of corn. Mr. jongejan
told members that the proposed corn board
would like to promote advance payment to
farmers and would also provide education-
al material.
Members are to contact the CFFO office
in Drayton if they want a general interest
meeting.

the position of 1979 Student
Co-ordinator. Miss Love is a
native of this area and a
graduate of LDSS and
Fanshawe College. She re-
cently underwent training
locally and returned last
week from a departmentally
conducted Seminar.
After a successful summer
last year, located in the old
Dominion Building on the
corner of Main and Argyle,
the Student Office is once
again in operation at the
same location. In 1978 a total
of , 509 visits to employers
resulted from the efforts of
the two-person staff. Miss
Love plans to continue the
visiting program and in-
crease the number of calls in
1979.
Another increase expected
this year will be a rise in
placements and student re-
gistration. In 1978 a total of
379 job vacancies was re-
ported and 737 registrations
of students ,were received.
Miss Love expects an in-
crease in both of those
figures in 1979 in view of the
apparent improvement in the
economy.
Within the near future
Miss Love will be directing
letters, phone calls and per-
sonal visits to employers
throughout the area to solicit
job vacancies and to encour-
age summer hiring. As well,
she will be visiting
Secondary Schools to obtain
early Student registrations.
However; there are
numerous students already
registered who will be avail-
able for part-time work im-
mediately and during the
upcoming "March break".
