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. Campaign underway Hire summer students The arrival of milder temperatures during the past week remind us that summer is just around the corner. At Canada Employment Centre in Listowel the annual plans for announcing the Spring and Summer Student hiring campaign were materalized during the past week. Early in February Miss Sheila Love was appointed to THREE PHASE I Electric "EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL" * ECONOMY * SERVICE QUALITY BARRY BUCHANAN 482-7374 GLENN McLEAN 887-9264 P.O. BOX 1136 CLINTON, ONT 4# • 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". A Post Classified will pay 'ou dividends.
