years ago by Sam Clasky, former
Director of the Regional Planning
Branch:
"The Government of Ontario
believes that the main way in which
we can preserve and strengthen our
local community governments is by
giving them more to do. In practice,
this means giving local govern-
ments morel responsibility to make.
decisions. But in Order that local
governrrients can exercise their
powers effectively they must be
organited rationally.
"In other words, by making local
government stronger in terms of
size, population and finances, we
are' setting the stage for a major
program of decentralization of polit-
ical power in this province."
N.F.U. NEWS
By G. Austin
The Rt. Rev. David Ragg, Bishop
of the Diocese of Huron. Anglican
Church, addressed the Region 3 in
Guelph recently. h
Bishop Ragg said that the
production of food is the most
pressing problem in the world
today. A special U.N. conference
has' been called to discuss the
shortage of food in some parts of
the world, and a complete lack of
food in other parts of the world,
where deaths caused by starvation
are 10,000 a week. It is easy ., to
blame the population increase,
problems 'of transportation, poor
seasons, corruption among_officials
and there is probably a semblance
of truth in All of these things. The
Davis Guarantees
No More Changes
In Regional Gov't.
TORONTO — Premier William
Davis has guaranteed Ontario's
municipal leaders that there will be
no further restruet'uring—of
governments by the provincial goy:-
ernment.
In a letter sent. to 681 Reeves,
Deputy Reeves, and County .Coun-
cillors across .the province, Davis
noted that there has been continuing
interest about the Ontario govern-.
ment's attitude toward new regional
governments in the 'province.
He said:
"Perhaps the simplest and' most,
direct way for. me to deal with this
matter, is to quote from the statement •
which. I made to the Association of
Municipalities of Ontario on the 6th
.of 'August of this year. On that
occasion, having spoken of certain
of the benefits .resul ing. from reg-
ional governments where estab-
lished and noting the interest shown
by people in other parts of Canada,
the United States and abroad about
regional government in Ontario, I
went on to say: '
'On the other' hand, and this I
reaffirm without equivocation,
there is no intention to extend .
regional government'or governnient
restructuring any further except
Where there is-a' voluntary process
undertaken in. a partieular area.
Anyone whoa states , otherwise is '
clearly trying to deceive people for
his ',own 'Particular ends. We are
determined to strengthen local goy• -
ernment with greater powers and.
with more resources to the extent •
that our resources makes possible.' •
"I trust that ' this . will set the
record straight,'', he said in his letter
to the municipal officials.
The Premier's assurance reflects
the approach taken in the County
Restructuring „Sudies Program
whereby the, provincial government
shares .with counties and their as-
sociated cities and towns the cost of
a local government, study 'where the
local governments themselves re-
quest 'one. . ' •
' A cardinal principle of the prog-
ram, announced in 1973 by Hon.
John White, then Minister of Treas-
ury, Econ'omics • and Inter-
Governmental Affairs, is that the
recommendations .of an'- indepen-
dent commissioner's study will be
implemented only if there is a
consensys in favour of such action
among the local governments in-
volVed.
Introduction of the current prog-
ram, which has drawn a favourable
response . from Ontario
municipalities, signalled the end of
an era in regard' to the Government. •
of Ontario's approach to local
government reorganization.
During the previous two decades,
the provincial government had
moved 'actively to revise a munici-
pal system that had stood relatively
.unaltered since the B Idwin Act of
1849 and to produce 12 regional
governments across the province.
The Municipalityof Metro Toronto
was established as North•America's
first full-fledged metropolitan gov-
ernment in 1954; others followed in ,
Ottawa-Carleton, Niagara, Peel,
Halton, Thunder . Bay, York,
Hamilton-Wentworth;. Muskoka,
Durham, Haldiman-Norfolk and
Sudbury.
The advent of regional govern-
ment was; above all, a response
to the growing pressUres of indus-
trialization and urbanization which
had .put tremendous strain, on the
existing municipal structure. There
Simply were too many small munic-
ipal units — in 1966, half of
Ontario's 900-odd municipalities
had fewer than 2,000 inhabitants —
• struggling' to deal with problems
within artificial lioundaries and a
fragmented decision-making pro-
cess.
"No one would try to convince
you that with restructuring of local
,.government all of the, problems
have disappeared,'' said 'Provincial "
Treasurer Darcy McKeough in an
April, 1•975, review of regional
' government. "Hopefully we have a ,.
system of priority-setting and re-
sponsibility that can deal in an
orderly way with a wide variety of
inter:related•btft very complex prob-
lems and issues."
With the major task of construct-
ing 12 regional governments com-
pleted, the' Davis government
adopted a different attitude toward
possible restructuring of the re-
mainder of .the province where
populations were sparser, the urban
element less dominant, and such
problems as' environmental pollu-
tion and urban. sprawl much less
urgent. '
'Currently,' more than 10 counties
have initiated studies under the
CRSP program with the province
agreeing to co-sponsor the work of
an independent commissioner. The
District of Parry Sound is expecting
its report shortly, while Northum-
berland 'County has a December, •
1975, completion date for its study.
The Counties of Bruce. Dufferin,
Elgin, Essex, Haliburtim, Lanark,
Prescott and Russell, Renfrew and
Victoria all expect to receive their
reports sometime in 1976.
Thus, the process of reshaping .
local government to meet the needs ,
of the second half of the 20th
century has itself adjusted to chang-
ing circumstances. But' the overall
goal of the Government of Ontario
remains much as it was stated some

world is capable of feeding itself,'
but not at the expense of the
farming community. It is, the
corporate responsibility of 'each
nation to findout the best means by
which the feeding of the world can
be achieved.
We still have quotas, freezes,
uncertainties for producers in
marketing, but there seems to be
no quotas'on those who will be left
to die of starvation. The
Governments still continue, to look .
at emergencies rather than how to
cure the problem.
The Provincial Governments of
Alberta, Saskatch ewan.and British
Columbia have, seen a responsibil 7
ity in., matching the contributions
given by voluntary organizations
and church groups to 3rd world
countries. In Ontario they say that
development aid is, a Federal
responsibility.
Agriculture has been part of our
existence for so long that Govern-
ments take it for granted. We must
have a land use policy or we will not
always be an agricultural country.
You cannot grow food through
blacktop, you cannot take agricult-
ural land out of production and still
grow food. You cannot put all your
trust "in an expanding industrial
society and still grow food for the
expanding industrial population. It
seems ridiculous that the Ontario
government can freeze .land for ,
parks, highways, hydro construc-

Receives Position
With Farm
Labour Pool
Mrs. John • Walters (Margaret
Brophy) 'of Teeswater, has been
appointed to the position of
Bookkeeper-Interviewer with the
Grey-Bruce Canada Farm Labour
• Pool at Walkerton. There were 35
applications for the position.
For the past six years Mrs.
Walters has been secretary at
Sacred Heart School, Teeswater.
For several years she was associat-
ed with CKNX Radio and Televi-
sion at Wingham where she was
Women's Director and treasurer.
Farm Labour Pools are compara-
tively new in our province - this
being the 14th one established hi
Ontario and the only one being
managed by a woman - Miss
• Joanne M. Judd of R. R. 2 Ayton.
These pools are to serve the needs
of farmers who need farm help as
well as those who would like to
work' on a farm.
The Pool was officially opened on
Saturday, August 23rd by Crawford
Douglas, M.P. for Grey-Bruce and
is located at 21 Jackson Street,
Walkerton,
development for a land use policy.
Southwestern Ontario has (or had)
over half -of Canada's No. 1 and No,
2 land. We must preserve this land
before it's too late. Every
successful developed nation in the
world is based on a sound
Agricultural policy.
We must accept responsibility in
this area. Our children will not be,
'able to reverse what we are doing,
and they may face some real
problems of starvation,in what was
once a floultishing food producing
nation.
Those attending the Regional
meeting from Local 335 were Mrs.

members from Saskatchewan. and
