"It was a blanket no to both proposals,' stated Warden McKinley. "Councillors just didn't see enough benefits to the people." The restructuring committee had two suggestions' for possible ways the county could be revamped: the first proposal called for eight - area municipalities to comprise 'the county with all towns except Goderich, being included with the area municipalities; in the second proposal 12, area municipalities were suggested with 'the five major t owns remaining as separate area municipalities. the first proposal 'would have reduced local representation from 130 to 56 with county representation dropping from' 45 to 16. The second proposal was less drastic with local representation cut from 150 to 70 and county representation from 45 to 21. Warden McKinley said council could see no real value in reducing the number of representatives-He said it was the feeling that fewer councillors would be doing more work, but not much money would be saved because they would only pay themselves more for the extra duties.

One of these units was the , Town of Kincardine, Villages of Tiverton, Ripley and Lucknow and the townships of Kincardine, Huron and Kinloss.

Farmers at this camp, attended by one hundred delegates from across Ontario. During the week, each member was expected to provide leadership to the program 'in various ways, whether it was planning the evening social event or vespers, sharing' a camping skill or working on other activities. "Personal" leadership develop- ment is stressed through discus- sions and group experiences. Sessions on communication, rec- reation, program lanning and other topics of impohance to local Junior Farmer Clubs are a key part of the camp. On return to their home .com- munities, delegates are expected to use their, new skills and abilities in the local Junior Farmer program. The Junior Farmer Leadership Training Camp is conducted by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. if had been fully discussed, Ea came out with a second proposal, which might be termed a "Sooth- er". The wisdom of this, so soon, was questioned by many but it appeared to be a compromise, realizing -that the original proposal-- was doomed from the start. Under the second proposal the county was divided into 13 units of governMent. Lucknow, Ripley, Huron and Kinloss were together in this one and the town of Kincardine 'was alone.

Editofial Comment lincatdin‘ .Suck On Ed's SOothet "History proves this is exactly what happens," the Warden The Warden pointed out that the study showed once, more that Huron County is already a progressive county with ' an exceptionally, fine system of government. He said .many of the things other counties are gaining because of restructuring have been a way of life in Huron for years. Warden McKinley cited the number of county services - library, health, welfare, roads, planning, etc. - which have evolved naturally in Huron because of its Unique county system. "Other counties are restruc- turing to get what we already have," the warden explained. Co-operation, the warden noted, is the key . He, said councillors were fully aware, that even if some municipalities were amalgamated, co-operation would be necessary. The waiden felt county represe zntatives were willing to ' co-operate to a greater extent, for other specific county-wide services, such as fire protection, police, recreation, garbage disposal, etc. The restructuring committee was instructed now to study the various services that could come under county jurisdiction along with probable costs and methods, said the warden. The warden felt there could be public meetings in the future to determine the feelings of the citizens toward future county services.
