She complained that the and seminars are geared to larger cipalities. ncillor•Wheeler felt the voice of the ates is "diluted" because they go ividuals or in small groups" It3 think that if delegates could go as part of a lar$er delegation, for example, as 'a delegation representing Huron County, no longer would each delegate be a small unorganized force. or unheard voice," Wheeler Said. "A county delegation with proper preparation could set specific goals it would like to see achieved, and thereby could more effectively contribute to the discussions taking place as well as take a more active part in the future direction and .organization of the O.G,R.A.," the councillor said. He noted if all delegations were organized in such a manner, the O.R.G.A. would have little trouble in meeting its first objective to speak with authority on matters of transportation. Wheeler said he was dismayed to find an editorial in the Toronto Star which left the impression that the "country boys were coming down tothe big city for a good time". He felt that better organization at the convention would put an end to that kind of derogatory com- ment. "No longer would the big city press wink their collective eyes and say, here come the boys from rural Ontario into the big city for more O.G.R.A. high finks," Wheeler said. • In other business, Deputy -reeve Eileen Palmer questioned Harbor Committee Chairman Don Wheeler regarding a section of the harbor report which referred to an agreement with Larry Jeffrey for a food concession at the beach which gave him "exclusive vending rights". Wheeler said that was not his wording; it was the wording of the contract already in force between the town and Jeffrey. That contract was signed in 1974 portraits cKinley, MP for Huron -Bruce was a special guest at Victoria Public School % Conjunction with the schools participation in Commonwealth Day.

"It sounds like a great way to meet people," said Councillor Bob Allen. "And remember, we'll be returning the favor when the Bay City folks come to Goderich later this year," said Mayor Deb Shewfelt.

"I doubt if this council has that right in any case " Councillor Bob Allen pointed out there were other contracts `in town which granted exclusive vending rights, such as at the grandstand booth: "That doesn't make,. it right," com- mended Deputy -reeve Palmer. Coun- cillor Stan Profit claimed it was another indication of agreements . approved which aren't closely studied by all council members. Renovations are being carried out in the town - hall. Painting has already begun with Willie Pederson doing the work, and the contract for carpeting has been awarded to Conklin Lumber, the firm with the lowest of three. Deputy -reeve Palmer pointed out, however, that work at the public library Tough policy on land use Home builders should look some place else besides rura Huron County says the Huron Federation of Agiculture. Federation members have adopted in principle a tough land -use policy which recommends that no severances be allowed for new residences in rural areas. The policy, which is to be presented to all township councillors and the County Planning Department for consideration, says "a limited amount of planned expansion may be permitted in, or adjacent to existing towns." But the Federation wants no major develop- ments to take place in Huron. "Major disruptive in- dustrial and institutional complexes should be prohibited in Huron County, eg. power plants, steel mills, etc." the brief recommends. The policy paper was drawn up by the Huron Federation's Land Use and Tariff committee consistin: ` of Merle-'" Gi rrtty Gordon; Blanchard, Charlie. Thoma George. Underwood, Douglas' Cameron, and John Oke. The committee, according to Merle Gunby, was: -Split on the issue of ;granting severances for existing surplus residences in the rural_ area. The committee compromised on the issue saying they had , "serious reservations" about such severances. "This is just sitting on the fence," said one farmer. "Surely we can take a stand on this." Other farmers said it would be "a waste" not to allow severances in some case. After 40 minutes discussion the resolution passed as originally presented by the committee. The Federation also recommended that steps be taken to "preserve the agriculturally oriented community, which provides a compatible economic and social environment in which the family farm can function efficiently." ,_Mobile homes should only be permitted as part of a mobile home park, .or as a residence for someone who is, actively engaged in operating a farm, the brief states. The brief rejects the Ontario Government$ stand that land use planning be done only at the municipal level. "We suggest that there is a need for Provincial Gover- nment involvement in the planning process, to designate large areas for specific uses," it reads. A resolution was passed banningsmoking at all future Federation meetings. )Ointing is only, proposed and not underway as suggested in last week's Signal -Star. Councillor Elsa Haydon brought forth a motion to supply the chairmen of the town's committees with some guidelines regarding the rules involving conflict of interest. "Perhaps this council does not give enough direction," said Haydon in in- troducing , the motion. "Then if something goes wrong, we may blame the committees who may not know the proper procedures." "I think such action could be taken as a personal affront," said Councillor iiob Allen who claimed committee chairmen and members wefe perfectly capable to carry out business affairs for the town without direction from town council. "It is an out and out affront," agreed Councillor Stan Profit. "I can't see what harm it would do," said,Haydon. Councillor Dave Gower seconded the motion which carried in the vote. DONATIONS H.O.
