Report
urges
(continued from page x)
a "significantly different type
of official plan in areas where
agriculture and the natural
systems (rivers, embankments,
etc.) play an important role."
Although the number of farms
in Huron decreased 27 percent
from 1951 to 1971, Huron is a
stable farming area.
"The economic and social
environment for farming is exc-
ellent in this county," says the
report.
"The agricultural economy is
strongly superior in productivity
and in rate of return to the aver-
age of Ontario's agriculture."
Farming in Huron specializes
heavily in cattle, pigs, poultry,
and eggs.
The report concludes that
agriculture in Huron " is resp-
onding positively to the chang-
ing forces in society. The trend
is toward a stronger agriculture;
However, the report warns
the position may be impeded
by the continuous decrease in
the number of farms while in-
creases in farm size may jeop-
ardize rural communities.
"Generally, farm activities
and non-farm activities will
become poor neighbors to each
other, says the report.

p eronh tolose
r's licence.
It's actually quite simple.
All you do is accumulate fifteen
demerit points and lose your
licence for thirty days. Do it again
and lose your licence for six
months.
In this province, it definitely pays
a driver to score a big fat zero.
Ontario's demerit point system is
designed to convince the poor
driver to drive properly. Drivers
who do not improve are then
taken from the road because
they're a menace to pedestrians
and to other drivers.
But the system is not at all unjust.
It's aimed at telling the driver
where he's gone wrong and
giving him plenty of time to cor-
rect his faults.
For instance. When you've
accumulated six points, you'll be
notified and urged to improve
your driving.
When you've got nine, you'll prob-
ably be asked to attend a private
interview and re -do your driving
test,
At fifteen points, you'll lose your
licence for thirty days and drop
back to seven points, Get fifteen
again and you won't drive for
six months.
However, your record won't be
indelibly marked. If you drive for
two years without a traffic con-
viction your points are erased and
your slate is clean.
How Demerit Points Accumulate:
7 points
6 points
Failing to remain at scene of an accident
(Highway Traffic Act).
Careless dnving. Exceeding speed limit
Racing. by 30 m.p,h. or mora.
