Reports to county
(by Shirley J. Keller)
R.S. (Spence) Cummings,
Huron's development officer,
tabled a comprehensive report
of his work during 1973 and told
council that in his opinion,
Huron County should establish
a County Tourist Promotion
Association to handle the inc-
reased number of tourists expec-
ted to this area this summer.
"The world-wide shortage of
gasoline and the desire of
people for vacations indicate
that we should have an influx
of tourists this season, " said
Commings. "I am sure that the
people in the northern states
will be motoring to Canada for
their vacations this summer. I
hope that the operators of tour-
ist facilities are preparing
themselves for a big tourist
season."
Cummings said he was plan-
ning to get interested tourist
operators from Huron together
to establish a County Tourist
Promotion Association. He said
this association should be to
promote tourism in the county
from within their organization
and eventually, this would
relieve the county of the resp-
onsibility for promoting the
tourist industry through its
development committee.
The Sport Complex at one
time proposed for Vanastra has
not had enough support to give
success to the venture, Cumm-
ings also reported. He said the
former CFB Clinton ,.: ' an
arena, a gymnasium, a curling
rink and messes reserved for a
sports complex but decision has
now been made to sell or rent
each of these buildings separ-
ately to industry or to any other
use.

The arena, for instance, is
being used year round now for
roller skating, Cummings said.
Where industry for the county
is concerned, Cummings said
the absence of available rental
space has been one drawback
in all his dealings with indust-
rialists.
"The county residents, wheth-
er public or private, can do
something about the lack of
rental space, " Cummings said.
"Each area needs a starter
building for industry, a struct-
ure that can be divided into
segments of 5, 000 square feet.
Most industries require a place
to set up. They will then exp-
and into other segments of the
building or build a building of
their own."
"If they build, it is usually
in the town in which they first
located," said Cummings.
Cummings indicated one of
the best industrial types to
hope for is an industry which is
related to the agricultural basis
in Huron. He said Huron should
not have to compete on the
same basis with cities and towns
along highways 401 and 400,
and felt that some agricultural
related industries should have
some incentive to "move closer
to their source of supply."
"To establish a viable secon-
dary economic base in the
county we need tourism and
some additional industry in
each of our towns and villages,
said Cummings.
There is hope for this, accor-
ding to the county's develop-
ment officer. He said enquiries
by industry have increased over
the last two months.
"At the present I am working
with 17 companies at various
