Mr. Nisbett said that the
whole philosophy of the relat-
ionship between local Associat-
ions and government servicing
departments was undergoing a
thorough study and that the
"feed -back" from locals such
as that of the South 1-luron and
District is very helpful. Much
of the work formerly carried on
under the Department of
Health is now administered
under the Ministry of Commun-
ity and Social Services and the
advice of the voluntary agen-
cies is important as the Min-
istry develops its program.
Mrs. Kathleen Whitmore of
Seaforth, the chairman of the
committee for "Flowers of Hope'
presented a display of packaged
seeds and church bulletins
ready for distribution for the
annual publicity and fund -coll-
ecting program of the on-going
activities of the local Assoc-
iation. A door-to-door canvass
will be made the week before
Mother's Day.

the local chapter of Youth

ally Retarded announced a

Ontario, which was won by one

ments.

girl so that seven boys and the
one girl are under the care of
the Nursery services.

Area men head tourist group
The third meeting of the
proposed Huron County Travel
Association brought the county
businessmen one step closer to
forming an alliance with one
another to promote the resources
of the county.
The meeting was in Hully
Gully last Tuesday and although
only 18 possible members of the
fledgling organization were
present they took the initiative
to get the ball rolling.
One of the Iluron County
Development Office staff,
Spencer Cummings, was at
the meeting with brochures that
are already in use promoting
Huron County. I -le brought with
him a list of possible objectives
that any Travel Association
could strive for and offered ad-
vice as to what the proposed
group for 1luron County should
be concerned with.
Some of the guidelines that
could be followed according to
the list of objectives are_prep-
aring an inventroy of current
resources and updating lists of
recreational ones; planning
development of the area co-
ordinating existing data and
consulting with concerned ag-
encies and ministries; and
implementing the area plan
working with other agencies,
developers and service clubs.
To concentrate on the tour-
ist development the Develop-
ment Office list of guidelines
suggests setting
various
areas
of
promotion keeping in mind
specific events and attractions
in the county. They suggest the
group plan a promotional prog-
ram developing an area market-
ing program using the various
media services.
The 18 businessmen present at
the meeting felt it was essent-
ial to the survival of the group
to elect an executive. Due to
their small number they could
not enjoy the luxury of several
nominations followed by voting
as is normal in this situation.
Instead some of the more
willing people present, the
"doers" as they call themselves,
allowed themselves to be select-
ed by the group to serve in
office for the rest of the year.
The executive for the year
is Randy Collins, Varna, pres-
ident; Gord Steep, Holmesville,
Malcolm Campbell, Goderich
and Des Cassidy, Clinton, vice-
presidents; Ruth Wallace, Bay-
field, secretary, and Ivan Luth-
er, Grand Bend, treasurer.
various committee chairmen
and the treasurer. The meeting
was chaired by Andrew Black-
well.
Mrs. Don Purdy introduced
the speaker who was accomp-
anied by Mrs. Nisbett.

Now an organization with
leadership the group sought to
clear up some of the obvious
stumbling blocks in their path.
Mr. Cummings had brought
along models of a travel assoc-
iation constitution and a set of
possible by-laws that could be
considered appropriate for Huron
County. It was decided after
some discussion that the exec-
utive take the models and
study them to sift out the clause:
that are not fitting for the
County businessmen and present
a constitution to the members
at the next meeting to be con-
sidered for adoption.
Another problem prevalent
among the members was the
cost of the venture to each bus-
iness. The majority felt that
if they had a definite member-
ship fee that they could sell the
idea to their fellow colleagues.
Mr. Cummings pointed out to
the group that they set their owl.
fees keeping in mind wilat kind
of work they would like to do
and what kind of a budget they
will require.
It was suggested that the
executive have the power to
appoint someone to act as liai-
son between them and the var-
ious municipal governments in
the county.
As the wheels were set in
motion some enthusiasm was
generated into the members and
a lively discussion on how to
act in the near future resulted.
One member suggested that
bumper stickers promoting the
county be purchased and given
out by the members. Another
felt that decals be used in the
windows of the members' places
of business indicating that they
are members.
The new treasurer went into
action just prior to the adjourn-
ment and collected two dollars
from everyone present to try
to gain some physical results
from the success of this the
third meeting.
The next meeting of the
Huron County Business and Tray.
el Association is May 7 at the
Hully Gully Recreation Centre
in Varna.
