Warden..J o.hn MJciKinlay, Members of E1gin Oounrty Council, Gentlemen: It is my privilege and a pleasure to rEWort to you as one of your reyresentatives to. the. Economic Council-\Lake~Erie Region.. upon the activities of that organization during the year which 1.3 nearly passed. It has been a stimulating :experienceand a challenge to have served the past year as,a member of the Board of Directors of ,the iOouncil and ,as the Chairman of the Commtttee on Municipal Gl()'Vernment. The Council has increased its. memJbership, its ac.. tivities:.and i,tsiIrlluenc€.and its ,meetings are becomiIl/g a ,forum for new ideas and concepts and a common meeting ground for the exchange of ideas among the 71 municilpalities that com/prise oU!' iour-:county area. 1 should,very ,briefly like to review 'some of the activi,ties of the JCounc1l in the year 196'6. Seminars were held during the ye'ar oniManufacturing Industry Development, Visitor Industry Development, Water Management and ,M,unicipal Government. As one of those ,responsible for the one day seminar far municilpal councillors; I 'was p'articularly proud of the attendance and .interest show,n, by th'ose invo.lved with municipal gavernment. It is prow posed to' hold a similar conference, in Decemlber on "Planning !by MlunicitPaiitiE~s for ,Orderly ,DeveIDlPment" and We hope this will .receive as en'thusiastic support as did our spring seminar. The V?'<J.rt..:,Qf the various' comD;1ittees' of the Council relating to' edu.~ ca,tion"natural resources an<:l; recr,eation,and land use p1anning has provid~d_ :n.1uch valllalble inforlTIation which may 'be used ,by the municir,{al councils in' tlheir ,day .ta day decisitms,in local govern- :qlent. Award or ,t;wO- should 'be said concerning the "EriePrciject" ~F the a.m\bitiaus study pro,gram and' c'ompilation'of a:!lda'ta re~ specting I(Yur four, c01?-ntyarea so that up to date information on land 'use, -a-gricuHuy.e, -industry, papulation and virtually an aspects 170 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL of our regionail economy will 'be readily availalbtle to aid local gOY. ernm,ent in making wise decisions in planning,education and all realms of its respons~biHties where ,accur.ate information a'nout the patterns of growth are needed. This information will be inval~ uable to industry ,and commerce and other private agencies in. valved with service to people. We can be proud that this Upilot project" in IIresearch for better living" w,as initiated through the vision of the Council and the University of Western Ontario CO. 'oiperating for the region's benefit. .Finally, furough the estafblishment of better communication between all the bodies concerned with the organization of OUl' d,aily living, the Council is bringinlg albout adeeu>er understanding o'f our prolblems, and a clearer view of the goals we seek. By meeting tlQgether in an 'atmosphere of mutua] understanding and co-operative effort we are tending to realize that we are all hope- fully. tra'velling in the same direction and hoping to attain the same objects in .a word..;.... "happy, sta'ble, balanced communities." This is really ail! we seek for ourselves and for our children' but the task win taoke our .best effol'tsin the face of an expanding economy' and th<? ralpid grorwth our area faces. As you all are aware, the new LProvincial Government policy firmly estaJblishes the Regional iEoonomic Councils as direct :.ines of communication with. the Provincial Government 1hrough the Regional .Advisory Boards of senior civil servants which. are now set Ulp in e'ach region. Thus the Provincial Government. hopes to leaye in. local hands, through the mediu'1h of the, Econ- omic Co-uneils, the .fostering and guiding of all pha'ses of develop~ ment within the region. Since the Economic ICouncil is ro'ade up. of representa1tiYes of. the local muniCipa,1, .governments are we not beinlg' encouraged to govern ourselrves more ef,fecti.rvely but also to do our own research an-dto seek our orwn answers ...to our own profblems? It:is ,already ohvious to most of us that if local govern- .ment is to survive at all, it'must follow the example of industxy, bee-orne (moreeificient, meet new responsirbilities as they arise and use the tools of modern research to do Hs work effectively. and eConomically. This, and J: feel strongly albout this, we c'an . do if we will, and the Lake Erie Economic Council can make a worth- while contribution in this work in severa'~ ways. First. by being as Ipa've already intimated, a co-mmon meeting ground for the disoussion ofrprolblems of mutual concern. Second, ,by being a means of communication between the Provincial and municilPaI ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL l71 governments as well as between different lo'cal governing .bodies. Thir.dly. by being a res~arch and information centre up-on which all loc'al governments can dralW to -assist in making the responsible decisions which we will require if our communities are to , survive and be st~b]e, happy living places we want them to !be. The fu- ture groyvt,h in tJ;1is County.alone wi11rbe difficult ,enough to man.. age and sustain. with adequate services at levels of expenditure vhat are within our means and we ,will cer'ta:inly need .all the best answers we can find for the many prdblems the coming years will ibring. ,I !believe the Economic Oouncil can Ibe of great assistance to your Council in the coming years and I urge you to continue ~o support it. It has Ibeena really interesting year -of 'adivity for me and I a'm most g11ateful for the opportunity of serving as your r~re- sentative to this body. All of which is respectfully submitted. >.., CHAS, 1.

Il 180 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL WEED INSPECTO!!'S REPORT November Sessions 1966 To the W,arden and Mem'bers of the Elgin County CouncilJ The following is my Teport on Weed Contr-ol in -the County of E'lgin for 1~6'5. The farmers of Elgin County hav:~ had ,a fairly good year; hay was a !big -crop ,and -wheat, corn and fbeans a~lso yielded well. Rain was not too. plentiful and most farmers woul-d hav.e wel- comed a little' more. ,Farm help 'W.as scarce and therefore it 'was hard to keep the weeds under ,control~'. There were some rea.lly clean fields of beans and corn while others iwere not SP clean and a few thai look- ed as ,though no weed control had ,been exercised. 'Farmers who have spnWHs and use them at 'the right time with the proper ,chemi'ca:~ and, in ,accord-ance with the instrucM Oons usually ha've JHtl,~ trouhle keeping weeds under control. We-ed control on.pravincial Highwaysha!> shqwn :improv~- ment the last couple of years and while some COUI1-ty roads were mowed u ~ittle too late this was due l,argely to a .\)hortage of help. Townshilp roads were ahout the same as other years with some being s.prayed too late. There were many dirty pasture fields this year and these \vere fields that are pastured year after year. B'\lll Thistles, Wild Carrot, Goat Beard, Wild Lettuce undGolqeprod were most :prevalent a114 aH these weeds could ,be controlled with the proper treatment a;nd it wpulcJ. not be necessary to take cattle off ,the pas~ ture. (Milk weed is tncre~sing on road sides_,and in m,any fi,elc;ls and is one of the hardest we~ds to <;:o~'trol. Goat Beard is also showM in~up in 'Alany areas in the Gounty. (R,aUways gi<ve me some trouble and it :i5 diff1.cu1t to ,get the ranways to do much !by way of .weed ;control. Th'e'Y say they are short of mOlwers and help. The weeds on some subdivisjon lots had to {be cur. and the cost co1:lected in the taxes. ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL 181 Quite 'a humber of complaints were received and many no~ Hces to cut Iweeds ;were given ou.t. I rece-wed no reports of Cro,p damage by sprayjng during ,1966. In closing my report' I wish to thank- aU' County and Town~ ship -officials who'co~operatedwith m'e, in helping to control 'weeds in Elgin County in 196'6. 411 of which is respectfuUy submitted.
