REFRESH ING ANNOUNCEMENT
We are, • not an'. expert on the needs of .thee Bruce and Huron,
County School Boards,' but the choices of Clinton .and Chesley as the.
headquartersfor the two boards: is,' if nothing 'else, "refreshing."
For many years we have ; seen Walkerton and Goderich, the
county towns,come up with allthe nice little."plums which help to -
make a community' grow, The little fellows, like Lucknow, continually
have an up hill battle to acquire the slightesthtest benefit for their com-
munity.
ommunity..
Whether' or not Clinton 'and Chesley will prove ideal'locations
• for the operation of the county school systems remains to be seen ,but
it pleases 'us' to see that men :and women from .various parts: of the.
counties •'of Huron and . Bruce are confident that ,:these towns .have
• an important place to. 'play. in the future of this area. Clinton isnot
suffering'to any 'great :,degree, . but the location of ,the Bruce: board in'.
Chesley is a . substantial boost to this small community who we .con-
sider as "one of us",

Raynard Ackert of . Holyrood• drew to Our attention • this past:...
week 'a clipping in a district- daily, newspaper which is worthy of
mention. Seems that .Municipal Affairs minister, Darcy McKeough,
speaking to the Ontario Legislature, assured a municipally -employed :: s-
,lessors that they will still have ;a job;when the government' takes over.
assessment responsibilities between now and next'. -January
The punch punch line, which RaYpard mentioned ed ao us . and - which � is
typical: of .all departments of government" once they , get their "fingers
inthe pie. stated:
° - "There are now 1250'. licensed assessors in Ontario and'theP rov-".

ment civil •servant, he is only. about 12/19th asuseful as he was before.
THE TIME HASCOME
The time has come when we might as well give _up the idea that
there is any line of communication .between the Common Man and
