Mr.. Rudd'stalk was on
"Leadership" dealing with the
types of leadership, and what
kind of a leader are you?
He classified leadership into
three types: autocratic, demo-
cratic and free reign.
Autocratic leadership, is wh-
ere one person makes all de-
cisions. This is not an ideal
type; workers are often unhap-
py, but the end product is good
and makes for a successful bus-
iness financially, he said.
The democratic type of lead-
ership is where some authority.
is delegated• to the workers.
In this type, production is good,
steady and ,systematic, he said,
but this often produced another
kind of leadership, a free reign
type. The latter type varied

Math Lectures
Over Tuesday
Tuesday evening wound up
the course on Modern Mathe-
matics sponsored by the local
branch of the OPSMTF. For
six weeks William S. Nediger,
BA, head of the Mathematics
department at CHSS, lectured
to 150 of Huron's public school
teachers on the new course in
mathematics:
Set theory, non decimal TIO -
talion and .the underlying prin-
ciples of our number system
formed the basis of his lectures.
Over and over he emphasized
that the new approach in math-
ematics is aimed at bringing
about a greater understanding
of our number system and how
it works.
That 107 teacher's had per-
fect attendance suggests the
high level of interest exhibited
in this course.

Councillor Thompson then
read from a statement he had
prepared, which we quote in
part:
"There seems to be some
hesitancy on the +it of the
council to seriously consider
the adoption of the National
Building Code and Fart II and
III af' the Muni'cipal' ,planning
apt. It is unfortunate that this
condition should exist.
"The town is facing a situa-
tion where the present revenue
from taxes is not going to meet
its obligations. Inview of this
there seems to be only one 'tt1-
ing to do, increase the revenue:
This can be done in two ways:
One •--- increase the tax burden
on the present taxpayers which
I am sure xnore .of us are anx-
ious to see, or two -- increase
the number of taxpayers, par-
ticularily :industrial taxpayers
and, thereby try to hold the
present assessment rate at a
reasonable figure.
"We have had Mr, John Pear-
son of the Municipal Planning
Department here and he has
told us, based on his experience
and knowledge that we should
adopt the National Building
Code and Part 11 and III of
the Planning Act of Ontario is
our first step in making plans
and creating an environment
that will be conclusive to in-
dustry being interested in com-
ing to our town.
"I ask you to consider
more seriously and more urg-
ently the adoption of the Nat-
ional Building Code and Part
II and III of the Ontario Plan-
ning Mt."
Tlie clerk and councillor Th-
ompson differed on which gr-
oup (the town or the planning
board) should act first. The
