What You Need
1. Accounting
Accounting is the art of measuring business
activities.
In this day and age, no business can get along without
keeping some sort of accounting records. The
businessman himself, his associates, insurance
agents, bankers, prospective creditors and purchas-
ers all might wish to know where the business was, is
and will be going.
2. Taxes
Nobody likes them, yet they seem to affect
everybody's lives.
No major business decision can be made without
considering its potential tax effect.
With the complexity of the tax laws, are you prepared
to "face the government" alone?
3. Business Consulting
Running a successful business requires much more
than knowledge of accounting and taxes. First and
foremost your practical knowledge of your particular
business is required. However, there will be
instances where you would wish to draw on the
expertise of professional business consultants with
their specialized knowledge and resources.

Ministry of Health wants compulsory rabies vaccination in Huron County
B Y BOB MURPHY
The ministry of health has
requested the Huron County Board
of Health to initiate a preliminary
proposal for a compulsory rabies
vaccination program.
The board informed Huron
County council of the ministry
approach during a report present-
ed Thursday during the last
session of the current council.
Such a program would include
an arrangement with the Huron
County veterinarians and it is
estimated that the preliminary
BY BOB MURPHY
Huron County council learned
Thursday that the cost of its
insurance program has increased
nearly 100 per cent.
Beginning Jan. 1, 1986, the
county will pay a "tentative"
annual premium of $102,292. In
comparison to the 1985 premium of
$55,000, this year's insurance
costs have nearly doubled.
News of the premium hike was
reported to council by its executive
committee which recommended
renewing the insurance coverage
at the new premium.
The acting executive committee
chairman, Coun. William Elston
(Morris reeve) told council the
major portion of the overall
increase was in its liability cover-
age.
In spite of the hefty increase,
Elston said the county "was very
fortunate to have our insurance go
up only by this amount." The
committee in reviewing the new
rates as proposed by its agent,
heard of cases where the liability
coverage rates had been increased
by considerably larger percent-
ages.
Coun. Bill Mickle (Exeter reeve)
said some municipalities might be
facing increases as high as 300 per

There may also be a market for
grain bins and aerators in the
future.
He is sometimes asked, Mr.
Cardiff said, what all this talk of
trade with China means right here
in Huron county but any trade in
Canadian agriculture will benefit
everyone eventually.
In addition he can see possibility
of sales of road graders from
Goderich or farm milling systems
from Gorrie.
Twinning of Canadian provinces
and Chinese provinces has taken
place. There has also been twinn-
ing of universities between the two
countries, something he sees as
beneficial to Canada in the long run
because Chinese young people
educated in Canada will go home
and take up positions of reponsi-
bility and hold Canada in favour
because of their familiarity with
this country.
The Canada-China agriculture
committee was also discussing
possibilities of further trade in the
livestock sector. Last spring the
two countries signed a health
agreement for trade in livestock,
dairy cattle semen poultry and
some plant quarantine arrange-
ments.
While in China he had a senior
government official approach him
about the availability of ginseng
from Canada, a crop now grown in
small quantities in Ontario but with
potential for much growth. "I
never thought of China being a
market for ginseng grown in
Ontario," he said, "but just being
there we get those opportunities."
"People say what's going to
happen down the road but if we
establish a good relationship, and
we have a good relationship with
China, that we'll continue to be
favoured to any country in the
world to do business with. We still
have to be competitive but we
certainly are favoured."
phase of preparing the program
could take up to two months.
Formal submission for board
approval is expected to take place
sometime in January, council was
told.
The board acknowledges that
one of the drawbacks to such a
program is the difficulty in policing
and enforcing its regulations.
Huron County Medical Officer of
Health H. R. Cieslar told council
that although the species with the
highest frequency of rabies has
been the fox, the most human
cent for liability coverage and
pointed to a "judiciary system run
amok" in its granting of awards in
liability suits as the cause for the
skyrocketing rates.
"I hope that in 1986 the new
council will take a serious look at
the problem and perhaps try to find
some way of petitioning the
government for assistance," Mic-
kle said.
exposure to the disease comes
from "companion animals -- the
family dog or cat."
Dr. Cieslar said this factor could
be "greatly controlled through a
program of compulsory immuniza-
tion for family pets yet he allowed
that such a program would be
difficult to police.
"It would not be the intention of
the health unit to police the
program," he said, "itwould be an
almost impossible task for our staff
with the responsibilities they have
now."
Coun. Jack Stafford (Howick
reeve) suggested that "going to all
the trouble of drawing up a
compulsory program that you are
not going to be able to police is just
wasting your time."
Coun. Dave Johnston (Bayfield
reeve) pointed out another pro-
blem area should the program be
instituted to include all dogs and
cats. "What about the farmer,"
Johnston asked, "are we going to
force him to bring in all of his cats --
field cats and barn cats -- and how
do we do that."
