An increase in the county mill
rate in 1967 was forecast by
Clerk-Treasurer John G. Berry
in his financial report to Huron
County Council last week. He
considered it "more than likely"
in view of the increased cost
entailed in setting up a new
county library system.
Mr. Berry submitted financial
statements as follows: general
account, highways account, county
health unit, county library co-
operative, Children's Aid Soc-
iety, Huron County Home.
"Generally speaking, the fin-
ancial picture appears to be
rather good. All accounts are
showing a surplus, with the ex-
ception of highways, and this
is usual during the construction
period; there seems to be no
reason why they should not con-
clude the year's activity within
their budget.
"The picture for 1967 is going
to be somewhat different. De-
partments which will more than
likely increase in cost of oper-
ation will be administration of
justice, child welfare, Huron-
view, Health unit, library, and
debenture costs will also in-
crease. There will be some re-
lief in the fact that we can divert
a portion of the hospital reserve
funds to apply against the ad-
ditional debenture cost, rather
than to continue to build up our
hospital reserve fund."
The clerk stated that, "as is
the case in all municipal fields,
the workload continues to in-
crease," and he suggested
changes to divide committee work
between the deputy clerk and him-
self so that both would not have
to attend committee meetings,
as in the past.
A SPECIAL MESSAGE TO CUSTOMERS OF THE B OF M
How we at
Canada's First Bank
put your savings
dollars to work
in 1966
Charles Smith, Manager
Exeter Branch
Bank of Montreal
This is a personal report to the customers of my
branch describing the way the Bank of Montreal
employed the money you entrusted to us in 1966.
At the Bank's year-end on October 31st, 1966,
the personal savings of people like yourself
amounted to almost half of the total deposits of
$4,995,368,152. This figure is another record high
for Canada's First Bank in its 149 years of oper-
ation. Of that total, $3,279,997,060 was on loan to
people in all walks of life.
What's more, $906,160,879 was invested in high-
grade Government bonds and public securities
which have a ready market, and $139,545,596 in
other securities — mainly short-term credits to
industry.
Yes, they were busy dollars those Savings dollars
of yours They were put right to work to help
people improve their standard of living — by fi-
nancing the purchase of cars, household goods of
all kinds and home improvements — and to assist
businesses large and small to expand, thus em-
ploying more people.
Your money went into new industries that
created new jobs helped farmers improve both
their farms and their way of living ... constructed
new schools and helped students get a better
education aided fishermen to increase their
catches and their incomes built new roads and
highways . .. supported community projects, large
and small, of many kinds.
Your savings dollars worked hard in 1966 —
hardest of all for you. And because they are stead-
ily accumulating at interest they are building a
sound investment for you and your family towards
a better future.
Speaking for Canada's First Bank, may I say
"Thank you" for your confidence in the B of M
and for the support you're giving us as we work
together to build a more prosperous Canada.

Election slated for Grand Bend
but also need second nomination
Grand Bend ratepayers will
go to the polls Monday to pick
members of council for next
year and then they'll have to go
to another nomination meeting
the following Monday to fill a
vacancy on the Stephen Township
school board.
The odd situation came about
when six of the seven men nomi-
nated for four council positions
decided to stand, while two of
the three men named for the two
school board positions declined.
The voters will be asked to
pick out four men to sit under
Reeve Ory Wassmann, who was
acclaimed to office. Candidates
are incumbents Emerson Desjar-
dine, Douglas Martin and Howard
Green. They will get opposition
from James Connelly, Peter De-
Jong and John Teevins.
One member of last year's
council, John Manore, did not
qualify.
Veteran school board W. F. B.
MacLaren surprised the audience
when he reported he did not in-
tend to stand. He said it was pos-
sible that a younger person would
be more useful on the board.
D. W. Harrison, who had been
nominated, said that he was sur-
prised to see his name on the
board and explained he could not
stand because his business takes
him out of the resort for '70%
of his time.
He said it wouldn't be fair to
take on such an important re-
sponsibility without being able
to give it his undivided attention
and time.
The other sitting member of
the board, Don Flear, qualified
and is therefore acclaimed to
office.
Mr, MacLaren, who was given
a standing ovation by the large
turnout in recognition of his val-
ued service, told the ratepayers
that to some extent education
"is getting out of hand".
He said it was becoming more
expensive every year, but added
that he was in agreement that it
was necessary to have an educa-
tion in this day and age,
The druggist said he was not
in favor of the government paying
the total cost of university edu-
cation, as some students have
suggested,
He said the average university
student was capable of getting
out to get a job in the summer
to pay a considerable portion of
his education. MacLaren noted
there are scholarships, bur-
saries and loans available for
those who can't make enough
money in a summer.
"I can't see where we should
be saddled with the cost of pro-
viding university education," he
said, adding that he felt we were
also reaching the stage where
all schools would have to be
utilized for 12 months in the
year.
In concluding his report, the
veteran official paid tribute to
Flear for his work on the board.
He also explained that he
thought that the new playroom
at the resort public school should
be made available for all legiti-
mate purposes that add to the
betterment of the community.
"It wasn't built for show," he
said, noting he was disturbed
that a recent teenage dance club
had been denied use of the new
facility.
MacLaren also reported for
the SIIDHS board and Clayt Math-
ers gave the report for the For-
est board which has now been
changed in name to the North
Larribton Secondary School.
After reporting on the need
for additions, he said he hoped
the big expenditure in schools
would soon ease up.

MacNaughton
— Continued from front page
While the work load for the
Huron MPP will certainly not
decline, he did indicate the new
post will require much less tra-
velling than that of his former
position.
Looking back on his duties as
minister of highways, he said he
liked to think that he had ac-
complished several things in the
field.
At the Grand Bend meeting—
the first public appearance in
the area since his appointment
— Mr. MacNaughton amused the
crowd by reporting his first duty
as treasurer had been to sign
his oath.
