Some friends celebrated
recently with Mr. & Mrs. Max
Hodgins, the occasion being their
25th wedding anniversary. A few
evenings later they returned
uninvited and celebrated again
with a good old fashioned
shivaree.
Andrew Glen, son of Mr. & Mrs.
Ken Eagleson, and brother of
Jamie, was baptized at the
United Church service Sunday
by the Rev. Harley Moore.
Following the service guests at
their home were: Mr. & Mrs.
Melvin King, Mr. & Mrs, Russell
King, Mr. & Mrs. Wayne King,
Gia and Kevin, Eugene King and
Karen Kernick, all of the
Crediton and Exeter area, Mrs.
Rose Isaac, Mr. & Mrs. Morley
Eagleson and Scott and Mr. &
Mrs. Jim Eagleson.
Grace Eagleson, Sarnia, was a
Sunday visitor with Mr, & Mrs.
Carman Woodburn,
By the way: Pat and Mike
arrived at the Pearly Gates.
"Sure, and it's a phoine snap ye
have here, St. Peter, holding
down this soft job century after
century, never needing to worry
about inflation, strikes, or change
of administration."
"Ah, but you must bear in
mind, Patrick and Michael,"
rejoined St. Peter, "That in
Paradise, a million years are but
a moment, and a million dollars
are but a cent."
"Then, will you loan us each a
cent?" asked the paid.
"Certainly," assented St.
Peter, "in a minute!"

By JACK RIDDELL
MPP Huron-Middlesex
In his budget statement last
April, the Provincial Treasurer
expressed the opinion that the
economy was strong and ex-
panding and we must rely on
"private sector expansion to
generate growth and em-
ployment." He also said he was
providing stronger incentives to
Ontario's small business com-
panies.
However, the Treasurer did
little more than eliminate some
of the burdensome paperwork
involved in the Government's tax
credit scheme, The number of
companies to benefit under the
new provisions increased to
50,000 from 20,000 but in reducing
the tax rate from 12 per cent to 9
per cent the Treasurer did not
provide one extra penny to small
businessmen in Ontario. He
himself admitted that the $30
million cost of the reduced tax
rate was identical to the cost of
the tax credit scheme which the
tax reduction replaced.
The net result was that a larger
number of businesses had to
divide the same size pie into
smaller pieces.
The United States is the home
base for many multinational
conglomerate industrial and
financial giants. However, in 1;165
the U.S. Congress amended the
Small Business Act, saying that
"the essence of the American
economic system of private
enterprise is free competition.
Only through full and free
competition can free markets,
free entry into business, and
opportunities for the expression
and growth of personal initiative
and individual judgement be
assured. The preservation and
expansion of such competition is
basic not only to the economic
well-being but to the security of
this nation.
Such security and well-being
cannot be realized unless the
actual and potential capacity of
small business is encouraged and
developed.
Small business is flexible and
able to adapt quickly to changes
in the market. It possesses great
potential for technological in-
novation, is labour-intensive and
can create new jobs much more
cheaply than capital-intensive
industries. A study of small and
medium-sized businesses
recently released by the
European Economic Community,
points to a small firms sector as
the means of reducing alienation
and social tensions.
The study states that: "Since
small and medium-sized un-
dertakings are so important for
job stability and the maintenance
of industrial peace, all social
legislation should be geared
towards maintaining in-
dependent businesses."
Liberal Leader Stuart Smith
has said often that we must
support the small businessman,
because the small business sector
represents the important values
of our society the real place
where free enterprise works to
the benefit of all. Small
businesses today need access to
management expertise, to cheap
and efficient ways of handling
data and bookkeeping, and to
information about the capital
markets. They require increased
access to guaranteed bank loans,
a reduction in government
paperwork, and a shift in tax
relief far labour-intensive
businesses,
Dr. Smith believes that "our
concepts of job training and
retraining need expanding. We
put people into expensive capital-
intensive vocational schools and
community colleges when small
businesses are crying out for
people whom they would gladly
train. We should be considering
adapting the apprenticeship
system, with the government
contributing to the wage that the
trainee is earning while he or she
learns the job. This would be a
way of helping small businesses
which currently find labour costs
their greatest problem."
Members frequently receive
enquiries about small business
opportunities, and financing of
small businesses. These
enquiries come from people who
wish to establish their own
business, or from people who
plan to expand their present
enterprise.
We usually put them in touch
with the Provincial or Federal
Agency which can be of most
assistance, Some of these sources
of financing and assistance are as
follows:
The Ontario, the Eastern
Ontario and the Northern Ontario
Development Corporations,
located on the 4th Floor of the
Mowat Block at Queen's Park.
These corporations have regional
offices in London, Orillia,
Ottawa, Kingston, Thunder Bay,
Timmins and Sudbury,
The Development Corporations
and the Federal Business
Development Bank offer term
loans to new and existing
businesses in Canada which are
unable to obtain the required
financing from other lenders on
reasonable terms and conditions.
Counselling Assistance to Small
Enterprises (CASE) is also
available.
The Department of Industry,
Trade and Commerce of 112 Kent
Street, Ottawa, also offers
various financial and advisory
programs in the areas of
research and development, in-
dustrial productivity, marketing
and management.
Also the Department of
Finance, Place Bell Canada,
Ottawa, offers loans under the
Small Business Loans Act; Farm
and Fisheries Improvement.
Loans. TheDepartment of Man-
power and Immigration offers
assistance under the Adult
Occupational Training Program.
