The newspaper, called the Disney Times, is from Disneyland and in one section there is a story about the Disney family. In a column called the Archives by Dave Smith the origins of the Disney family are explained. "The Disney family had its origins in Insigny-sur-Mer, a small village near Bayeux in Normandy, Which has been. iri existence since Roman times. Its name is taken from Isis and ignis, or the fire of Isis. Isis was the Egyptian goddess of motherhood. Isigny is only a few kilo- meters from the Omaha and Utah Beaches, where D-Day landings took place in 1944. It has a population today of only a few thousand.

Management service planned in Wingham The Federal Business Dev- elopment Bank's Manage- ment Services will hold a management seminar for small business in Wingham, at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall on November 22. The day's program will deal with taxation as it applies 'to the small business person, an area of growing concern these days when every penny counts. Several members of the local business community are expected to attend the sem- inar on November 22. Using the case study met- hod, and with the expert advise of a chartered accoun- tant, they will examine prob- lems of taxation in a small business, the correct met- hods of tax calculation and the steps a small business person can take to reduce the amount of tax'payables. Some of the problems to be discussed during the day include the choice of a year- end, the tax implications of incorporation, divident pay- ments, the employment of a spouse, and year-end bon- uses, among others. The goal of this seminar is to provide the small business person with an insight into some of the basic problems. Further, it is intended to help him/her to recognize prob- lems when they arise, so that they can then seek the ap- propriate advice.
