Redistribution proposals
add Perth areas to Huron
vested by parliament in an inde-
pendent commission. The com-
mission must arrange ridings
with populations of 84,649. This
total may be increased or de-
creased 25% to maximums and
minimums of 105,811, and 63,487
subject to the presence of spec-
ial factors such as area, shape
or accessibility.

there will be few of us, WhO have
se' enjoyed it, here when another
rolls around. It. has been a year
Is there anything more
delightful to watch than the danc-
ing eyes of a young child as he
gazes in wonder at the tree on
Christmas morning. From the tip
of its shining star, to the glowing
lights, to the host of gift wrapped
parcels beneath its laden
boughs, it is a sight of mysterious
beauty to him. Who could want to
miss his first glimpse of it on •
Christmas morn.

The elections are behind us,
though many say we will face
another federal one in the near
future. Christmas, with all its
hustle and bustle, has come and
gone. Perhaps now we can all
settle down to more normal living
and go about our daily routines
without our thoughts racing
helter, skelter, from this to that,
and concentrate on' what we are
at the moment engaged in.

and happy times. Our celebrat-
ions proved that natives of our
village, and others who have
lived here in the past years,
even though they be scattered
far and wide, still retain fond
recollections of Brussels. They
came back to celebrate with Us.

Work crews were busy early
last week with snow removal from
the business section. Most people
appreciated it - Motorists, be-
cause it made parking much
easier and pedestrians found it
easier to cross the street un-
hampered by snow banks.

Co-operation among mer-
chants, organizations, etc. makes
arranging for various events
much easier and fosters good
relations among all. This was
evident in the Santa Claus parade,
even though the weather wrought
havoc with it. The Business
Association, Lions, Legion, all
worked together. Our firemen
deserve credit also for they were
re3oonslble for the colorful

The' federal riding of Huron
will be increased to include a
population of 74,038 i f recom-
mendations "of the Federal Elec-
toral Boundaries Commission for
Ontario are adopted.
Before the changes become
official there will be formal hear-
ings and the Commission will
' submit its proposals to the Com-
mons where M.P's may request
changes. Final decision, however
on where the boundaries lie,
rests with the Commission.
Redistribution does not be-
come effective at the earliest
until late next year.
Under the proposal the riding
of Huron is enlarged to include
three added municipalities from
Middlesex and six from Perth.
These are the township of East
and west Williams and the towns
of Parkhill from Middlesex.
From Perth will be added the
townships of Blanshard, Full-
arton. and Hibbert and the towns
of St. Marys and. Mitchell.
Perth riding is shown with
a population of 77,907. While
losing live municipalities to
Huron, 'the riding has been en-
larged by the addition of several
municipalities from Waterloo
county.
As far as certain of the Perth
municipalities are concerned the
proposals are a return to the
arrangement that existed for
several years. At that time
the then riding of Huron Perth
incl'ided Mitchell, Fullarton,Lo-
gan and Hibbert. After 1952
only Hibbert remained and it too
reverted to Perth riding following
the redistribution of 1966.
Until recent years redistri-
bution was the responsibility of
parliament but since November
1964 the responsibility has been
