FEDERAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BANK Progress reports . on '78 international County agrees Farmers, business people and representatives of service clubs and Women's Institutes gathered recently to hear progress reports on the 1978 International Plowing Match, which will be held just east of Wingham. Host farmer is Jim Armstrong. His land and that of several neighbors will provide the site of the big match. "There is no way to even estimate the amount of money that is left in a community during the five days of an International," said John Stephens, president of the OPA, "not to mention the friendships which are made and the goodwill which can be generated for the community." Mr. Stephens paid tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Roy Bennett of Wingham for the tremendous job they do at every International. Roy is a member of the publicity committee and takes char ,ge of the daily parades which are a feature of the match. OPA secretary manager Ed. Starr outli ned the relationship between the local committee and the Ontario Plowmen's Assoc. and the way in which expenses and revenues are divided. The first International was held in 1913 and has been growing ever since. Mr. Starr said the OPA collects all revenues from space sold to the tented city, which contains 16,000 feet of frontage for exhibitors on lots 100 feet deep. Last year at Oshawa, for example, there were five "streets" of exhibits, with tents and booths lining both sides of the streets — 400 in all. Space rates are divided into two classes. Those who simply exhibit their products pay $7.00 per foot frontage; those who are selling merchandise or food pay $14.00 (By Shirley J. Keller) As a result of a decision at Huron County Council last Friday, grants to hospitals in Huron undergoing renovation and expansion will receive up to 25 percent of all provincial approved costs from the ratepayers of Huron County. But to be eligible for the grants, all hospital build- ing or renovation programs must have the written approval of all hospital boards in the county, and all grants will be approved by E. Wawanosh The Council of the Township of East Wawanosh adopted the 1976 budget as presented by the Treasurer, at their July 6 meet- ing, The budget estimates for the year 1976 will require the follow- ing rates. The total mill rate for Business and Commercial, including County; Township and Schools is 124, mills, up from 115. hints in 1975. The Farm and Residential is a total of 108, mills, up from 100. mills in 1975. This increase is due to Elementary and Secondary School rates, The Roman Catholic Separate School supporters will have a total mill rate of 112.245 mills, up from 103.359 mills in 1975. Auburn inc reared in Business and Commercial 101.043 mills from 91.551 mills in 1975. Farm and Residential increased to 89,013 Mills froth 80:086 Mills in 1975, As above, these mill rates have increased to accommodate the ire tease in Education Levys.

The local committee receives the money from parking fees and aportion of admissions to the grounds. This year in Bruce the 'Bank of Montreal will provide all the necesssary manpower for ticket sales. A Contract is drawn up between the local committee and the OPA on division of admission fees, by which the OPA assumes responsibiity for any deficit. Speaking of the enthusiasm which is generated locally, Mr. Starr said that if the International was held on a permanent site there would be nowhere near the spontaneous participation by farmers and business people. "We could never hire the kind of people we get on the present voluntary basis," he declared, Wintario Draw A big feature of the 1976 match will be the Wintario draw, which will be made in Walkerton on the Thursday evening of International week. The awards banquet will be held on Friday evening at Kincardine, and 2,000 tickets have been printed for that ' one occasion. There are many questions from the floor in relation to the banquet plans. Members of the Women's Institutes in the Walkerton area will cater for the dinner and detailed planning has to be completed • well in advance for that event alone. Question Period Howard Datars, of Dashwood, chair:marl of the local committee for the 1978 match, chaired the meeting and fielded questions from the audience of nearly 100. Jim Armstrong of Wingham to continue county council on the recom- mendation of the Executive Committee. Administrator Bill Hanly said the reasoning behind the motion was to ensure that all hospital boards in the county were agreed on the building priorities. "I' the hospital boards can't decide among themselves, then perhaps the county shouldn't be making a donation to that addi- tion," stated Mr. Hanly. "It is a good change," said Municipality or upon any high- ways therein, was given the necessary readings and passed. The following building permits were approved and issued: N. Vincent, M.

Don Pullen of Clinton, the Huron Ag. Rep., is a key man in the entire organization in his capacity as secretary. Doug McNeil, reeve of Colborne Township and chairman of Goder- ich Alexandra Marine and General Hospital Board. "As I see it today, I'm not disapproving of it at all. But anything can happen, I grant you." Reeve McNeil was referring to a fear expressed by Exeter Reeve Derry Boyle that "hard feelings and difficulties for county council" were ahead because of the added clause in the bylaw. "If we're spending county money, why should the hospital boards have anything to say?" asked Howick Reeve Bob Gibson. "I think it is in order that we put that clause in," commented Reeve Anson McKinley, Stanley Twp, "The council of the day can decide on merit if all hospitals aren't in agreement." "In the next two years there might be considerable change in the funding to hospitals," suggested Reeve Ed Oddleifson, Bayfield: OPEN FOR BUSINESS HOUSE PAINTING Indoors g Outdoors Decorating Please Cohtact Hank Exel Phone 887.6772 Hui 77, tittitSels, Oat: Huronview Staff program great success The variety program for Family Night was provided by members of the staff and was rated by the residents as one of the best, This was the first all staff program and as it was such a tremendous success, we hope to have a repeat performance in the near future.
