The concept of investing in the local economy through 'community bonds' has been popular in Western Canada but is fairly new in Ontario, said Nichol. The new share corporation would invest in the following types of businesses: businesses which expand into new product lines or export markets; firms which add value to locally -grown products; tourism establishments which expand the local tourism base; enterprises which use existing infra- structure and industries relocating to the area.

The recently -amalgamated Huron Business Development Corporation, located m Seaforth, is currently preparing a proposal for the new organization. A survey has been sent to businesses and groups seek- ing their input into the formation of the Huron County Community Investment Share Corporation. "Local investors can put their money into new corporations," explained Paul Nichol, Community Development Coordinator. "Money can be pooled and invested in local business ventures." He says the proposal allows people to "invest in themselves." The proposal requires the appro- val of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. The Ministry is looking for signs there is enough investor inter- est in Huron County for the pro- posed organization. The new share corporation is a project of the Huron Business Development Corporation, which expects to lend $1.55 million over five years to develop businesses in Huron. Nichol says a large percentage of this year's instalment, $250,000, has already been committed. A new share corporation, however, could provide additional funds for new businesses. The new corporation might seek $500,000 from area investors. The government would guarantee that after seven years all shareholders would receive their full principal funds. In the meantime, dividends could be issued yearly at the recom- mendation of the Board of Directors (if a profit has been recorded). About 250 copies of the survey have been distributed. Nichol says he would like to see 25 to 30 of the surveys returned to his office. If anyone wants to return the survey they should do so by April 6 at the very latest. "All the ones we have had returned are supportive of the con- cept," said Nichol. "Most of them think investors in the community TIM CUMMING PHOTO MAPLEWOOD SUPPORTS CHuMS - Susan Wheatley, administrator of Maplewood Manor Retirement Residence, presents $2,000 to Don Sootheran, vice -chair of the Central Huron Mobility Service (CHuMS) Board of Directors.

Chance exists to view birds which are migrating On Saturday, April 9, the Huron Fringe Field Naturalists and the Hullett Provincial Wild- life Area invite interested people to participate in a unique oppor- tunity to view migrating water- fowl and other bird species. Participants will be provided with assistance in identifying birds and other wildlife species that may be spotted.

Interested people should meet at the Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area viewing stand at 1:30 p.m To reach the main viewing stand tum east from Highway #4 on Concession 6-7 of Hullett Township (3rd corner north of Clinton or 2nd comer south of Londesborough).

The Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area is comprised of 2200 hec- tares (5400 ac) of publicly owned land, approximately 800 hectares (2000 ac.) of which consists of manmade and natural marsh and wetland areas. While 'Hulleu' is managed primarily to provide diversified habitat for the advantage of a variety of wildlife species, a host of other benefits are provided, including: recreational opportunities such as wildlife viewing, hiking, hunting and skiing; production of agri- cultural and forest crops; educa- tional and research opportunities; etc. A number of partners, includ- ing groups like the Huron Fringe Naturalists as well as agencies, individuals and local businesses, work with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources in the management of 'Hulleu' through contributions of time, expertise and finances.
