eligible for subsidized or
geared .to income housing.
The survey was prepared
at a cost of $7,500. The entire
amount was assumed by the
Ministry of Housing.
As a result council will be

At Tuesday's regular
meeting, council learned
from Middlesex County that
a change had been made in
the amounts of each
payment to be made on the
four installments on county
levies for 1982.
Village council had earlier
given their approval to the
four installment system
which county officials said
would save about $90,000 in
interest charges.
Installments of 20 percent
eachwillnowbe forwarded to
the county on March 31 and
June 30 and 30 percent each
on September 30 and
December 20.
A bylaw was passed
authorizing a change in the
penalty and interest charges
on overdue taxes.
• The new rate will be one
and one-half percent per
month or 18 percent per
annum. Previously the
charge was 15 percent per
annum.
A number of
municipalities in Middlesex
and Huron counties who had
recently increased their
rates to as high as 24 percent
per annum have reduced
their rates to 18 percent, the
same as Lucan.

'82 big year
inMiddlesex
by Sandy Forsyth
Agricultural representative
"1982 is here." No doubt
this will be a significant year
for many good reasons.
There is one special reason
in Middlesex County,
because this is the year of
the International Plowing
Match in the county.
This five day event is the
largest outdoor agricultural
activity held in Ontario each
year. It is significant
because of the opportunity it
provides farmers to observe
and compare the latest in
services, technology,
machinery and equipment
available to them.
It is significant because it
focuses the attention of the
general public on
agriculture, and through its
activities and programs
provides an opportunity for
better rural -urban
cooperation and un-
derstanding. Essentially it
demonstrates the im-
portance of food production
to the economy and well
being of people.
It is significant because it
focuses attention on the
basic resource to farming,
the soil. Through its com-
petitions and demonstrations
it relates to the importance
of good land management.
It is particularly
significant to the people of
the county, because it is a
large and important com-
munity project that draws
people together from all
around the county.
It is significant because a
program of county exhibits,
special events, and ladies
activities, demonstrations,
that makes our community
of London -Middlesex a place
that we residents are proud
to live in and raise our
families. Essentially the
International Plowing Match
is a people event that
develops an appreciation of
agriculture for all people and
a sense of pride and com-
mitment for all who are part
of H.
It doesn't happen often, the
last International Plowing
Match was held in Middlesex
in 1928.
