Leroy, Thiel Zurich, in sub.
matting the committee report,
pointed out that at the present
time, the assessors employed
by municpalities are able to
carry on without a licence. How.
ever, should an assessor ter. -
urinate his employment with a
municpality then his replace.
ment must be a licensed party.
Very shortly there will be
a number of municipalities with.
in Huron County faced with the
problem of engaging a licensed
assessor to carry on the neo,.
essary work. In Huron County
there are about four qualified
assessors who might be avail-
able for employment either at
the local level or on the county
basis.
The committee repor• ted that
with the establishment of c runty
.assessment in practically all
counties in Ontario now, these
people become very valuable.
County Clerk -treasurer J.G.
Berry estimated the -cost of the
new system at about 3100,000
per .year. .
County Assessor A. A. Alex.
ander said it was not his idea
at all but Huron County was just
starting to get into the squeeze.
when licensed assessors are re.
quired. He estimated that a
staff of eleven persons would be _
'rfeedec " iriciiiding-sevenquify
qualified ones and several
others in training.

«BRAVE CONI:UCT" =- As an example of how hard it isto
win a George Gross, here is. the recommendation, for the action
of an officer. and sapper in Aden, which only rated a "Comanenda,
tion for Brave Conduct?", ••
moor Emery was in charge of .a Beath Survey Party between:
Ros Momi and, Fahr .making a passage in two Geiniel batt,
one of the boats broached on a wave crest and .one oat its omcta
pants Corporal Palmer, was flung into the sea and badly in.
lured by the Gemini's propellor, Major Emery recovered the
injured. man, administered morphine.. and put in.toland at Mutayaf.
He deccided Cpl. Palmers wounds necessitated imMediate medi..
cal attention, some three . day's travel by land away at base camp.
To save time he decided to make the journey by sea taking
Cpl. Paskell with him. Without any •knowledge of the prevailing
tidal currents and with only a small hand compass to navigate
.the notorious reef -strewn eastern end of the "island.' Major
Emery and his companion made the dangerous jot bey ,by
night passage and • having, collected the Medical Officer began
their return journey to Mutayaf. By skilful handling, with .the
assistance of Cpl. Paskell, who swain alongside the boat to
keep it from overturning, a successful landing was made. The'
injured man was subsequently evacuated by helicopter'.

ISRAELIS DILEMMA - Israel's victories have eliminated
Many • of the points in dispute over the 'past 20 years. What-
ever happens now . Syrian guns will not fire down on 'the' Upper
Jordan valley; 'Jerusalem will not be divided; the anomaly of
the: Gaza strip will probably be eliminated. Wherever, the new
frontier between Israel and Jordan is drawn, it will not run
within 12 miles of the coast. But Israel itself is no longer the
homogeneous state its Zionist leaders .founded. Two and a half
million Jews now control territory containing nearly one and a
half million Arabs and whatever settlement is made on the West
bank, Arabs are likely in future to make up at least a quarter
of the population of Israel; a multiracial population in which the
minority group is potentially hostile.

THE LAST SHANGRI-LA - The Hippies have vegan going
to Nepal. in numbers because of the soothing pace of life there.
However the authorities don't care for them and are refusing
their visas. How has Nepal managed to retain its primitive
way of life? Topography and lack of roads have.helped; but
Nepal never came tinder colonial . rule. Nowa it is rapidly be.
coming a playground for power politics. The countries which
have subsidized it in descendingorder are: U.S.A., India, with
the Russians and Chinese equal third. Where is 'Britain? She
pays 15,000 Gurkha troops - now being cut to 10,000 and.thus
supplies 20 percent of Nepal's bard currency. The King would
like to have the U.N. use his men as soldiers, but the U.N. is
not prepared to pay them. Meanwhile Nepal aspires to become
the 'Switzerland' of the Asian sub.continent; the last Shangri.

:TOO OLD AT 65. - It used to be 45, but. a. hospital in England
recently' posted memo on the staff notice board to the effect
that -patients over 65 were not to be resuscitated in the event
of cardiac failure. Misunderstanding was obviously invited by
such a statement, but it was explained that the physician super.
intendent had put into 'words something that could not be for-
mulated without distortion. This sounds a pretty lame excuse •
for a clumsy attempt to write as a rule, a practice diametrically
opposed to the credo of the medical profession i.e. to keep
the patient alive as long as humanly possible. With this'mis...,
understanding' removed those who have exceeded three` score
and five can take on a new lease oflife.

TREASURE TROVE - There are-, all the makings of another :.
international incident in the discovery, off the' Scillies in south.
west Britain of .6 million pounds sterling worth of guineas,
crowns and pieces of eight.' These were captured in the 18th
century by, the fleet commanded by Sir Clowdesley 'Shovel).
Returning home, loaded to the gills, his flagship, H.M.S. As.
sociation and two other ships foundered off the Scilly Isles.
Recently an old •map of the period was found which marked
"Shovel. Rock". A private team has been given a contract by
the British government with sole rights of recovery of the
treasure. The scuba divers say: "It's a carpet of silver and
gold right across the sea bed." This bullion was captured from
French and Portugese sources; It only remains for de Gaulle
to say: Nonl to British ownership.
