Reporting on the Industrial
Development Corporation, Dr.
Mills said some red tape was still
holding: up, the corporation
shares. He said the money that
had been put into the
corporation had been placed in a
trust fund and had not. been
touched. Legal and other costs
would probably amount to some
$3,000 and funds for this were
provided through the Industrial
Commission. -
Shares have been printed and
would be distributed as soon as
the last of red tape between the
corporation and, the Ontario
Securities Commission was
cleared- Once _this_ is' clPared,
it perhaps by the end of this year,
active sale of shares will begin.
The purpose of the Industrial
Development Corporation is to
provide low interest funds to
companies that wish to locate in
Godefich.
All funds are held in trust and

Regional government
8-10 years away -MPP
• Murray Gaunt, MPP for
Huron -Bruce, visited county'
council Friday afternoon and
fielded some rather sticky'.
questions from councillors.
Through' it allMr Gaunt
maintained he was expressing
"strictly personal views" and
was not toeing any party line.
He told council the official
plan for the county is a "good
idea." He also eased council's
mind with the news that, in his
opinion, regional government is
at least eight to 10 years away in ,
this part of the province.
"County school boards have
given the government second
thoughts," he said. He did
predict that when regional
government does come the swing
will be to regional school boards.
He voiced some concern over
the "continued pressure towards
centralization." He said farms
and businesseswere getting
"bigger and fewer" and
governments are getting "bigger
and bigger."
"When the. little man gets the
feeling that all he has to do is
foot the bill, then I think we are.
in real trouble," said Mr. Gaunt.
Wilmer Hardy, Colborne,
asked Mr. Gaunt whether or not
the county should be interested
in a county welfare system. Mr.
Gaunt told council the system
would likely prove more
expensive -and members -of—Ch--nstmas
council would have to decide1,,
whether the improved quality of light contest
service would justify the extra
tax dollars. •
"Look well before you leap,"
was his advice.
In the !hatter of assessment,
the MPP told council that all
assessment will eventually be
.done on the 'basis of current
market valueTwhat a willing
buyer would (give to a willing
seller.
He predicted a substantial
shift of tax load to private
homes and farms because it will
be easier to put a real value on
private holdings than on
business.
"Homes and farms are sold
every day," he noted. "I think
there are going to be some real
problems. The government has
said that ,in five years yoi.r can
have the assessing back. I suggest
to you that in five years you
won't want it back."

Chances are, if you're like the rest of us, you
leave the best gifts to the last. It's natural. Gifts ,
for the extra special people in yoiir life have to
be just that—extra special. But this Christmas,
if you've left it to the end—it's not the end.
There are still enough days (and more impor-
tant) enough Philips dealers near you so that you
can be extra special for all those people you really
care about. And for a lot less than you'd expect.

students were each assigned
groups' for the day.
Each group made a
picture -poster conveying
different ideas. These covered
such topics as happiness,
suffering, communkcation, life
and love.
Miss Kennedy talked about
teenagers, loneliness and
discovering self. Afterwards,
Sister Eileen, with her guitar,
helped students practice for the
folk mass.
A supper was served by the,
ladies. In conclusion to a most
enjoyable day, each group put
on a skit 'pertaining to what they
had learned or' discovered that
day.

Another complaint made was
that a principal's relief had to
