has already discussed such an ap-
proach. "All I'm saying is that
▪ Wingham and the rest of Huron
County need to he asaggressive as
possible in this area."
There are too many other muni-
cipalities aggressively trying to
snatchaway business which is in-
terested in moving or expanding, he
said, further reason for Wingham to
take every opportunity "to show its
O.
stuff to the world."
- He encouraged the town to par-
ticipate in the upcoming Opportu-
nities Tour which is being co-
ordinated by the Ointario Ministry of
Industry, Trade and 'Technology.
The tour will bringa large group
of international business people —

Thursday's address iviis the:
id
opportunity for Mr. Riddell to speak
before such a group in the northern
part of the new Huron riding since
the provincial election last fall.
Wingham has an adtiye and for-
ward-looking group of business
people and the asscacciatidn is taking
the right approach in its efforts to
attract new industry and tourism
the area, he said. "We need, an ac-
tive force in this community en-
couraging orderly growth of this
area which we all know has much to
offer in terms of transportation,
work force and location.
He said several encouraging signs
give rise to optimism in the local
business community. Expansion at

lie also singled out the
ssociation's contribution to. the
owntown parking shortage through
he creation of a new parking lot on
'ctoria Street West.
The municipality also has done its
part in keeping the town looking
Bern with projects such as the
s renovations to the Armouries nil
ew fireball and -new libr __ as w•
ice station. In addition, studies
are currently underway to deter
mine the recreational needs of th
community, and - to consider th
possible rehabilitation of the pa
land adjacent to the Maitland River
Mr. Riddell acknowledged that th
provincial government also has
hand in helping communities such a
Wingham, and business people such
as those in the association. "As a
government, we have given priority
to helping those businesses and
municipalities ..., . willing to help
themselves."
Mr. Riddell also told the
association „ the government is
making progress with its plans to
reconstruct Highway 4 between
Blyth and Wingham rather than just
repaving the road as originally
proposed. Further engineering
studies will be conducted this year
and construction is expected to
begin in the 1989-90 fiscal year.
The first stage of the project will
be from Huron Road 20 in Belgrave
North to Highway 86 in Wingham,
followed immediately by the section

Human Immunodeficiency Virus
(HIV) is the internationally ac-

carries AIDS. While there is
currently some controversy among
scientists concerning whether or not
HIV alone is the AIDS -causing virus,
this has generally been accepted as
the case by most professionals.
