Week. Sponsored by the Federal Business Development Bank and
organized jointly by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and local

to recognize the supreme importance of small business activity in

manage personnel effectively. A workshop entitled "Building Your
Enterprise Through People" will be offered across the country to
show entrepreneurs how they can develop their potential for
growth by having the right people in the right places at the right
time.

portance of small business to our economy and honor those who
start and manage small businesses.

workshops _may do so at Port Elgin on Oct. 25 (call 271-5650);

Welcome to the club Denise
:4 •
Public interest in serving one's community as a member of town
council, on the board of education or any of the other elective
r,posts has waned to some degree since the term of office was ex-
tended to three years. Thus it is welcome news that not all open-
ings in Wingham and surrounding townships will be filled by ac-
clamation.
We believe that all candidates deserve the commendation of the
citizens of these municipalities. Without such people local govern-
ment would eventually flounder to a halt -- and it is at the local level
that democracy is founded.
We are particularly interested in one candidate in Wingham.
Denise Wilkins is the first young person we have ever known to
seek 'public office and we can only hopethat her example will be
followed in years to come.
Certainly the problems and aspirations of young people have in-
creased in significance over the past few years. Youth are not only
our most promising investment in the future; they are growing up in
a world which presents ever more problems to' young .indult°:
Young people have more insistent needs: and*Apie faced with
greater decisions than their parents 'or grandOtitits ever con-
fronted.
Denise has been seriously interested in ;politics since her
childhood years. If elected she will face a learning period, but what
better apprenticeship than. actual service on municipal. council?
Best of all, her example may cause oun other
Y g people to take a
serious and critical look at the ways in which free people make their
public choices.
