That's why the Minister of Municipal Affairs set up an Advisory Committee on County Government in 1987 to study ways in which this vital segment of municipal administration could be updated to face the realities of today. He followed this up with the appointment of a Consultation Committee on County Government in 1988 which held hearings in each of Ontario's 26 counties to get YOUR views on this important topic. Taking into account suggestions made by county govern- ment representatives, members of municipal councils and interested individuals and associations, the Con- sultation Committee drew up a report containing 41 recommendations, including ways to: — strengthen local municipalities within counties; -® improve the way local municipalities are represented on county council; — ensure that services are being delivered by the most appropriate level of local government. The Minister of Municipal Affairs wants whatever form of government can best serve the needs of each county. Your views are important and the Minister would like to hear from you before July 14th, 1989. To receive your copy of the Report, complete and return the attached coupon to the address listed below. After studying the report, you can make your views known to the Minister by writing to him at the same address.

Following the singing of "Happiness Is...", accompanied by Mrs. George Proc- ter, the 15 -member children's choir occupied the central front pews to hear Rev. John G. Roberts' message on camping. According to a question -and - answer form, they learned the loca- tion of various camping areas and three methods of camp lodging: bunkhouse, trailer or tent and sur- vival. The majority of the choir members had experienced one type of camping, family camping or with a church erouo. Camp accommodations were named, food varieties were dis- cussed, as were entertainment ideas which included vesper service, sports and crafts. Responsibility for clean surroundings depends on the tidiness of the campers. In survival camping, each camper is responsible for his own well-being after receiving his allot- ment of a small square of concen- trated food, one match and a 4 X 6 - foot length of plastic for his protec- tion against the elements. Fire pre- vention by each camper was stressed by the minister as he con- cluded the lesson. Followii4ig the singing of the benediction'icy the choir, lunch was served in t h caschooiroom. C 54. 11;
