If the deed is registered the Waldens plan to apply for am Qntario low-interest loan program for small businesses. However, the program won't be available after March 31. He said if the execution is not lifted they would have to wait for a power -of -sale,`: which could take another month. �, • The Waldens asked that the execution be lifted off the two -acre portion for a few days — just long enough for the deed to be registered — and then placed back on. William Walden explained that the property has al- ready been severed and registering the deed is the only thing in the.way.

The meeting will start at 8:30 p.m. at Ethel Central School in Grey Township. This three-phase study was initiated at the request of the federation because of the concern of its members about the increasing foreign land holdings in the county. Tony Fuller, director of the R.DOP, together with Julius Maage and John Fitzsimmons of the University of Guelph, using a slide presentation, will pre- sent the results and their conclusions on the use and management phase con- ducted last August. Shelly Paulocik and Ted Gruska interviewed the renters of absentee -owned land and their neighbors to determine how the land was being managed. The farmers also were given ample op- portunity to voice their opinions and solutions about the issue. The third phase of the study, on social and , economic impacts of ab- sentee -owned land in Huron County. is not yet finished. Prof. Fitzsimmons is collecting data on these areas of concern. He is in- terested in input from the residents and organizations in the county up $7,000 to $18,000 and Turn - berry has committed $4,000 toward the .Wingham and District Hospital's building and renovation project. Together with subsidies from the Ministry of Trans- portation and Communica- tions, anticipated revenue includes $81,088 for support and resource grants, down $262 from 1980, $11,000 in tax and investment interest, plus an expected $10,000 from the sale of the township grader.
