Poor showing at seminar at Golf Club A business management sem- inar, primarily for people inter- ested in small business, was held at the Wingham Golf Course clubhouse on Monday. A rather poor showing of 11 men from the area attended. Bill Rintoul, Murray Gerrie, Larry Snyder, Bob Middleton and Bruce Cameron were representatives from Wingham. The seminar was arranged by the Management Services De- partment of the Federal Business Development Bank in co-opera- tion with the Wingham Business §4 Association. The seminar is one r' of several hundred to be conduct- ed by the Bank in towns and cities across Canada. Those attending used the case study method to examine the small business, its personnel ad- ministration, management of, hu- man resources, cost controls, management controls and finan- cial statements. The bank's management ser- vices has three main spheres of activity: Management training, management counselling and an information service. The management training pro- gram, as well as providing seminars on various subjects of l,. interest to business people, also provides management courses to provincial educational institutes for the owners and managers of small businesses.
