Municipal enumeration this week
Provincial enurnerators will
visit all households in Ontario
during September to conduct
the annual municipal enumer-
ation, revenue Minister Arthur
Meen said this week.
"Annual municipal enumer-
ation is quite different from
the enumerations conducted
in preparation for federal and
provincial elections, " Mr.
Meen explained. "Special
Voters' lists are required since
eligibility to vote is different
at the municipal level."
The right to vote in federal
and provincial elections is bas-
ed upon citizenship, age and
residency. The right to vote in
a municipal election is more
extensive since it allows a non-
resident who is at least 18
years old and a Canadian citiz-
en or British subject to vote, if
that person owns or rents prop-
erty in the municipality.
The spouse of such a non-resid-
ent is also entitled to vote in
that municipality.
"However, " Mr. Meen
pointed out, "we require more
data than voter eligibility. The
enurnerators must record the
names, ages, property status
(either owner or tenant) public
or separate school support and
residency of all members of
each household."
This information is required
for five purposes;
- The preparation of voters'
lists for local elections to be
held December 2.
- The division of the educat-
ion portion of property taxes
between the public and separate
school boards;
- The distribution of provin-
cial grants to local governments
to help reduce local tax bills;
- The preparation of jurors'
lists;
- The determination of local
population statistics to assist
in municipal and provincial
planning.

"Consequently, we cannot
usethe information collected
prior to the recent federal el-
ection or any other election, "
Mr. Meen observed. "With
most of Ontario Holding munic-
ipal elections on Monday,
December 2, we hope this will
create greater interest and
voter turnout in elections for
councils, school boards and
public utility commissions."
Council members and trustees
will hold office for a two-
year term.
About 11, 000 enumerators
have been trained to conduct
this year's program. These enun
erators carry ministry of reven-
ue identification cards and large
blue binders containing enum-
eration forms.
Mr. Meen noted that the
enumeration takes no more
than a few minutes of the local
resident's time and should be
Annual report
The annual report of Can-
adian Canners Limited for the
year ending May, 31, 1974 was
released to the shareholders
last week.
The report shows that the
fiscal year of 1974 saw further
improvement in the financial
performance of Canadian Can-
ners Ltd., and its subsidiaries.
The consolidated sales volume
was $85, 348, 000 compared with
$73,197, 000 in the previous
year which is an increase of
16.6 precent.
The net earnings were $2,
808, 000 or $2.00 per share,
compared with $2, 232, 000 or
$1.59 per share for the prior
year.
The return per dollar of sales
improved from 3 cents for 1973
to 3.3. cents for 1974.
L,H. Johnston, President,
reports during the fiscal year
1974 cost increases and short-
ages of supplies of various kinds,
including raw produce and long
delivery schedules placed cons-
iderable strain on operating
performance.
However, the combination
of selling price increases and
the increased sales movement
of Aylmer and Del Monte
products provided the improve-
ment in earnings.

conducted at the door. "It is
not necessary to admit the
enumerator to your home, "
he added.
The enumerators willhave
a preprinted notice of everyone
currently on record in the
household. "If the resident
agrees that the information is
correct and complete, he signs
the enumerator's record and
keeps a copy of the notice, "
Mr. Meen said.
"If changes are required,
as for example, an addition to
the family or new occupancy,
a change in school support or
the attainment of voting age,
then the enumeration notice is
corrected on the spot. The
responding adult verifies the
changes and a revised notice
will be mailed to the household
by the assessment office.
If there is no one at home
when the enumerator calls, the
notice will be left with instruct-
ions for checking and revising
it. Non-resident owners or ten-
ants will receive their enumera-
tion notices and relevant inst-
ructions in the mail.
Mr. Meen said that 2.4 mill-
ion pemphlets have been sent
to householders to alert resid-
ents to the Septermber enumer-
ation.
Goiden Glimpses
9 9 " a
The calendar tells us it is
fall as does the surrounding
countryside. The children are
back to school, so households
should be getting back to nor-
mal. We will be getting back •
to our fall and winter programs
which will include film night,
and other voluntary programs
provided by the different org-
anizations and individuals.
We will be pleased to hear from
anyone who has a contribution
to make in this line, as the
fall and winter months do be-
come a bit boring.
We welcome Mr. Henry
Flaxbard back from St. Joseph's
Hospital, and our new resident,
Mrs. Mary Jane Sturley, of
Gocierich.
On Wednesday afternoon a
bus load of residents went to
Stratford and viewed the beaut-
iful flowers in the Shakespear-
ian gardens, also travelled al-
ong the Avon River, and stopp-
ed to feed the swans with the
box of biscuits that Mrs. Ethel
Munn had taken along for that
purpose.
The residents certainly enjoy
their bus rides and I am sure
are very grateful to all who
contributed in any way to make
the purchase of the bus possible.
Bingo was played on Friday
evening, followed by refresh-
ments.
The Sunday evening chapel
service was conducted by Rev.
Barry Robinson, of Thames
Road United Church, Mrs.
Philip Johns was the organist
and accompanied the choir and
congregation during the service.
