For many years municipal enumeration has been part of the assessment process carried out by each municipality. With the take over by the province of assessment and the creation of area assessment centres, the municipalities no longer are in- volved. The enumeration will collect information such as names, ages, property occupancy status, school support, school electoral status, citizenship and residency and will form the basis of munici- pal voters' lists. Following publication of the lists, people who have incorrectly been omitted from the lists can contact the municipal clerk tr have their names added. Roman Catholic electors who are neither property owners.nor tenants have the choice of being enumerated as public or separate school board electors for the first time this. year. Non-PrOperly owning and non- tenant Roman Catholics, such as spouses, students and oarders, as well as priests and nuns, can now vote in Separate school oard elections if they so chooSe, according to officials. The expansion of voting rights means, for example, that a Roman Catholic son or daughter who lives at home, is 18 years or older, and is a Canadian citizen or British subject can vote for 'either, the public or separate school board irrespective of how tthaxees. parents direct their education Under the new regulations adopted by the province, nominat- ion day, as it has been known for ;enerations, disappears. The new enabling bill - No. 77 - sets a final date for filing nomin- ation papers but candidates may file up to four days prior to the final date. Under the new regulations, municipal electioaa are on the first Monday in December - Dec. 4 this year. The deadline for final nomination, therefore, is 5 p.m. Monday, Nbv. 13 or 21 days before polling day. Candidates obtain the neces- sary papers from the clerk's office and, then must have 10 qualified electors sign the papers before, they are filed. Filing papers with the clerk is regarded as qualification to stand for election. The existing rule about the first nomination remaining in force unless the candidate re- signs still stands.

Paul Hellyer expresses concern Former Liberal cabinet minister and a contender for the Liberal leadership four years ago, Paul Hellyer expressed con- cern on the effect which present government policies are having on young people as he addressed a Conservative fund raising dinner at the Pine Ridge Chalet in Hay Township' Tuesday evening. He spoke at a $15 a plate dinner sponsored by 'the Huron County Progressive Conser- , vative Association. The . one time Liberal broke with the party shortly after losing out in the leadership race 'and later es- tablished his own party Action Canada. Earlier this year he joined the Conseryatives. Mr. Hellyer said ' wage and price controls were necessary to break the inflationary -cycle. The elimination of welfare' for employable people and pro- vision of more jobs by using . the Canadian, barCking system to finance job-creating industries could check the' widening gap between wages and prices, he said. Mr. Hellyer said the Pro- greSsive Conservative party in- tends to reverse the Liberal party's policy • of "welfarism to a policy of opportunity." The $5 billion brought into the economy by nearly full em- ployment could be used, to el- iminate povery and slums and develop decent hOusing and urban' transportation systems. • Mr. Hellyer advocated boost- ing minimum wages to bring people up, 'from the • bottom of the Canadian society. Among those attending the banquet were Huron . MPP Charles MacNaughton and Huron MP Robert McKinley. Mr. McKinley repeated an earlier announcement that he would seek the riding's nompat- ion in the upcoming federal elec- tion. He predicted a Conservative victory, saying Prime Minister Trudeau has alienated support across the country. .Minor injuries as cars meet A two-car 'collision a mile north of Brucefield Friday even- ing resulted in minor injures to the two drivers. David Carrick, 17,, ofGoder- ish, and Nicholas Klaver, 20 , of R.R. 3, Kippen, were treated at the Clinton -Public Hospital for facial " lacerations, cuts and bruises and released.
