No Canadian should remain indifferent to the fact that there is, in this country, a program whose objective is to promote progress in dis- advantaged rural'areas. ARDA is a joint Federal-Provincial program and its goals are to increase income and employment opportunities of rural people and increase the efficient use of rural lands. In order to achieve these objectives, AR DA is using various means : --In Ontario, for example, major emphasis is bejng directed to the farm enlargement program and to the counselling, training and mobility programs which are applicable to the entire rural. population. — The problem in Ontario resolves itself into the improved utilization of both human and natural resources. Our changing technology almost dictates that society Will,be increasingly urbanized. ARDA in Ontario can and as. sisting in the many facets of relocating rural people in urban' centers, while at the same time and wherever possible the land resources of the rural areas are being developed and brought into improved productivity to better serve the rural population. In brief, social and economic development for rural people and optimum utilization of natural resources are the two concepts inspiring AR DA.

I'd bp sympathetic toward any gal With the eats to invade man's select kingdom and hold a seat in the Commons. Maybe that's why I'd like to see Judy in the race for the Liberal leadership. I Oink Miss Laleiarsh would put sparkle and enthusiasm in the contest such as no man could ever dream Even the best performers appear occasionally in poor shows. It's impossible to be cone sistently good. Jack 'Benny's variety hour last week fell into that class. It was billed as 'a "carnival of comedy" but there were few laughs in it for me. Benny has always been a favourite of mine. He was tops in radio every Sunday night for years and years. Although he was never what you could call a great motion picture star, he made many movies and his fans enjoyed them. He main.• tallied a show on television which kept up his image for several more years. Then came his announcement to retire and do a few speicals during the television fall and winter seasons. Perhaps there were too many guest stars appearing with Benny in this dpecial. Those who shared the hour with Benny included Lucille Ball, Johnny Carson, Ben Blue and the rockers Paul R evere and the Raiders. Carson protrayed a carnival barker; Lucille Ball played a stripper; and Ben Blue played the part of a witless mind reader. Revere and his associe ates performed two (or was it three) numbers. Brief appearances were made by Bob Hope, Danny Thomas, George Burns, eeederfeefilein, " ThKeed D ick S niceleeteetetteihe e'ltasatiall pitcher ielone/Oresdale. One hour with Hope and Benny and some of Revere's music would have been great. Another special with Benny and Ball would be tremendous, providing the material is tops., It was a case of too many cooks doing you know what. Possibte — and she'd 09 .it with the natural wit ,and bluneering charm which has captivated the Cabinet and the people. As it stands new we PP look forward to a host of pterile speeches from a group of meticulous males who have 'leaned and plotted their cam. 'Deign strategy with the mostim. finite attention to detail. They will smile, wave and nod on cue; they will present them. selves as spotless examples of wisdom and determination; they will woo the male delegates with whiskey and the female voters with flattery; most will be ace companied by a pretty but shyly dependant wife who will lean heavily on the magnificent strength, of her virtuous hes. band. f. We saw it all a few months ago at the Tory trade-in. The best part of the whole deal was when crusader Charlotte Whit. ton screamed for clarification on a matter before the =Iven' tion. To put it mildly, former Mayor Whitton caught the at tention of a country-wide audie ence with a few well-chosen words while otherlong, partic. ular deliveries that had been months on the writing tablet were lost on a dozing public. There is little doubt in my mind that Judy LaMarsh would inject some spicy sarcasm into the fight. Judging from past performances by LaMarsh, one would suppose that she would ruffle the feathers of the smug, unnerve the confident and gen. erally uncover the human as. pects of the convention which will be hidden under close wraps if a political machine has the say. There isn't a woman in Cane ada who wouldn't be proud to see the name of Judy LaMarsh on the roster. Some would not support her — few would give odds that Miss LaMarsh would survive the second or third ballot. Still I believe that most women would encourage Judy to give it a whirl if for no other reason than to show those grinning male hopefuls that a, woman can function effectively enough to fluster and confound the vote. And think of the excitement her entry would cause. What else is likely to liven up a re. hash of yesterday's misery? 13y 2111RLEY J. KELLER James R. Thomson, assist. ant suPerinteedent of the On.

Many persons commented that' Mr. Thomson's presentation had been the most valuable of the entire day. In clear, concise form Mr. Thomson set forth the implie cations of the new county school board system coming into effect on January 1, 1969. "There will be one board of education for a county," he stated. "In Huron there will be 14 members, likely 13 from the public school boards and one from the separate school boards." "It will be the responsibility of the county council to distri. bute county - municipalities," Thomson continued.. "Within certain limits, representation will be determined by residen. tial and farm, assessment. For ' instance, if 'you ,have 20 pere Pent of the residential and farm assessment, ypu WOO get 20 percent of the rePresente-tion„, Provision, has been Made for Appeal to the county judge may 41"Proire or reject." • He went, on. "There will be biennial electtone Nominations will be held In the 'municipality With the largest reeidentiel and eerie assessment and the piece teen will be held on that Mune icipality's regular election day," Thomson explained 'that boards, of arbibation will be set up to settle the matters the a seseleutestYanaill liabilities cweiutehtY in boundai'ies, This part of the plan will• not become effective until 1970 although reports of arbitratere will be requestedby the departmeet of education by the .end of 1969, "Municipalities within the county will Aare costs on the basis of provincial equalized assessment," Thomson advised. "And since the school board" Is to be elected it•is peOposed that boards will issue their own debentures with some police ing by the Ontario Municipal Board." "The tax bill in 1969 will haye to indicate clearly how much goee for school purposes and how much goes to the mune ecipality," the education official warned. "It will be done by the municipal clerk, and ',suppose it will go out in the same envele• ope. There is no intention of duplicating the tax collecting machinery," Asked when the separetp schoolp would come under the department's thumb, Mr. Thom? son said there, were constitue tional and legal problem, which are Presently beieg studied, by department laWYers. He Weed that most separate school of.' ficials are in favour of coming under the jurisdiction of the department of education in On. tarlo. Another Person asked about Schools for retarded children, "When thepoliticel questipn is solved we willbe ready with legislation to include schools for retarded children," answer. ed Thomson. Would grants be increased? "With new divisional boards greets will be increased en• cordingly," said Thomson. "I will be eurprised if it isn't sufficient so that it will not raise costs locally." Would Board of Education buses pick up high schoolchild. ren, public school children and separate school children in one operation to cut down on the number of buses travelling the roads? "Probably," saidThorne son. "Let me remind you, though. The fact that you want • to run your own show and can't co-operate with yoUr neighbours where school buses are con. cerned, cannot be blamed on the department of education. You are free to transport your children to school in the most economical way possible." When will there be elections of next year's board, "LintP- latlon AP41c1 be,introduced • soon,:" Thomson 119ted he Was Opposed to aPePtelriber election although that looked Prebable, Will merecipelitiee have to turn over all the money for educational purposes even though some taxes are unpaid? "Yes{" answered Thomson. "The MuniciPalities have the machinery for collecting tax arrears, I guess they will just have to iMPlereent theme " Debentures?

"The municipal! ities are authors of their own chaos," noted Thomson. "We would hope that r egular biennial elections would tend toregular. ize elections with every muniow ipality voting on the same day. Instead of voting day in God. erich, it would be election day in Huron County. But, that's up to ithn ea mlitginhiteeirpalvaiintie—s." though still serious — Mr. Thomson refer. red to the theory held by some thatand m communities swethfewchilde ren assessment should pay less in proportion than communities with many youngsters to educate and lots of assessment.
