T-A photo By SHARON DIETZ Huron County Council passed a motion at their Oc- tober 30 meeting supporting the implementation of 'province-wide market value assessments. The motion supported a policy state- ment on market value assessment from the 'Institute of Municipal Assessors of Ontario. Clerk-treasurer Bill Hanly explained to members of county council that the real An Exeter resident has been charged with the use of a firearm dangerous to public safety as the result of an incident on Hallowe'en night. Chief Ted Day advised council in his monthly report that it was the only major problem experienced during the evening. No details were released by police. Other statistics provided by Chief Day in his report for October were as follows: nine accidents with two in- juries and damage of $4,725, 14 charges under the Highway Traffic Act, 16 un- reason' for moving toward market value assessment across the province is to es- tablish a base for property assessments. Under the pre- sent system, the assessment has no relation to the value• of the property, said Hanly and it is*difficult to unders- tand. The assessment of one property has no relation to the assessment of another under the present factors and it is difficult to unders- tand how the assessment is der the Liquor Control Act, one under the Narcotics Con- trol Act, 10 parking tickets issued, two dogs taken to the local pound, one impaired driver charged, four fraud investigations, one ,break and enter., on'e theft over $200 and four under $200, one incident of damage to public property and five to private property With damage being $100, Co table Brad Sadler has comp rqfgrii l § tare sher courad lat.LiMrliner Police College and the officers recorded 33 hours of over- time, 12 of s them for court duty. derived. Market value assessment however, is easier to understand for most people and the assess- ment would have some rela- tion to the value of the property. Hanly remarked that he doubts market value assess- ment will be established in the province while there is a minority provincial govern- ment. Market value assessment is a political hot potato because while some assessments will come down many assessments par- ticularly on older homes in the city and on farms will in- crease, if the move is made to market value assessment, Morris reeve Bill Elston commented that he wonders how foreign absentee in- terests which are purchasing county farmland for exorbi- tant prices, will affect the assessment of farmland in the county if market value is established as the basis for assessment. Won't these prices distort the assessment? asked Elston. While he believes market value assessment is the best, method, Elston thinks the factor of these purchases will affect the assessment of the 100 acre farm where a farmer is try- ing to make a living. "Is a Career a Job?" It's a thought provoking question, and it is Ontario's theme for Career Week 1980 which will be held nationally from November 3 to 9. The theme was selected by the Ontario Youth Secretariat, sponsors of Career Week in Ontario, because it is general enough to be adapted by local communities for their own particular programs. Local business and merchant associations are being en- couraged to ce-operate with elementary and secondary schools, universities and colleges to develop events which will reflect the career options in their area, Activities might include students visiting the work- place, attending career fairs, and participating in Career Week contests. * South Huron District High School will hold career day today and several business and, industrial people will attend to explain their vocations. , To help communities, the Youth Secretariat has sent out Career Week kits which include promotion materials and "A Community. Challenge", a booklet packed full of suggestions that may be used to make Career Week a success. Terry Jones, Parliamentary Assistant responsible for the Ontario Youth Secretariat, said, "Career Week should ease the transition between formal qducation. and the world of work by relating the o is 4o11/4G- subject matter of one to the realities of the other", The program is. the ultimate resPonsibility of the Honourable Margaret Birch, Provincial Secretary for Social Development. She explained that "the program was designed to develop. awareness among yOung people of the more than 7,009 career choices., available to them 1 hope that the momentum created during Career Week will support the efforts of guidance coun, sellors throughout the rest of the year", she added.

Merry Christmas! STORE BREAD Bread always stays fresh longer in the refrigerator, right? Wrong. Keep it in the breadbox unless it was baked withbut preservatives or you're freezing it. On the other hand, moist breads such as English muffins or "brown and serve" rolls should always be refrigerated. And avoid putting them in shelves on the door because it's warmer there. Specialists with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food have some tips on storing basics such as bread, flour and sugar to preserve their quality and save your money. The freezer is the best place to store bread for long periods.
