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

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:

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

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,

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.
