manager reports
Only minor delays have been
met in the Construction of the
$185,000 extension to the Stanley -
Berry Limited door company
here. The way things are ,going
now the addition is expected to be
completed close to the first of
September. Erection of the build-
ing is being done by Len Ariss Co.
Ltd. of Guelph.
Pouring of concrete flooring
was expected to get under way
Wedneseay or Thursday .of this
week, while application of steel
siding continues. Next stage will
be completion of the roof sec-
tions.
Poor weather has been a delay-
ing factor, Mr. Adams pointed
out. Late arrival of new equip-
ment on order for the expanded
manuacturing operations is also
a problem. Some of the ma-
chinery has been ordered from
England and chronic dock strikes
in the United Kingdom have
made deliveries uncertain. If
need be, air ,freight will be used
for essential ,units.
All being well, the..nevv section
could be organized- and opera-
tional before the 'end of Septem-
ber, as some equipment is now on
Mild and ready for installation as
soon as the floor space becomes
available.

been ignored?" asked Thomas.
McKeough answered that it
was necessary to formulate a
map for the entire province be-
fore any regions were estab:
lished. "We wanted to slow the
process down and catch our
breath," he said.
"Is it possible for Huron County
to become a region?" asked
Thomas.
"If you want a quick answer it
is no," answered MCKeough.
"You don't meet the population
criteria. • You can't afford the
services. A study has to be made.
'Ytiu have to take a look at outer
boundaries as well as inner
boundaries."
The minister further indicated
that the boundaries for muni-
cipalities set up 100 years ago
need not remain the same for-
ever.
Farm Taxes
.Gerry Ginn., deputy -reeve of
Qoderich Township, asked Mc -
Keough if consideration was be-
ing given to the method of taxing
farmlind. He was told that a new
system of farm taxation' is ex-
pected about the same time as
-the new assessment—probably
1974.
Ginn also asked why money for
certain "people" services such as
health, welfare, library, could not

be raised on, a per capita basis
rather than on an assessment
basis. •
"I'm afraid that some '-gOod
projects are going •to be turned
down in Huron because taxes are
raised on an assessment basis,
not on a per capita basis," said
•Ginn. •
McKeough answered that the
general trend now in provincial
government is to assess grants to
the municipalities on an assess-
ment basis rather than on a per
capita basis as in the past.
McKillop's Reeve Allan Camp-
' bell asked about the increased
cost for larger units of adminis-
tration. "When any outfit goes
bigger, it costs more," said
Campbell. "Why? It is supposed
to be more economical."
McKeough claimed he might be
"over -simplifying" the situation,
but .he compared larger govern-
ment units of administration to
supermarkets. He said that- most •
women no longer shop at the cor-
ner store because -the supermar-
kes can give better prices, better
quality fresher produce and
wider variety. "People are de-
manding more and more services
and the cost of government has
gone up in the same way that the
cost of food or anything else has
gone up," said McKeough.
"I shop at the corner store and
so does my wife," retorted
Campbell. "And the prices don't
vary that much from the super-
market"
Reeve Bill Elston of Morris
Township complained to Mc -
Keough about the new county
boards of education. He .said
these units are too far away from
the people, that the operations of
the school board are being direct-
ed by civil servants and that costs
are too high for the value being
received in education. "It is just
no good," said Elston.
"I really can't agree," an-
swered McKeough.
It was six o'clock before the
discussion came'.to an end. Din-
ner was served at the Bedford
Hotel for county councillors and
their guests.
Communication minister
lauds -weekly -new
A Canadian Press story re-
leased in Montreal on Saturday
quotes a Quebec cabinet minis-
ter : "Daily newspapers should
take a tip from the weeklies in
pcesenting a more personalited
product instead of coast-to-coast
monotony." Jean-Paul L'Allier,
Quebec communications minis-
ter, was addressing the annual
convention of the Canadian Com -
Town requests t
housing survey
An informal survey of the need
for senior citizens' type housing
indicates there is a strong re-
quirement at the present time.
Nearly 20 applications or in-
quiries are pending, Mayor De-
Witt Miller reports.
As determined at the last regu-
lar meeting of town council, On-
tario Housing Corporation will be
requested to conduct a thorough
survey of the situation locally.
Should there be a proven need
for such accommodation, council
had indicated it .would approve
construction of additional hous-
ing, including "geared -to -in-
come" homes as well.
It is expected the corporation
will conduct a -survey here in the
near future.

munity Newspapers Association.
The weekly newspaper, which
takes into account the local and
regional personalities of its
readers, is the ideal spokesman
for a public mindful of its rights,
said the minister.
Concentration of other media
has led to uniform news reports
aimed at a stereotyped reader in
dailies across the country and the
same wire service stories in radio
and television newscasts, said the
speaker.
'With some differences in
graphics and visual layout,
dailies carry the same informa-
tion in the same way all over
Canada, The major daily chains
• now offer no more than an
illustrated weekly supplement in
French and English versions,
made uniformly for everyone.
"I do not think such results of
media concentration are bringing
the consumer a more diversified
and better quality product."
He acknowledged that weeklies
are concerned mainly w,l,th
local -
and regional issues, but said their
personal character should be
preserved and hopefully they are
still one of the. best training
grounds -for young journalists.
EN/2n though communication is
becoming more electronic,
weeklies will still hold an import-
ant position.
