towns and villages, can offer
lower taxes.
It also helps to explain why
a town like Exeter, with
services roughly com-
parable to Wingham but with
about 80Q more people and
one-third more assessment
on Its tax rolls can have
lower taxes.
It falls short of explaining,
however, why Clinton, which
has a slightly higher
population than Wingham
but about 15 per cent less
assessment, or Seaforth,
where services are roughly
equivalent but both
population and assessment
are lower, can also charge
lower taxes.
Other possible ex-
planations include:
-special "big-ticket"
projects such as new streets,
sewers or municipal
buildings which can boost
taxes in one or more years.
The Blyth sewer program is
one example of this,

-the cost of servicing
municipal debentures used
to pay for major projects in
the past and not yet paid off;
- the amount budgeted for
reserve funds. A municipal-
ity which is building up its
reserves, for instance, might
have higher taxes than one
which is dipping into reserv-
es accumulated in the past.
Some of this should cancel
out, however, since a muni-
cipality is unlikely to be
building up Aserves in the
same year it is raising taxes
to pay for major purchases
or projects.
- built-in costs, such as
larger or higher -paid depart-
mental staffs.
During the coming weeks,
The Advance -Times will
attempt to examine in
greater detail where the
money is going and to pin-
point some of the differences
which separate Wingham
from other towns in Huron
County.
Next week: A comparison

O. Curtis to run
CN Tower again
Owen Curtis of Wingham
will be making another stab
at running the CN Tower this
Sunday and hopes to cut at
least 10 to 15 seconds off his
best time of 13:02.
Mr. Curtis holds the record
for best time of people over
30 years of age who have run
the tower's 1,760 steps. He
established the record in a
run two years ago.
His training regimen in-
cludes running 700 to 1,100
stairs. each day, but he will
be slowing down his training
this week in order to con-
serve energy for the run.
Mr. Curtis said he is op-
timistic about this Sunday's
run and thinks he can better
his best time.

"I don't want to be put on a

Miss Dodds said.
The .Seaforth area girl is

Can
touring university cam-
puses, Miss Dodds knew she
wanted to go to Guelph. It
wasn't until she had been at
Guelph for about a month
that she decided to be a
teacher.
She intends to try to main-
tain an A average, although
she admits it could be dif-
ficult because of • her
schedule.
For example she had a
series of exams to write the
week following the plowing
match. Initially she iiad
planned to go home Saturday
and study. But she was at the
match Saturday and on Sun-
day was "too excited" to
study.
SUPPORT
Her family has given her
strong support in her ac-
tivities. Besides mom . and
dad, there is 17 -year-old
brother Paul and 15 -year-old
sister Joan. Lynne gives
Paul all the credit for
helping her with her plowing.
"They're terrific. They've
just been wonderful," she
says.
Her rural upbringing she
says, has made her more
flexible and open-minded.
"Farmers have to work
around the weather," says
Miss Dodds, explaining the
flexibility.
And while Miss Dodds has
heard the comments about
rural people being nosy
neighbors, she says this is
just neighborly concern.
Miss Dodds gives some of
the credit for her accom-
plishments to her high
school.
She says she really looked
up to the principal and
teachers.
"They really encouraged
you to do your best. Mom and
Dad are like that too. They
don't push, just prod."
PERFECTIONIST
She describes herself as a
perfectionist.
"tI can't handle doing half
a job."
For the next year, Miss
Dodds, who enjoys horse-
back riding, skating and
sewing, will be doing two
jobs ;- one as student and the
other as the Ontario Queen of
the Furrow.
She sees her role as queen
as one of public relations for
the Ontario Plowmen's
Association. She willbe
attending many banquets
and working closely with the
local committee for Elgin
County. The 1985 IPM marks
the Ontario Queen of the
Furrow competition's 25th
year.
She is looking forward to
the coming year and knows
she'll have the support of the
executive of the local Plow-
men's Association - people
like Graeme and Helen
Craig, George and Ruth
Townsend. and Neil and
Marie McGavin.
"It's one thing to be called
royalty, but another to be
treated like royalty," says
Miss.Dodds.
There hasn't been an
Ontario Queen of the Furrow
from Huron since 1966, and
Miss Dodds reports that th
Friday night after she wa
crowned "a Huron Count
party" was held in the Har
riston area.
There is a young man o
the scene who is "prett
special" says Miss Dodds
but asked about marriage
she replied, "Someday".

Rural hydro rates
up by 8.7 Baer cent
The Ontario Hydro board
of directors has approved an
average 8.7 per cent increase
in rural hydro rates for 1985,
Chairman Tom Campbell
announced last week.
The increase 'includes
rural rate assistance, which
has been in effect since 1982.
The rural rate assistance
program maintains the rate
differential between year-
round residential rural and
urban customers at 15 per
cent.
In 1985 it is expected that
$`56.3 million in revenue
collected by Hydro fr m all
customers will be used for
rural assistance. Without
rate assistance, the average
