Mr. Clark told council, it might 'even in- crease revenue slightly through attracting more people to •participate in Wingham 'recreational .pro- grams. He explained that the Ministry of Culture and Recreation makes available a grant to pay for hiring staff to run recreation programs. Currently The townships don't qualify. for the grant because t hey have no staff. . • However ministry repre- sentatives have agreed the Local artists to perform at Blyth concert Some of Western Ontario's top country artists will per- form ata Country Concert at Blyth Memorial Hall On Wednesday.

The result would be that township residents • would pay exactly the same registration fee for recreation programs as people in Wittgham, 'Mr.. Clark said. It would costthe townships nothing' extra in taxes and could provide some extra revenue for the town's recreation programs, though not enough to eliminate the deficit which is picked up by council. He said the three surrounding townships have been approached with the proposal. Turnberry. responded favorably, while Morris was non -committal and wanted more time to think it over; East Wawanosh "has always cooperated".
