At the November session of Perth County Council Wal- lace Township Reeve Robert Fotheringham and North Easthope Township . Reeve John Lindner stated they would be running for the position of county warden. Reeve Fotheringham, 62 has a head start as he indicated a year ago that he would be seeking the ward- en's chair for 1983. The Wallace Township reeve re- sides at RRI Palmerston and along with his I three sons. operates a dairy farm. He has been in the political field for about 11 years. He served as a township councillor for three .vears. six years as a Perth as deputy reeve and the past two years as reeve. In 1975 and 1976 Mr. Fotheringham sat on county council as a deputy reeve. The last warden frogs Wal- lace Township was Rae Ben- der who had the. position in 1978 during Perth County's 125th anniversary. Reeve Lindner, 56, has served North Easthope on county council fo'r the past four years. Prior to being reeve he served as a township councillor for two years. Mr. Lindner, a pork producer, resides at RRI Gadshill. In announcing, his candi- dacy Mr. Lindner said it has been 20 years since North Easthope has had a warden. In 1963 Willard Mohr of North Easthope Township served as warden. No other reeves announced, ,0®0 on Perth County has been asked to give serious thought to spending $3.000 for the ' promotion and selling of the cou9ty. The -manager of the Strat- ford+ and area V isittir's- and .Convention, Bureau. Leo Morningstar as)Ced .county councihat its Nov. 10 session to "give serious thought to putting tourism into your 19$3 budget". Mr. Morning- • star along with bureau com- mittee chairman Eleanor Kane , requested a . $3.000 grant. The organization has been running full-time since March of this year with a 1982 budget of S87,000. Of that amount S53,000 was• a grant from the City of Stratford; the • Town of St. Marys gave a $1.000 grant. S10.000 came • from the bureau's member- ship investment program and the remainder came from federal and provincial grants. Ms. Kane said that through the activities of Mr. Morning- star the county would be . promoted on a year-round basis. She indicated the 12 - member committee could be broadened in 1983 to include representation from the coon: ty• Mr. Morningstar explained the benefits of tourism have to be considered through the ripple effect. He noted that with the Shakespearean Fest- ival as the area's main drawing card 'tourists will spend money in traveling in the outlying area. In Stratford there are 115 members of the bureau whereas there is a limited number in the county. Reeve Carl Vock asked how much these businesses contribute to the operation of the bureau. Mr. Morningstar re - they would be seeking- the chairmanship of council's three committees, road, com- munity services or admini- strative. There will be 'five new reeves on county council as Logan Township Reeve Carl •Vock, Downie Township Reeve Wilfred Tuer (both past wardens), and Hibbert Township Reeve. Roy Swart retire from their positions. Prior to the close of the November session of Perth County Council, all reeves took the opportunity to con- gratulate Warden Elsie Karges off Listowel for the job she has done as Perth's first woman warden. One reeve, Fred Knechtel of Ellice Township, said it hadn't bothered him a bit to work under a female warden. ed to seen •� tourism roG L,o pliedthat the businesses contribute each year basedon the size of their institution. He added that besides that' they also provide "gifts in' kind" such as providing com- plimentary accommodation for tour wholesalers Warden Elsie Karges re- quested that as a follow-up to their presentation the bureau submit a copy of its budget to county council. She said council would deal with the question of a grant at its February session. Errors and all ? ? Perth County council wants clarification of a possible deal between it and Cumming Publishers of Stratford. At its Nov. 10 session council referred the question of getting into a deal with Cumming Publishers on the Perth County Historical Atlas back to its administration committee for further clarifi- cation. Council had offered to purchase 200 of the 1982 atlases at S20 each, but a letter received from Ross Cumming of the publishing firm declined the offer, for two reasons. One, that if the county sells the atlases for 525 each. stores would have to lower their retail price from S30 with the publishing firm selling at a loss and two. that with some county councillors believing the errors and omissions of the atlas have ruined the book's value, the combination of bad press and lowered selling price would make it diffichilt for the publishing company to recov- er the cost for the 2,000 printed books. An offer by Mr. Cumming to destroy the 800 unbound atlases and in co-operation with the county council pub- lish an amended and correct- ed atlas is what requires clarification by council. Reeve Carl Vock also sus: gested the county get back b0 atlases remoi'ed from the court hourse by the publish- ing firm. The 80 are part of the original 100 purchased by the county. Reeve Vock said he knew persons who want to buy the original atlas, errors and all. McKfillbp -- -� DubInn cod ©ova MAX ELL HOUSE INSTANT COFFE 99 CARNATION COFFEEMATE $ 7 79 10 02. JAR 500 G.
