New water and 'sewage sys~ tem service to a particular area. for example, would increase land values. The computer could be fed facts on such changes, increasing assessed values. In addition, if a municipality, a province, or the federal gov- ernment had to expropriate for government purposes, the cost of expropriation could be instantly retrieved from the computer. “Market values would give a fair basis for provincial grants and could be used as one of the main indices for federal equali- zation grants,” he said. The system could also be used for valuation, if and when some of the provisions of Finance Minister Benson’s White Paper on Tax Reform come into effect. The same figures should be used for assessment, valuation for estate and gift taxes, and for calculating capital gains, he said. Liberal MP Suggests Uniform Assessment Across Canada .y»-.v. v...

The new appointees are F. S. Hollingsworth of Sault Ste. Marie and Dr. C. A. Martin of Milton. The former is president of two manufacturing firms in “The 500". Dr. Martin, a physician, is one of the pioneers in the establishment of the 16 Mile Creek Conservation Autho- rity and Was instrumental in establishment of the Kelso Lake Conservation Area. He served as mayor of Milton from 1936 to 1938 and is the past Warden of Halton County. At present he is a member of the board of governors of Sheridan College. Other members of the com‘ mission are Chairman Donald Collins. Vice-Chairman John Root MLA, H. E. Brown and Leo Venchiarutti, both of Tor- onto and D. A. Moodie of Rich- mond Hill. Through the years the com- mission has pioneered many pollution abatement and water support programs. with the re- sult that it has become one of the most efficient water man- agement agencies in North America. It gives leadership in water supply and waste man- agement in Ontario. RAMER FUELS 189 CENTRE ST. EAST 884-1313 Folks who contract with us for fuel oil live without worry.

Mrs. Woodburn Thomson, a past president of the Richmond Hill Curtain Club and now pre- sident of the Central Ontario Drama League attended the Dominion Drama Festival ex- ecutive meeting in Montreal on October 23-24th. Land ownership has un- ‘ dergone radical change in the past few years, the re- searcher said. Farmers re- ‘ quire more capital per em- ployee than in any other industry. mmumnmummuuunlunmmuunnmulmtmnummmmmuw‘ The cross Canada delegates considered the interim report of Dr. Philip Spensley on the total picture of theatre in Canada, with reference to the possible change in role the DDF may make. He felt it very important that there be a national body‘ representing amateur theatre which comprises, he says over 80% of theatre in Canada for ‘which he has a deep re- spect. With the comments of those studying his report he will bring in a final report which will be the centre of the DDF executive meeting to be held in Toronto in January. League has been freed to alter the format of its annual festival‘ to one which it is hoped will be more suitable to the needs of this region. The format sug- gested last year by the Curtain Club was that of a “Travelling Festival" with each group per-‘ forming in its own theatre and the adjudicator making its com- ments public to the audience of the night. A festival committee has been set up with the part- icipating groups to work out details of operation and awards system of noncompetitive, but merit basis. When Mr. Dennis Stainer made his presentation to the CODL he hoped this would be fairer and less ex- pensive for the participants. New Format For CODI. Festival One year ago the DDF began the painful task of self studv in its attempt to evolve a more viable role in the light of the recent tremendous growth of both professional and amateur theatre. As an early step to re- organization, the 1971 National Festival is being widely ex- panded and virtually the whole of the National Arts Centre, the theatre, studio, salon, foyers, lawns and roofs, will be opened beyond its member groups for the broadly conceived pic- ture of a truer national show- case festival. Invitations have already been sent to pro- fessional and semiaprofessional, amateur avantgarde groups etc. that can be contacted and while the Canada Council travel grant has been withdrawn this year for participants. accombda- tion is being arranged in Ottawa for the week of May 17 to 22. It is expected that the festival will be somewhere between Edinburgh and Woodstock. Dr. Spensley holds a Ph D. in acting, pedagogy and play- writing and presently holds a teaching position in the drama department at the University of Guelph. A Canada Council grant of $10,000 has funded his study which involved a cross Canada tour to contact local theatre bodies at all levels. A gala ceremony and party will mark the finale of the festival after the closing date of March 6. The Curtain Club's first entry into the regional festival in 1959 won them the regional trophy and in the many times they have entered since they have always come off with several honors. the last being the Bessborough Trophy in 1969 for the best production of a classic play in the zone (Ont- ario is made up of four regions). The amount of land an individual owns should not be a gauge of how much ed- ucation tax he has to pay, an agricultural marketing researcher from the Ont- ario Agricultural College. University of Guelph said in a speech at Fergus on October 20. Murray MacGregor told Rotarians that governments are sometimes tempted to manipulate taxes to their advantage. Mr. MacGregor told the group that there art? has- ically two types of taxes: ones for which the payer sees tangible products and “the other kind.” For the first, taxpayers see sewers, water systems and roads, Mr. MacGregor said. In the second, how- ever, the taxpayer cannot assess the Indirect benefits of education.

The bureau is an independent, non-profit organization which has 5 udied civic issues for more ¢ an 50 years. Current property assessment in Ontario is riddled with ineq- uities and inconsistencies, the bureau said October 20 in a re~ port. Properties are under-as- sessed, over-assessed and some are not assessed at all. It proposed four changes in the Assessment Act: 0 Removal of a section which prevents assessors or employ- ees of a municipality from dis- closing information to the public which is not on the assessment roll. I Enactment of legislation to permit assessors to discuss or make public any assessment in- formation pertinent to rtheir work. 0 Revision of the assessment rolls so they carry more com- plete information on rental ‘data, type of structure and ac- tivity for which the property is being used. 0 Greater accessibility by the public to assessment files on properties to give a history on the individual assessments.

He spent as much time in the woods as he could and he drew pictures of animals and birds. He is fulfilling a dream now by making taxidermy his livelihood and has recently begun capturing his own trophies by camera, not gun. As well as preparing trophies of fish, foul and animals for sportsmen, he does some biological experimentation for schools with dyes and latex red and blues for tracking. Friends bring in small birds, (such as the humming bird mentioned before) that have hit window panes or have been found by their children and Steve mounts them. He dipped into one of the tanning bins and pulled out a bear skin to show me how it softens. It is imperative to the trophy that the bear be shot in season or the hair will simply fall out. Steve went on to show the forms he has carved for fish. Steve Wright takes a great deal of pride in his work and indeed has a sensitivity to the beauty of nature. Every wish for continued success Steve. Ontarians are the kind of people who wouldn’t be here if there was any place better. We are people who came from a hundred lands and stayed to build. People with backbone and brawn and a hunger to succeed. Men and women who’ve created a stan- dard of living in decades that other lands worked centuries to build. If we have a flaw it’s our chronic modesty. Ontarians may be proud to be Ontarians and Canadians . . . they just seldom tell anyone. From an economic point of view that’s wrong. The more people we have boosting Ontario and Canada the better it is. And we’ve got a lot to boost with. At a time when the dollar is having many demands made on it, Ontarians can note that provincial taxes have held the line in 1970. And wehadamnplmtobootYmneededprograms have not been neglected. The Ontario Housing Corporation for example, has housed 129900 people to date and currently has almost a billion dollars worth of programs active in nearly 200 Ontario Communities. We need a. Vlgorous economy of course, to support these important programs. And, that’s where you come in. Though our productivity has doubled in ten years and our incomes in twelve, Ontarians don’t sit on their successes. There’s a demanding decade aheadfull of challenges and opportunities to make the quality of our lives better yet. To meet these challenges, we’ve got to believe in ourselves. Which, when you think about it, isn’t such a bad idea. Everytime you boost Ontario . . . Ontario and Canada get a little stronger. Government of Ontario John Robarts, Prime Minister.
