The speaker, who has been aceive in community affairs, was, introduced by Mr. Jake Reid' and thanked by Mr. Edgar Mid- dieton. Mayor Newman said that one may a-k what is wrong With our present form of government that' we have'to disrupt it and form regional areas. "This" he said wa-, most difficult fo answer." H1e pointed out however that child- ren are no longer interested in staying in small centres but are leaving for the lar2er urban ar- ea% to continue their education and to seek employment. This trend away from the rural. areas to the urban centres is creating a serions problem, he said. Thé- speaker pointed out there exists in Ontario over a thousand municipalities with at least haîf of- these. have a population of less thjan, two thousand people. These smller centres mu'ýt depend f0 a great extent on government subsàdies to operate within their diminishing framework of respon- sîbility.

The increase in the cosf of government, due to dupli- cation, was out of focus, he said, and it was under pressure of this serions, economnic problem that reglonal. areas are being formed. lie said small centres cannot p'ro- vide meaningful services withont over taxing and we face thîs prob- lem at ail levels of government. The speaker said there was no0 easy answer for people did have a strong identity with boundaries and a- sense of community.. "lthis is our Village, Township. or dity.", However, he said, if you wish to preserve what you have you musf work with your neil i- bours'to maintain yoiir commun- ity, reld to joster its well-beîng, its recreational facilities, services and to fight pollution and social pro'b1"ms such, as drugs.
