The question period centred on, "Who Should Pay?" Prior to the question period, the radio broadcast discussed the pres- ent assessment system, ways to supplement the property tax, and other sources of taxation revenue, Locally, two forums reported formation for ',another season.'' In Hullett, Fireside Farm Forum was formed, and in Hay Township, Parr Line have commenced. Parr Line Parr Line Farm Forum have commenced operation for the eighth consecutive year. Monday night the group, met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Adkins 'for the first 1960-61 meeting. An anticipated group of 13 fam- ilies is expected to join this year. Of these, eight families were or• iginal members eight years ago. Discussing rural service, this forum felt that all services dis- cussed were in operation'10 years ago. They felt that the farmer has a right to the services, regard. less of cost. One service for which the forum felt farmers were paying to the benefit of urban groups was schools. Farmers are assessed on land holdings for school purposes and his taxes for educational pur- poses have been in unfair propor- tion to property holders in urban areas, the group agreed. On changes suggested in taxa- tion form, the group felt the as- sessment of farm properties should be limited to buildings and a small acreage 'of land, about five acres. Fireside Forum Rural communities have better roads, better fire protection, elec- trically and better school bus ser- vice now than 10 years ago, Fire- side Farm Forum members felt at their inaugural meeting Mon - HURON GROUP PLANS ACTION TO DECIDE VOCATION SCHOOL NEED Action preliminary to obtaining "Our present district high a vocational school in Huron Coun- schools were designed for those ty will be taken by Huron district entering a profession; everyone at - Farmers' Unions. tending went with a purpose," Mr. A meeting in • Clinton Thursday Nediger said.

This amount is equivalent to the 9 cent levy collected. Individual producer pay- ments are now being distributed. In announcing the payment, K. A.

Disposal of this wheat is financed by the 9 cent levy. Each year, the unused portion of the levy collected is returned to the producers who marketed wheat.

Hall, president and vice.chan- cejlor of the University of Western Ontario, in Goderich Thursday night. Dr. Hall was addressing the more than 300 who attended the annual Huron County warden's banquet at which John Durnin, reeve of West Wawanosh and 1$60 warden, was host In 1859, Dr. Hall said, the total of government grants for educa- tion in Huron was $4,845, less than the, salarryy of 'One experienced high selt061 Weller today. The.gtiveriv ment grant to 'Huron, 101 years ago, when it was divided to the townships, provided $197 for schools in FIullett, $311 for McKi- lop, $252 for Grey, $168 forMorris. A letter written by al" Huron teacher in 1860; said Dr. Hall, gives an insight to conditions in the teaching profession at that time. The teacher wrote that the only part of her salary that she receiv. ed in cash'was the $80 per annum provided by the government grant. "The rest was in kind, and hard to collect." Theories of education were be- ing propounded more than a cen- tory ago, Dr. Hall observed. He quoted from the tipper Canada Journal of Education of 1849, por- tions of an article on the need for qualified teachers. The writer of the article held thatit was better to pay $40 a month for a good teacher, than be satisfied with a poor teacher at $10 a month. Master of ceremonies for the banquet: held in the new wing of North Street United Church at Goderich, was William Jewitt, for. mer reeve of Hullett, who was warden in 1959.
