The budget for April, 1969,
to Mafch,.970, totalled$2395,000
but by March 31 'we'll be under

tary-treasurer, told the gover-
nors Monday night, „
" The 1970-71 operating bud-
get has been seeat $3452,535.
-Conestoga should not be bo-
thered ,by a shortage of provin-
cial capital fupds for building.
'With .excellent • timetabling,
we will not have to and (phy- •
sical facilities)' for the fall of.
1970', said Mr. Williams. •
He said there is the possi-.
bility of expansion -of the adult
education centre at Stratford.
The governors also learned.
that Mr. Williams is one of five
college secretary-treasurers pi-
cked to serve on an education
department select committee on
finance and aeeounting.
• Mr. Williams said the com-
mittee will establish an accoun-
ting system to be used by all
community colleges.

The 'haves get more and the
havenots. get less'.
'That's what Conestoga Col-
lege governor Frank Sills of Sea-
forth had to say Monday night
about plans, to expand adult edu-
catidn services in the four-county
area,.served by the college.
• , His remarks were pronipted
by a report from Aubrey Hagar,
director of innovative• arid con-
, tinuing education. •
Mr. Hagar told college go-.
veepors that plans are to, ei-
lablish offices in the downtown
areas of Guelph, Gait, Kitchenere
Waterloo, Stratford and Clinton
asireffective means of estab-
lishing direct and meaningfug re-
lationships with individuals in
each community.
He said there is 'no way we
can really serve a community
withotd putting someone in Abet
community to work on...0
' Mr. Sills said this is 'just
putting off for another two .years
things that are already long over-
due.' ...,o
Residents in Huron County
were enthusiastic about the col-
lege but now they feel forgotten,
he said. -
Mr. Sills is also mayor of,
Seaforth.
Mr. Hagar said he hoped ac-
tiob will begin in the spring
so groundwork can be completed
to enable 'some courses to start
in that area by next fall.
He said there is a lack Of
skilled employees in Huron
County and that is why some
industries are leaving that areM
Mr, Sills had suggested ad-
vertising and work in Huron ,
County schools ,would do more
---geodeen-preparengeforeregrams
than setting up an office in one
location. •
Mr. Hagar indicated a re .e,
presentative in any office would
spend his time working in the
community or county to estab-
lish needs and contacts.
He also said the college will
be 'pioneering a bit' in Galt.
'The establishment of a Cones-
toga presence in Galt will be
achieved ley opening an office ,
in the heart of the city. From
this office, the administrator (of
continuing education programs)
will develop a relationship with
'citizens to develop programs and
provide a counselling service',
read his report.
There are no plans for a
building . in Galt. That may ,be
needed in the future. But 'in
the. initial stages, attempts will
be made to use existing facili-
ties in Schools, churches, lib-
raries and other community buil-
dings.'
The administrator will be able
to use instructional aids and
other resources found at the
Doon college campus.
His report said a Binned
Canada Manpower retraining
prOgram is 'offered there, now,
along with some training in co-
operation with industries.
'Both of these programs can
be expanded. Other programs
in apprenticeships, in co-opera-
tion with community' agencies;""'
of general interest, in manage-
ment, and leading to diplomas.
for tencians and technologists
will be examined with a view
to offering thein in Galt.'
Mr. Sills pointed out that
Galt already has a centre, but
'there's nothing in Huron County."
Mr. Hagar noted that there
