The tendering of•• fuel • contracts for all our schools lias produced savings - ranging from 1.1 per cent to 27.5 per cent over prices paid by individual boards. School Supplies. While we have' only barely started on the tendering of school supplies, the results have been most encoura- - • ging. Savings in excess of 50 per cent on some items have been The following is another re- port from .the Huron County di- rector of education, John Coch- rane, to the Huron County Board of Education. The report entitled "Comparative Cost of Business Operation" was prepared by Roy * B. Dunlop, superintendent of bus- ness affairs. ."Much has been said about the spiralling cost of education, par- ticularly since the county boards came into being on January 1st, 1969. With respect, .0.1 the busi- • ness side of the Huron County Board of Education's operation, the costs have not gone up, but rather have been significantly re- duced. For example: "Total Cost of Salaries. In 1968 (the last pre-ciounty board year) the total cost of salaries - i.e. part-timd" secretary-trea- surers; full-time business admi- nistrators, trustees' honoraria, etc:, over the whole of Huron County etotalled $133,819.00. If there had been no change in the system, and former em- ployees had been granted a mini- mum increase in 1969 and 1970 of five per cent annually (the ap- proximate general increase in the cost of goods and services), pre-- sent annual salary cost would be . $147,534.00. The present annual salary of all members of the business operation of the Huron County a Board, including Trustees' hono- raria, is $1.28,080.00. That is 1.1'454.00 log than recorded, and from a prelimi- nary look it does not seem un- reasonable to anticipate at leaAt a 15-20 per' cent saving over all. Bearing in mind that the total purchases of goods and services in 1969 was in excess of $1,000,000.00, this is an attrac- tive target to shoot for. Optimum Use of Money. When this Board took over the books of the •previonS boards, it was not unusual to find large dollar ba- lances . sitting idle in Board cur- rent accounts, while in other in- stances large interest payments were being made on bank bor - rowing. Today, by forecasting cash requirements and expediting income receipts from provinc ial grants, billings to other school boards, etc., we are able to keep our bank borrowing to the fnlni- mum. Building Maintenance. Ano- ther area where a significant long range contribution to reduce costs is being made, is in the co- ordination .and planning of buil- ding maintenance: Included in the present business salaries men- tioned above, is that for a fully I I is treatment: will pay $ 7.00 will pay 5.00. will pay 7.00 will pay 10.00 will pay 25.00 . 100,00 total maintenance programs !Or "the county,' as opposed to single school requirements under the previous school system. In conclusion, something should probably be said abodt the factors which make the business operation necessary in the first place. The following data might give some.perspective to the size `of the operation: Property value, $28,000,000 approx.; total num- ber of schools, 39; annual budget, (1970), $10,212,628 approx.; an- nual salaries (1970), $5,772,860 approx.;. annual purchases) $1,250,000 approx.; number of teachers, 622; number of non- teachers, 178., functions -carried out: ac- counting, municipal education tax determination; general legis- lative Grant Ind Subsidy_deter- mination; budgeting; cash and banking; purchasing; ,school bus transportation, administration; building, maintenance; insurance administration; payroll; person- nel records; union regulations; salary negotiations; and cafeteria services." 111".111.P."1110.P."11.111P"...11.4 INSURANCE Auto, Fire, Life ' Donald G.

The Director of the Home Economics Branch of the Ontario .Department' of Agriculture and Food, Miss Helen McKercher, formerly of McKillop, was elec- ted president of the Canadian ;Agriculture Extension Council at -the Annual Conference held re- cently in Winnipeg. The Canadian Agriculture Ex= tension Council was established to provide directors of agricn1-: ture and home economics exten- sion services witb'an opportunity to study new approaches in con- ducting extension education pro- grams in rural areas, and to dis- cuss common goals, programs and policies related to current adjustment in rural Canada. The Council's membership includes directors from the ten provinces. Miss McKercher feels that the Council is of vital importance in furthering the development of assistance programs for rural areas. It gives each province the opportunity to consider the value of proven programs for use in their province, to increase their' awareness of the problems en- countered in current programs the the type of programs needed in today's agricultural communi- ties. The value of "rural develop- ment programs, as Miss Mc- Kercher pointed out, is evident Every week more and more, people discover what mighty jobs are accomplished by low cost Expositor Want Ads.

Part of this increase is.the re- sult of program changes based`on a survey in which some 350 rural hofnemakers comment on the at- titudes, valties, interests and way of We in rural Ontario. "Rural development pro- grams," Miss McKercher stres- ses, "must be more than just a means of passing out information. They must -help each person in the rural community make better use of time, money, abilities, and, where necessary, help in adjus- ting to the changing patterns of life." Want a home?
