Norman Shepherd, Wingham
barrister who represents that
town and East Wawariosh Town-
ship, brought the matter qi
Student Council. funds before
Huron Board of Education at
last week's meeting in Huron
County Council Chamber, God-
crick
"Who sets the rules?" he
queried.
He was of the opinion that one
set of rules should be establish-
ed for all schools with which
Director of Education, D. J.
Cochrane agreed.
Board Chairman, John Levis,
Clinton, said that in the past
this matter had been left in the
principals' h a n ds , generally
speaking.
Mrs. Mariam Zinn, Dungann-
on,' was frank in her statement:
"it's their money and they can't
spend it!"
One member reported that
student council funds ' had ac-'
cumulated in one school as high
as $5,000 to $8,000. This money
had been raised by students
through various money-raising •
schemes.
Mr. Shepherd said in prefac-
ing his remarks, that he was re-
ferring to the high school • at
Wingham.
The Board decided to discuss
the matter with the various prin-
cipals and possibly come up with
a policy for all the schools.

24.Cords of Thanks „._.,
Whik to eXPreta our sincere
thanks and tiPpreeittion to- all relatives, Mends :and neighbors for their kindnesses dtitiq,out
tario, I believe it can provide
sound, practical advise to the
provincial authorities ,and I
know that the Minister of Mun-
icipal Affairs is' looking for-
ward to Huron County's submis-
sions. The Honorable Mr. Mc-
Keough has stated frankly that
he has no fixed policy concern-
ing regional government func-
tions in rural areas and he not
only wants, but needs, advise .
from the people who knew lo-
cal administration and local
needs 'best.
There are two principal advan-
tages to regional government, as
I see it. One is a broadening of
the local tax base to provide
for more, equitable distribution
of both local and provincial rev-
enues and the development of
a broader community' in which
services can be shared and
which can assemble the admin-
istrative expertise to enable the
province to return more' auton-
omy to local officials.
We are all aware of the
growing number of complaints
from local, municipal. officials
that their responsibilities are
being taken away by the prov-
incial government. The frank
• fact is, and. I. think many local ••
officials will agree, that local
municipalities have not been
able to afford , properly quali-
fied personnel to handle such
functionS as planning, which
would be better 'handled at a
regional level than at ,Queen's
Park. Our objective is to pro-
vide larger units which can as-
sume greater responsibilities
and return more autonomy to
community levels.
Why then, some people are
asking, did. the province take
over assessment? The answer
lies in the urgent need for tax
reform. Property reassessment
was required not only to cor-
rect the many inequalities that
now exist but also to ensure that
many provincial government
grant programs, now based on
assessment factors, will be fair
to each region and municipality.
This will become increasingly
important as grant levels rise
and as the grant program is
revised according to the com-
mitments in our white paper
on tax reform.
I am, also aware of the wide-
spread concern over new coun-
ty boards of education. I sug-
gest, 'first, that we should not
prejudge benefits of this pro-
gram and, second, that we
• should be realistic about the
cost factors.
Before w4. this reorganization
took place, the Ontario Govern-
ment received • Considerable
criticism about the practice of
having appointed secondary
schbol boards demanding tax
revenues from elected munici-
pal councils. The new program
was designed to overcome these
Objectitins by having the trust-
ees directly elected , by local peo-
ple end making them responsi-
hie for all decisions on local

cake which was served that day
and which Mrs. Aitcheson had
saved.' The cake had been made
by the late Mrs. J. W. Beattie.
Mr. and Mrs Aitcheson, are
the sole surviving members of
their families and are the first
representatives of either of their
families to have observed a
50th wedding anniversary.
FolloWing their wedding,
which was performed by Rev.
F., H. Larkin of First Presbyter-
ian Church; the couple left by
train fore six week trip to the
West coast. On their return they
.settled on the groom's farm at
Roxboro where they coptinued
to reside until their retirement
to Seiforth in 1955. Mr. Aitche-
son was the third generation to
occupy the farm which had
been cleared by his grandfather.
A representative of the fifth
generation, Keith Scott of Au-
burn, a grandson of Mr: Aitche-
son, plowed on the same farm
during the 1966 International
Plowing Match here.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Aitcheson
are 81 and enjoy fairly good

be unfair to expect them. to
bring these increaseslo an m-
ediate halt. My budget for 1969
provided for increased grants
to local boards but this has not
been enough to offset the cost
growth. The recent financial ad-
justment program announced by
the Minister of Education has
helped to enSure that there is
a limit, to tax increases in local
municipalities.
Starting next year, the prov-
incial government will increase
the general level of its average
financial support to school
boards from the present 45% to
60% in three years. The prov-
ince intends to co-operate with
school boards to ensure that
this increased assistance is pass-
ed along to local ratepayers.
I suggest that citizens can ex-
pect educational officials to pro-
vide as many benefits as possi-
..ble to the children under their
guidance. That is their respon-
shinty. By the same token, I
think it is the right of the lo-
cal taxpayers to indicate to the
educators, through their elected
representatives, the extent to
which they will provide finances
for these services. No board
should be a rubber stamp for
its employed officials and I am
confident that the Huron Board
will not be.
Paradoxical as it may sound,
one thing that is constant is
change, particularly in a pro-
gressive society and in a devel-
oping jurisdiction such as On-
tario. The desirable approach,
then, I believe, is not to resist
change, but to make change
work for us.
I regret these comments are
so lengthy, but I believe they
are pertinent. If you can pre-
sent them to your readers, I
would be most grateful.
Yours sincerely,
Charles MacNaughton.
