Potter) The Farmers' Union met in 'llolmesville School Monday with Edgar Rathwell in charge. Ray Wise read the minutes and a let- ter from the provincial president, Gordon Hill, bringing the local up to date on Union activities at a provincial level. Mr. Hill stated that the mass delegation to Otta- wa, regarding deficiency payments is to arrive March 10, Also the Ontario Farmers' Union are pre- senting the annual provincial brief to the Cabinet Ministers and will meet with all political parties on Wednesday, February 25. Edgar Rathwell introduced Glen Gardiner, Goderich, Inspector of Public Schools in the area, who gave a very informative and eye- opening picture of education in rural townships as it is today, Mr. Gardiner stated there are two systems of education: one being Unit ,School Section and the other being Township School Area. Also there are two main factors in education today: •one being a de- voted teacher and the all import- ant, an interested community. Mr. Gardiner felt there had been vast changes in farming and industry these last few years and the same change has been and is happening in education. Teachers are being hired to teach in an overcrowded school in many sec- tions and find the day too short to work in all subjects thoroughly with eight grades. He thought a two' or four room school ideal. and Barbara Carter, served lunch to the attests seated at the eight tea, tables, Many ladies of the town, in spite of the down pour of rain and icy streets, came out to at- tend this bazaar, 0 Clintonians Have Invitation To Goderich Club Party The Clintonian Club opened Feb- ruary 11 with the creed and pray- er with Mrs. Thomas O'Connell presiding, The minutes were read by Mrs. Ed.

Snell favoured with a humorous reading. Bingo , was played for the remainder of the afternoon. Next meeting will be held on March 11 at 2.30 p.m. in Council Chambers. MOTHERS' STUDY GROUP WILL MEET ON TUESDAY The Young Mothers Study Group will meet in the basement of Wesley-Willis United Church on Tuesday, February 24, at 8,30 p.m. Mrs. Howard Currie will be in charge. This would give the teachers more time to work with pupils and would let the pupils have time to do things for themselves. An- other factor is that many parents would rather have their children transported to and from a cent- rally located school than have them walking along today's dan- gerous highways. Mr. Gardiner said if the people want this, they can have it as the cost is not that great with the help of grants and taking every- thing into consideration. In clos- ing he said, "Every type of com- munity gets the type of school they deserve." A discussion period followed, with many questions being asked and Mr. Gardiner very ably an- swered them. It was the feeling of all present that education is given a second rating by a lot of us. Mr. Gardiner gave an instance of this with fig- ures from 1954. Money spent on tobacco and beverages per capita was $84 with $42 (a little more than half the amount) being spent on education per capita, which raises the question:' Which is more important, the education of our youth today for to-morrow's men and women or tobacco and beverages? A hearty vote of thanks was voted to Mr. Gardiner for his in- formative and much enjoyed talk. The meeting ended with our usual cup of coffee and lunch served by the ladies in charge.

SS 4 Farm Forum (By Mrs. Ira Merrill) The SS 4 Goderich. Township Farm Forum met Tuesday night, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Merrill. The topic of discussion was "Supervised Credit". It was decided that the farmers should be able to borrow more money with less interest with longer periods for repayments. Supervision May also come to play a more impoitant part in making loans. There should be competent farm management personnel avail- able to the bbrrower so that the capital will be properly serviced. Lunch was served and the Meet- ing next week will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Bird. Henry E Wallace Funeral service for the late Henry E.

"Setting up a salary schedule is a problem," noted one of the board members, "It seems that when teachers approach a maxim- um, then they want the .schedule re-adjusted. They appear to want the increase in grant which we receive from the province, passed along to them." The members felt that they would need to have uniform pract- ices among the boards across Ont- ario, so that they could bargain with the teachers who were them- selves well organized. One board member stated that in his town, they had ceased the practice of having a study and welfare com- mittee deal with meetings with teachers about salaries, since they found the teachers were using un- fair tactics—tactics they would not have used had , the bargain- ing meeting been a public meet- ing (that is, one at which the whole board was present). Schedules in the towns differed. In Clinton, a minimum is $2,400 and maximum $4,000 with an in- crease of $200 per year. In Exeter, the minimum is $2,600 and max- imum is $3,800 with increase of $200 per year. Wingharn has a minimum of $2,400, a maximum of $4,200 and a $200 per year increause until $3,600 is reached, then the yearly increment drops to $100 per year. A teacher with a mixed grade gets $100 extra; and a special• certificate in use warrants $100 extra. They pay a bonus for play- ground supervision. Seaforth uses a schedule with three different levels, for differ- ent qualifications, ranging from $3,000 minimum to $4,800 maxi- mum. Annual increment is $200. efsig. info Iliniteb eburtb REV. J. A.
