Davis I Minister of Education Willian G, Davis has told the province's wheel hoards that they will have to adhere to ceilings, established by the Department of Education by 1972,. At present, achool boards are allowed to exceed the ceilings imposed by the Department for grant purpoSes, with over-wxpentliture being raised solely through local taxes, Under the new regulation the boards, by 1972, will have to keep their budgets within the ceilings established by the Department. In a letter to school board chairmen last week, aimed at assisting school boards to speed the development of their 1971 budget, Mr. Davis stated that the ceiling on per pupil operating expenditures eligible for grant Will be increased next year to $545 per elementary school student from this year's $500 per pupil ceiling. The per pupil condary school ceiling will be ncreased to $1,060 next year, mpared to the current $1,000. The letter states that most oards were able to keep their 970 expenditures -within the pings imposed this year and it s expected that they will be able o keep their 1971 expenditures ithin the new ceilings. However, the letter warns that -hose boards who exceeded the epartment ceilings this year expected te iedtlee their over-expenditures by half next. year .and that all boards will have to stay within .the ceilings imposed in 1972. "While .the increases allowed in the .ceilings of expenditure per pupil are considered to ,he realistic, they do et the same time impose strictures which will necessitate close and careful scrutiny of all proposed expenditures. and, where it is fOund that these cannot be accommodated within the ceilings, it will be necessary to make (Choices among the priorities that the board will have established as part of its overall planning for the future.. "I cannot emphasize too strongly the need for every. possible economy in the light of the economic pressures which prevail at the present time. "There have been encouraging signs in quite a number of jurisdictions that the boards are conscious of this need and that they are making sincere and successful efforts to meet the problems involved, In some other jurisdictions it has not yet been possible to achieve the degree of economy that all of us would wish. It ,is my sincere desire that we make substantial further progress along these lines in 1971," the letter stated. UCO general manager to retire shortly Leonard Harman, the general manager of the $100 million yearly sales organization, United Co-operatives of Ontario, will retire early from his post sometime in the next 16 months, UCO president Robert S. McKercher announced last week. "The UCO Board has accepted Mr. Harman's request for'-early retirement-,-at-ibe by February 29, 1972," says Mr. McKercher. Mr. Harman, 60, has been UCO general manager since 1959. Since then, UCO has more than doubled its sales volume, now ranking as one of the top 100 business organizations in Canada. He has spent a good working lifetime -- 30 years -- with the large provincial regional co-operative. After retirement, he hopes to continue working with co-operative development, particularly in developing countries. He recently received a special award from the Jamaican Agriculture Society, honouring both his and UCO's contribution to co-operatives and agriculture in Jamaica. As a young man, Mr. Harman was active in many farm, co-operative, and adult educational organizations. He took a leading role in the organization of Farm Radio Forum -- well-known throughout Ontario and Canada in the early '40's serving as the first Ontario secretary and later as national secretary. He wrote for and edited, the "Old "Rural —Co=operator" '- tere— province-wide farm publication known today as "Farm and Country" -- and participated in the transition of the old province-wide; farm organization, the United Farmers of Ontario., into today's Ontario Federation of Agriculture. He assisted in forming and maintaining both the Ontario Credit Union League and the Ontario Co-operative Credit Society. His activity in adult education included service as chairman of both the executive of the Canadian Association for Adult Education, and the Canadian Institute on Public Affairs. But Mr. Harman concentrated most of his more recent energies on co-operatives. He literally helped form 100 local farm supply co-operatives* in the province in the early '40's, and was a key figure in the major transformation of the old United Farmers Co-operative Company into the modern-day United Co-operatives of Ontario. Twenty years ago in 1950 he was one of the prime movers in grouping the Ontario Credit Union League, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, and ' UCO to sponsor the Co-operators' Insurance Association of Guelph, The province-wide insurance organization is now the largest individual car insurance company in Ontario. He has been a leading figure in more recent years in the re-Organisation of 60 of the province's farm supply co-operative operations and services to patrons and reernbers. The appointment by the tJCO board of Julian Smith as assistant general manager was also announced by Mr. McKercher. Mr, Smith, UCO's distribution division manager, has been on the management staff since 1955, SQUIRE GIFTS is For everyone on your list every room in your home ... for the collector ... the hard to please ... the home lovers ... for yourself Our China, Crystal, Silver, Cookware and Giftware shelves are a sheer delight in the treasures they offer you ... all unusually fine items because we know that you want the exceptional the out-of-the-ordinary.
