ATKINSON -EAMILY AND STAPP- Corm l y boar(! trot, "I object Members of the Huron County Board of Education voted 9 to &against supporting resolution from the Lambton County Board of Education to register an objection with the Ontario Government concerning the unequal methods of tax The motion said that methods such as the recent tax reduction given to the farming community was unfair when the urban property owner has not received any educational tax relief. Vice-chairman Robert Elliott told' board members he was opposed to concurring with the resolution froin Lambton which is a county influenced by a high urban population. "Agriculture is in a state of next thing to depression," Elliott continued. "Prices are lower now than in the early 50's but costs continue to rise. The, provincial government in its wisdom now has seen fit to grant the farmers some relief." "I think the farmers have subsidized the urban population long enough," concluded Elliott. "When 60 percent of your property taxes go to pay school levies, then farmers are certainly paying the lion's share." John Broadfoot was not satisfied with the wording of the Lambton resolution. He said the government had promised to give the farmers 25 percent off total property taxes less their shelter grant, not purely a reduction in' the education tax, "This is supposed to be paid by December 29," stated Broadfoot. "We're still hopin but we haven't got it yet." Dan Murphy advocated that the government should certainly be attempting to find some system whereby everyone is receiving some tax relief. Murphy said the working man who owns his own home is hard hit too. "The farmer is getting some THIS WEEK AT ELM HAVEN MOTOR HOTEL be entertained by "THE MARMOTS" relief but the urban people are getting none," said Murphy. "That's what the resolution is trying to say." Gordon Moir, a small businessman in Wingham, told the board he was wholly in favor of the Lambton resolution, "I think it is one method of drawing to government's attention the fact that there are tax inequities," said Moir. He also claimed that the small businessman was hampered by high educational taxes and added that "we can't write off a lot of the things farmers can write off". The board I voted 7 to 6 in favor of a policy permitting each secondary school principal to allocate a maximum of $50 in his yearly budget to defray the cost of advertising, in the school's year book. The policy also reserves the right to approve, or to suggest Gavel coming fol. new chaipman BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER , Each chairman of the Huron County Board of Education will have a gavel for his or her use, says policy passed Wednesday evening at the last regular session of the Huron County Board of Education for 1970.

An information report presented to the board at the meeting dealt with the question of school libraries, In connection with the report, the following recommendations were made by J. W. Coulter, superintendent of Program and Planning: 1. All schools should have libraries; 2. Shelves should be "weeded" of surplus copies; 3. Filmstrips should be as readily available as books, for pupils' use; , 4., Mom emphasis on use of facilities by individuals and small groups on an informal basis; 5. Instruction and practice in the use of materials by the pupils in preparing reports. "I am generally pleased with the progress we have made but several improvements remain as a challenge to us," concluded Coulter. • yOu're ready name ; he day...see the beautiful'; RAINBOW %VERDI% LINE INVITATIONS AND ,ANNOUNCEMENTS ANSTETT JEWELLERS LTD„ ii Clinton ' Walkerton.
