Noting that the contest be- tween the family farm and the factory farm was becoming more intense, Dr. Lane said' that the United Church should be firm in its stand for the family farm as the ideal and then do everything possible to translate the ideal into practical terms. "The alternative," he said, "is for primary producers to come wholly under the um- brella of monopoly capitalism, Air force officers address policemen RCAF Station Clinton's School of Instruction Technique (SIT) known from coast to coast among educators, teaches civilians as well as servicemen.

Up until last year, the board ped into its surplus funds to prevent an increase in the levy. Secretary-treasurer E.D. Ilowey presented the statement, noting that it remains to be verified by, the auditors. Total expenditures du r tog 1962 came to $367,882 while revenue amounted to $367,113.- 34. Teachers salaries and in- struetional supplies amounted to well of over one-half of the total cost--$209,675 or 57%. Transportation, at $01,400, as- sumed 17% and debenture debt charges of $52,315 amounted to 14%. Other expenditures Inclu- ded plant operation and main- tenance, $24,132 (6 1/2%); ad- ministration, $9,314 (2.5%), The provincial government contributed slightly over one- half of the total revenue of $367,113. The general grants and the special residential and farm grants totalled $186,123 or 50.6%. The nine mills on district assessment raised a total of $132,502 or 36%.

A concerted effort by a mer- chants' and businesmen's asso- ciatioa acting in association with the munielpality to estab- lish joint parking lots on the perimeter of the core will,per- haps., be the ultimate answer," (A move is already afoot by town organizations to undertake a study of this situation.) Regarding the changes made in the industrial zone, where certain industries classed as offensive were removed from the original list, the official commented, "It would appear that some of the most obnox- ious of the offensive trades have been deleted from the by- law." Another comment: "The in- clusion of apartment buildings in a general commercial cate- gory is unusual." This was done to permit construction of apart- ments in the store owned by Mrs. William McKenzie at the corner of Main and Wellington. Ile also felt there was no legal problem over the phrase "established grade", which had been questioned by sever al ratepayers.

There was also some ques- tion as to whether the $120 grant to the intermediate ball club for uniforms would set a precedent, although all mem- bers were in favor of helping the team. The thought occurred that other team organizations might make the same requesta. In fact, Lloyd Cushman said his ladies' softball team required uniforms this year. Councillor Joe Wooden, who made the request for a uni- form grant, pointed out that the members of the team paid all other expenses out of their own pockets and this amounted to $400 to $500 during the sea- son.

He recommended that would- be visitors to such institutions as hospitals, nursing homes and Huronview stay away if suffer- ing from a cold or feeling at all indisposed. "The best place for anyone who develops chills, sore throat, headache or other symp- toms of 'flu is still in bed," Dr. Aldis states. "Aspirin and fluids are of help in treatment, but if symptoms do not abate, consult the family doctor." Miss G. Vivian Adair, super- visor of public health nursing, introduced Miss Shirley Mc- Leish, post-graduate student from the University of Western Ontario. A graduate of Victoria Hospital, London, following her public health course at Western she will serve with the Vic- torian Order.

The addition of Mrs. Margaret Fletcher, clerk, to the Exeter staff has facilitated the work there and especially h elpe d Miss Westgate, who is carry- ing a heavy district and giving much off-duty time to the Health Unit."

The Liberals plan a meeting in Goderich April 2 which will feature Walter Gordon, MPP in the last parliament and one of the party's economic ad- visers. The grits also plans a num- ber of party township meetings throughout the riding. The PC's to date have not announced any public meetings although it's expected there will be at least one before the elec- tion.
