Many of the students were finished as early as Wednesday. Everyone is now enjoying the Week of Winter holidays. This Week replaces what was form, erly known as Easter vacation. I hope that all have enjoyed them, selves and are prepared to put forth one last effort to make the next term successful. The advent of sunny weather, coupled with the disappearance of the snow has brought thoughts of spring and new clothes to the minds of many. The colours in evidence this year are smashingly bold! Bril- liant pink, zingy green, and wild yellow, along with orange, coral and turquoise, dominate the spring fashion scene. Navy, a perennial spring colour is match- ed with lime green, yellow and hot pink this spring. Shoes and stockings of the same colours are very prev- alent. Shoes have 1" - 1 1/4" chunky heels and sling-backs are still popular. Bows and buckles have again been introduced as show adornments. Men's styles have not actually changed that much. Bright colours are making their ap- pearance in men's fashions in shirts and pants. The newest high-fashion look is the turtle- neck sweater, which is now made of materials ranging from wool to satin. They are usually worn with velvet or dark jackets. Jewellery for men, in the form of gold chains is predicted to be the next big fashion for men. So, get out your check-book and enjoy yourselves! Bye! educate and lots of assessment. "That reminds me of the man who said, "I have nothing. I am willing to share it with every- body." James R. Thomson, assistant superintendent of the Ontario De- partment of Education, found himself under severe question- ing by the 180 municipal dele- gates at Goderich last Tuesday assembled to discuss regional government. Men and women from Huron, Perth, Wellington, Grey, Bruce and Middlesex fired question after question at the educational executive who gave a special lecture on the re-organization of school jurisdictions. Well-informed in the matters of education in the province, quick-witted and clever, Mr. Thomson made use of every sec- ond of his time with the munic- ipal minds assembled. Many per- sons commented that Mr. Thom- son's presentation had been the most valuable of the entire day. "There will be one board of education for a county," he stated. "In Huron there will be 14 members, likely 13 from the public school boards and one from the separate school boards." "It will be the responsibility of the county council to distribute county municipalities," Thomson continued. "Within certain limits, representatives will be determined by residential and farm assessment. For instance, if you have 20 percent of the residential and farm assessment, you would get 20 percent of the representation. Provision has been made for appeal to the county judge who may approve or reject." He went on. "There will be biennial elections. Nominations will be held in the municipality with the largest residential and farm assessment. Thomson explained that boards of arbitration will be set up to settle the matters of assets and liabilities within the county and across county boundaries. This part of the plan will not become effective until 1970 although re- ports of arbitrators will be re- quested by the department of education by the end of 1969. "Municipalities within the county will share costs on the basis of provincial equalized as- sessment," Thomson advised. "And since the school board is to be elected it is proposed that boards will issue their own de- bentures with some policing by the Ontario Municipal Board." "The tax bill in 1969 will have to indicate clearly how much goes for school purposes and how much goes to the munici- pality," the education official warned. r It will be done by the municipal clerk, and I suppose it will go out in the same en- velope. There is no intention of duplicating the tax collecting machinery." Asked when the separate schools would come under the department's thumb, Mr. Thom- son said there were constitut- ional and legal problems which are presently being studied by department lawyers, He added that most separate school of- ficials are in favor of coming under the jurisdiction of the department of education in On- tario. Another person asked about schools for retarded children.' "When the political question is solved we will be ready with legislation to include schools for retarded children," answered Thomson. Would grants be increased? "With new divisional boards grants will be increased accord- ingly," said Thomson. "I will be surprised if it isn't sufficient so that it will not raise costs locally." Would Board of Education buses pick up high school child- ren, public school children and separate school children in one operation to cut down on the number of buses travelling the roads? "Probably," said Thom- son. "Let me remind you, though. The fact that you want to run your own show and won't co-operate with your neighbors where school buses is concerned, cannot be blamed on the department of education. You are free to trans- port your children to school in the most economical way pos- sible." Will municipalities have to turn over all the money for educational purposes even though some taxes are unpaid? "yes," answered Thomson. "The municipalities have the machinery for collecting tax arrears. I guess they will just have to implement them." Debentures? "Debentures al- ready issued can't be changed," remarked Thomson. "The new board will assume the respon- sibility for those debentures." In a lighter vein—though still serious—Mr. Thomson referred to the theory held by some that communities with few children and small assessment should pay less in proportion than commun- ities with many youngsters to' A wheeling we will go Ares youngsters wasted little time in taking advantage of the warm spring weather of this week as they brought their bicycles out of hiding.

No Canadian should remain indifferent to the fact that there is, in this country, a program whose objective is to promote progress in dis- advantaged rural areas. ARDA is a joint Federal-Provincial program and its goals are to increase income and employment opportunities of rural people and increase the efficient use of rural lands. In order to achieve these objectives, AR DA is using various means : — In Ontario, for example, major emphasis is being directed to the farm enlargement program and to the counselling, training and mobility programs which are applicable to the entire rural population. — The problem in Ontario resolves itself into the improved utilization of both human and natural resources. Our changing technology almost dictates that society will be increasingly urbanized. ARDA in Ontario can and is as- sisting in the many facets of relocating rural people in urban centers, while at the same time and wherever possible the land resources of the rural areas are being developed and brought into improved productivity to better serve the rural population. In brief, social and economic development for rural people and optimum utilization of natural resources are the two concepts inspiring AR DA. a • • a a • • AGRICULTURAL AND RURA L AR DEVELOPMENT ACT OF .CANADA bk-04-14fivit6.if .60 '060iEdtitiv AND "RURAL DEVELOPMENT OTTA'W'A
