The ministry noted that Seaforth was investigating such an apparatus and recommended Exeter get in touch with that community to see if all Municipalities could co-operate in its erection and operation, Exeter filed the letter. Council didn't show any in- terest either in having Attorney General John Yarernko visit the community for the observance of Police Week from May 13 to 20. They did, however, agree to have a proclamation published on that occasion, A letter from former Exeter lawyer, Elmer D, Bell, now chairman of the Ontario Police Commission, said Yaremko was available for visits to a selected group of municipalities during the week. No suggestion was made that he be invited here. "firecracker day". Exeter fire chief Gary Mid- dleton told council this week that he attended a recent training session on the handling of fireworks and said firecrackers can no longer be sold, The police are to confiscate any old stock local stores may have on hand. Fireworks can not be sold to persons under 18 years of age, although "family displays" can be sold and set off. Theycanonly be sold for 48 hours prior to the holiday though. Council agreed with Middleton that the local bylaw should be revised to show recent changes in the law and this will be published at a later date in this newspaper. Having attended the course in London, Middleton is now authorized to supervise public fireworks displays. 3 Outstanding Varieties From DEKALB ® XL-15A Tops for silage XL-311 A new early corn for combining XL-304 An old, reliable corn ...still the favorite of many area farmers PLANTED BY MORE FARMERS THAN ANY OTHER BRAND "DEKAL.0" is a Registered Brand Name.

Allen RR1 Woodham 229-8267 iticketsmith okays rates Tuckersmith Township will Pay a levy of $106,190 to Huron County for 1973, requiring a rate of 23.4 mills by all property owners in the township. This is an increase of 1,4 mills. For general township purposes the council set a rate of 20.0 mills on all farm and residential property and a rate of 25.0 mills on commercial and business assessment. This is a decrease in farm and residential of 1.6 mills, while commercial and business remain the same as last year. The township levy will. raise $92,056. Clerk James McIntosh pointed out that this general township rate does not take into account the proposed grant increases by the Ontario Government as presented to the legislature last Thursday. He said the township rate was set in February and that any credit attributable to this will be adjusted in the 1974 tax rate. For the Huron County Board of Education the primary rate of 20.8 mills was set on all farm and residential property and 23.0 on commercial and business assessment, compared to 20.5 and 22.6 last year; for secondary schools the rate is 15.2 for farm and residential and 17.00 for commercial and business compared to 15.5 and 17.00 last year. The primary school levy is $86,412 and the secondary school levy is $69,444. For the Huron-Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board the farm and residential rate is 25,4 mills and for commercial and business the rate is 28.3, compared to 23,4 and 26.0 last year. The levy for the Huron- Perth Board is $10,440. A public school supporter with an assessment of $5,000 would pay taxes amounting to $397 and a separate school supporter with same assessment would pay $420, In other business the council at its meeting Tuesday granted two building permits to Ross'Faber of Kippen for an addition to his barn and a shed; and to George Cantelon of RR 3, Seaforth, an implement shed. Court of Revision was held on the Kinsman Drain. No appeals were heard and the report of the drain was approved. Tuckersmith Council will meet with Hibbert Council on May 22 to discuss boundary roads between the two townships. Council accepted the tender of Fred Harburn of RR 2 Staffa for weed spraying at $5.00 per mile both sides of the road. The township has 100 miles of road. The engineering plans for the water system at Brucefield,.is completed and the program for securing easements is nearing completion. As soon as approval Parking request goes to planners The Exeter planning board will be asked to consider a request from Les Pines Hotel owner Peter Warkentin to establish a parking lot on the property at the rear of his establishment, Reeve Derry Boyle said the parking lot would be contrary to the zoning bylaw. Deputy-Reeve Helen Jermyn questioned Warkentin regarding the assertion made at the time of his building permit application that he had enough parking space. He said he actually had more space than legally required, but noted that people park haphazardly and use up more space than required. "It's impossible to mark off an area and have people park properly," commented Coun- cillor Ted Wright. .FROM QUEEN'S PARK By JACK RIDDELL, HURON MPP The air was unusually still around the Parliament Buildings this week, This was the week when the Ontario treasurer, John White, was to unveil his budget in the House. Government members were reluctant to voice their predictions for they Were fearful that the taxpayer was going to be compelled to reach into his pocket again. Opposition members predicted some form of a tax increase to overcome the heavy debt load of the province, but they certainly did not expect the treasurer to employ a regressive system of raising revenue which hits heavily at those making the least money. Well, it might have been a White Day in the house on Thursday; but it was a black day for most people across Ontario. The sales tax was increased from 5 to 7%, and items like gasoline, furnace oil, natural or manufactured gas, coal, coke, and electricity which were not previously taxed will now be subjected to the sales tax. Food, drugs, childrens clothing, garden seeds and plants, and pets will be excluded from the tax. Mr. White's budget, by his own estimates, makes $333 million more for the Ontario Treasury than it would have had he not in- creased taxes. This will leave the Government with a predicted budget deficit for fiscal 1973-74 of $402 million. The Ontario Treasurer plans to give the municipalities ap- proximately $180 million, now realizing that municipalities should have more autonomy in development of programs responsive to com- munity needs. Mr. White also plans to rebate the low income families in the way of tax credits which will amount to another $90 million to be taken out of the Treasury. Whether these rebates will be sufficient, remains to be seen. The poor and the struggling majority spend a far higherproportion of their income as a tax on purchases than their well-to-do neighbours. They may not buy as many things but the tax on the items they purchase is more important to them than it is to the well-to-do. School boards and post secondary institutions will benefit from the additional money granted to them by the Treasurer. The family farm was also taken in consideration. Succession duties have been effectively removed altogether from family farms. The Government intends to make provision for a once-in-a-lifetime gift of an interest in a family farm by a farmer to his children of up to $50,000 free of gift tax. The Government also intends to double the grants it gives to reduce the property taxes borne by farmers. The 50% tax relief grant on farm property is equivalent to complete ex- emption from property taxation for all farm land, leaving only the farm buildings to be taxed. Non-farm people will no doubt think that the budget is unfair, but considering the flood of farm people to the cities to share in the higher incomes, they must realize that some program was necessary to keep the farm units viable, being that farmers provide that first necessity, food. There is .no doubt that some segments of society will gain more than others, but it boils down to the fact that an increase in sales tax affects all people, and that such increases are regressive, in- flationary, and unnecessary. Regressive in that the low-income families spend a much larger proportion of their income on basic living needs, and thus will feel the pinch in the higher costs of practically everything they buy. Inflationary in that the budget's impact will raise consumer prices, and higher living costs will encourage higher wage demands. Unnecessary in that the Government really can not account for the large deficit in the first place, and in the second place the an- ticipated higher revenue generated by continuing economic growth should be able to provide the money the province needs. The Liberal Party of Ontario held their annual convention at the Chateau Laurier Hotel in Ottawa over the weekend with approximate- ly 1.500 people representing all areas of Ontario in attendance. There was more enthusiasm shown at this convention than there has been for some time, and the numbers of young people taking an in- terest and active part was overwhelming. Robert Nixon, leader of the Liberal Party in Ontario, never look- ed better and the decision he now has to make regarding the leadership is a tough one considering he received unanimous support from the Convention to continue in his present capacity. is received from the Ontario Municipal Board, tenders will be called for the installation work. Reeve Elgin Thompson and Clerk James McIntosh have signed the easements for the municipal services at Vanastra - storm sewers, sewage and water. Tuckersmith will oppose a proposed "archery" deer season in Huron from October 29 to November 25 because of cruelty to the animals.
