She pointed out that teacher organizations have (Continued from Page 8) and buggy to "big tractors gulping in excess of seven gallons of fuel an hour .." Now Mr. Van Wonderen pointed out, the farm community is faced with the problem of fossil fuels becoming scarcer and more expensive while farmers must keep their machinery going to compete on the market. He called for more research by Agriculture Canada into alternative forms of energy which can be used to operate farm machinery. Both Bob McKinley and Murray Gaunt agreed that more research was needed into the question of fossil fuels and agriculture. Mr. Gaunt said the United States and Canada already face the possibility of fuel rationing due to the instability in Iran. He said this situation "makes us realize how dependent we are on fossil fuels." Tony McQuail, of the Lucknow area ) another federation director, also made a plea for less dependence on fossil fuels, saying "the days of cheap, unlimited energy are past." Mr. McQuail suggested the government could encourage the development of alter- native approaches by maintaining the best agriculture land for agriculture; by en- couraging more co-operation among farmers in sharing machinery; and by ensuring farmers get enough return on their invest- ment to spend money on new technology and to experiment with new approaches. Mr. McQuail said more emphasis should be placed on cropping systems which require fewer non-renewable energy outputs. He (Continued from Page 3) that when a letter of reply is sent to Freedom of Choice that it be explained that "the book is not banned it is de-listed". Mr. McDonald said the word banned is not the proper expression and asked that the letter explain that. Margaret Rivers, author of the letter, said she was disappointed with the board's action. She said she did not think the board would re-instate the novel but she did think ne matter would be sent to committee. Mrs. Rivers said she did not know how Freedom of Choice would react to the board's move adding that the group is meeting later this month and further action The Blyth Centre for the Arts is currently having its' most successful and active Winter Season.

He recommended grants of up to $10,000 to assist farmers in experimenting with alternate energy forms. Both Agriculture Canada and 0.M.A.F. could then keep farmers posted on the con- servation and renewable energy techniques developed under the program, Mr. McQuail said. Murray Gaunt complimented Mr. McQuail on his- own experiments with energy conservation and told the audience that the Lucknow-area farmer is installing a wind generator on his farm and hopes to feed excess power back to Ontario Hydro from the generator. The Huron-Bruce MP also said if the capital grants program is renewed by the government, it will operate in a different form, and might apply to projects like the one Mr. McQuail had undertaken. Frank Wall, a member of the OFA executive, told Mr. McQuail he looks forward to the day when "Ontario Hydro will be sending you a cheque every month." Mr. McQuail said his philosophy on the matter is "let's use Hydro but take away some of the monopoly control they have. . . make it a shared resource." Jack Riddell agreed with his fellow politicians that there should be a research and development fund to assist farmers like Mr. McQuail who are experimenting with alternate energy uses. will be planned. She said she understood the board's action adding that in a way it was fair. She conceded that the issue can't be debated "over and over". "I feel it's time the board put its foot down and said this is the way we are going to deal with this but it didn't do that the last time," said Mrs. Rivers. She pointed out that the Renaissance group was given an opportunity to address the board the last time it brough the matter up. She said the board discussed the matter with the Renaissance group adding that it "irritated" her that that opportunity was denied Freedom of Choice. The Huron County Board of Education decided Tuesday a $4,700 voice to the ministry of education was too expensive. The board decided not to renew its membership in the Ontario School Trustee's Council (OSTC) the official pipeline to the minister of education for school boards in the province. Membership in OSTC has been a contentious issue with the board for the past year. When the $4,700 member- ship came due in 1978 former Goderich trustee Cayley Hill suggested the board shy away ,from joining. Hill said at the time that the board faced a very tight monetary situation in the next few years claiming the money could be better spent. He told the board that teachers had been requesting new equipment for technical and commercial classrooms pointing out that the $4,700 could "buy a lot of type- writers". Shirley Hazlitt, trustee for Goderich township, de- fended membership in OSTC when Hill suggested the board get out. Hazlitt said at that time that the conference for new trustees sponsored by the council was very worth while and she felt the board should remain a member of the council. Ha zlitt has come full circle. Tuesday she made the re- commendation that the board get out of OSTC. She said she felt the board voice to the minister of education through OSTC was "not very loud and not very clear" and recommended that the board not join this year. Dorothy Wallace, Goderich trustee, reminded the board that membership in the council may be in the board's best interest.
