Grade'Eight Guidance
Grade eight students at Howick
that will be going to Norwell
Secondary School were recently • : given aid in choosing their
courses for their first year in High
School. Mr. Coleman, the Head of
Guidance at Norwell visited our
school to speak to us and answer
our questions. We were given
pamphlets which had outlined
every, course which could be
chosen. We also got a copy of the
Farmers are damn mad about'
premature announcement that
the Sarnia to Montreal pipeline
will be built, Gordon Hill,
president, Ontario Federation of
Agriculture, announced in
Toronto at noon today.
Hill pointed out that the
;uarantee cane from Energy
linister Donald S. MacDonald
cithin two days of postponement
1f the hearings before the
National Energy Board.
"Since the NEB has not been
lisbanded, 'we can only assume
..'Abinet supports its existence
end is prepared to consider its
lccisions, Hill points out.
If this is the case, MacDonald
!as abandoned the principle of
'abinet solidarity and on his own
, telling Ontario farmers in
•Ifect, to "drop dead," Hill says.
MacDonald's actions say he
ares nothing for farmers views
n the pipeline route; he is not
trepared to listen to the National
:,riergy Board, or wait for its
iecisions before announcing his
wn.
"If Cabinet supports the
!,nergy Board and believes in its
unctions, then the Prime
4inister has no alternative, he
lust 'remove MacDonald from
ffice," Hill says.
If the Prime Minister approves
is Energy Minister's
igh-handed pronouncements,
len he must disband the
lational Energy Board, Hill
ontinues.
"Farmers and other citizens
lust not be deluded into thinking
leir views on energy
evelopments will get serious
ansideration by a board
resumably set up for that
urpose."

Inflation Strikes at
Howick Central!
In Howick Central School,
inflation has interrupted the milk
program. Instead of fifteen cents
as usual for a carton of milk, it has
now gone up to sixteen cents.
Hopefully it will remain at that
level. Thank you for being patient
with the rising costsdbut inflation
strikes everywhere!

Chocolate Bars
The students of Howick Central
School have been out selling
chocolate bars this past week. the
proceeds raised from this will go
to the Students' Council who will
help pay for the renting of the ice
at the Community Centre. The
chocolate bars are selling for
$1.00 each. For every five
useful mechanism for justifying
and controlling energy
development in Canada and
supports its continuation.
Reviewing the background, Hill
,aid, OFA at the outset expressed
0 the Prime Minister and the
• .iiergy Minister farm opposition
o the Sarnia-Montreal pipeline.
)FA proposed, instead, a route
cross Northern Ontario which
would not destroy prime
agricultural land.
MacDonald. assured OFA that
the proper place to make an
intervention against the
proposed line was before the
National Energy Board.
"We were advised hearings
would be convened to hear both
pros and cons from which Energy
Board would make a decision and
forward recommendations to the
Energy Minister," Hill says.
"We were told the CAbinet would
'lien announce its decision.
"At the great, cost in people's
ine and energy as well as in
'armors dollars, we played the
. ,ame according to the rules set
,at by the Energy Minister," Hill
.tates.•.
"As an intervener at NEB
(earings, OFA has had
epresentativesin attendance
tch day, including the days of
he first hearings and the day of
esumption aft er the first
'ostponement," he continued.
The hearings were postponed
so that IPL and the Quebec
government could agree on the
most desirable route in •Quebec.
vmmaimmmaimom,
chocolate bars a student sells he
gets to put his or her name in a
box for a draw on a seven pound
chocolate bar. This has really
increased the activity of the
salespeople. Buy a chocolate bar/

Free Nights
Haven't got anything to do on
Wednesday nights? Well come
and read. In the recent Gazette
that was passed out at Howick
Central, it stated that Wednesday
night of every week would be set
aside just for the convenience of
parents who wish to and like to
read. The school library will open
at 7:30 and remain open till 9:30
p.m. starting in January• for any
parents who wish to borrow books
or read. The principal of Howick
Central hopes, to see many
parents participate on
Wednesday nights, and he
sincerely hopes it will be
worthwhile.
Ann Gibson
The hearings were again
postponed while IPL questioned
its ability to finance escalated
cost; asked government
assurance of support and finally
questioned availability of
sufficient western oil to make
pipeline pay.
The hearings were to be
reconvened at the request of IPL.
To OFA's knowledge, hearings
have not been reconvened and
OFA has received no notice that
They will be. Also, OFA has
received no copy of any NEB
decision, so assumes one has not
been made. •
