Mrs. Bell noted that the November 15 instalment represents more than one- quarter of the levy because of sewer frontage which is levied on the last two tax instalments only. "In my 15 years I don't recall a year when the tax receivables were so low," Mayor Derry Boyle com- mented. "That's no reason to put them up next year,"Reeve Si Simmons quickly replied. "I didn't say that," Boyle countered. The Mayor added that as long as there are no major unforeseen expenditures to the end of the year, the town should end up in a "pretty sound" financial situation. Mrs. Bell indicated that all the expenditures to date appear to be within budget for the period elapsed, Your Boost Town Home Auction Sale of Household Furnishings & Misc.

Norm Whiting, Auctioneer For Further Information Call Exeter 235-1964 Late SH teacher on debate Censorship in education will be discussed at a one- day conference sponsored by the English Department of The, University of Western Ontario. Aimed at English teachers and school librarians, the November 3 conference will deal with the suppression of literature and films con- sidered offensive by school boards. Six speakers, in- cluding June Callwood, Warner Troyer and a representative of the Ontario Board of Film Censors, will talk about different aspects of the problem. Prof.T,J, Collins, English Department Chairman, says concern over censorship in the schools has been mounting among teachers as a result of recent -actions by some school boards which - have removed material from curricula on the grounds that it is obscene. During the time last year when several books were on trial for obscenity in Huron County Prof. Collins was involved in discussions and becaine concerned that teachers have no means of taking action against "people on these boards who for religious reasons or other reasons condemn books which often they haven't even read'. The Saturday conference begins at 10 a.m. with John Spend 115,000 in 15 years Eisenberg, Professor of the $ history and philosophy of education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, followed by writer June Callwood, chairman of A $115,000 master plan for the Writers' Union of improvements to Parkhill Canada, and Colin Lowndes, a teacher at South Huron District High School. From 2 p.m. to 4 the group will hear Mary Brown of the Ontario Board of Film Censors, Warner Troyer and Alan Borovoy, President of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.

The document has been forwarded to), the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, source of most of the funding, according to John Small who is author of the proposed plan. The ministry may request some changes and give "technical" approval before returning it to the con- servation authority for its formal approval. The $115,000 worth of improvements would be made over a 10 to 15 year period, but the purchase of several parcels of forested and valleylancl adjacent to the present: conservation area could bring total cost to nearly $210,0(3y. Response ito a public display of tligiVister plan at Parkhill Publlb' Library and at the conservation area "was pretty poor", Mr. Small said. Only one person visited during the day he spent at the library display and only a dozen persons picked up summaries of the plan during the entire week in late August. As a result of the scarce public input, no changes were made in the draft plan, Mr. Small said. "It was a little bit discouraging". Major proposals for Parkhill Conservation Area, described in detail in the August 23 Gazette, include reforestation projects, windbreak buffer zones, increased wildlife populations, planting projects, construction of an activity interpretive centre and small tent camping area, There had been discussion of the addition of a swim ming pool to the con- servation area but that has been rejected for the master plan. "It .was discussed at length but the idea is to get people interested in the reservoir and the ministry (natural resources) doesn't provide funds for swimming pools", Mr. Small said: After natural resources ministry study, the plan is expected to go to the con- servation authority for formal approval.
