are just that
Exeter ratepayers have
'already paid 72 percent of
their tax bill for the current
year, a figure termed as
"excellent" by clerk Liz Bell
as she reviewed the town's
financial picture to date at
council's regular session,
Monday. .
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,

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.
About 450 teachers and
librarians are expected to
attend the conference which
will take place in Room 40 of
the Business School.
Registration is $25.

Bayfield Conservation
Authority.
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.
