Allocate Canfarm monies Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan today an- nounced the federal govern- ment has allocated $5.8 million to complete its tran- sition funding for Canfarm Co-operative Services. Canfarm. a computerized farm accounting system, was transferred from the federal government to a con- sortium of farm organizations and co- operatives in April 1979. Under the transfer agree- ment. Canfarm was sold for a nominal $1. The federal government agreed to provide $1.2 million a year for three years, providing the' co-operative showed both financial need and progress in building membership. In addition, the govern- ment guaranteed a loan of up to $4 million to Canfarm, through the Canadian Co- operative Credit Society. Pf the $5:8 million tunding announced today, about $3.5 million will go to retire the loan. "We are exceeding our original commitment to Canfarm." Mr. Whelan said. "In addition to the loan guarantee. we are giving $2.3 million in federal funds to Canfarm to ensure that farmers who now subscribe to Canfarm will get the ser- vices they have contracted for. •The $2.3 million grant will ensure that all 1980 ac- counts are completed. "1 believe the federal government has completely honored its part of the bargain." Mr. Whelan said. "There will be no more federal funding for Canfarm in the future. "The onus is now on the farming community. If Can - farm is to be a viable opera- tion, farmers and farm organizations must support it now." -,rnnnrnIurnunrnnnnnrmmonnnl_ Bankruptcy Sale Mon.

In other business the board passed a bylaw authorizing the borrowing of up to $20 million to meet expenditures until revenue is received. A resolution from the City of Stratford asking that the Minister of Education be petitioned to make changes in the representation on boards of education in the province was endorsed by the Huron Board Monday. The Stratford resolution asked Education Minister Bette Stephenson to make changes so that membership of boards of education more adequately reflects student population and education taxes paid. , Representation by trustees is determined by assessment and commercial and industrial asssessments are not permitted to be used to determine urban representation. Stratford contends that rural' and ur- ban representation on boards has been changed because of higher rural assessments. The resolution added that through re -assessment ur- ban representation does not reflect population, student population. or education tax- es paid. The resolution came to the board's attention after it was endorsed by the town of Clinton. Trustee Frank Falconer took exception to the endorsement claiming it reflected on him. "Clinton is just a rubberstantping copycat of Stratford," he said. 'They're sore because they don't think they have representation and that comes back to me." Falconer. a resident of Tuckersmith Township, represents both the township and town of Clinton. Goderich Trustee Dorothy Wallace said Stratford had the right to protest their representation on the Perth Baord of Education. "Goderich is the biggest centre in Huron County and they may be left with only one representative," she said. "Representation has no relation to the number of kids or taxpayers."

The board gave unanimous consent to the motion Mon- day after learning that 44 In- dochinese in the Huron County school system were having problems integrating due to their inability to speak or understand English Director of Education, John Cochrane, said the board raves a real problem with the refugee students because they cannot speak or understand English. Before the students can be fully integrated into the education system, he said, they rnsut he taught English. The major problem is with the 22 secondary students, 20 of whom are at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton Those students are grouped in one class and Tender For 1981 Diesel, Tandem Dump Truck and Box, Hoist and Snow Plow Equipment Tenders Due January 19, 1981 Tender Forms avaiohle at Stephen Township Clerks Of- fice or Work Shed For Further informa- tion contact Eric Finkheiner Road Superintendent at 235.6461 (Shed) 234-6251 (Res.) spend most of the day with a remedial resource teacher, who is now unable ato provide assistance to students for whom it is in- tended. Superintendent W.D. Kenwell told the board the secondary school students have the academic ability but are set back by the language barrier. He added that the refugee students cannot even communicate among themselves because of differences in langguage. Some do speak French while Others may speak Chinese or Laotia. The situation appears to be a little brighter among the 22 refugee students in elementary shcools. They are spread out in seven coun- ty schools with the largest concentration being in Vic- toria School. Goderich with eight students and .Huron Centennial Public School with six. There are no grants available if additional staff is required to teach refugee students so the new teacher will be considered part of student services and the salary will not be added to a school budget. The board also hopes some assistance can be provided by adult volunteers. The expense of the ad- ditional teacher may fall back on the taxpayer but director Cochrane said that many sponsoring groups made the committment to assist refugees and therefore will have to bear additional education costs. station operation. Council rejected Hayter's appeal to have a developmental area at the rear of his property also changed to commercial automotive. Dan and Thelma Waldron objected to their property being zoned environmental protection. Council told them that they were waiting for a decision on that area from the Ausable Bayfield Con- servation Authority. That same answer applied to several fishermen who were at the meeting. Others with objections which may be taken to the Ontario Municipal Board were Ivan Sharrow, William Adelman, of Fountainblue Motel and Don Southcott of Southcott Pines Park Land Ltd.
