The meeting began with the looking over of the record books. The purpose was to see what we will be doing in the future. After this was done the election of officers was held. The president is Pauline DeVries, vice-president is Heather Browning, Secretary -treasurer is Kim Merkies and press reporter is Carolyn Pritchard. After the elections, mem- bers watched a film called "Best Horse". A calendar of all the events planned for this year was distributed. Books containing the topics for the meetings ahead were given out. Exeter court Continued from front page the charge and had not been notified the officer would not be in court. He also advised the court he was going west later to work and would be unable to come to a later trial date. In one of the three cases that did proceed in Tuesday's session, Robert Charles, i 1 -Atkinson, RR 1 Centralia, pleaded guilty to d4iving while under suspension and was fined $250 and had his licence suspended for a fur- ther six months consecutive to any current suspension. He was granted 30 days in which to pay the fine for the charge which was laid Oc- tober 21 in Stephen Township. Two other men were each fined $100 after pleading guil- ty to separate charges of fail- ing to stop When signalled to do so by police. Leonard Stanely Facey, RR 3 St. Marys, had been charg- ed on January 30, while John A. Struyke, Dashwood, had been charged on April 10. Both men were given time in which to pay the fines. which were the minimum in both instances.

MASYS 4 sored by the high school stu- dent's council drew over 200 parents and students to be entertained by eight acts, some of legitimate talent and others purely for fun. The $50 first prize was well earned by The Band, a trio of grade nine boys, Darren Tin- ney, John Farwell and.Mark Hartman. The crowd was bopping and shaking to The Band's top class songs. Drew Hassleback added his talents on guitar and in his shoes to The Band and to several other acts. The Unknown Step -Outs tap-danced their way to the $30 second prize. The eight girls, all Regiers, were in good form last Friday. Jay Alblas sang a- solo unaccompanied. He had writ- ten his own thought-provoking and heart -touching song, decrying the world's situa- tion. His voice and lyrics had the audience stilled and think- ing in the otherwise just -for fun evening. Jay well deserv- ed his $20 third prize. Judges, Joe Wooden. prin- cipal; Pete Zankowski, teacher; and Bobby Knox, renowned janitor, made the distinction between the above talent and *zest of the acts. The Four plus One accor- dion group who recently had high marks at the Kiwanis Festival brought their talent to the South Huron stage, but were disappointed with their performance. A group of grade ten girls put on the comic skit McPickup with the well - muscled Rob Tait being their eventual purchase. The Nine Neat Guys relied " on their own voices for their second South Huron ap- pearance. These senior. boys sang "Nobody" and "Twisting by the Pool" with appropriate actions. A group of grade twelve girls translated Dr. Hook's song "You Make My Pants Wanna Get Up and Dance" into a literal, well - choreographed dance. Bob Sangster performed a stand-up routine with a puppet. Messrs. of Ceremonies, Scott Batten and Mike Flem- ing. kept the audience enter- tained between acts with their mind boggling feats of ingenuity. Middlesex education taxes increase 12.6% Middlesex County ratepayers will pay an average 12.6 percent more in education taxes this year following the•setting Monday night of a county school board budget of $39,982,737. Due to the complicated natureof assessment requisi- tions throughout the county, the actual increase presented to each municipality will vary froma low of 9.2 percent in West Williams Township to a high of 19.7 in Metcalfe Towt,ship. Westminster Township, which pays the highest single requisition to the county, will eee.its education taxes go up 10.9 percent, while London Township, the municipality with the second-largest tax ,requisition; will pay 12.4 per- cent more. The Strathroy education tax goes up )1.4 percent. After weeks of discussion and about $1.5 million in cuts, trustees approved the budget with one last blast of disap- proval aimed at the provin- cial goverpmept and its education funding policies; ' Busihess superintendent' Bill Ashby told trustees that in the current budget year provincial education grants would pay about 56 percent of the board's $39.9 million ex- penditures. Ten years ago, he added, that figure had been 68 percent. Trustee Delmar Cobban later argued that if the pro- vince intended to keep on cut- ting its education grants, local boards might be forced to react by cutting the school year to save costs. He estimated that shutting the school system down two weeks early could save the board in excess of $1 million in costs and salaries. . Although concerned about " costs, trustees agreed they hlhd no choice but to go ahead CONCENTRATION --- Lee Cardwel , Grand Bend, learns how to replace a light switch at a home repair workshop organized by the Clinton OMAF office and held in the Hensall United Church basement.

Ashby told trustees the ministry of education had .agreed to finance the renova- tion project but had warned that its 5380,000 in funds would not be available until 1984. It had advised the board, however, to proceed this year using its own reserve fund to finance the cost. In one last cost-cutting move, trustees decided to discontinue string music pro- grams at its Strathroy schools, and then, with some relief put the seal on a budget that represents an 8.9 percent increase in spending over 1982. • • • • • •• • • • • ALL FABRICS: 10.501i 0 OUR REGULAR PRICE • • 64FABRIWCS ePt • • 371 Main St. Exeter • 235-2842 • • • • ate, Armstrong flo(ws BIGGEST BL()OMIN' SOLABIAN SALE It!
