Board chairman warns
government grants drop
By Goid Whitehead
The new chairman of
Middlesex County Board of
Education has warned that
provincial government
grants for education will
probably 8rop another one
per cent in. 1979. putting an
even heavier burden on local
taxpayers. • .
Mr Baird, who represents
Parkhill, Ailsa Craig: East
and West -Williams
Townships. said Ontario fun-
ding covered 69 per cent of
elementary and 82 per cent
of secondary education bills
in 1971 but has been declin-
ing one pc r cent a year ever
since. "The problems this
board faces will be the same
as they have been in the
past". he warned
Mr Baird succeeds Jim
Scott of Lucan and Biddulph
Township. who continugs to
represent those
municipalities on the
Middlesex board. Howard
McLean of southwest
Middlesex was elected vice-
chairman of the board.
Meanwhile. the Middlesex
board has approved two
more contracts with
employees. 416 elementary
school teachers won an in-
crease of justovereight per
.cent. retroactive to
September 1. Salaries will•
now range from. $9.650 to
- S27.300. with the top four
categories matching those
of the secondary schools
teachers. whose contract
was approved in October
The elementary agree-
ment will cost the Middlesex
board $8.025.983 for 1978-79
an increase of $614.000 ever
last year and bringing the
total teacher contract cost
to $14 6 million. The elemen-
tary teacher contract took
nearly 11 months to
negotiate and a provincial
government factfinder final-
ly broke. the impasse.
Eighty secretaries. audio-
visual technicians and other
support staff in th_.
Middlesex County system
have each received a $765 •
'raise 'in a contract that is
retroactive to July 1 of this
year. Members of Local 1753
of the Canadian Union of
Public Employees had been
in a legal strike position -but
a provincial mediator was•
called in to help reach a
settlement. -
'The overall increase- is
eight per cent but the
„percentage is much higher
for those in lower salary
-categories. .lpproxirtlate
salary range for secretaries
in the.schools and the board
ddministrative office is $5.-
550 to $12.000
A policy for the sensitive
handling of surplus and..
redundant teachers - a thor-
ny problem in times of
declining pupil population -
has been approved for
elementary .schools in'
Middlesex but agreerhent
has not yet been reached for

procedure for the placement
of teachers who cannot be

We are concerned for the
children in the area. es-
pecially in Brucefield.
"'Are we going to have a
kid in the village hurt by
these dogs? The area is up-
tight about this. We know
they are being fed. Feed is
carried in there We know
they are being harboured
there Ion a nearby farm.
Mr. Hammond saidthe
dogs have been seen" running
wet into Stanley township
and deep into Tuckersmith.
"Do you want to wait to
investigate until somebody
is mauled? A child. an older
person carrying meat home
from the store^ he asked.
Bill Ross of Brucefield

his complaints and concerns
to council.
- "If you are wondering if
you have a dog problem. noir

seen the dogs at the cattle.
I've seen the dogs at the

sick of hearing these clegs

This summer three dogs
came right into my yard
right at me. What if it had
been a child in that yard?
I've seen as many as 20 to 25
dogs in a pack."
Aware of problem ,
Reeve Ervin Sillery said
the township dogcatcher
aware of the problem and
has been working on it. He_
explained that he. had a job
so is not free. to leave his
work to try to catch a stray -
during the day. As well he
has a medical problem
which will prevent him
working on it this weekend.
the reeve stated. He said he
did not feel that as reeve he
himself should be acting as a
dogcatcher.
Mri Ross said they were
una le to breed their mare
this -year because of what
would happen to the foal.
The Hammonds and Mr.
Ross agreed that council
must act immediately on the
problem
"It's up to this council. to
do something." Mr. Ham-
mond stated.
The reeve replied they
•would step up their efforts
and said he expected results
from the action council is
planning.
All agreed that •Mr.
. Bradley. the dogcatcher was
most capable but the cir-
cumstances of the problem
' were causing the delay in
solving it.
In other business council
was informed that Joe Gib-
son of RR 2. Seaforth. was
the area weed inspector.
Council approved. an
application from Alice Scott
of Brucefield for land
• severance by dividing a
parcel of land she owns in
the hamlet of Brucefield.
inister changes mind
By ADRIAN VOS
Ontario's minister of
Agriculture changed his
mind on the contentious
issue of agrominiums. At the
questioning on the subject at
the breakfast meeting of the
_Ontario Federation of
Agriculture, Mr. Neaman
admitted that he has agreed
to give a licence for a pilot
project.
Farmers Iry Simcoe County
have strenuously objected to
an agrominium .in West
Gwillembury Township.
They claim that it is just a
disguise for urban
development. The O.F.A.
has supported them in their
position.
An agrominium is a sort-ef
commune where a developer
divides a hundred acre farm
in ten acre lots, and puts ten
houses on it. The owners
supposedly will continue to
farm the remaining ninety

don. England. I could easily
see how it won the critics
award for the Best Play of
the Season in both its British
and American productions.
With its incisive wit and
carefully observed
character interaction. the
play remains a masterpiece
of subtlety and understate-
ment.
Securing the rights to
mount a production for the
opening season of the 'new'
Grand Theatre was a com-
plicated task - made more
difficult because I was fully
aware that the sometimes

might be offensive to some
theatre -goers in this com-
munity. Consequently I feel
it only fair to inform, in ad-
vance. those theatre -goers
who might be sensitive and
to state firmly that i do not
think this play is for the
whole family. but that"'( do
think it remains one of the
best examples of current

acres and from the profit pay
the mortgage.
The farmers see the future
as ten lots with some horses
or weeds, and many com-
plaints about the normal
farming operations of the
regular farmer.
- Mr. Newman said at the
'breakfast meeting that the
licence would not be given in
the originally intended
Simcoe Township.
The properties committee
of the Ontdrio Federation of
Agriculture expressed their
concern about a reported
increase of foreign owner-
ship of farmland in Ontario,
by passing a resolution
asking the Ontario Govern-
ment to implement "without
delay" an inventory of
foreign ownership.
The OFA also wants to
know the farmland holdings
of "non-farm Canadian
corporations".
Without dissent it was
agreed th,@t it may be
necessary to regulate non-
resident ownership.
Farmers also wanted to be
sure when they trade in their
old implement, that in case
of breakdown, a spare im-
plement will be available to
continue operations.
The new tubeless tire on
tractors and self-propelled
machinery sometimes cause
problems. When a sharp turn
is necessary the tire tends to
be pushed away from the
rim, resulting in a flat tire.
The farmers want the option
of a tire with or without tube.
