He knows what it is like to be a failure, He walked this earth and dwelt among men. On one occasion Jesus wept. He is involved in the struggle of every human be- ing and He works through our weaknesses." "We are all involved in a ministry, one to the other. It doesn't matter if we are lay persons or ministers. In our limitations we think we have nothing to offer but we have. We are all involved in Christ's ministry." Rev.

The committee has heard from eight commodity groups, such as pork producers, and other livestock groups and far- mers' organizations which were invited to participate. Reeve Haberer said while the meetings are closed to the public, it was felt input should be received from the farming community, thus invitations were extended to commodity groups. Once the draft bylaw has been prepared, the com- mittee will review it. When a final draft is prepared, the commodity groups will be invited to a further meeting before a final bylaw is recommended to county council. Goderich Deputy Reeve Robert Allen wanted to know why the special committee meetings are closed to the public. In the committee report, it was noted a letter had been received asking the same question. Clerk -treasurer William Hanly said all committee meetings, except the planning board are not public meetings, but the public may be invited to attend. He said ft has been this way since he came to the county in 1958 and as far as he knew since 1842.

Times -Advocate, March 3, 1911111 Separate board has surplus Huron -Perth Separate School approved its 1981 financial statement at its February 22 meeting, which showed an accumulated sur- plus of $10,313. The statement shows a total expenditure in 1981 of 85.920,779. Of this, 81,135,578 was raised through local tax- ation. The largest expen- ditures was in education ser- vices, $3,997,074. Trustee Don Murray asked why the statement did not go through the financial com- mittee prior to corning to the board for final approval. "We can't be expected to approve $5 million in expen- ditures in five minutes," Trustee Murray said. Superintendent of business and finance Jack Lane said the statement has always been brought to the board as a whole. He also said the faster it is sent to the Ministry of Education, the faster the board will get its 1981 holdback. Past chairman Murray said he wanted to know ex- actly where the money was spent, and if it had gone through the financial com- mittee. its members could answer his questions. "I'm not saying it wasn't spent right," said Trustee Murray. He added the board's staff is "pretty good."

Hay council Continued fronikont page ministry of consumer and commercial relations and caretakers of a cemetery on highway 84 near Ferguson Apiaries. A complaint about the up- keep of the cemetery was directed .to council through the ministry. Gerald Shantz suggested people who complained be at the meeting to discuss what the problems are. Tony Bedard said snow pushed off the roads had tilted some of the tombstones and would destroy a new fence if one were built. The cemetery has had some "pretty rough van- dalism" in the past year. Wilder added. Rau said it was hard for council to- take action without knowing what the problems of the cemetery were. Council also plans a meeting with the people who raise pheasants in Hay Township. A letter from the ministry of natural resources suggested licence funds from the townships of Hay. Stephen and ' Usborne be pooled to allot money to those who raise pheasants. The letter suggested a common licence for the three townships. Hay resisted reciprocal licences with the townships last season. Kau said the township could keep better control of hunting if they handled licen- cing on their own. Money raised in •Hay, stays in Hay to raise pheasants, Rau said. Wilder said the letter noted the confusion of hunters trying to get licences' in the three townships. Kau said Hay had a good system for hunting pheasant and suggested the council meet with those concerned with raising the birds. The township accepted the Hensall fire budget of $21,- 500. The'township's share is 25 percent of the costs. 85.- 375. 'Council also approved. subject to a written request. its share of the purchase price of a truck radio for the Zurich and area fire board. Rau said he had been ap- proached by members of the fire board and told a recon- ditioned radio was available for $650. Ile said the fire depart- ment would need the radio sooner or later and it should he Nought now. He noted the cost would be twice as mull for a new•radio. I Bedard argued the need to buy the radio right away was a sales pitch. He added he had not yet been convinced of the need of the new beeper paging system let alone a . new radio. Wilder agreed with the need for the radio, but added that if the purchase was im- portant,it should come as a written request from the fire board. In going over the financial statement, Mr. Lane said "the year has been successful from the stand- point of the board's financial position" referring to its ac- cumulated surplus. A favorable reaction from the teachers to a split grid for the 1981-82 school year was a contributing factor. A considerable increase in cost was experienced in transportation due to in- creased costs of gasoline, oil and general repairs. Comparing 1981 figures to 1969, per pupil cost of educa- tion has risen from 185 to $1,- 926 a year, or ;2,380 if transportation is included. A total budget increase of 224.1 percent increase from 1969 to 1981, had the mill rate increase 131.7 percent in 13 Few need assistance years, or 10.13 percent per program and services. year. This can be compared French starting at grade to the Canadian rate of infla- tion four. English tion which in 1981 alone was as a second language for immigrants 12.5 percent. and a family life program. Trustee Murray asked what the board had for its expenditures, new programs since 1969 were listed. They include kindergarten in all schools, special education Let's run around together. High unemployment . has resulted in increasing numbers requiring social services assistance, but In Huron County statistics show less than one percent of the population needed assistance in December of 1981. At Huron County council's February session this past week, clerk -treasurer William Hanly said eight - tenths of one percent needed assistance in December 1981. He has heard of it being as high as 30 percent m other municipalities. Social services ad- ministrator John MacKinnon presented 1981 statistics, showing 1,995 cases had been handled in the year. The largest number were in March, when the figure reached 204 cases. In December, 197 cases (the second highest month) were handled. The lowest number of case';, 137, were in July. Mr. MacKinnon's presentation showed social services '1981 budget was overspent by ;48,625. Its proposed budget was ;616,725, but actual ex- penditures came to ;665,350. The county's share of this was 1169,077 up from the budgeted amount of 8162,670. The province's share also increased from $454,055 to $496,273. "The over expenditures occurred for the most part in our general assistance and homemaker's programs. The higher general assistance expenditures were caused by higher caseloads during the year caused by numerous lay-offs and lack of job op- portunities," said Mr. MacKinnon.

'he move was approved at ttfe suggestion of the executive committee which met with Little prior to Monday's regular session. Mayor Bruce Shaw said that when the road allowance on Eastern Ave. was reduced, some errors were made in the legal descriptions and as a result, some property owners have ended up not owning about 20 feet of property that they thought they owned. Shaw said the cost of straightening out the matter would be less than $1,000 and explained to council that some of the property owners involved in the situation would be paying a portion of those costs.
