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 became 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 Eisenberg, Professor of the history and philosophy of education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, followed by writer June Callwood, chairman of the Writers' Union of 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. Taxpayers are just that Exeter ratepayers have already paid 7.2 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.

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 5115,000 worth of improvements :could be made over a 10 to 15 year period, but the purchase of several parcels of forested and valleyland adjacent to the present conservation area could bring total cost to nearly 5210,000 Response to a public display of the Master plan at Parkhill Public 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, lir. 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 zanes, 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. Stnall said. After natural resources ministry study, the plan is expected to go to 'the con- servation authority for formal approval.
