He encouraged OFA members to turn their atten- tion to the provincial scene where a leadership conven- tion is drawing near.

He would also touch on other benefits such as an insurance program and the farm machinery agency. services inside Remembrance Day ac- tivities at three area com- munities were altered by the weather, Sunday. Cenotaph services planned at Exeter, Lucan and Grand Bend were conducted indoors as organizers decided against having veterans and other parade participants and onlookers stand out in the rain for wreath laying ceremonies. The Exeter service was held at Trivitt Memorial Church and the wreaths were placed there. After the ser- vice, the parade marched past the cenotaph on the way back to the Legion hall for a social hour. Hensall was the only com- munity where services were conducted as planned and a steady drizzle fell on the par- ticipants through most of the proceedings.

Engineering is approved Several proposals for pav- ing and construction in Ex- eter were considered at the recent meeting of the public works committee. In a recommendation presented to council last week, the committee asked for permission to proceed on engineering for projects on Huron St. W. from Main to Carling; Nelson from Main to Carling; and John from Ed- ward to Pryde. In reference to the latter project, the committee recommended to council that an agreement be entered with Darling's for opening three lots on Pryde Blvd. prior to property owners on John St. agreeing to share in the costs of opening up the latter. Both recommendations were approved by council. *IP FAMILY GRADUATES — Bob Down, RR 1, Exeter wishes to announce the gradua- tion of his wife Potricio and daughters Barb and Patti.

The program is built around the Canadian grain farmer, who donates part of his harvest to the Foodgrains Bank. The Hensel! Co -Op, Cook's, W.G. Thompson and Sons and Glenn Hayter and Bev Hill are among the area grain dealers participating in the program: When a farmer brings hiliaien to the mill of his choice,Te may designate a certain amount to go direct- ly to one of the member denomination, or into the general fund of the Foodgrains Bank. The mill will make out two cheques, ask the farmer to en- dorse the one for the grain he's donating, and the mill will forward the chew on. The donations are tax deductable. The Canadian government has enthusiastically endorsed the Foodgrains Bank, and through the Canadian Inter- national Development Agen- cy (CIDA) gives $3 for every $1 donated in cash or grain by individuals or churches. The Foodgrains Bank in turn uses these donations to purchase grain at export prices. The partners in the program are known for safe, efficient and effective relief and development work, which 1 POPCORN FOR SALE — Students at Stephen Central School enjoyed a recent pop- corn sole.

T -A photo No reviews planned for schools in Huron While , enrolment, at some public secondary and elemen- tary schools in Huron County remains low, there will be no accommodation reviews this year. The Huron County Board of Education, at its November meeting, agreed to not review any of its schools during the 1984-85 school year. However, it was noted that "the only school identified for review consideration which was not reviewed last year was F.E. Madill Secondary School" in Wingham. Management given hikes The salaries of manage- ment level employees of the Huron County Board of Education have been brought into line with their counter- parts across the province. A policy review by the board determined the salaries of plant manager, chief ac- countant, transportation manager and purchasing manager. A board spokesman said the salaries were based on salaries for similar positions in the private sector and with other school boards. The salaries now range from 819,000 to 828,000 and by 1989 will range from 80,000 to 835,000 in 1984 constant dollars. The salary increases will be phased in over the five years. Join battle for centre Exeter has joined Stephen Township in the latter's bid to have a 810 million agricultural research centre built in the township. At their meeting last week, Exeter agreed to write Agriculture Minister John Wise to support Stephen's in- vitation to erect the facility near the Centralia Agricultural College. However, there appears lit- tle hope at this time that the invitation will be accepted. In an interview on the weekend, Wise indicated that he will stick with an earlier decision to have the facility located in London.

A report from the board's executive committee notes that the September 30 enrolment at F.E. Madill was 935, down form the September 30 enrolment of a year ago of 949. Director of education Bob Allan said a student popula- tion of 935 is still a "very viable size" and provides a good student base. He added that province -wide, F.E. Madill is probably in the up- per half as far as student population goes. "What you have though, is a building that would accom- modate a lot more students," said Allan.

Each partner controls how its account is used. When a serious need for foodgrains arisen and a safe and reliable delivery system to meet that need can be established, the Foodgrains $ank begins to make the shipping arrangements. According to executive director Wilbert Loewan, this food aid system is a highly reliable channel for deliver- ing help. "The needy receive all of the grain we ship, without charge. Our partners careful- ly monitor the delivery of each shipment from port to village", he said. The Canada Foodgrains Bank uses the slogan "Fight hunger. Make a deposit", and describes itself as "A Chris- tian response to hunger". Donations can also be ar- ranged through any of the seven partner offices or directly through the Canadian Foodgrains Bank Office, Box 767 Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 2L4.
