Mr. Hanley pointed our to council that over the past seven years the province has been picking up large an ever -larger share of the county budget.

When con - Huron County Council last week voted approval of a 1981 budget calling for spen- ding of $10.7 million. This is up by 7.5 per cent over the -1980 -budget, though it is some $36,000 under ac- tual spending 1st year, when the county over shot its budget by more than a million dollars. Road con- struction and the new Auburn garage accounted for the overspending. As a result, the county por- tion of the budget to be collected from Huron municipalities has shot up by more than 21 per cent this year. The 1981 county appor- tionment is $2,748,100, up from $2,264,500 in 1980. Bill Hanley, county clerk- ' treasurer and ad- ministrator, explained the large increase in apportion- ment can be traced directly to the overspending. Whereas the county started last year with a $253,538 surplus, it finished with a deficit of $504,150.

"I seem to have the zip to go, but I just can't get into ac- tion," she said. Mrs. Hendrick, who drives a Charterways bus for students of South Huron District High School in Exeter, says she really misses her work, and can't wait to get back at it. She says she can't remember anything about the accident. The last thing she remembers is eating a sandwich, while continuing to pick up brush. The men told her to sit down while she was eating lunch, she said. Soon after that, the tree, which was 20 centimetres in diameter, fell off course and struck her. She was un- conscious. She says that because the bush was not accessible by car, they had taken a tractor. Her son Allan, 16, and Doug Weigand went for help after the accident. Hoffman's Ambulance responded to the call, but the ambulance had to be left at the road, while the crew and their equipment had to be transported by pick-up truck. Mrs. Hendrick says that if she continues to recover as quickly as she has in the past few days, "there won't be any grass growing under my feet." Canadians leave Afghan unrest The following story, reprinted from a March issue of the Mennonite Reporter, gives some ex- planation for the evacuation of Canadian Workers from Afghanistan. It was forwarded to us by Carol Erb. Ms. Erb, a Zurich native, had been employed as receptionist -secretary at the NOOR Eye Institute in Kabul, Afghanistan for the past eight years. In 1978, a Marxist coup overthrew the government, and the country was 'in- vaded' by Russian troops in early 1980, Ms. Erb has made an agreement not to make any comments to the press, to prevent any problems for Canadian workers who may be returning to Afghanistan. "The International Assistance Mission, a group of Christian workers ser- ving the people of Afghanistan through medical and rehabilitation programmes. has decided on a temporary withdrawal of all personnel." This is the first public statement released by IAM since the murder on the night of December 30 of IAM workers. Erik and Eeva Barendsen, in their home in Kabul. The motive for the murder is as yet unknown, and the investigation con- tinues. The T3arendsen's two children, Asco, aged 5. and UIIa, aged 3. were also at home at the time but were physically unharmed. They have since found a new home with Eeva's relatives —in Finland. The Barendsens had been members of the IAM since 1972. Erik worked as phar- macist at .the NOOR (National Organization for Ophthalmic Rehabilitation) Eye -Institute in Kabul. The IAM recognized the need of its workers. who were shocked and shaken by the killings, to have a time for recuperation and assess- ment outside the situation and to reassure their families and supporting agencies. A11 22 workers. including Mennonite personnel Richard and Ann Penner, and Carol Erb of Ontario, have left the country and are on stand-by furloughs until further assessments can be made of the situation at the April 7-11 .meeting of the IAM board. The majority of the workers have expressed their willingness to return. It has been two years since the April. 1978 coup brought a Marxist government to power in Afghanistan, and one year since tbe Soviet in- vasion which firmly in - trenched the Soviet presence in that country. An active in- surgency has been threaten- ing the regime since the fall of 1979. The climate has been one of tension. with particular risk for the expatriates in the country. In recognition of its com- mitments to the Afghanistan government. according to protocol. the International Assistance Mission is con- tinuing to provide resources for its projects in Afghanistan. and has en- sured that the work done through the NOOR Eye Institute and the Herat Ophthalmic Ilospital will continue in the absence of its own personnel who have temporarily withdrawn.
