The budget which the. corniniitee presented to Towrt' Council Friday ight calls for 'expenditure of 28,500., including $3,500 to -cover he deficit rolled up- last year. Grants Sought ' To pay for this year's program, the committee expects it will need grants of $3,500 from the Province and $17,000 from the town. The amount requested from the .town is roughly equivalent to three mills on the tax rate. Reeve Jame,s Donnelly, finance chairman, said that, he feels the townspeople are prepared to pay. two mills for recreation, and, in 'fact, they have been paying that much or rriore. - Cottrieillor-W-.- A: -TiPPle- suggest ed that ".the main_ function of the arena committee should be to do something about this deficit, which is constantly increasing."' Expressing , similar thoughts, Reeve Donnelly said that if the committee cannot cut expenses and ir these expenses continue to rise, then "the only alternative is to, find increased revenue." The cost of repairs, to 'the arena, floor did not' appear in the coin- , year.' Presumably, it is planned to charge this project to public works. tNew drainage tile were laid ander the floor at a cost, of. Around $5,000.) . Goderich Recreatibn and Arena Committee was represented at the meeting by Chairman Gordon Ban- dister, W. A. Skinner and Secre- tary -Treasurer J. G. Berry.

Its proposed budget will be con- sidered' when Council meets to Strike the 1958 tax rate "probably within a menth's -time."

Mr. Berry s beerireceiying .sigo a year for his services Since insurance rates have gone up 15 percent, insurance premiums are eipected to take $3,000 this year compared to $2,687 in 1957. The committee is eligible for provincial grants totalling about $3,500 this year, but should 'receive $4,200 frqm the Province next year, said Mr._ Berry. In reply to questions, Mr. Ban- nister said that the wading pool at Judith Gooderham Park will have,to be patched again this year. Mr. Berry said the'committee felt that the town, as owner, should take over insurance matters. He thought that better service and better rates could be obtained if one agent or -broker looked -after everything. Figure Skating Due to a,, misunderstanding, said Mr. Berry, there has been no time taken by the figure skating, club. this- year at the arena. He said that dates had been given to a member of the club's executive but this person had not informed other members -of the executive. As a result, certain necessary arrangements were not made. The : • " • • '1, PUC bill for the arena -amounted to $3,279.09. Total expenses were $26,855.84. 'Mr -Berry °explained that 'last year's , maintenance expenses in- cluded $3,207.14 paid to the.

Threatened y -PC Policy a-- Cochrane (Signal -Star Staff) PORTER'S HILL, March 10. Huron County farmers are in danger- of having their incomes reduced as a result of unfavorable United States reaction to the Diefenbaker Government's trade policy,' Liberal candidate' W. G. (Bill) Cochrane warned at a rally in Porter's' Hill School Monday night. • The Progressive Conservatives am plugging for mo'ret^ Common- wealth trade, said Mr. Cochrane, but farmers should knbw that there is a difference of seven cents, per pound between the price the U.S. market pays for Canadian beef cattle and the price the U.K., can afford to pay. , There is a similar difference in the price of hogs, stated the 43- year-old Exeter lawyer. The Diefenbaker Government -has already offended Canada's best ,customer, he asserted, with the result that the U.S. has restricted the import of -Canadian oil. 'Referring to the seven -cent dif- ference - between U.K. and U.S. offers for Canadian beef, Mr. Coch- rane said: "I imagine that no one dealing in livestock Would be in- terested in losing that money." Liberal Policy He continued: "The Liberal policy has always been to deal with as many markets as possible, and on a sound basis." The Liberals plan- to work out the best possible system of price supports for farm products, said Mr. Cochrane. The party has plans to organize a Farm Development Bank, which would make capital available to farm people at lower interest rates and on more favor- able repayment terms. ' He criticized the Progressive Conservatives for calling an "un- necessary" election at a time when the Government should be taking action to help solve the growing unemployment problem. The Liberal candidate was intro- duced by Hugh Hawkins, of Clin- ton, who heads the party organiz- ation for the federal' riding of Huron. Mr. Hawkins said that Elston Cardiff, the PC candidate, is nearing 70, has been drawing an MP's salary'for-18 years "and I think the best thing Huron can do is pension the man off." 1:4enson. Tuckey, of Exeter, pre- sident of the Liberal Association for the provincial ...riding, stated that John Diefenbaker promised before the last election that .he would save $500,000,000 by elim- inating waste rat Ottawa. When Mr. Diefenbaker got into power, he could not ,find any place- where the Liberals had been spending in -a----reckless-- -manner, - TuckeY. • ,o In other remarks, Mr. Tuckey said that there will be a provincial election before long. James Stirling, a member of the audience, spoke by popular de- mand. Referring to Mr. Diefen- baker, Mr. Stirling 'commented: "He's a one-mah government; that won't do. any good to -any of us." Jim Taylor, : of Hensall called attention to a Young Liberals' rally which is to.. be' held in. Hensall tonight. W.

WILL BUILD ENTRANCE GATE TO MARK 100th ANNIVERSARY OF DUNGANNON'S FALL FAIR (By Mrs. L. Stingel) DUNGANNON, 'March 10. At the annual meeting of the Pub- gannon Agricultural Society on Thursday evening, a large and en- thusiastic audience heard plans made for the erection of an im- pressive gate at the entrance to the fair grounds to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the fair next fall. A committee was appointed' to look after this special project,as well as other details. It consists of the executive, Mel Dickson, ,Ralph Godfrey and Harvey. Alton, ,and also Gordon Saunders and Rosa Eedy. The advisability- of adding,in- door exhibits other than school crafts was discussed. The marked interest in the baby contest, sponsored .by Frank Pent- land, was- pointed out. It was felt that this -was a popular event since it practically filled the ball last fall. Arrangements were made to buy a first aid kit. The president, Mel Dickson, made a review of the year's ac- complishments. He thanked all for their co-operation, especially those, itho acted in an official Mil:F411•Yse- who helped with the dances.

It is becoming more difficult to „.. draw people to the arena, said Mr. • Bannister. Mr. Berry said that the Seaforth arena booked the Mart 'Kenny Show but lost $600 an it. - Mr. Bannister said that he only knows of one arena -the arena at' Guelph—which isn't in the red. The committee plans to increase activities this summer by organiz- ing lacrosse and field meets, said Mr. -Bannister. Councillor May Mooney asked: 'What does it cost per day to have a sheet of ice in the arena?" - , Mr. Berry replied that the -arena _ needs to get about $10 per hour in order to meet expenses. It is apparent, that the arena facilities are being used for a gospel ,many non-profit activities, noted Reeve Donnelly. ' Curling Club It was disclosed that the curling club, pays the arena $400 for the • season. In addition, the arena ob- tains a $2,00 grant from the Pro- vince in connection with curling. Some members of the arena corn- mittee indicated that they do 'ht regard this as a paying proposition, but Councillor Joe Allaire—himself ii-nrdent- curler—could not agree- - with them. At Owen Sound, the figure skat- ing club pays the arena $13 an hour, said Mr. 'Berry. If that rate was charged here, the local figure skating club and curling club would fold up, he asserted. Councillor Mooney ,said she would not like to see rates increas- ed as such a move might put the arena facilities out of reach of some families. Reeve. Donnelly said he felt the -- committee has been doing a good job in- providing recreation, but he wondered if it was not also the committee's function to .find ways - to increase revtnue.
