What a time to cut the budget? It
appears to many- in Huron County
that the provincial government
has forced us into an impossible
situation where_ spending must go
up because ' of govern ri•ent
impositions -and . at the same
time, revenue collections must go
down, also because of government.

Some educators in Huron—
most notably D.J,. Cochrane',
director of education—calls

- the "Great Ontario Myth".
Treasurer Darcy McKeough,
• however,. put it another way,
He,..said, "Our objective is the
continuing- ekpansion of the.
economy and , a substantial
improvement " in the
unemployment situation."
Indications are *at the time. of
writing' (Monday,., April 3—
morning)that the budgets for the
Huron County schools will be
drastically cut for this year. The
rea,son? The provincial
government's restraints on
spending. '
I'm not surprised, though, and I
,doubt that anyone else is
surprised by the announcement
that the Ontario government is
cutting back in many areas. It had

county have been realistic.
Though Prime Minister Bill
Davis (formerly minister of
education) promised equality of
education province -wide and. set
about to provide it, the
educational officials of, Huron
County spent wisely and
carefully attempting to provide
the best in education at the least
amount of. dollars.
At the same time, some• other
jurisdictions " in Ontario were
spending like crazy on things
educational—and it, now turns lout
that the government scems to be
rewarding the big -spenders and
punishing the economy -minded.
What's happening, you see, is
that the provincial government is
imposing ceilings On,educational
spending. These,- celings are
based on last year's spending.
Thus it is that Huron's ceiling is
much, much lower than the
ceilings in other municipalities:
where the spending has beedmuch•
freer.
In addition,,the government is
offering a lower -increase in' the
per student grant this years Add to
• this the fact that the enrolment 'in
Huron is down this year, you have
the"makings of a Crisis situation
which some educators have
prophesied wall part Huron back t b:
the level it was before county
boards carne f,nto effect.
All this would ndt.seem 'sb bad if
#t was not that the „ provincial
go'v'ernment was also, imposing,
added costs on educatidn. For
instance, teachers must be better

precipitous fiscal 'actions that

Credit conditions. •

The Treasurer indicated that
although he did not anticipate a
quick end to the 'problem of
unemployment, he expected the
situation to improve steadily. At
the beginning of this year, the
Ontario labor- force, seasonally
adjusted, was. up five" percent
from last year.
•.McKeough also pointed out that
new jobs require capital
investment. -
"When governments were hit
by the tidal wave of the post-war
baby boom," he said, ``they were
obliged to step up dramatically
'their' capital investment in
education facilities. Now that
-these.young people'rieed jobs and
housing, fiscal and monetary
policies, should _ recognize • this
demographic and economic fact."
McKeough also noted . that
investments in educational
facilities will be down by $53
million while loans for public
housing -.and environment will be
up by $29 million. ,
At the same time, provincial
expenditures forecast $47 million
for new grants to school' boards
bring the total provincial share of
school board spending to 58
percent!
Our Beef? The dispensation of
that $47 7inillior) in new grants.
Should the 'have-not" areas of
the province,' not be endowed with '
increased spending power • while'
the "have" districts - are
estricted? ,We wonder.
