at no cost. to Huron Board
The Huron County Board of
Education meeting in Clinton
Monday approved a request
from a group of adults around
Ethel to build a tennis court on
Board property at Grey Central
Public School.
04,
The, court would be built at
'no cost to the Board at an ex-
pected cost of $1,000. The 36
foot by 78 foot court will be
asphalt covered with a fence at
each end. The group indicated
in the letter to the Board that
by building the court at the
school, it could be used by the
pupils during the day.
The Huron Board will sign
an agreement with the Perth
County Board of Education on
Huron County pupils attending
Listowel District Secondary
School following receipt of a
letter' from K. Self, Director
of Education for the Perth
Board that it will recognize the
right of Perth County pupils
residing in that portion of Hib-
bert Township, that was part,of
the farmer Seafor.th High
School District, to attend the
Seaforth District High School.
Mrs. M. Zinn, Chairman of
the Education Committee,
reported that Trustee Wilfred
Shortreed of Walton had atten-
ded the committee meeting to
report on the Ontario Public
School Trustees Association
conference,, held in Cambridge
June 3. At the conference con,
cern. was expressed by the
trustees attending on the
decision of the Huron County
School Board to ratify a one-
year collective agreement con-
taining an appendix on a pupil -
teacher ratio which agreed that
vocational classes will have 18
to 20 students, while academic
classes will have roughly 35
students each. Until the Huron
decision was made final .two
weeks ago, Ontario school
boards had refused to bargain
with teachers over their
working conditions such as
,pupil -teacher ratio, class size,
number of teaching hours each
school day, selection of
teachers, teaching methods or
course content. This had been
..onsidered the prerogative of
management.
At tie Press conference
following ., the meeting, Cayley
Hill, chairman of the Board, in-
dicated the trustees and the
press at the conference had
over -re -acted. He said he had
sent a letter of explanation to
the Trustees Association and to
the editor of the Goderich
Signal Star:
He said the Board had not
negotiated away . any
prerogatives and that there was
no monetary value to the pupil •
-
teacher ratio. He stated the
Board had developed a better
rapport with the teachers.
The two members of the
press at the meeting questioned
The symbol
of friendship
Mr. Hill as to why they were
not informed of this clause in
the agreement when they were
given the • report the salary
negotiations with the secondary
school teachers had been
ratified at the May meeting of
the Board. To this Mr. Hill
replied that perhaps it would
have been better if this had
been done. He said that as
other school boards in the area
were still negotiating with their
teachers, the Huron Board did
not want to influence them.
The Board approved in prin-
ciple the recommendation from
the Education Committee that
the request for increased
secretarial help in the elemen-
tary schools be referred to the
Management Committee for
budgetary consideration. In
turn the Management commit-
tee's recommendation was ap-
proved that this request for in-
creased secretarial assistance
from the elementary principals'
and vice -principals' association
be referred to the ad-
ministrative staff for further
study.
Other recommendations from
the Education committee that
were approved by the Board
are as follows: That composite
advertisements listing courses
of each centre be placed in all
Huron County weekly
newspapers; that fees for 1973-
74 be set at $12. for a 20
session course, $7. for a 10
session course and $5. for cour-
ses of fewer than 10 sessions;
that salaries for night school
instructors be $10 per hour;
that salaries for night school
principals be the same as last
year and that the starting (ILO
of the 1973-74 classes be the
week of October 15; and that
the night- school principals for
1973-74 be Richard Whiteley at
Central Huron Secondary
School; Edward Beard at F.E.
Madill Secondary School and
William Wark at Goderich
District Collegiate Institute.
The Board approved com-
pulsory Tuberculin tests and/or
chest x-rays for all employees
of the Board.
The Board approved the
,recommendation' approving the
principle of developing
students' interest,. knowledge
and participation in
recreation -type activities and
that provision be made for use
of the necessary facilities
through budget allocation and
/or local arrangents. Some of
the activities recommended are
golf, curling, skiing, archery,
canoeing, sailing, bowling, ten-
nis, snowshoeing, etc.
The Board approved two
field trips; One from Stephen
„Central Public School to Camp
Sylvan for 40-45 Grade 8
students on September 12 to
September 14, 1973", inclusive;
and the other from Huron Cen-
tennial School to Camp Sylvan
for 64 Grade 8 students on Sep-
tember 17 to September 19,
41973, inclusive.

Christian Farmers disagree with F of A
"Gordon Hill, President of
the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture, does not speak for
all farmers in Ontario when he
insists that farmers must be
compensated for their loss of
development rights when the
Provincial Government locks
their land into agriculture,"
says Martin Verkuyl, President
of the Christian Farmers
Federation of Ontario.
Mr. Verkuyl, a Woodstock
area corn grower and pork
producer, was reacting -to- news --
reports alleging that the On-
tario Federation of Agriculture,
will oppose new provincial
legislation designed to zone
some rural lands for
agriculture unless the acts are
amended tp include compen-
sation for those farmers who
lose development -- rights on__
their property.
"The government is right in
refusing to compensate land-
owners for overnight drops in
speculative property value
when land uses are changed,"
says Mr. Verkuyl. "Develop-
ment rights owned by us far;.
mers - as part-time speculators
- are the same as those owned
by full-time speculators adver-
sely affected by the legislation?,
To be consistent we -would have
to.
Asked for his reaction to the
news reports, Elbert van
Donkersgoed, secretary -
manager of the Ch ' tian Far-
mers 'Federation f Ontario
says, It will be most unfor-
tunate for agriculture if the
OFA joins the speculator lob-
bies in opposing this legislation
and trying to keep these initial
steps in land use planning as
small as possible."

Christian Farmers Federation
are pleased with the new steps
in planning even though the
Parkway Belt Act and the
Niagara Escarpment Planning
and Development Act are but a
baby -step of what needs to be
done all across the province.
Agriculture needs to be protec-
ted from the influence of
speculators everywhere. Now
that they cannot operate near
Toronto they will just find
another area in which to play
--their game.- We--need--a- com-
prehensive program of land use
planning for all prime
agricultuyaj lands in the
province.
Asked why the C.F.F.
disagrees with the OFA about
compensation Mr. Van Donker-
sgoed quotes from the C.F.F.'s
policy statement on- land use.
planning in Ontario:
`The C.F.F. believes that no
compensation should be paid to
a speculator for a los, , ,That he
suffers as a result of the
rezoning. of his property by a1
government. Windfall gains
a'nd losses are a part of
speculation. Society has . no
responsibility to reimburse him
for his loss just as it has no
claim on his windfall gain.'
"This," says Mr. van
Donkersgoed, "applies to the
farmer -speculator as well as
the full-time speculator."
"There is a second reason,"
he adds, "why Christian far-
mers find the OFA position
unacceptable. For too long far-
mers in Ontario have - been
dependent on sources outside of
the returns on products
produced on the farm for an
adequate_- incorne -To ask for -
compensation for loss of
speculation rights it to ask for a
continuation of this policy. A
farm family should receive a
fair income from farming and
not be dependent on all kinds
of 'government programs`for a
standard of l.ving compareto
to the rest of- sodtty. Ifs tie
government gives in to the
request for _compensation what
chance will we have of getting a
fair return fir our produce?"
' It is unfortunate that On-
tario's general -farm
organizations do not agree on
this issue,",concluded. Nor-
mally the C.F.F. is not keen on
making- -differenc-es--of---opinion--
among farmers so public. But
in this case where the pocket
book and the hank balance are
rated so much more important
