John Vintar, superintendent of education, remarked on how well the older sections of both schools were fitted into the newly constructed additions. He said he was pleased with the schools and that many favourable remarks were being made by those who visited the schools, as well as the staff and the students.

Mr. Vintar said the effect on the Board would not be ad- verse and Jack Lane, business Huron County farmers not entirely happy about gov't.measure Huron county farmers ex- pressed dissatisfaction last Thursday night with the gover- nment's plans to ease the high cost ,of foods as they attended the September meeting of the Huron County Federation .of Agriculture, Clinton. The government moved last week to give new subsidies on milk and wheat to keep costs of milk and bread down. Farmers saw the moves as a virtual freeze on farm prices since the subsidies on milk, for instance, were available only to provin- cial marketing' boards that promised to hold down the cost of milk to its present level for at least a year. "If we're going to work on a • supply and demand situation how can you tinker with it all the time" said Mervin Smith, a Walton -area farmer. Mr. Smith who had attended the opening of the new United Co- operatives of Ontario headquarters in Weston the same day, said he had been talking to some big farm administrator, said that at the moment it appears a very reasonable ceiling for 1974.
