Morris advanced the town-

operating costs, and the
Blyth Centre for the Arts was
granted $150.
Some Christmas trees,

Sept, 1, 1980, and an ad-
ditional one per cent next
January. This amounts to an
annual increase of slightly
over five per cent.
The teachers, however,
are seeking a pay increase of
15 per Cent in the one-year
agreement.
Mr. Stockton admitted the
teachers have some cat-
ching -up to do in relation to
salaries paid by similar and.
neighboring boards, but
suggested it should not allhe
done at once. His recon

teach nor more than six of
eight periods per day. The
teachers want that made a
mandatory position instead
of the current wording that
requires 'a "reasonable •ef-
fort".
The board has argued that
if such a provision were
mandatory, the provision
would increse the number
of staff by five at a cost of
$7,000 or, alternatively,
eliminate some courses.
Mr. Stockton said strict
adherence to the provision
would require hiringatlditional teachers and was an
unreasonable demand. Hesaithe nature of the Huron
County system is such that
some infringement, of the
guidelines is unavoidable.
The parties have agreed to
introduce a staffing formula
used last year and move
away from the straight
pupil -teacher ratioproach. Mr. Stockton saidthe board should 'maintain

He also expressed concern
over thefsize of the teachers'
negotiating committee,
which -included 16 members.
He recommended the
number be cut to half to
facilitate . holding meetings
and shorten caucus time.
The initial proposal
presented by the teachers
asked-for.a 25 per cent salary
increase .over the 1979-80
contract.. That 'increase
applies to thesalary grid and
excludes annualincrements.
The request since hasbeen
reduced'. to 15 per cent excluding'"increment, or 16.8
per cent including .in-crement.
The teachers said they feel
the request is justified by
comparing pay scalesin

Seminar planned .on
farm land buying
Buying a farm is possibly
the largest single financial
transaction of a lifetime for a
farmer and this will be the
topic for a one -day seminar
scheduled for Dec. 8 in
London.
The seminar will bring
together professionals from
North America to talk about
investment, money manage-
ment, land values, inflation,
interest rates, negotiating
techniques, tax implications,
attitudes and the demand for
food land.
The keynote speaker will
be Merrill Oster, president
the Professional Farmers of
America and publisher of a
bi- kly newsletter,
Laner. Mr. Oster gives
similar seminars in the U.S.,
where his involvement in
land buying and the com-
modity markets has won him
national recognition.
Paying less and planning
well in the tax field will be
covered by Ed Arbuckle of
Coopers and Lybrand,
Kitchener, who coauthored
the Tax Guide for the
Canadian Real Estate
Professional and lectures on
farm taxation at the
University of Guelph.
To zero the conference on
Ontario ''conditions, Bill
Muir, a Woodstock area
farmer, will talk about
factors affecting land prices
in the province. Mr. Muir is
president of Wm. A. Muir &
Associates Ltd. and an ac-
credited rural land ap-
praiser.
The seminar is being
sponsored jointly by Broad-
water Farm News and Face
to Face, a subsidiary of
Agripress Canada Limited.
For further information on
registration and fees con-
tact: Face to Face, P.O. Box
