He noted that there was, no assistance evi- dent there for beef and hog producers, and he chided the government for not taking more decisive action. '...although I have spoken at length about the vitality of the area, I have recently just prior to and during the election found that our agri- cultural community, our agribusiness community in Huron -Bruce, has been stymied by, high input costs, by high interest costs, and by and large they have received very little help. "I have with me here numerous letters from con- stituents of mine which plead for assistance from• this government and we have received no help, no assistance whatsoever from the Ministry of Agriculture. "We have individuals here who have written to me, who have requested that some assistance be given to them along the same lines that it has been given to the far- mers of Quebec, some pro- grams be instituted along the lines of those that have been instituted by other provinces to help deal with the high cost of interest, and by and large our appeal in the form of requests for a debate, in the form of requests for the. Ministry of Agriculture to forge ahead to help our people, have gone unheeded." Mr. Elston went on to note: "The people in my Riding have 'fears that as they are going out of business while the people in other pro- vinces, notably Quebec, are being sustained by govern- ment assistance, we are going to lose the markets we have held for so long and for which we have produced cheap and high quality food stuff. The farmers in Huron- Bruce...are efficient people...and don't deserve to be left in the lurch." Can FBDB hel you .

Howick Council's 1981 budget, handed down last week, will hit ratepayers with an average over-all tax increase of 14.48 per cent, including 16.07 per cent hikes in the Board of Education levy and 19.08 per cent for the Huron County levy. Howick Township's increase was held to 1.4 per cent. As a result the mill rate remains the same as it has for the past three years. Much of the 19.08 per cent county increase is due to "equalization factors," according to Township Clerk -Treasurer Wesley Ball. "Council has endeavored to restrain its imposition on ratepayers," Mr. Ball said. "Yet they're making sure they haven't decreased the quality of their service, despite budget assessments that are up only one percent. Huron County Board of Education is responsible for the • biggest chunk, requisitioning a total of $442,409, 58 per cent of the entire $762,634 budget, up from last year's $666,197. Elementary schools are in for the biggest portion at $245,406, or almost. 24 per cent, while secondary schools must make do with less than nine per cent at $197,003. Separate schools' take is negligible. The entire school budget is up almost $64,000. By upping its requisition 14.48 per cent, Howick Township will be receiving an additional $57 from each residential taxpayer with an average assessment off $3,500. Farm taxpayers, with an average assessment of $7,000 ,will be shelling . out $114 more than they did last year.

"I think it's one of the best budgets we've had since I've been here," he said. "It's not a do-nothing budget." Much of Howick's share has been directed into a road budget of $448,370, of which $59,000 will be used for the replacement of a bridge on the Sixth Concession west of Fordwich. The road budget, up from $376,000 last year, is supplemented by provincial grants. Howick's mill rate now stands at 39.683 mills for residential areas, and 46.686 mills in commercial areas, both minimal increases. However, a 10 -mill increase is being felt in Huron County's levy — a 4.661 -mill leap in residential regions (up to 26.115 mills total) and a 5.483 -mill increase for commercial- residents, making for a total of 30.783 mills. Elementary school sup- porters will find 9.077 -mill (residential) and 10.678 -mill (commercial) jumps, ' while the levy for secondary schools is only 2.96 mills (residential) and 3.022 mills (commercial) . Taxpayers can expect their notices to be forwarded by the end of May, with the first assessment due June 15r and the second required Nov. Clerk Ball notes that while education now accounts for. 58.01 per cent of the total tax requisition, general municipal needs account for 25.30 per cent, and county iota is hereby,giv.sn that tho Annual, l►ll0ttI c Th..Wingham rind lstr t lgs,�altal Cor'pot stio wtft b+ „fift d of the .0/4 0r>'ing ,A Sftilt'tont .

But, unlike most 17- year-olds, Murray con- centrates on gourmet dishes rather than the usual fast food fare. Murray, a Grade 12 student at the F: E. Madill Secondary School, has known since he was 12 years old that he wanted to be a chef. He grew up on a farm near Lucknow and comes from a family of four boys. When he was quite yod'ng he realized his mother needed assistance with the household chores and so he started to help with the cooking. , Murray's interest in cooking has paid off. For the past year he has been per- fecting his skills at the Betimiller inn and recent''• has accepted a position with The Feedlot Restaurant in Kincardine. Last Friday he prepared a dinner for members of the guidance department at the high school. The dinner was held at the home • of Jack Kopas on Minnie Street and 11 teddhers attended. Included on the menu were: cream of celery soup or French onion soup, Caesar salad, steak au poivre or fresh river trout meunierre or sauteed 'pork loin, and for dessert, baked Alaska. Murray said the major difference between a chef and a cook is that chefs use their hands and cooks use machines. He added that when people initially find out that he wants to be a chef they are surprised, but they gradually realize that it replly is a male oriented and dominated trade. He plans to enter a three- year apprenticeship program this fall whereby he will work at the Feedlot from January to September and attend a special school for chefs for the remainder of the year. Histultimate goal is to work as a chef on a cruise ship., Murray really does love to cook. He said he would be happy to prepare a dinner for anyone who is interested, provided it be arranged. Bon appetit. MURRAY GILCHRIST, a Grade 12 student at the E. Madill Secondary School prepared a dinner members of'fhe high school guidance department Friday evening at the home of Jack Kopas. Murray hopes to one day be a chef on a cruise ship.
