Now businesses in Huron County are complain- ing about unfair competition. .Director of education, John Cochrane, reported to the Huron County Board of Education at its Jan. 10 meeting that he had received two oral complaints on the subject. The complaints were about students selling physical education uniforms, 'sweat suits, etc., and the other about the selling of Christ- mas cake. Mr. Cochrane indicated these were the only complaints this year and he had one complaint about a year ago. The board decided to refer the matter to the executive committee after a motion to file the report was defeated. "I move the report be re- ceived and filed," said Trus- tee Joan Van den Broeck. "I don't think that motion will get' the results the com- plainants are looking for," commented Vice-chairman Eugene Frayne. Mr. Frayne said he would rather see the matter referred to a board commit- tee in consultation with school principals. He said he has heard the complaint before of schools selling goods while merchants have to pay school taxes. In response to a question, Mr. Cochrane indicated the complaints came in the form of telephone calls. It was suggested the complaining Pay -TV launch postponed here J. G. Milligan, president of Country Cable Limited, has informed The Advance - Times that pay -television service will not be available to Wingham viewers by the first week in February, as originally planned. A few of the smaller items of equipment needed to put pay-TV on the cable system are in short supply, and service here will be offered as soon as the equipment arrives from the United States. The pay-TV service will provide programming on a 24-hour basis, approximately 70 per cent of which will be late -run movies with the balance sports and special events. The cost of the service will be $15.89 per month, plus $1.11 tax, for a total of $17. The installation charge will be a once -only $30, which will include the necessary de - scrambling equipment. A $10 deposit on the equipment will be refundable should the customer later move or dis- continue the service. For those families who want to control the types of programs their children can see, a lock -off -attachment and keys will be available as optional equipment. Country Cable said it expects to have pay-TV available to its subscribers within the next few weeks.

Let them ( merchants) go through the complaint procedure," commented Trustee John Jewitt, saying students skould be given en- courageenlfn . Trustee ony McQuail said the whole matter should be referred to a board commit- tee.

We wish all of you a speedy recovery and hope to see you down at the centre very soon. The movie featured last Wednesday was quite suc- cessful. "Ma and Pa Kettle at the Fair" was full of humor and I think the small crowd that attended did enjoy it. The next foot clinic is this Wednesday from 1:30-3:30 p.m. in the Armouries. Taking care of the feet is important because they seem to be a part of the body that are very useful! Walking is a great way to get recreation. At this time, I ask any members of the community if they have travel slides or know of a guest speaker who might be willing to speak to our group. Sometimes it's difficult for senior citizens to get out to meetings and events in the winter, so it really would be appreciated if we could arrange to have special guest speakers in to talk. We still are looking for scraps of calico print material to use for kitchen potpourries. Donations would be appreciated. During the long winter months, it is sometimes lonely and difficult for senior citizens. If you know anyone who might be interested in a social -recreational program, please feel free to phone the centre at 357-1440 or 357-1445. We've heard from a reliable source that „the 50 and over dance that was held last Thursday evening was a success. The next dance is scheduled for Jan. 27. We hope all the dances will continue to be successful. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Miller. Mr. and Mrs. John Wagler, Doug and Raymond are spending a week with their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Elgin Muirhead of Alberta.

County council tours Huron Pioneer Museum Huron County Council studied ° structural problems at the Huron County Pioneer Museum when members toured the closed facility at their January session. Museum Curator Ray Scotchmer said it is the first time council as a whole has toured the museum. Many councillors have toured the museum individually, but with 17 new members, the tour provided the opportun- ity for councillors to familiarize themselves with the building. A quick trip up to the attic enabled councillors to see the two by four and two by six-inch beams holding up Card party held in community hall FORDWICH — A senior citizens card party was held in the Fordwich hall last Friday with nine tables in play. Prize winners were: high lady, Minnie McElwain; high man, Mickey Davidson; lady closest to 47, Annie Pittendreigh; gent closest to 47, Jim Warrell; special, Ellen Kennedy. The next card party is scheduled for Feb. 11 at 8:30 p.m. Gorrie breeder has top boar Paul Karges of RR 2, Gorrie, had the highest - indexing Hampshire boar in a large group of boars from, across Ontario which recently completed test at the ROP Test Station. This test station graduate, with a station index of 126, had extremely low backfat thickness of 9.5 mm (.37 in.) and average daily gain on test of .79 kg (1.74 lbs.). Highest indexing boars in the entire group of 116 were two littermate Yorkshires from the herd of Jack Nethercott of Arkona with indexes of 159 and 141. Top Landrace boars were both from John Boehm of St. Jacobs, with station indexes of 137 and 135. All boars at the swine test station are tested under uniform feeding and management so that those' which have the genetic potential to grow quickly and remain lean can be iden- tified. Those which are superior for these traits have the ability to sire market pigs which will grow rapidly and efficiently and have high market indexes. A total of 39 boars with indexes of 100 or higher (above the group average on overall performance) were approved for physical and structural soundness. They will be offered for sale at the test station in New Hamburg Jan. 27at 1:30p m the tin roof. Custodian Lee Erb pointed out the section of roof which collapsed three winters ago. Researcher Pat Carter and volunteer Cindy Fearnall were also on hand to answer questions. Mr. Scotchmer said the possibility of opening up part of the.. museum in the sum- mer will be investigated by council's property commit- tee. When council reconvened there were questions regard- ing the Huron County Pi- oneer Museum reserve building fund and the status of the museum. Mr. Scotchmer said for the present the museum is closed. If it remains closed for the year, he said, at- tendance will decrease. Tuckersmith Township Reeve Robert Bell asked if council is not getting ahead' of itself by establishing the fund.

Mr. Scotchmer said a full record will be kept of dona- tions and if council decides not to go ahead with rebuild- ing the museum, the money would be given back to the donors. Clerk -treasurer William Hanly said the fund is a good indicator of how much sup- port there is in the county for a museum. He said to date there has only been one donation from a London woman. MRS. ALLAN GRIFFITH-) Wroxeter Deborah Ellen Shore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Shore, was named to the Dean's List by Dr. Joel H.

Exeter holds uncollected school taxes The Huron County Board of Education will have its lawyer speak to the Town of Exeter's lawyer over that town's decision to withold the education portion of Exeter's uncollected taxes. At its Jan. 10 meeting the board agreed to have its law- yer, the legal firm of Don- nelly and Murphy of Goderich, get in touch with Exeter's lawyer. The decision follows receipt of a resolution from Exeter to the board. The resolution is as follows: "That the Board of Educa- tion should bear some of the burden for taxes uncollected due to poor economic condi- tions. Now therefore be it resolved that the Town of Exeter withhold the educa- tion portion of Exeter taxes uncollected as off last due date December 15, 1982 until such times as the Town is able to collect these." Director of education, John Cochrane, said • the lawyers could "sort out the matter". Exeter clerk -treasurer Elizabeth Bell said that as of Dec. 31 the board of educa- tion's portion of the uncol- lected taxes is 837,000. A number of other munici- palities have supported the Exeter resolution. The efficiency of farmers is reflected in our food prices.

The. Commission notes that the London Free Press Printing Com- pany Ltd., publisher, of the London Free Press, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the London Free Press Holdings Ltd. which ,com- 't pany indirectly controls the licensee.

Among the specific issues related to media cross -ownership that the Commission may wish to discuss, are: whether the broadcasting undertaking is effectively owned or controlled by a daily newspaper proprietor: the major circulation area of the daily newspaper; the major market area served by the broadcasting undertaking; whether the major ,circulation area of the daily newspaper substantially en- compasses the major market area served by the broadcasting under- taking; whether failure to renew would be contrary to e public interest conside tim � ons takL, ing into consideration all 'relevant factors including: consequences that would adversely affect service to the public; consequences that would create exceptional or unreasonable hardship to 'the ap- plicant; and the level of existing competition in the area served under the broadcasting license.
