olic Separate School Board at a
meeting in Seaforth last Monday
night gave approval for replacing

St. Joseph, at a cost of $9696.
The firm of Fentiman Windows

of the inspection made at the
school.
Other additional repair work is
to be done by local tradesmen
for approximately $2000. This
includes new counter tops, shelves
and other repairs.
Mr. Parsons reported on the
inspection by his firm of the roofs
at St. Aloysius School, Stratford,
and St. James School, Seaforth.
He was instructed to call for
tenders on repairing these roofs
and the building committee of
the board authorized to accept
the lowest of three tenders.
Kyles, Kyles and Garratt are
to make an inspection of roofs
at St. Boniface School, Stratford
and of St. Patricks School in
Dublin.
The board spent a brief time
continuing the review of the by-
laws. This is in preparation for
drawing up a revised set of by-
laws for the board in booklet
fore. Ten are completed to date.
A committee of Trustees, Mich-
ael Connolly, R,R.3, Kippen;
Francis Hicknell, R, R. 5, Seaforth
and Joseph Looby, Dublin, was
named to contact R, S, Box re-
garding improvements to parking
lot at Doard offices.
The decision to erect a fence
between Central United Church
in Stratford and St. Aloysius
School is to be dropped as the
church is not interested in sharing
the cost.
The board instructed the Sup-
erintendent of Education, John
Vintar, to rent six portable class-
rooms, of a type he considers
most satisfactory. He is to ar-
range to have them ready for
school opening in September 1970.
The portables are to be located
in several locations: one at St.
Patricks' School at Kinkora; three
at St. James School in Seaforth;
one at St. Joseph's School in
Clinton, and one at St, Boniface
School in Zurich. A portable is
being considered for the St.
Joseph's School at Kingsbridge.
Mr. Vintar presented a list of
new appointments of principals
and teachers for the approval of
the Board. It includes six princ-
ipals, seventeen teachers, two
remedial teachers and one relig-
ious education consultant.
Trustee James Morris of Strat-
ford led a discussion on rules and
regulations for custodians. A
further study on these and the
salary schedule is to be made at
a special meeting. The board
gave approval for Property Com-
mittee to offer for sale the Sep-
arate School in Egniondville with
occupancy after June 30.
One can never pay in gratitude;
one can only pay "in kind"
somewhere else in life.

Farm Union Joins
Federation Plan
The decision of the Ontario
members of the National Farmers'
Union to join the Ontario Feder-
ation of Agriculture members in
the fight for a fairer tax system
was welcomed by OFA President,
Gordon Hill. The Ontario Fed-
eration of Agriculture has been
telling the Ontario government
that the farmers were united on
this issue and have been receiv-
ing a great deal of support from
Farmers' Union members in the
fight to ease the heavy tax burd-
en.
The main difference between
the position of the OFA and the
NFU is that the Federation mem -
bers are taking their stand against
the education tax load, and are
urging farmers to withhold the •
education portion of their taxes
only. The NFU have apparently
decided to urge their members
to withhold all municipal and
education taxes.
"We are not blaming or cond-
emning municipal councillors"
said Gordon Hill, "they are ad-
ministering the local municipal
services as economically as
possible. We do not feel that
farmers should withhold taxes
from the municipal councils. But,
that is up to each farmer. We
are confident that the vast maj-
ority of farmers will back the
action to withhold education taxes
We are pleased that the Farmers'
Union members have joined the
fight."
The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture have been arguing
for a system of taxing for educ-
ation which should be based on
the ability- to -pay.
