Huron Federation Asks For Limit
On Amount of Welfare Payment
Huron Federation of Agricult-
ure called Thursday night for a
limit on welfare payments equal
to the minimum wage require-
ments.
The motion was introduced
by Mervin Smith at the June
meeting of the Federation held
at the board rooms of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture in Clinton,
Mr. Smith said that a man witl
a wife and two children who was
receiving welfare had a greater
income than the same man would
if he was working at the minim-
um wage. He felt this was un-
fair to the working man.
The federation also said, it's
support of the Huron County
Board of Education in its negot-
iations with the Ontario Second-
ary School Teachers' Federation
with a motion supporting the
board.
The majority of the second-
ary school teachers in the county

resigned on May 31 but have
continued their negotiations
with the Huron Board. The res-
ignations will take effect on
August 31 if no agreement is
reached before that date.
Following the mass resignat-
ions, the OSSTF "Pink -listed"
the board, meaning that teachers
can sign a contract with the
board if they wish but will be
"frowned upon" by their coil- •
eagues if they do.
Last week the board of educ-
ation purchased half -page adv-
ertisements in county newspapers
to explain its position.
Jerry Crowder, the Huron
Counsellor for ARDA was at the
meeting to explain changes in
the ARDA program and to ans-
wer any questions that arose.
Also present was Darwin Lan -
vin of the Pollution and Pestic-
ides Committee of the Perth
County Federation of Agricult-
ure who informed the members
of pollution problems in Perth
County and proposed a meeting
with the Huron Federation.
It was decided that meetings
will continue throughout the
summer, but at different locat-
ions in the county on an exper-
imental basis. The July meeting
will be held at East Wawanosh
Public School, Belgrave on July
2 and the August meeting 't
Hensall Public School on August
5.

Used to be that if you bought
a ventilation fan for a hog barn,
you had to pay the five per cent
sales tax. But not now. An Ont-

recommendation to the Ontario
government was accepted, and
now ventilation fans are tax-
exempt for farm use.
