thjob of regulating the
reading materials used in
the classroom belonged to
the Huron County Board of
Education and not members
of council.
Council voted to take no
action on a letter from the St.
Hensall backs
Huron board
Members of Hensall
council voted unanimously
Monday night to back the
Huron County Board of
Education in their dispute
with the secondary school
teachers.
Council at first moved to
file the resolution from the
Township of Turnberry as
they felt the issue would be
resolved when teachers
voted on the tentative
agreement Wednesday.
Councillor Paul Neilands
felt council should pass the
resolution supporting the
board even if it wouldn't
have any effect.
"I think the school board
should run.the school system
and not the teachers," he
said.
The same resolution
backing the board of
education has been passed
unanimously by Huron
County council and most
area councils.

Joseph's Catholic Women's
League calling for the
condemnation of several
books used in the county. The
letter included excerpts
from the books which the
league labelled as por-
nographic.
"We are all aware of the
problem of pornography in
the movies, T.V., magazines,
etc. However, we feel the
vast majority of parents are
unaware there is a problem
in our own high schools," the
letter read.
"Unless we, the parents,
voice our objections to the
school board, teachers,
MPPs etc. concerning
material used in schools, this
serious problem can only
accelerate," the league
wrote.
Several councillors said
the type of books mentioned
in the letter were not in use
when they were in school.
"I'm not a lawyer and I'm
not a school teacher, but I
know that this is por-
nography," said Reeve
Harold Knight after he read
the excerpts.
Councillor Bev Bonthron
said the excerpts in the letter
may be the only explicit
references in the whole book
and that the rest of the book
may have educationalvalue.
"I'll say this stuff is
educational. I guess I'm just
a little old fashioned," said
Knight,
Councillor Paul Neilands
said the matter should be
decided by the Board of
Education and not Hensall

while the retailers and
wholesalers of food can
reduce their payments to
farmers.
According to Hannam
"Consumers have had one
whale of a bargain (on food)
and they still have."
One of the Federation's
new moves into getting the
farmer's position across has
received a "great response,"
the Guelph area cash crop
farmer said.
A Farmer's Price Index
has been devised by the
Federation to help the
consumer better understand
the position which the
modern farmer finds himself
in. In the farmers index, food
is broken into imported and
non -imported categories.
Hannam said that
domestically grown food
prices have been constant
while imported food prices
have gone up considerably.
Another important role for
the Federation is that of a
watchdog on governments
and their agencies,
Hannam cited the Farm
Products Marketing Act as
an area where Federation
lobbying had had a positive
effect.
On the provincial front, the
proposed occupational
health safety bill which has
passed second reading in the
house was the cause of some
consternation on behalf of
Hannam.
The bill as constituted
Hannam said would cause
severe hardships on farming
community if it was passed.
Calling some of proposed
regulations "utter non.
sense" Hannam stated,
council. The rest of council
agreed and the letter was
filed.
"There will be a riot in rural
Ontario if this bill is not
changed."
In a question and answer
period Hannam said that his
group was solidly opposed to
the establishment of hydro
generating plants in
agricultural areas and have
maintained this position for
three years.
A Federation brief will be
submitted to the Porter
Commission stating that
stand.
The Federation leader, in
a reply to another question
said that the OFA is firmly
opposed to specific areas of
property tax reform that
were mentioned in a
provincial white paper back
in January.
McKeough has accepted
many of the suggestions
which the OFA has put
forward but Hannam said
that the farmer's want all of
its proposals implemented.

taxes for Hensall would be
$54,285, amounting to a little
over two percent of the
county budget. Last year
Hensall paid $48,376.
The building inspector's
report showed one building
permit had been issued. The
permit, for the value of
$87,846 is for the new fire hall
in Hensall.
Bill Baker was hired by
council to brick in the two
doorways at the west side of
the townhall.

e sure your child is i
against disease.
This is what
Ontario is d�
help you.
Over 25% of our children have
not been immunized by the time they
enter school. That's not only
surprising, it's dangerous — because
there has been an increase of
diphtheria, whooping cough and
measles in recent months.
The Ontario Ministry of Health
provides vaccines to immunize
children against diphtheria, polio,
whooping cough, tetanus, measles,
mumps and rubella (German measles).
Your Ontario Health Insurance
Plan (OHIP) pays a fee to the
ed
doctor for administering them.
Immunization can save lives and
is quick and easy.
It's up to you — to make sure that
your children are protected. Take them
to your family physician now, or have
them immunized by your local
health unit.
A free pamphlet with a chart
showing which diseases your child
should be immunized against, and at
what ages, is available now.

pamphlet "Immunization is Your
Responsibility" to:
