Board Chairman IIerh 'I'urkheim acknowledged 'Tuesday That the 13 -point plan was discussed at a closed meeting of the board on Monday night. Already the board has ordered principals to chop their 197(1 budgets by 10 per cent from Iasi year's levels. In addition all equipment acquisitions for schools have been Protea. "While I don't expect the hoard to accept all these measures we're consider- ing," Mr.'I'urkhcinl said. "a large number will be seriously considered in tun attellipt to reduce the education mill rate increase as much as possible in the light of recent provincial government cutbacks." Preliminary figures indicate that without the- cost-cutting program, the levy to nuuticipalitics, to finance the board would increase 45 to 50 per cent, Ile said. If the cost-cutting pleasures are adopted, the increase could be chopped to about half that amount, he said. The board's budget committee, chaired by trustee John Elliott of Blyth, is studying the plan, major components of which are: •An examination of enrolments compar- ed to a%ailahlc pupil places %%1111 a view Io recommending closure of rooms within schools or the closure' or entire selwois. • A study ol. 1 he costs of education in Huron County with the possibility that staff may he reduced or I'ree,es plaeed un salaries • to apply at the hoard's Clinton offices as well as in schools.

Mr. 'I'urkheinl said the meeting was closed because ()I' discussion of personnel platters but the remainder of board meetings to consider the 197(1 budget will be open. The board chairman said trustees arc "deeply concerned" about reducing school expenditures and arc working to keep increases in educational levies to a minimum, %yell, ending up with lour wins and one loss for the day. They easily defeated teams from Clinton and 1lolin%svillc. but had to play the full three games against Ilurun Centennial and Seaforlh before winning the series. 'I'Ite last series of the day was against Ilullett Public School, and after winning the first game. the girls gave in to tiredness, and lost the nest two games to the powerful Mullett team. This left three teams: Blyth, TiulIeti and Huron Centennial, tied with four series wins and one loss, but Huron Centennial was awarded the trophy because of least games lost. Congratulations to all the players from Blyth Public School for their excellent effort, and also to Mr. Tremeer, Mrs. Battve and Mrs. Patterson who helped in coaching the teams.

The Blyth Centennial Committee met Tuesday night to get plans started for the big bash and decided un those dates for 1ht big homecoming weekend.

He also said that village council had agreed to loan money to the centennial committee to help get the project off the ground. It was generally agreed that as far as possible, centennial souvenirs should be of local origin as much as possible. With some of the local businesses involved, it was felt, there need not be many "made in Japan" nnonlentoes of the Blyth centennial. One of the major problems will be finding the names of former residents and their addresses in order to send out invitations for the event. Co-operation of everyone will be needed in this to make the centennial a success, The next meeting of the centennial committee was set for April 13 at 8:00 p.m. when all committee chairmen will report on the activities of their committees. Tickets still available for Horsburgh Scandal Theatre Passe Muraille's Horsburgh Scandal will appear two nights next week at Memorial Hall, Blyth and tickets arc still available. The play, about the life of Rev. Russell Horsburgh, stars well-known Canadian actor Don Harron in the title role. Many familiar faces such as David Fox and Padul Johns from former Passe Muraille shows like The Farm Show and The West Show will also take part. Proceeds from the show will go toward the renovations to Memorial Hall and toward the upcoming season of the Blyth Summer Festival. A spokesman for the Blyth Centre for the Arts said that it is hoped there will be capacity audiences on both nights because the cost of bringing such a show to Blyth is heavy and capacity audiences are needed in order to make money to help with the Hall. Those attending the performance will have a chance to sec at least some of the changes in the building. All hand railings leading to the theatre have been laboriously stripped of the old finish and refinished. The archway around the stage has also been refinished as has all the woodwork across the front of the hall. The old orchestra pit has been reopened and a new protective railing placed around it. The stage floor has been recovered and the stage background painted black. New lighting bars have been hung to allow for greater variety in lighting effects. The walls will have at least a first coat of the new paint by Monday. Immediately following the closing of the show, the seats will be removed and refinished and the floors will be sanded. The project is right on schedule for early April completion. Tickets for the show are available at The Standard or Village Restaurant, PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 18, 1976. North Huron Credit Union assets top half a million The North Huron Credit Union topped the half -a -million mark in total assets in 1975, almost doubling the 1974 figure of $300,000. This was part of the report presented to over 70 members and guests at the second annual meeting of the union, February 6 in Belgrave. Trcasurcr•manager George Michie told members that "busi- ness has been very good all year" and forecast reaching the first million in 1976. He also reported 81 new members for a total of 594 with an average share balance of $392,52. Over $430,000 was extended in loans, and the union was forced to borrow over $100;000 from League Central to offset the loans. A balance of $96,000 still remains to be repaid. Bill Stevenson, president of the board of directors, reported that the interest rate on deposit accounts increased from eight per cent in March to nine per cent by the year's encl. He recommended that an eight per cent dividend be paid members for the year. Elections were held during the meeting to elect new members to the board and the committees, Elected for a three-year term were: directors - Archie Purdon, John Taylor and Richard Cam• peau; credit committee, Albert Rieman; supervisory committee, Lloyd Casemorc. Rev, A. J. Nolan of the Wingham Sacred Heart Church was the special guest speaker at the meeting. He spoke briefly on the spirit of brotherhood and co-operation fostered by credit unions, "I have seen them perform miracles," he said, He urged the union to strive for a larger membership and more support from the community and praised it for the example of neighborly love it provided, Father Nolan concluded his talk with a quotation from 1 Peter: 4 and urged the members to "keep up the good work."

Former Radar school A group of unidentified Toronto businessmen have bought the former Radar Training School at Vanastra. The red brick, three- storey building was used by the Canadian Forces Base in Clinton to teach members of the Canadian Armed Forces, the use of radar. The building, said to have been built for $3'/2 million back in 1961, is now worth at least eight million dollars, according to Spence Cummings, Huron County Development Officer. The school was purchased from Denis '1'. Donovan, one of the owners of the base. The business- men intend to put the building to a mixed use which they say %yiII generate a substantial amount of money for the general economy of the arca, by the creation of many new jobs.

Hydro makes cuts to save money cancellation of tours of hydraulic stations across the province; reduction in the extent of improvements to road crossings rights of way and transform stations, is to be implement Effects of Ontario Hydro's province -wide austerity mea- sures, ‘vhich have a target of a $50 million cost reduction in the 1976 budget, not being prepared, will be felt in Western Region, it was announced recently. George R. Currie, Hydro's General Manager, Regions and Marketing, told the Select Com- mittee of the Legislature, meeting in Toronto last week, that $13 million of the target is to be achieved by widespread cuts in the Regions and Marketing Branch. Locally, they will include such items as reduced maintenance on the system's supply facilities, capital programs, and deferrals of building improvements and new staff hirings. Regional Manager E.G.

It w ill require a good deal of work From those %%1,0 Iuivt' volunteered their time and ability to serve on the Centennial Committee. It will require more people yet on the various suh•contmitices of the centennial committee to get the work done. It will also require a good deal oI' help and enthusiasm from the public if the event is to be a success. One of the first steps necessary is to locate all those former citizens who I1avc moved away from town. A big bash like this needs a return of former residents to stake it an interesting event. But how to locate theist, that's the problem. Your help is needed. Ifyou have friends or relatives who used to live in Blyth and the surrounding community but have moved to other parts of the county, the province, the country or the woIrd, help out by getting in touch with Lloyd Tasker, the convenor of the invitations committee and giving the names and addresses. Once that's done, you should begin looking to see what you can do for the centennial celebrations. If you're a member of a group or organization, have you planned a project for next year? Have you planned some kind of family or personal project to help your community celebrate? Nearly all the other towns and villages of Huron county, have already celebrated their centennials. That leaves Blyth to the last and with a tough act to follow. Let's work hard and prove last can be best. Just pay for your • television network, don't expect to watch it The provincial government's programs of cutbacks have once again showed that those who live outside the major cities of the province are considered second class citizens. One of the victims of the austerity stoves by the province has been the program to extend the Ontario Educational Television Authority programs to the rest of the province. The Authority has had its own channel in' Toronto for several years which all of us have had to pay for. but few of us have been able to see. This was to have been evened out by extending the service to the rest of the province, but no more. Ft.w of us will disagree with the need to cutback the cost of government, but one wonders wily the cutbacks always bit at the rural and small town people ul' the province. We say no move, for instance, to cutback the heavily subsidized Go•'Train service in 'Toronto. We saw no move to move new guyerninent jobs from the expensive downtown Toronto area to less costly smaller centres. Only one 01' the cutbacks in health costs by hospital closures was in 'Toronto. and that a relatively small hospital in an area that already had a dozen or nmot'c huge hospitals within a few blocks. It's obvious that we in the rural parts of the province can continue to pay. but we've supposed to be satisfied without the services felt necessary for city people. Has Davis found a new way tc keep power? 'I'hc Progressive Conservative party in Ontario has shown a marvelous skill in riding with the tide of public opinion in Ontario in the last 30 odd years to stay in power, If the present moves they arc making work, However, they may have devised a totally new philosophy of politics that might keep them in power forever. It was relatively easy to see why the party kept power before. Every time an election came around they did what most governments didand handed out a lot of goodies. That could only go on so long, however, and at last it has caught up with all governments. Fed up with rapidly rising taxes the mood of the pcoplc is to cut back government expenditures. 13ill Davis and his boys are hard at it. 'they've told school boards and municipal leaders they'll have to fend for themselves from now on, they've closed hospitals and made a big fuss about tightening the belt until it hurts. Strangely, though. most of the belt tightening has taken place in ridings that don't have Tory members of the legislature. It's safer this way because the areas not affected by the closures will bless the government for its courage by voting for them the next time. The angry people who have had their hospitals closed were already electing the Liberals or N.U.P. anyway so not much is lost. If, ho,vevcr, the move works and Davis goes in big again next time, the stage will be set for the next step once inflation is less a headache again. Can't you see it at election time four or live years from now. The successor to Frank Miller will then be going around the province handing out new hospitals and winning votes. This give it and take it away and give it back again game could go on forever. 1 just can't comprehend those salaries BY KEITH ROULSTON I don't know about you, but sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or to cry when I hear some of the salary figures batted around these days. I guess what brought the whole thing to mind again was the story I read the other day on Valerie Harper, she's the nice looking girl who stars on the Rhoda series on television. It talked about a• good many things in the article but I forgot most of them as soon as I finished reading. The one fact that did stick was that Miss Harper had had a Tight with the pr'oducer's of the series and managed to get a raise: from $15,000 to $17,000 per episode. That's not per year or even per month. That's per episode of the hall' -hour weekly series. Now anybody who watches television knows that doesn't mean 17 big ones every week, because the shows seem to be repeated adnosiunt. But the last 1 heard they made about 26 episodes of each program, That means an income of about $442,000 a year. I don't know about you, but I find those figures a little hard to comprehend. We often hear about athletes who make $100,000, $200,000, even a quarter of a million a year, We constantly hear how they're not worth it, and to be truthful, they can't bc. But at least they have to worry about injury in their line of work. At least they have to worry about a relatively short career. This little chick, and all the other stars of big-time television doesn't have to ‘vorry about injury or short carter or anything. I find it totally hard to imagine how you would go about even counting that much money, let alone spending it. Even after the government took a healthy whack for income tax, how do your go about spending the rest? I've never even had the problem of spending in a year what she stakes in a single episode, Of course that's the crazy world of Hollywood, Things are much more sane here in Canada. Our Canadian television people are always complaining because they Watson drops out of leadership race A Blyth man who had bucked the odds in a run for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada admitted last week that he had finally pulled out of the race. James Watson, proprietor nI' the Village Restaurant said he had sunk $60,000 into his campaign but couldn't match the kind of money other candidates were spending. Mr. Watson based his campaign on the preservation of the free enterprise system against socialism, the maintenance of high standards of Christian morality in political leaders. and the right of every citizen 10 choose his own way of life. He said he was unrb1c to get realistic support for that platform. don't have enough money to work with. Just the other day John Hirsh, the head of C.B.C, drama department complained about a budget cut at C.B.C. which took $700,000 away from his depart- ment, That meant, he said, that he would be able to put on 10 fewer flours of programs next year, Ten fewer hours, That means it costs about $70,000 an hour. Oh the hardship of it all. I know whole businesses that operate for an entire year on less money than C.B.C. spends on one hour of drama, I know whole businesses that operate on less money a year than the chairman of the local Board of Education stakes. Things are so out of whack I can only shake my head in wonder- nment. The world seems to be insane about money. How can anybody be worth $442,000? I Inw can we spent! $70,000 on 0111'1100r of Ielevisiun?

"In my travels across ('a nava people found it hard 10 accept sincerity and honesty •- it befuddles them,— he said. "Everyone said they believed in my principles but they couldn't support 111e over the other candidates. Somehow there is a distrust for politicians." So while other leadership hopefuls are in Ottawa this weekend at the leadership convention. Mr. Watson is planning the sale of his business to return to Edmonton. A former United Church minister, he will return to the ministry and will resume his personal and business consulting business. .'It's been a beautiful experience." he said.

But we're warned about that too. Sure, its a cheap way to travel, until you get caught by the police, then you face a twenty eight dollar fine. DEAR SIR: 'There are students who use I feel it is about time someone their grants for vacation as you spoke out on the Student Loan suggested. but I'm certain these and Government Grants pro- students are 0 very small grams. Someone other than 0 tax minority. 'These are time kind of paying businessman or govern- ment official. Namely. a student. 13oth OSA P and government grants are on the most part a vital necessity to a student attending college or university. Of course there are students who don't need the loan, and certainly don't deserve the grant. I feel, however, that you have been completely unfair and you have made statements unjustly gener- alized. It is a small minority of students who receive this money and don't need it. Most of us wouldn't be able to go to school at all without this assistance, 1 wonder if the people who criticize this program realize actually what the cost of getting an education is these days. Tuition is a minor expense. Students who do not live within commuting distance of the educational institution must move to the city where it is located. Therefore, we pay rent, hydro, telephone and groceries, Ask any woman with a family how much money it takes to feed three or four people every week. And don't get me wrong - we're not - living in luxurious high-rises and eating steak twice a week. On top of those expenses there is the cost of school books, and in some courses, like mine, special equip- ment necessary for the course. And then there's transportation and with bus tickets at thirty cents each and an increase on the way, that really adds up. Of course if you live too far away to walk, there's always hitchiking. people who are at college or university for a good time in most cases, and the ones who often depend on a monthly cneque form dear old Dad to pay for the necessities. But as with any group, there are always a chosen few who slake things hard for the ones really trying. • The method of determining whether a student can obtain a grant is a little confusing and I can see also, where there's room for improvement. Make it a little more difficult for a student to receive one • that would separate the freeloaders from the ones who need the money. Apparently you haven't seen a copy of the application for a Government Grant and Loan lately. You give examples of students who have been self-sup- porting for years, and who still can't get a loan and/or grant because their parents make too much money. If a student has been working for two years and is over age twenty-one, he is considered an "independent student" and his parents are not required to fill out any part of the application, let alone declare a statement of income to the government. I once thought that parents were extremely proud to put their children through college or university. Has this situation changed? If they can't afford to take care of us are we then to be deprived of.an education because there is no government grant program? Surely a family with several children cannot be expect- ed to save enough to send us 011 through school. It has cost therm a small fortune to feed and clothe us all these yea rsa Yes • the Iran program is great. But how long does Eight Hundred Dollars (the present maximum amount available in 1(11111 form) last these days? I'm sure everyone knows 1)11' answer to that. The loan program is great. It docs teach us responsibility and makes us realize how important it is to manage money carefully and pay back what we owe in good faith. But why scrap the grants? I'm sure this much money doesn't rip off anyone • the government or the tax payer. 'There are other projects that seem less worth- while than the educational ones where money is being spent in vast amounts. We are the leaders of tomorrow but how can we expect to learn to change the things that need changing without an education? And how do we gel an education without money? The ones who make it will get ahead and thank God the government was good enough to help us out. The freeloaders will spend their education money on other things and will not make it. There is no place in our society for people like these and they will eliminate themselves through their own foolishness. Tceswater is considering build- ing a new arena complex.

Tax tips Who should claim family allowance Q. The Family Allowance cheques received for our children are made out to niy wife. Does this mean she must report the payments as income? A. Not necessarily. The law requires that the individual who claims a personal exemption on behalf of a child for whom the payments arc received must report the payments as income. if neither parent claims an exemp- tion, the person to whom the cheques are made out must report the income. For further informa- tion, refer to item 7 of the Income Tax Guide provided with your income tax return. Q. My employer pays me an allowance to cover my board and room while 1 am working at distant work sites away from my ordinary place of residence where I support my wife and family. Previously, I was told that this had to be included in income for income tax purposes because 1 was not a construction worker. I understand that this no longer applies. Is this correct? A. Ycs. This exempting provision now applies to all workers employed at a distarit work site providing they meet the other necessary conditions, Q. 1 received a lump sum upon retirement. I do not want to pay tax on it at this time but would like to invest it so as to spread the tax over a number of years. Is there someway that this can be done? A. Yes. A person can use such amounts to purchase an income averaging annuity from a licens- ed or otherwise authorized person. The annuity may be for life, or a guaranteed terns not exceeding 15 years and not cxtending.beyond the annuitant's 85th birthday. Q. What is the general rule as far •as capital gains 'or losses are concerned? A. The general rules is that one-half of capital gains are included in income and taxed at a person's normal rate of tax. When dealing with capital losses, one-half of such losses may be deducted against one-half of capital gains. When losses exceed gains, subtract one-half of your gains from one-half of your losses and deduct up to $1000 of the difference. Q. My ‘vifc has interest from bonds that I purchased for her in her name. Is this interest considered to be my wife's income? A. The interest is your income because you purchased the bonds from your funds. I he sante rule would apply to diyidents on shares, interest on savings accounts and so on. It is the person who had the money to invest who must report the income earned. Q. My wife and I are both retired. She receives the OId Age Security Pension. When I :m making out my income tax return and claiming my \yife. must I include the ()Id Age Security Pension as Bart Of ler income? A. Yes.

STUDENT TEACHERS On January 27th, two student teachers came to Hullett Central School, They were Mr. P. Swan and Miss L. Gummow both from London's Elborn College where they arc studying to be teachers. Mr. Swan was with grade seven and Miss Gummow was with Grade one. They observed the home room teachers on the first day and in the days following they contributed to the teaching. At the end of two weeks they returned to the Elborn College to prepare for another practice teaching session, Ontario has "Seat Belt L This is wjiat you should kn•w ab•t it. Last year, 1.304 people were killed in automobile accidents in Ontario. Another 98,673 were injured. Many of those deaths and injuries could have been avoided, had the persons involved been wearing seat belts. That is why, effective January 1, 1976, the use of seat belts became mandatory. In practice, the law is simple: • You must wear a seat belt and shoulder harness if both are available. • If your car was manufactured after January 1, 1971, it is illegal to remove the seat belts and they must be in good working order. If seat belts have been removed, they must be replaced. • Seat belts that are not working must be repaired. • The shoulder harness is not part of the system in back seats—and need not be installed. • It is not illegal to carry more passengers than there are seat belts. • The driver is responsible for all•children aged 2 to 15. All adult passengers, 16 and over are responsible for themselves. There are exceptions: (1) Children under two years of age. (2) Persons with a medical exemption certificate from their doctor. (3) Delivery personnel driving in their drop-off zone at 25 mph or under. (4) Rural mail delivery personnel. (5) Convertibles do not require shoulder harness. The fine for breaking the law is from $20 to $100, plus costs, But life and health are precious, and accidents which cause death or injury to people, or damage to property, cost far more than the fine. Whether you are a driver or a passenger, from now on you must wear a seat belt. Your Ontario government asks for your co-operation.

The more you beat 'em the better they he, I call your attention to the bride who complained because her husband hit her a little while they were 'on their honeymoon. She said she could hardly see to write. Also he knocked her teeth a bit crank•sided, The bride ended her letter by saying. "Please don't advise me to Icavc this man because I love him too much." Actually women make better wives when they know straight off who's boss. That bride asked you not to tell her to leave the fellow because she knew her place and wanted to be put in it. You can print my name and town if you want to. I'm perfectly willing to stand up anal be counted.-XXXXXX Peewees lose to Zurich in 2 straight On February 13 the Blyth Peewees played the Zurich Peewees in Blyth. The Blyth boys started strong and scored 3 quick goals, but by the end of the first period it was all tied up 3.3, At the first of the second period Zurich scored to go ahead by one. Blyth never quit and came back and scored two goals to lead 5 to 4. The Blyth boys just couldn't keep up to the. strong skating of the Zurich boys in the third period. The score ended 12 to 5 for Zurich. Goal scorers for Blyth were Robbie Plunkett with 3 and Kevin Coultes with 2. Assists went to Bruce Hunking with 3 and Jerry Hoggarth with one.

The men behind the craze have a very logical explanation for the whole thing. For those who want a pct, the pct rock is quiet, obedient, won't talk back and seltluni forget its house manners which is more than you can say for your average pct. What it amounts to, really, is that other people feel a need for attach- ments. For most of us, it is involvement with outer people, commitments that could lead to hurt and unhappiness but more often bring happiness and fulfil- ment. For Many 01' us, it is also involvement with animals, who througn everything remain loyal to ars and regardless of how they are abused, they are still our best friends because they give without asking for anything in return. For the insecure, feeble-mind- ed number who have fallen for this fad and for others in the past, it is becoming attached to a rock - a 'thing' that neither gives nor receives but is merely there, 1 guess a relationship with a rock carries with it no risks of being hurt - so that's good, But neither does it promise anything else - unless, of course, you take into the consideration that someday soon, when the fad ends, you're gonna look pretty stupid carrying around a rock in a plink coat!

The 10 hardworking, dedicated regular members of the yearbook club deserve our co- operation and congratulations for a job well.done. Everyone should work Id meet the deadlines of the Yearbook Club (grad photos, activity write-ups) so the staff can sleet the printing Company's deadline.

No reward is offered for they are gone forever." We each use and measure time so differently it is almost beyond comparison and to students it scents to lake on a whole new definition. Time is 9:00 • 4:00 p.m. and is Monday to Friday; time is September to June and is first grade to graduation, We, as students, use a very unique scale to measure it. Time is not here for perspiration, work or the slaking of memories—no, for 115 i1 is the mere passing between happy moments. How can we be so negligent with such a precious gift?

WM. J. RIEHL, POSTMASTER • ORANGES 113's PER DOZ. 79c BY BILL SMILEY There's nothing like a real cold snap to make you realize how fragile is our civilization, We had a dandy recently, with tempera- tures far below zero in real (Fahrenheit) degrees for quite a few days. It brought the usual plethora of dead batteries, burst water pipes, and ancient furnaces giving up the ghost. I am firmly convinced that if Canada had a solid month of 30 -below temperatures, the country would fall apart, physi- cally, mentally and morally, There's something insidious and fearful about a prolonged cold spell. You sense that some giant beast is outside there, creeping implacably nearer, silent, and monstrous until the final moment of horror when PG. 16, THE BLYTIH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 18, 1976. The whole country could collapse in cold spell plunged. The icicles on the south roof took on awesome propor- tions, During a foray to the kitchen for food, I checked the downstairs powder room. In the sink, where the tap habitually drips, there were a perfect stalactite and a perfect stalagmite, not quite meeting. In the toilet bowl, there was a sheet of ice, glare, six inches thick, and two black squirrels, forced out of the attic by the cold, playing their verson of road hockey. Outside lurked the abominable Iceman. Downstairs the furnace coughed valiantly, like a man with emphysema and one lung. The thermometer read 56. Beginnings of panic, The furance-men weren't coming until next Thursday. You make appointments with them months ahead, like a dentist, Call the plumber, "Nope, nobody here on a Saturday, and besides, we don't do furnace work any more.
