In the last two month's the- Board in supporting the Ontario government's request for restraint in spending slashed expected expenditures drastically in three areas. The cost of education services was :educed by 31 per cent, operating expenses were down by 22 percent and non-operat- ing costs were slashed by 13 percent. About 50 members of councils from Huron municipalities attended the budget approval meeting and participated in a question and answer period. Board . chairman Herb Turkheim in opening the budget discussion said, "we have done our utmost to pare our budget to the bare bones and to cut any more would be irresponsible." He continued, "I would emphasize that the cutbacks we have effected will not harm the education of our young people. Drastic as it may seem we feel that the co-operation of school staffs, students, parents, municipalities and the Board will continue to provide a sound educational system of which we can all be proud," Turkheim emphasized that close to 80 percent of the school budget was already committed when the Board received notice of the decrease in support from the provincial government. Turkheim continued, "when we were advised that the rate of support would be • reduced to 60 percent and 54 percent at the elementary and secondary school levels, respectively we were already faced with salary contracts that had been negotiated eight months previously and' tenders for schools supplies had been' called," In 1975, government support was 62 percent in both the elementary and secondary school panels. The Board chairman continued, "We, as a Board believe that restraints are necessary if our economy is to be saved but are concerned that the lead time given to us by the government was a minus quantity." Chairman of the budget committee, John CONTINUED ON PAGE 16 i Editorial Church Classified Entertainment East Wawanosh Federation honours Simon Hallahan for long service Simon Hallahan, long-time member of just about every • organization in the community was honoured at the annual meeting of the East Wawanosh Federation of Agriculture held in the Belgrave Women's Institute Hall on Friday night. The evening took on the appearance of a celebrity roast as one by one, representa- tives of various organizations that Simon had been involved with commented on his service to the particular group and often added humourous episodes involving Simon. • Mr. Hallahan had served for 32 years as secretary -treasurer of the East Wawanosh federation. He retired last year from that. The first person to recall Simon's work was Russell Bolton of Seaforth from the Huron County Plowmen's Association who point- ed out that he had been first associated with Simon in 1942 when they were involved in organizing the Huron County Federation of -Agriculture... -He'd also run into him .through their mutual, work with the fairs' association and the Crop lmprovenie`nfAssociation. Simon had been involved in the 1946 International Plowing Match at Port Albert and had been president of the Huron County Plowmen's Association from 1963 to 1967 and had the responsibility of setting up the organiza- tion for the 1966 I.P.M. at Seaforth. He•had been in charge of the special events committee at the match and was busy working at the match when word came that his barn at home was on fire. The 1965 Huron County Plowing Match was held at the Hallahan farm. Cliff McNeil represented the Huron County Milk Committee. He explained that after the Ontario Milk Marketing Board was set up about 10 years ago a milk committee was formed in Huron County. He said Mr. Hallahan had been a member of the committee ever since and has served on the executive, as chairman and past chairman and had just recently been elected for another three year term. He repeated what nearly everyone else did that he could never remember Simon missing a meeting. Bill .Gow represented the Holstein Club which was first formed in 1939. Simon joined in 1946 and became a director in 1952 and president in 1954. Don Pullen, Agriculture Representative for Huron County recalled the long years of se.rvire that Simon had given in youth work datintback Je before the 4H program was introduced. He said that Simon had set a good example for youth. 4H work, he said was an attempt to build better citizens and what better model for the young to emulate than Mr. Hallahan, He also brought greetings from. Ontario Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Gordon Bennett who knew Simon well while he was Agricultural Representative in Huron County. Ken Taylor recalled Simon's work in wiping organize the Blyth Co-operative cheese factory which later with its union with the Wingham Co-op started the United Ontario Dairy and Poultry Co-operative which is now the giant Gaylea Foods. Clarence Hanna reviewed Simon's years on East Wawanosh council. Throughout the salutes Mr. Hallahan thanked the speakers and often told of recollections he had of working with the various groups, most often humourous rememberings. The recollections ended on a sad note when Adrian Vos of Blyth, president of Huron, County Federation . noted that although many groups had been heard from, one of the groups he had been quite active in was not mentioned, the Huron Pioneer Hobby and Thresher Association. Mr. Hallahan replied sadly that of the 21 persons involved in the first Thresher Reunion in Blyth he was the only one still living. He said a good many younger people are going to have to be found to keep the affair going. Following the salutes, Mr. Hallahan was presented with a large scroll recognizing his long years of service to the community.

In Blyth the Campaign gets under way on May 3 - 8th under the direction of the chairman Brenda Brooks and co-chairman Joan Chalmers, "Marching Mothers" first began cam- paigning for funds in the U.S. in the early thirties, Polio had reached epidemic proportions, and actor Eddie Cantor More about books believed that altho' the Country was in the throes of a depression, most parents could spare a dime at least towards funding research into a cure for this crippling disease, His promotion of the idea resulted in a nation-wide 'March of Dimes', In 1951 the Ontario March of Dimes came into being, having been granted permission by the U.S. agency to use the name, As in the U.S., the Canadian agency campaigned for funds to further research and in 1955, the Salk vaccine was developed. Clinics were set up by the March of Dimes to administer the vaccine and today polio is practically non-existent, in the Blyth Library SUMMER'S LEASE..by SUSAN ERTZ On a leisurely ocean crossing to England an American family - Professor Gorlan, his mother, his three small sons and the girl whose job it is to look after the children --meet the young son of the Englishwoman, Rachel Van Bolen at whose Oxford estate they have arranged to spend their summer. The friendships begun aboard ship develop dramatically in the English countryside where the interwoven relationships in both families are explored. In this delightful novel, Miss Ertz reveals the ways in which the situation affects not only the adults, but the pretty summer nursemaid and the children of both families. BOWMANVILLE BREAK by SYDNEY SHELLEY Based on an actual incident that occurred in a Canadian prisoner - of -war camp, Bowmanville Break is for those who enjoy high-ten- sion adventure and suspense. Captain Robert Gallant, Intelli- gence Officer, arrives at the camp to investigate an attempted murder but soon uncovers plans for a massive escape of 28 high -security prisoners from the Bowmanvillc camp. Intrigue, espionage, and the prospect of capturing enemy submarines all blend together to produce a novel that will leave the reader winded and happily exhausted as it reaches its climax. FIFTH INNING FADE-OUT by C. PAUL JACKSON Twelve -year-old Joe Mancin was a great pitcher for five innings. After that the 'southpaw hurler just fell apart. He'd start pitching one wild ball after another. Joe couldn't figure out what was wrong. It certainly wasn't lack of practice as each afternoon he'd work out perfecting his fastball, change -up and curves. How Joe and his league coach discovers what is wrong, makes an engrossing baseball story. Besides plenty of exciting game action, this book offers intelligent suggestions on how young play- ers can improve their own games. FIFTEEN BY BEVERLY CLEARY. Jane Purdy is 15 and no one has ever asked her for a date except George, an unromantic boy who talks of nothing but his rock' collection. Then she meets Stan:tall, good-looking, resource- ful and 16,years old --all she ever dreamed of. No reader can fail to share Jane's breathless excite- ment or' the shattering ups and downs of her friendship with Stan. Because Jane's problems are their own, girls approaching 15 will take her to their hearts. How Jane emerges from the agonizing awkwardness of adoles- cense is the theme of this book.

Honour our good citizens One of this community's best known citizens, Simon Hallahan was honoured at the banquet of the East Wawanosh Federation of Agriculture on Friday night in Belgrave. There have been many times when Simon seemed to be everywhere at once, and listening to the long list of groups he has been involved with one knows why they've had that impression. It is people like Simon Hallahan that keep small communities alive. Look around and you'll see that time after time it is the same people who lead groups. This year it may be the Lions club and next some other group, but the same names and faces keep popping up. Often these people are criticized as if they are seeking to be power brokers, but in reality, we couldn't keep our small communities going without them. The horrid truth is that 90 percent of the citizens just don't care enough about seeing things happen to take an active interest in their groups. Let Joe do it they say, and the Joe's Tike Simon Hallahan respond to the challenge. t, They've got other things they could do and perhaps would prefer to do, but they won't see the community let down because no one cares enough to take a job, so they do it themselves. It was good to see a man like Simon Hallahan honoured. We need to honour" more of these people who have given so much over the years.• We owe them a lot. • We forget again The present provincial government has been in power for more than 30 years mainly because Conservative party planners have realized one fact: people have short memories. But even Bill Davis must be amazed at how short people's memories are these days. The 30 years of uninterrupted power have been accomplished through the fact that when scandals were uncovered, they were always safely in the middle of a four or five year term of office. By the time election time rolled around, the scandals were old news. Right now, people are forgetting again, but they aren't fogetting a scandal this time. It's scandalous what they're forgetting. It's safe to say that if there was an election tomorrow Bill Davis would go in by a wide margin. One thing has brought this popularity: the appearance of government restraint. The feeling of the people is that government spending must be cut back and so the government has made some highly visible cuts that have really done little to cut back the government's spending but have given the impression they have. These cuts have given the government a great image across the province, particularly in urban areas since most of the cuts have been made in rural areas (and then mostly in Liberal rural areas). The first thing people forget, of course, is that the expensive government programs that are now being cut were the product of this government in the first place. But more important, and more inexcusable for most of us to forget, is that most of the present monetary mess the government is in is directly attributable to government tax custs and giveaways last summer and fall that were callous attempts to win votes. Remember the sales tax rebate on cars? Remember the cut in sales tax from seven to five percent? Remember the other gimics such as the first time home owners grant or the Ontario Home Renewal Program. All were nothing more than vote buying gimics. Now, to pay for them, we're seeing hospitals closed in rural areas. We're seeing school boards and municipal councils being put in dire straights. We're having government service cut in all directions. If the people of Ontario, including the press and opposition party critics, are so stupid as to let the government get away with this kind of garbage, we deserve to be the brunt of jokes on stupidity, not people from Newfoundland. Tiny village shows the way The little community of Belmore held its annual Maple Syrup Festival recently and once again showed many a larger community how it's done. Belmore is hardly more than a speck on the map to most people, but •Mr. Christie, you make good cookies 'No more lip about L.I.P. please BY KEITH ROULSTON Incentive programs such as the Opportunities for Youth and the Local Initiative Program have caused a good many comments since they were introduced by the government several years ago. Most of the comments haven't been favourable. There have of course been good reasons for these complaints. But in the last few months we've also seen the positive side of such programs. The L.I.P. program provided a crew of workmen that have spent the last three months putting life back into Memorial Hall. Those who have seen the results have nothing but compli- ments to give. The results of the three months of work has been a surprise for many people. Critics of such programs as L.I.P. were pessi- mistic that anyone of quality would be available. At a time when we hear much about people too lazy to work or not caring about the quality of their work, these people were sure that good people couldn't be found for the relatively low wages offered by the L•I.P, program. Indeed by the time the program was about to begin project co-ordinator Ted Hoogsteen was beginning to the people of that community have shown that there are better ways of yonder himself, getting things done than simply adding a few more mills to the tax bill.

We could , again the centre of civic pride for learn a lot from Belmore. a community. I It wasn't easy to keep that feeling of pride. Much of the work that was involved was boring, tedious work. Anyone who has been in the hall lately or will be in the near future, has seen the tremendous amount of wood -work that has been refinished. There is no easy way of refinishing wood, particularly on static things such as railings, window frames. It takes work, work and more work. Hour upon hour of scraping, sanding, resanding. It's enough to drive a person around the bend. For instance the railing leading up stairs into the auditorium took more than a week of steady sanding to put them into their present condition with complicated sanding, between the spokes. ' It would have been easy for_ these boys to give up, or at least have been lacadazical about their work. But they didn't. They took the time to do it well. The results speak for them- selves. If you haven't been up to Memorial Hall lately to see the work done you're missing some- thing. There are still some little details to be finished (some members of the crew have actually volunteered to come in to help finish the work), and some seats still must be replaced, but the effect is really outstan4- ing, They've made the Hall a • place we can' be proud to have thousands of visitors to Blyth see in the coming months.

TODAY CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN THE TORONTO - ]JN SYNDICATE THANK YOL FOR FINDING A FAMILY Do the children who appear in this column really get adopted? That's a question often asked and with the urgency of wanting to introduce more children who are waiting for homes, there has not been room for regular answers. Since there is not a boy or girl waiting anxiously for this space today, I'd like to give one general and one specific answer. The general answer is YES. Over the years of Today's Child, 85 per cent of the children appearing in Today's Child have found adopting parents. The specific answer refers to one boy, tall and handsome and 12 years old. He appeared in Today's Child about two years ago. Along with the description of him was a sentence: "He should be the youngest or the only child in the family." That assessment was based on his ability (or rather lack of it) to get along with younger children, and on the fact that it was felt he would need much individual attention himself. From a large number of families interested in the lad, one was chosen by the Children's Aid Society. Because it was much impressed by the prospective parents, the society went against its own earlier judgment and allowed him to go to a home where there were two small children. It didn't work. After a lot of problems for the entire household, the 12 -year- old was taken back into the care of the Children's Aid Society. This all happened during the first six months before the adoption became final — and it's an evidence of why that "probationary" period is necessary. At age 14, taller and even handsomer, our boy appeared again in Today's Child. Once more, many families were interested in him as a son. Now he is in another adoption home where he is the only child. He has been with the family long enough for both parents and child to know they want to stay together. As proof here is a quote from a letter I received recently from the boy: "Thank you for putting my picture in the paper a second time. I feel I now• have a stable home and will not have to move again." The letter enthusiastically described his parents, his urban home and the country place where they all spend happy weekends. That letter, incidentally, answers another frequent question: How do children feel about having their pictures and descrip- tions of themselves in the paper? / - Not all of them write thank -you letters — but none of them, old enough to have feelings on the subject, w uld appear in Today's Child if he or she didn't want to. needs contact lumbing-. ting Phone 887-6079 For aII your pI mbin • E.

Cherry pie is always a favourite As good tasting as it is pretty, and Canada Choice Cherry Pie Filling makes it easy to prepare this tempting traditional dessert, Covered, latticed or decorated, the Apple still reigns as the traditional favorite among fruit pies in Ontario, according to surveys of restaurants, but cherry pies remain strongly in second place in popularity. It isn't necessary to be dining out to enjoy pies made from delicious Ontario cherries. Quality pie filling processed from cherries grown in Ontario orchards makes it easy to prepare dies in the home. An additional benefit of the processed pie filling is that it makes cherry pies possible at any time of the year, not only when the fresh fruit is in season. Ontario's cherry crop is produced in the Niagara Peninsula, with the remainder of the crop grown in the Essex -Kent region near Windsor and in Norfolk County. Total production of sour cherries - the varieties most suited for pies - was 15.8 million pounds in Ontario last year, an increase of more than 50 percent over 1973 when unfavorable weather seriously affected the crop. The majority of the Ontario crop was taken by processing companies and is available in a variety of delicious forms, including pie filling. This product, in- cidentally, can be used for a number of dessert treats, including tarts or even a delicious parfait. flavor of this delectable pie is enhanced when eaten with ice cream.

Pro -Life group reveals OH.I.P. paid $6 million for abortions An executive meeting of Alliance for Life, Wingham Branch was held, April 20 at the home of Sally Campeau. The minutes of the last meeting were presented and approved. They are proud to announce the their membership has now reached over 225, April 10 was the Southwestern Ontario Pro -Life Conference in Kitchener.

Check the alignment, Straight - ed the front wheel and, placing your hand on the scat -stand just behind—the scat, push the bike forward. It should travel in a straight line, If it veers to one side, it is out of line. Make sure that all the equipment is in good order. Replace batteries on the horn and lights if necessary. Be sure that generator lights are working. Check your tires, Tire tread is just as important to the bike driver as it is to a motorist. Bald tires will not grip the road. Make sire your bike is well oiled, check the chain condition and fitting, tighten all nuts and bolts and check for bent or broken spokes. These weaken the bike. Before you take the bike out on the street, check out its braking ability on both wet and • dry pavement. Remember, your machine has not been used all winter. it needs to be thoroughly checked over •• like any other machine -. to make sure that it is still a safe vehicle and in good running order.

Because their whole purpose is education, they feel that "Cana- dians have the right to know the facts concerning the present abortion situation; furthermore, they should not be encouraged to find solace in ignorance, peace through moral isolation, or conviction by (Weans of a fashionable and fancy phrase, The available objective data indicates that the abortion menta- lity has brought Canadian society to a crossroads where Canadian citizens must now decide whether they want a government which judges that people have a right to live only on the condition of their being socially acceptable, or one which judges that people have the right to live because the right is natural, sacred and inalienable. Iti other words, Canadians must choose between a power society which denies human life to whomever it deems unfit to live, and a just society which affirms and promotes human life wher- ever, human life exists. The former satisfies the instincts of the totalitarian; the latter, the instincts of the social democrat."

From the Minister's Study Jesus says to forgive and forgive again BY TED HOOGSTEEN BLYTH CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH When Jesus tells us that we ought to forgive one another seventy times seven, it is enough to make anyone sit up in disbelief. To forgive once is hardly impossible; 490 times is impossible. And even if we do forgive, when the same problem crops up again, the dislike and hatred come back, showing how imcomplete human forgiveness is. What are the boundaries, the limits of forgiveness? How far should a person go in forgiving another person? These questions are very applicable in a community such as Blyth, in which people on the whole know each other very well, too well perhaps, in many situations. When it comes to forgiveness, we like to set limits; maybe once, maybe twice, but more than that goes beyond our patience. Now, Jesus sets a high standard of forgiveness among his disciples (Mt 18. 21-35). As he forgave in his crucifixion, totally and completely, so his people ought to forgive. What happens though is that we make monumental problems out of the little hurts others ,do to us, and forget the hurts we do to Christ. Forgiveness is a little like money; it is always nice to receive, but hard to give away. Similarly, it is nice to have God's forgiveness in Jesus Christ, but hard to give to others, for we think others always hurt too much to forgive. This is something the Psalmist experienced. When he was silent, when he did not delcare his sin, when he piously talked around his acts of disobedience, he wasted away, physically and spiritually (Ps. 32). If we do not ask God to forgive us, we waste away too, in anger, in frustration, in hatred, mo matter how many excuses we make for ourselves and our behaviour. In the same way, if we do not forgive one another, the little rivalries, the undercurrents of dislike and hatred, will destroy the intimacy of the Blyth community. And to forgive one another is possible only in Jesus Christ; it never depends upon our good feelings, but always upon the grace granted in Christ. There are no limits to forgiveness. The seventy times seven expresses the forgiveness Jesus gives to his people, and in turn, because of oneness with Christ, his people too can forgive seventy times seven, that is, completely.

It's a battle between our 13 year-old son and his 42 -year-old father. If you ask me, the kid has more sense than his old man. My husband insists that the boy part his hair on the right side ',because he is right-handed. The kid's hair is full of cowlicks and it falls to the other side naturally. I know you have always taken the position that what's on the inside is more important than what's on the outside, but there has been an awful lot of haggling. We need to hear from you because your word is respected around here. Please rush your reply, Ann. They're at it again.--S.D. OF DANB'URY, CONN. DEAR S.D.

Result is a steady deterioration in service, courtesy and integrity in the business world, Perhaps it's just a reflection, but the same disintegration seems to be taking place in the social world. Insolence and indifference arc becoming the trademarks of the business world. Bad manners and worse language have become almost obligatory in the social world, 1 haven't the space to deal with both aspects in one column so I'll just catalogue a few typical examples of the kind of rip-off and shabby treatment that are merely the tip of the iceberg. My wife ordered two pairs of infant pyjamas from one of our huge, national department stores. The catalogue priced them at $2.25 a pair. Now the catalogue did state that prices quoted were only guaranteed until a certain date. The parcel arrived a few days Everywhere you turn you. get ripped off after that (late, The goods were satisfactory. Each pair was encased in the manufacturer's plastic package, clearly labeled $2.25. But the bill from the department store was for $2.50 a pair. These had obviously been bought to sell at a good profit for $2,25, Probably 100 percent mark-up. Suddenly they cost $2.50, Chickenfeed, you say? Morfe like chicanery, if you add up all those quarters on a national basis, and multiply it by all the other items boosted in price for no reason at all except that the department store can probably get away with it, My wife ordered a caftan from sonic outfit, which advertised satisfaction guaranteed or your money refunded. She ordered one down to her calves and re- ceived one down to her navel. She sent it back and asked for her money back. Two weeks later, a form letter said the company would be happy to fill her order for the right size. Sometime, only $14., but they have the money and she doesn't have the dress, and I know what the outcome will be. They will stiff -arm her with form letters, in response to her angry, passionate, or pleading inquiries, until she gives up. Some day, the shoddy thing will arrive, designed for a lady midget or a professional basketball player. Went to the city for winter break. Stayed at a hotel we'd frequented for years.

Sagging` power sales and higher costs will /reduce Ontario Hydro's net income for 1976 by 73 million from previous estimates, Hydro Chairman Robert Taylor said this week in a letter to the Ontario Legislature's Select Committee on Hydro Rates. The principal factors in the project for cancellation, but previous estimates which worsen- suggested the Wesleyville and ed considerably in the first three 1 Bruce plants were "the only two months of 11976 were reduced projects that could feasibly be demands for power within cut." A report calling on the Ontario Government to raise the legal drinking age to nineteen has been examined by the policy and priorities board of Cabinet and passed on to several ministries for ' comment 'on its feasibility. The report, prepared by Missi- ssauga M.P.P. Terry Jones, contains thirty other recommend- ations, including issuing photo indentification cards to those who are 19 but not yet 26. Probatio ry drivers' licences for 16 • : year olds are also 1 Meanwhile, the Ontario Legis lature Committee was asked b6C its staff to recommend cancella- tion of one of seven major generating projects in Ontario Hydro's ten-year expansion pro- 1 gram. The staff recommendation stopped short of recommending a Ontario, lower than expected revenue from power exports, higher interest rates and increase operating costs. In his letter Mr. Taylor urged against any reduction in the Committee's interim rate recom- mendation for 1976, because an "Alarming deterioration of Hy- dro's ydro's financial strength can only be reversed by the impelementa• tion of future rates that cover costs Already the Crown Corporation will spend 338 million on interest payments this year. suggeste }':}: ifl. viii: ii:•}:.•. if:r y}:fi.%'i'i:%i:(%i..:: r •..... ri:%'i..:.'i'!%' '•''''• '• ::: CLINTON AND DISTRI ' T CHRISTIAN SCHOO •<ir Princ s Street, fV TEL. 482 inton, Ont. 7851 Enroll ent of New Pupils for he' 1976 school year The Clinton and District Christian School is a non -denominational, independent Christian elementary school, controlled.and financed by the parents.

PG. 16. THE. BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 28, 1976, School trustees explain levy increase to municipal officials CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Elliott of Blyth said that provincial grants will account for 71 percent of revenue for the board compared with 75 percent in 1975. Elliott continued, "the reduction in level of assistance will cost the board close to, $860,000." The budget committee recommended and the Board approved the transfer of an existing working fund reserve fund of S200,000 to be used to reduce the requisition from municipalities. At the same meeting the Board agree to make application to the Ontario Ministry of Education for permission to postpone the second phase of construction at the Exeter Public School to the 1977 budget year. The Ministry had authorized the expenditure of $277,710 for alterations and addition of an auditorium at the Exeter school. The budget shows no plans for capital projects. In 1975 $186,658 was spent in this category. Trustee Cayley Hill of Goderich asked why debt charges and loan interest had increased by more than $161,000 and was told this is the first year for repayment of a $750,000 debenture debt at Victoria Public At the same time, Hill is chairman of the Board's negotiation committee said teach- er's salaries accounted for about 75 percent of instructional costs which are increasing by $2,435,344. Trustee 'Dorothy Wallace of Goderich asked, "if nothing is being spent on capital expenditure, what does this do to our equipment supplies, etc?" Superintendent of Business Affairs Roy Dunlop replied, "We are in a better 1 position now because the government was "liberal" in recent years, For one year the situation should not be too bad and we will continue with essential maintenance only." Director of Education John Cochrane added, "in our budget formula for operating expenses for each school we had a limited amount of replacement capital items of emergency nature." Chairman Turkheim said Huron was rated as one of the most economical school boards in the.province. Roy Dunlop added, "Our increase in the tax rate will be among the lowest in this zone according to Ministry officials. Trustee Jack Alexander asked about cost per pupil and was told by Director Cochrane that Huron is the middle range School in Goderich. as far as Ontario is concerned. Alex Corrigan asked if buildings would suffer during the restraint program and was told by budget chairman Elliott that preventative maintenance program in 1975 was already paying off, Exeter mayor Bruce Shaw who is also principal at Seaforth District High School said he was trying to maintain a certain amount of objectivity but commended the board on keeping the increase at the 28,7 level. Bayfield reeve, Ed Oddleifson said the board appeared to be acting very irresponsible in the instructional category with a large increase despite anti-inflation rulings. He was again told salary negotiations had been completed early in 1975 for the current school year. Gerry Ginn of Goderich township suggested, "It's the student that will suffer not the staff." Director Cochrane again emphasized, "our basic education program will not suffer." Goderich mayor Deb Shewfelt on the method of levying school taxes said, "our methods are completely antiquated. The total education levy should come from Toronto and get at the people who get the services." Board vice-chairman Charles Thomas Gaunt says- Ontario can beself-sufficient in Action must be taken quickly if Ontario is to regain a position of self-sufficiency in food, Murray Gaunt M.P.P. for Huron - Bruce told members of the East Wawanosh Federation of Agriculture annual banquet in Belgrave Women's Institute Hall Friday night. Mr. Gaunt presented figures which showed that Ontario went from a position where it had been pretty much self-suffi- cient in 1961-62, Ontario was only self-sufficient in two areas of production in 1973-74, eggs and vegetables. By 1985, he predicted, Ontario will be producing only 60 percent of its food requirements. Some may argue,• he said, that Canada shouldn't be worried about being self-sufficient in food production that food can often be imported more cheaply than it is produced here. But, Mr. Gaunt warned, if Canada is not self-sufficient, it is in a vulnerable position. We have the land, climate and technology to be self-sufficient in food production in Ontario he said, and given the right price incentive for farmers, it's an attainable goal. He also touched on the problem that has arrisen because of government cutbacks in tile drain loans. Last year the loan program cost $16 million but was cut back to $10 million this year. Later this was increased to $13 million but the interest rate was raised from 4-6 percent. In most cases, he said, townships had already committeed themselves to loans on the basis of last year's ceilings. Leaving themselves in a tough position. The latest word he had, he said, was that the government wasn't going to change its policy and that townships would just to allocate money on a first come, first serve basis.

Taxes on property should be alleviated in all areas. I have' always fought for services for people and taxes should be suppliedby people and not from property." Ginn replied, "If we want to keep any say in education at the local level we have to be prepared to pay for it," Goderich councillor Elsa Haydon asked about an expenditure of $458,500 for tuition fees and was told this was the amount paid by Huron to other school boards for tuition fees for students not able to find their required subjects locally. John Cochrane said among these students were a half dozen taking graphic arts and other courses at Beal Technical School in London. Huron warden Jack McCutcheon said he still supported the local collection of taxes in order to keep local autonomy. He added, "the education levy makes our county rate look pretty. good. What alarms me is the cut in services and the debt charges are beginning to like the provinces." In conclusion, budget chairman John Elliott commented, "1 feel the board is in a position to exercise control as the confidence of the people will allow." food He also spoke on tax reform and explained how the market value system will work when it' comes in probably in 1978. A commission studying the system will report this fall to the Legislature, he said, and legislation will likely be passed in the spring of 1977 with early notices being sent out in the spring and early summer of that year to allow plenty of time for appeals. Dealing with the Essex Packers affair, Mr. Gaunt said the government had made a mistake and farmers were paying for that', mistake, He said the government ignored an offer that would have paid farmers 100 percent of the money owed to them in the bankruptcy case in favour of the DeJong offer which pays the farmers only 15 percent but keeps the Hamilton plant open for six months. He said the move was only delaying the bankruptcy of the Hamilton plant. The matter must be reopened, he said. The executive of the East Wawanosh Federation was returned to office for the corning year. Robert Taylor remains president, Walter Elliott, vice-president; Peter Chandler, secretary -treasurer.
