Canada first, says Dublin firm East Huron Produce Ltd.. the Dublin poultry operation has had to turn down a request to supply chickens to the American - based poultry packaging company, Land -O - Frost. According to East Huron representa- tive, Ron Bennett, the request was turned down because of a large Canadian demand for the birds. The company, which supplies Quebec and Ontario markets. has all it can do to fill its orders right here. Mr. Bennett explains that prior to Christmas. the company sent two shipments across the border to be packaged. The shipments were largely part of a trial project and done because of prevailing market and duty prices at the time. . He explains that the shipments were not a money staking venture for East Huron because of the extra paper work involved. After packaging in the US, some of the finished chicken products were then sold back here in Canada. Much of the shipments were sold in American markets, Mr. Bennett says. He feels that in other years a similar arrangement could have been worthwhile to fill quotas. However. with the present Canadian market demand being so high, the company will be putting its efforts into supplying the demand here. Will expand- French classes BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE The French program in the 19 separate schools in Huron and Perth counties will be expanded in grades six to eight effective September of this year. The Huron -Perth Separate School Board approved the expansion at its' Feb. 28 meeting in Dublin. Currently French is taught for 20 minutes a day in grades four to eight. In September this will increase to 40 minutes a day for grades six to eight while grades four and five continue with 20 minutes of 'French a day. Direaor of education William Eckert said current grade eight graduates have accumu- lated 300 hours of French and after the Correspondent MRS.

The increase is an attempt to have the separate school students in the two counties on par with students from the two public systems. Another consideration for the increase is that effective September 1984, French becomes a compulsory subject to obtain a secondary school diploma. There are presently 3.8 French teaching positions and this is estimated, to increase,tg., six teaching, posifioifs. The cost of the program Which' now' is 1114.000, is also expected to increase by $81.000 (in 1983 dollars) by the year 1986.

The cold wind and show was quite a drastic change from all the lovely weather we have been getting. The school children are home for the March break, which leads to. in many homes. a hectic sched- ule of tournaments and other playoff games and participa- tion in Young Canada WeCk. The Knights of Columbus hockey tournament was play- ed this weekend. On Sunday Zurich won the 'B' Division trophy and Dublin lost to Seaforth on a 2-2 tie by shots on goal in the last period with 7 to 11 for the 'A trophy. It was quite disheartening to see such lack of enthusiasm in one of the largest populated schools. Dublin started the day with eight players and the goaltender for the first"game and by•the third game,wcf down to six players a the goaltender, due to other hockey commitments. At 'one point, due to an injury, they were left with only five players and no substitutes. Student participation and fan support was almost nil. Other schools participating were very well represented and their fans were out in good number rallying behind their teams. Such lack of interest must make the coach- es wonder why they even bother to give freely of their time to help with these events. This tournament is to promote sportsmanship among youngsters and their schools and should be over- flowing with participants and fan enthusiasm_ One need not be a super player to qualify. All that is required is adequate equip- ment which if not owned could be borrowed for the day and the desire, determination and pride in being able to represent your school.

MAINTENANCE Maintenance at the court house has been budgeted at 5185,785 up 54 per cent from the 5120,485 budgeted for last year. The reason for/he large increase is that 589,000 has been budgeted for the court' house under the employment incentive program. The county will receive 576,000 back front the provincial government under this program. The budgeted figure for building and equipment repairs at the court house is also up. $21.500 this year compared to 58,500 the previous year.

The social services general welfare assist• ance budget has been estimated at a 61 per cent increase.

Salaries and benefits takes up the largest portion of the budget at 5105,400. levy, - Milverton Reeve Maurice Marleap sug- gested enough money should be taken out of -the reserve to reduce the levy to a five per cent increase instead of the 6.7 per cent Increase. "We should keep the levy at five per cent." said Reeve Marleau. Ellice Reeve Fred Knechtel disagreed. He said the reserve shouldn't be reduced as much as it was because the county reserve will fall behind. Then, he added, the levy to municipalities will have to be increased. "I'll go along with the 7.6 per cent (levy .increase), but 1 am certainly opposed to taking any more out of the reserve." said Reeve Kenechtel. Reeves Ron Denham and Calvin Innes agreed with the Ellice reeve and Reeve Innes commented that the reserve is a "cushion for tough years". Maybe this is the first of the bad years." said Reeve Innes. Listowel Reeve Elsie Karges said she was prepared to accept the budget as it is, although she would have like to have seen more reserve money used. Mitchell Reeve Jim Spence also agreed with Reeve Marleau as the pair were the only two to oppose approval of the 1983 budget. Elma Township Reeve Glynn Coghlin said approving the budget means lowering the surplus, but noted the surplus is still over half a million dollars. ROADS The road department takes up the largest portion of the 1983 budget. Over $2 million has been budgeted for this department with the Ministry of Transportation and Commun- ications picking up Over $1.5 million.
