This is the first increase experienced by this board in 10 'years. The increase is all in Perth County Vitich has 66 more students enrolled this year than expected. Actual enrolment in the county increased by 35 students, from 1,354 in 1982 to 1,389 students this year. • In Huron, separate schools report 13 fewer students than projected. The actual enrol- ment figures show a decline of 23 students from1,220 last year tb 1.192 students this year. Superintendent of education John Mc- Cauley said some classes had over 35 students in them on opening day. Rearrange- ments since then have left no classes with more than 35 students. The superintendent added that kinder- garten classes are being closely monitored to determine where additional teachers may be added. Pleased by the increase, Stratford trustee Ron Marcy,asked how many more students are enrolled than accounted for in the board's budget. Superintendent of business and finance Jack Lane answered 53 studetts at present, but said the Ministry of Education takes Sept. 30 enrolment figures for grant purposes. Per pupil grants to the school board are based on the Sept. 30 enrolment.

The agreement between the three boards goes into effect on Jan. 1, 1985 the separate school board agreed at its Sept. 12 meeting. "Why are we not educating these students ourselves?" asked Goderich area trustee Michael Moriarty. Director of education William F ckert said the public boards of education have been educating these students for a long time. Bill 82, the special education amendment to The Education Act, now permits separate school boards to educate its own trainable mentally retarded students, added Mr. Eckert. Also. superintendent of education John McCauley pointed out • that there are approximately 11 such students spread over the two counties.

The 518.2 million Convert - to -Rent Program is for the conversion of non-residential properties to rental apart- ments. The Minister , also an- nounced two demonstration programs. The first, a S5.5 million program will help landlords upgrade major sys- tems, such as plumbing or electrical in older apartment buildings. The other program with the amount of $f.2 million is earmarked to show the ad- vantages of duplexing, creat- ing about 150 new rental units in existing single-fam- ily housing. The Convert -to -Rent pro- gram is being launched initially in Metro Toronto and Ottawa. It offers 15 -year, interest free loans of 57,000 per unit to assist in the conversion of non-residential buildings such as ware- houses, second -floor space above stores and vacant school property, to moderate rent housing. If the program is success- ful in Toronto the Ministry will be considering other municipalities with a vacancy rate of less than two per cent. 'Municipal support is vital to the success of the program particularly with regards to zoning flexibility. SUNCOR One and a half years after the Ontario Government made a 5650 million "invest- ment" in Suncor, the cost to the Ontario taxpayer has increased by almost 5114 million. Each and every day the Government continues to hold its 25 per cent share in the company the loss rises. Since the beginning of 1981, interest costs on the purchase price have totalled 5139 Million, while Ontario's one-fourth share of earnings, in the form of dividends paid and increased equity. equals 525 million. The net loss through the second quarter of 1982 reach- ed SI 13,994,880 - more than the Ontario Government will spend on the entire COED job creation program. Suncor's recent press re- lease boasts earnings are up over the first six months of 1982 - it lumps the first two quarters together to try to disguise a second quarter drop in performance. Second quarter earnings were 518.3 million, a 19 per cent decline from the previous quarter. BILD STORAGE GRANTS The Minister of Agricul- ture and Food Dennis Tim- bre!' announced that 583,329 in grants were awarded to 17 Ontario Fruit and vegetable growers and packers. The Minister said the grants are incentives to help the grow- ers and packers expand and improve their operations. The recipients have person- ally invested another $166,- 658 in the various projects. The grants cover one-third of the cost of new or renovated storage facilities for Ontario -grown fruit and vegetables for fresh and processing markets. They also apply to one-third of the cost of purchasing and instal- ling handling and packing equipment. The BILD initia- tive is aimed at extending the malrketing period for fresh Ontario fruit and vegetables anc reducing imports. ELIGIBILITY DEADLINE Seniors who haven't estab- lished their eligibility for the 1982 Sales Tax Grant through Old Age Security have until December 31 st, 1983 to file an Ontario Tax Grant eligibility application. This eligibility deadline is the same for the Ontario Property Tax Grant. Proof of age and residency must accompany the eligibil- ity application. A birth or baptismal certificate is the usual document required for proof of age. If a senior cannot obtain either of these documents, at least two documents should be for- warded which show age or date of birth e.g. Passport or marriage certificate. Seniors receiving OAS or who have previously established eligi- bility will automatically re- ceive the Sales Tax Grant. Leisure Life... Designed to promote and enhanceJourism in Southwestern.
