Editorial asks board to be wary,
The following is editorial
comment which was found in a
recent edition of The Toronto
Star. With elections for school
boards looming in this county,
readers may find it food for
thought:
"School board trustees elec-
ted next month will find that
more.than ever before they will
be expected to know what is
happening in the classroom,
Those candidates who feel that
the quality of education is none
of their business, that it should
be left to administrators, prin-
cipals and teachers," might as
well stop campaigning right
now. What the public wants is
representatives not only on the
school board but also in the
schools.
"At one time most people
were fairly satisfied with public
education, and trustees could
do their job of looking after the
mill rate and leave the rest to
the eggheads. But now it is as
clear as 1 plus 1 equals 2 that
most people are dissatisfied
with the educational product
they're paying so much for.
"If the tide' of "fun
education" hasn't turned, it
has certainly run into a wall of
public opinion that insists
children are taught — whether
or not they have fun in the
process — how to read, write
and do arithmetic.
"Voters who believe that
children must be given a good
grounding, that children can
learn the basic skills if the
teachers will only teach them,
will want to know which can-
didates share this view. They
will, also want to vote for can-
didates who will make it their
business to see that it happens.
"Most trustees have shied
away from this, perhaps for
fear of being squelched by the
jargon and second-hand,
rhetoric of professional
educators. It takes a confiden't,
well-informed layman to rebut
a principal's argument for
allowing a Grade 2 teacher to
neglect reading instruction.
"There may be, as trustees
will be told, "developmental
studies showing that a
A new Ontario Beef Calf
Loan Program and certain
amendments to existing
programs of the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food were announced by the
Minister of Agriculture and
Food, the Honourable William
A. Stewart, in the Legislature
on October 25, 1974,
Under the new Beef Calf
Loan Program, guaranteed
bank loans will be provided for
producers of beef feeder calves
who reside in the Province of
Ontario. Loans may be used to
pay operating expenses such as
mortgage payments, taxes, rent
and to purchase feed, seeds, fer-
tilizers, pesticides, farm sup-
plies and any other material
used in beef cow-calf produc-
tion.
The loans will be available
from December 1, 1974 to
March 31, 1975, with the term
of the loan being for three
years, repayable at any time,
but the payment of full prin-
cipal and interest required
when the loan is due. Loans
will be based on the number of
calves produced by a farmer
and in his ownership, on or af-
ter August 1, 1974, up to $75
per calf to a maximum of 100
calves. The current commercial
lending rate plus one percent
will apply to.'the loans. Should
- the' -militia tbfrithefeisit hate
subsequently drop, the farmer's
interest payment will decrease
accordingly; however, he will
not be required to assume any
increase 'in the cost of interest
that might occur after the date
his loan is made.
In making the statement, Mr.
Stewart said: "I hope this
guaranteed loan program will
encourage beef-calf producers
to hold their calves over, where
possible. I also hope beef
producers will retain their best
breeding stock, but cull out and
dispose of any undesirable beef
cows, replacing them with
quality beef heifers. This loan
program should assist
producers to meet obligations
that could have been taken care
of if beef feeder calf prices had
been more in keeping with cost
of production.
"We believe this program
will assist farmers to maintain
and upgrade the ontario beef
cow herd during this period of
depfessed feeder calf prices —
thereby reducing the possibility
of a beef scarcity developing in
the next few years."
During the statement, Mr.
Stewart announced certain
amendments to the Ontario
Beef Heifer Loan Program
originally introduced in 1972.
Under the amended program,
the interest-only period will be
extended to three years instead
