Why is it other folk's babies say cute things, but our's just say unprintable ones? Many a man is self-made because nobody else wanted to tackle the job. Automation has not really done away with red tape. It s merely faded and perforated it. Speaking of opportunity, Havelock Ellis wrote that "Those persons who are burning to display heroism may rest assured that the course of social evolution will offer them every opportunity." Just received a report of an ad which says: "T-bone, 75c. With meat, $12.95." You are an adolescent when you have developed to the point where you could dress yourself if only you could remember where you dropped your clothes. Hardware EXETER An arbitration board report on the Huron County Board of Education has been completed under the direction of chief arbitrator J. H. Kinkead, a former school inspector for North Huron. In an attempt to bring uniformity to the ,educational system in Huron County the arbitrators adjusted in an equitable manner the assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1968 of the boards that, before they were dissolved had jurisdiction wholly in the school division in which the County Board now has jurisdiction. The arbitrary board observed that not all former boards administered their respective jurisdictions in the same manner but concluded that these differences were minor. The auditor's reports in general were accepted with certain minor adjustme nts. Seven former school boards in the County including the Stephen Township school area owned their own school buses. The buses were evaluated by two separate persons. The average amount was credited to the former boards less the amount of the outstanding debenture. In 1968 one Stephen bus was assigned for the transporation of pupils to the Grand Bend school and it is understood this bus is now the property of the Lambton County Board. In the case of debentures held by Stephen township on an addition built to the Grand Bend school in 1966 the arbitrators determined that there should be no transfer of funds between the Lambton and Huron County Boards of Education. According to the debenture schedule the Lambton County Board of Education shall pay annually directly to the township of Stephen an amount of $4,602.36 in consideration of the applicable share of annual debenture payments. This debenture will be retired in 1986. At the same time, the Lambton Board was assessed $1,448.96 as their share of the 1968 deficit of South Huron District High School in Exeter. AWARDS The arbitrators conclude that where in the opinion of a municipalcouncil the application of the surplus to the tax levy in one year would cause an undesirable fluctuation or where the application of the deficit in one year would cause an undesirable burden on the ratepayer, consideration be given to applying such surplus or deficit over two or three years. Where the municipal council decides to take such action, the consent of the Ontario Municipal Board is required in accordance with Section 64 of the Ontario Municipal Board Act. Some of the school boards that did go on a spending spree the last year didn't do their ratepayers much of a favour. The deficits must now be paid back and will be applied to the 1971 tax levies. The Clinton District Collegiate board showed a deficit for 1968 of $61,778. The deficit at South Huron in Exeter was $25,510. Ratepayers in Exeter will find very little difference in their tax rate because of the changes. While the town's share of the deficit at South Huron is $5,273.11, the Exeter public school board showed a surplus for 1968 of $4,110.87. The largest secondary school deficit in the County is for the town of Clinton in the amount of $15,82.5G while Stanley township is close behind with $15,178,90. Locally, the township of Stephen has a deficit of $6,292.64 to make up for secondary school purposes while the elementary deficit is only $678. Hay township has a benefit of $1,904.72 for eletnentary school and a deficit of $5,158.32 for high school purposes. The township of Usborne has deficits of $1,213.10 and $4,395.57, respectively for elementary and secondary schools. The arbitrators conclude that for the Elementary and Secondary Schools in Huron County, there will be no interest charged for such surpluses and' deficits. Surpluses and deficits involving area municipalities are found by the arbitrators to be as follows: ELEMENTARY Division Clinton — Clinton Public School —$3,078 Deficit. Seaforth — Seaforth Public School —$5,639 Deficit. Blyth — Morris E. Wawanosh T.S.A. —$4,226.09 Surplus. Brussels — Morris E. Wawanosh T.S.A. — $4,893.35 Surplus.

Mr. Kinkead told the T.A Monday morning "1 think the school boards generally did a pretty decent job in closing out their business. They knew they were being taken over and there wasn't much change in policy. They didn't take advantage of the situation." Members of the Board were J. H. Kinkead, R. H. Carson, W. J. Dale, W. H. Hodgson and L. G. Winter. Careful consideration was made of the adequacy of school accommodation and the debentures which the County Board must assume for the payment of these debentures. Consideration was given to the debenture payments which were made by various municipalities and the amount which would be assumed by the Huron County Board of Education. An interim schedule of debenture payments has been included in this report. It is recorded that the outstanding debentures for Secondary Schools at December 31, 1968 was $3,769,500 and for Elementary Schools at December 31, 1968 was $5,582,926. It was observed that the ratepayers in certain jurisdictions have paid debentures for school construction for several years while others have been assessed for debentures for one or two years. It was observed by the arbitrators that the necessary expenditures for the maintenance of older buildings may require greater expenditure than that of more recently built schools. It is apparent also that some former boards deemed it advisable to finance the building of schools by a 10-year debenture rather than the usual 20-year debenture. The debenture issue in Secondary Schools is complicated in part by the Department of Education participation in Vocational School Grants. The present policy of the Department of Education to assume a portion of debenture payments for school debentures influenced the arbitrators to accept outstanding debentures as a just assessment on the ratepayers of Huron County. Through the past few years former school boards sold school buildings and sites and used the funds for various purposes including the reduction of school levies. The arbitrators concluded that after January 1, 1969 funds received from the sale of school buildings and sites would be credited to the Huron County Board of Education. CLERGY RESERVE FUNDS The Municipal Council of the Township of Tuckersmith held in trust certain funds, the interest of which was to be used for the support of public schools. As the amalgamation of the school boards of Tuckersmith Township School Area and the Stanley Township School Area the referee in his report assigned these funds to the Huron County School Area No, 1. These funds are not the property of the Huron County School Board. The Municipal Council of the Township of McKillop holds certain Clergy Reserve Funds. The arbitrators have concluded that these funds will remain the property of the Municipal Council of the Township of McKillop and any disposition of the funds will be concluded by an arrangement between the Huron County Board of Education and the Municipal Council of the Township of McKillop. In the meantime, the Arbitrators conclude that the annual revenue from these investments shall be used at the discretion of the Huron County Board of Education.
