larger grant
The Huron Plowmen’s

higher provincial grants for
county plowing matches.
At Saturday’s Federation

president Allan Campbell
said, “The grant from
OMAF of $100 for the senior
match and $50 for a junior
event has not been increased
in 20 years.”
He continued, “Due to
inflation these grants are
worth only half as much as
they were 20 years ago. We
feel they should be raised to
at least compensate for the
inflated dollar.”

Book battle continuing
Continued from front page
the letter from Freedom of
Choice. Elliott indicated
later that his intention was
to have the request dealt
with according to board
policy, policy adopted after
the last book fiasco.
The chairman said the
board had adopted definite
policy to handle such re-'
quests and he felt that
policy should be followed.
He said English department
heads, superintendants of
education and some
teachers will be meeting
with the board’s education
committee in June to ap
prove textbooks and the
board will look at the
recommendation from that
committee at its August
meeting.
Elliott said if Freedom of
Choice members wanted to
meet with the education
committee to make a
presentation they could re
quest such a meeting.
Zurich trustee Herb
Turkheim felt that the letter
deserved more than that. He
asked Elliott if the board in
tended to acknowledge the
letter or “completely ig
nore” it.
Elliott pointed out that the
board acknowledges every
letter it receives. He said he
felt the board policy ade
quately covered the situa
tion and that action to
acknowledge the
suggestions from Freedom
of Choice was an “adequate
reply”.
“When the book banners
came along we gave them
two audiences and now the
other side comes out and we
are saying no thanks we’re
not interested,” said
Turkheim.
Lucknow trustee Marion
Zinn said all she got from
the Freedom of Choice
letter was that the group
was asking trustees to read
books before taking any ac
tion.
“There’s a lot of stormy
days ahead we should be
able to read a lot of books,”
she quipped.
Goderich trustee Dorothy
Wallace suggested that the
board’s action was “giving
an impression of being a
fairly autocratic board”.

She pointed out that a group
of citizens is making a re- •
quest and the board is “just
filing it”.
Exeter trustee Clarence
McDonald asked that when a
letter of reply is sent to
Freedom of Choice that it be
explained that “the book is
not banned it is de-listed”.
McDonald said the word
banned is not the proper ex
pression and asked that the
letter explain that.
Margaret Rivers, author
of the letter, said she was
disappointed with the

did not think the board
would reinstate the novel
