V ‘. 73/44d, 990' Trustee Looby said Mr. Lane should be congratulated on such a good financial statement. "It's too bad it didn't give dividends", he said. Report from Queens Park by Murray Gaunt MPP 20- THE BRUSSELS POST, MARCH 26; 1076 (Continued from Page 1) accumulated underlevy since 1969. The financial statement showed an actual revenue of $2,900,0005, $42,951 under the budgeted figure for 1974. Actual expenditure per pupil was $694.75 and the board was under provincial Ministry of Education ceilings by $69,325. Dublin trustee Joe Looby said he thought the financial statement should be printed in local newspapers and questioned the present policy of handing copies of the statement out through the schools and chtirches. "A lot of people don't get them." Mr. Lane said it would be quite expensive to advertise in all the papers in the two counties. Trustee Michael Connolly suggested mailing a copy of the statement to every ratepayer. The board decided to look into alternative forms of distribution. Many young people at present are trying to make arrangements for summer employment and since the government has recently announced Ontario aperience 1975, this years summer employment programme, I thought I would include it in my weekly report, Most students will want to apply for programmes operating in their own area because they would prefer to be within commuting distance of their homes.. I will list some of the programmes which I think may be of particular interest to students in Huron-Bruce. 1. Ministry of Attorney General - community work for young people in connection with provincial courts (family division.) 2. Ministry of Colleges and Universities - young people can work in art galleries, museums, regional libraries throughout the Province. There are also interest-free loans available to young people up to a maximum of $1,000 per venture to own, or operate, their Minister of Education Thomas Wells' announcement that the expenditure ceiling per elementary school pupil would be raised $5 0 in 1975 came in for some comment at the Huron Perth Roman Catholic School Board's meeting in Seaforth Monday night. Goderich trustee Vince Young said in his opinion Wells was getting' "a lot of print but not saying much", because although the ceiling per pupil was up, most boards face a declining enrolment. Bdsiness Administrator Jack Lane said the per pupil allotment was based on the average daily enrolnient is calculated three times a year. Mr. Young said announcements like Wells' make negotiations harder because people think "We're getting a lot more money." Mr. Lane commented that the board still doesn't know if the province will increase their . grant share proportionate to the ceiling increase. "He (Wells) is looking for votes and it looks good", was Mr. Young!s comment. The 1975 budget cannot be drawn up until budget regulations come from the Ministry Mr. Lane said, and they cannot be expected until some time in April. The board's building and property committee was voted a second allotment of $10,000 for own summer buSiness. 3. Ministry of Community and Social Services - opportunities to work with municipal recreation departments in developing leisure opportunities for the disabled and handicapped. 4. Ministry of Correctional Services. 5. Ministry of Education, 6. Ministry of Health, 7. Ministry of Housing, 8. Ministry of Industry " and Tourism. All these 'ministries have job possibilities for post secondary students. 9. Ministry of the Environment, and 10. Ministry of Natural Resources have opportunities throughout the Province for manual, technical, and clerical positions. The applications should be submitted no later than. April 1st, 1975 for all post secondary students, .and by May 1st, 1975 for all secondary students.
