The ,grant scheme .continues the en- tic Qn4i tl:sa. g;o7rnutritolf IsiLioorrEtkCtlimilniPsftrlaatrigoenr, The townships or portions of town- ships of this County which have ad- opted the tolynship school area board will •continne to. receive a grant of one • mill, on the ttql14114ed assessment to a maximum annual grant of .$300 per section included in the Area. The grants to secondary -50091$ have bee n greatly increased. This as well as being a saving to the urban centres, will lower the cost for county pupils since high school boards are required to deduct all legislative grants from their gross costs in de- termining, the net cost to be paid by the county and township councils in behalf of their county pupils attending high schools,:, . Assisted grants will uot be required after the new grant scheme goes into. operation ,and fewer special grants to- ward the teaching of special subjects will be necessary. Every school.' board will be expected to provide a full programme of studies with both obligatory and optional subjects in- cluded and with ample 'equipment' for use by teacher and pupils. The new scheme will make mincc-. essary the grant on accommodation and equipment shared equally by the government and the county. The school boards will be -compensated through the new grant which covers 50% or mare o£ school operation costs. This may apply also to transportation costs and fifth classes. The new grants will be paid by cheque directly from the provincial Treasury to the local secretary-treas- urer of each school board, Since all expenditures are subject to approval before grants can be as- sured, there should be the closest understanding and cooperation be- I tween the school board and the in- spector, , The Department officials hope that the first accomplishment in 1945 will be a major reduction in local school rates, and then a very moderate use I of the increased grants toward -more and better -equipment and improved . school buildings and grounds.

IMPORTANT NEN RE ARMED FORCES (This is the third in a series of ten weekly articles especially written for The Advance-Times by Richard Hale, chief pensions officer of the Canadian Legion, Ottawa head- quarters.) By Richard Hale • One of the timings that pensioners of this war are going to have to learn is that pensions are untouchable as far as the 'business world is concerned. No pension -can be charged, assigned, attached, anticipated, committed or given as security. The reason for this is very obvious. The state pays a pension for disability and wants to Make sure that the pen- sioner - gets full value for the pension. However, it will be a surprise to a great many veterans already, dis- charged to know that this rule also CKNX :ftgsgg 920 ON YOUR DIAL THE LIFE Presented UliD ERIIZRITERS Association of Grey and Bruce Counties applies to War Service Gratuity, A. great number of men and women plan to use .this money in the acquisition. of a borne, or some sitnilar. under- taking and,' knowing. that the money is there, have gone ahead with plans That involve the gratuity they know they will get. 1.3uil.ders, contractors and -other business men are sometimes ignorant of the "no assignment" rule and conk.: pieta a deal, The disillusionment doesn't come until the agreement is taken to the bank or loan -company,. whose officials 'are well aware of alt the provisions.

TAKE A TIP To Shape and Fry Doughnuts— Put one-third mixture on floured board, knead slightly, pat and roll out 1/4 inch thick, Shape with a doughnut cutter, fry in deep fat, take up on skewer, and drain on brown paper. Add trimmings to half remaining mix- ture, roll, shape, and fry as before; repeat. Doughnuts should come quick- ly to top of fat, brown on one side, then be turned to brown on other, Avoid turning more than once (except sour milk doughnuts). The fat must be kept 'at a' uniform temperature (370 deg.). If too cold, doughnuts will absorb fat. If too hot, doughnuts wilt brown before sufficiently risen. To Sugar-'-Cool doughnuts and roll in powdered sugar or put sugar in paper bag, add doughnuts, 2 or 3 at a time, and shake until well coated. * * Anne Allan invites you to write to her c/o The Advance/111W' Send in your suggestions on homemaking Problems and watch this column for C=01:010=10=1 L ) .10 O), 10 O. .111•1~44 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 101 0 o. iE O YOUR EYES NEED ATTENTION I EXPLANATION OF THE SCHOOL GRANTS1 Our 25 Point, Scientific Examin- ation enables us to give you cigar, Comfortable Vision I : • f0 F0 Helga Phime'431P1tirnctrItristori I o , ...... —....-, I~r yrcman ~; dttention Hints On Fashions iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiii lllll llll commun.*. 0 0 O U O RR PROTECTED The sale actually commences after the order is closed and the product has left your premises.

O 0 G iy O PROTECT HIS POCHETBOOK The Wingham Advance Times Telephone 34 Schools Of, Huron Except Goderich Will Receive. 60 Per Cent Of Approved Cost The school grants payable in 1945 by the Ontario Government will be 50% of the total cost of elementary and secondary education in the Pro- vince. About 20% was paid in 1944, In the announcement, two lmain prin- ciples were emphasized: (1) that the increased grants are to be the means or lowering the burden of taxation for school purposes on real property. (2) that they are to enable every com- munity to provide for every Ontario child as nearly equal as educational opportunity a5 possible. The former system was complicated by assisted grants, grants for special subjects and detailed calculations on attendance, salaries, and improve- ments. This scheme is the simplest which has been used in Ontario, All rural school boards will receive in 1945 an amount eqttal to 50% or more of the school operation costs for the calendar year 1944. The assess- ment of rural sections is used on a basis for determining the percentage of grants payable, In some cases where the assessment is very low, the grant will be as much as 90%. in Huron County, all rural school boards will receive 50% of their approved COStS, For urban centres the grants to pub- lic and separate school boards% vary according to the population of the ur- ban centre, and are a percentage of the preceding calendar year's school op- eration costs, This percentage begins at 30 for the largest urban centres and goes as high as 60 for the smallest urban centres. Fewer than 150 urban centres will receive\less than 50% of their 1944 operating costs. In each urban centre the percentage of, school operation costs paid to the public school board and to the separate school 'board is the same. in I4uron County, the town of goderich will re- ceive 50% of the approved cost of public and separate schools, all other towns (this including Winghatn) and Villages Will teceive G0%. • 17"/ ,Most women know that a wardrobe cannot be classed as complete Initless it includes at least one tailored suit, Women of action, Women who do things and are about much of the, day, generally make, a good suit the main- stay of their wardrobe, together with plenty of blouses, gilets and sweaters, Pencil stripe gray on gray men's wear flannel is used for this shiny, braids tritrmed suit High revers, single- breasted closing.
