Find 1853 Paper
In Log House
While recently assisting with the
restoration of a log house, Wesley
Young, of Langside discovered a
page of a Scottish newspaper dated
March, 1853.
If was stuffed into the back of a
hole drilled into one of the logs and
then filled in with clay. The house
is located near Langside and is
being restored by Robert and
George Young with the assistance
of their wives Barbara and Linda.:
The hOnse was originally built
during the 1850s by Robert Young
who was the great great grandfath-
er 'of Robert and George Young.
Diming the 1870s, the original
house was doubled in size with a
log addition.
Several pages : of newspapers
• dated 1877 were discovered in this
newer section. .The house was last
used as a residence. approximately .
30 years ago by Wesley Young and
family. Previous to that, it was
owned by the Machines and
Gordon families.i The latter family
purchased it from Robert Young
during the 1870s.

The financial picture ofthe Bruce
County Board ,of Education. is in
need of a full investigation, Bruce
Township Reeve John MacKenzie
told County Council last week.
It matters not whether_ the
investigation is.• promoted by the
county council or groups of
citizens, he said.
Rapport between the council and
the board has been low since the
board was formed seven years ago,
but feelings have never run so high
as they hive over the past two
months.
In April, County Council urged
the 31 Bruce, municipalities to
withholdp payment of their educa-
tion levies until "the board
justified the tremendous escalation
of scbool rates."
Co_uncil also asked the chairman
of the board and the board's direct-
or to explain the increased rates to
council. Two weeks later the Bruce
board met and chairman Thomas.
Lambert of Kincardine said neither
he nor the director would go before
council to explain the budget.
Council should come to the board
offices for any information, said,
Alan Whicher of VViarton, board
finances chairman.
Mr. Whicher also • said the
increase in board expenditures was
about the same percentage as that
of ,county- council.. Mr. MacKenzie
disputed the statement Tuesday
describing it as "deliberately
misleading of the. Bruce taxpayers. °
They (the board) ignore their 1975
over-levy." • .
Mr. MacKenzie said he consid-
ers the board's actions at the June
1 meeting even more serious. The-
board then declined to tell a
delegation what the cost of the
outdoor education centre has been.
"Either they (board) did not
have that information or deliberate-
ly withheld it. And 'the chairman of
the board's finances said he could
not get it. Any of our county
departments could give answers of
their finances. Just how serious a
situation have we with this board?"
he asked.
Amabel Township Reeve Gary
Marron said hii council wanted
information on its education levy.
"We visited those bureaucrats in
their Taj. Mahals and came away
little wiser."
The situation will improve little
until the ward system of elected
trustees has changed, said Wilfred
Houston, reeve of Greenock Town-
ship. , •
"They are big toads in their own
little puddle. Greenock council
contacted our representatives to
the Bruce Board and to the
°Bryce-Grey Separate School Board
° and asked them to attend the
council meeting," 'he said.
"Our representative on . the
county board told us he had-been
warned at the board not to appear
and notto give us any, information.
The separate libard trustee was
there with all the information .at his
fingertips," Mr. Houston said.
The . Bruce Board should emulate
the, board in neighbouring Grey
County, Wiarton Reeve Bernice
Limpert , said, The Grey Board'
invited Grey councillors to' a special
meeting at which the budget was
explained in detail.
A small number of trustees calls
the shots for the Bruce Board,
Elderslie Township Reeve Harvey
Davis said. •
There is, a self-annointed inner

elite' governing our school, boards,
some of', them were -very articu-
late," he said. "Some members
went into the board. with good
ideals but if you get knocked down
often enough you lose your
enthusiasm," Mr. Davis added.
Walkerton Reeve Arthur Brown
said a new slate at the school board
is what is needed. He said most
representatives on the board have-
n't enough background.
Two municipalitieS, Saugeen
Township and Port Elgin are still
withholding their education levies.
Don't find fault — until you
first find a workable •remedy.
