Mr. MacNaughton, in pre-
seining his first budget since his

ficit to avoid any new tax in-
creases.
Carrying charges on the pro-
vincial debt, estimated at $62

nearly $74 million in the next

coming fiscal year of $2,193, -
000,000, the first time in his-

REPORT
The following criminal code
offences were investigated by
the Wingham detachment OPP
last week: one break, enter and
theft, with two persons charg-
e d: q v,: Liquor Control and sev-
Lnet1;LreA1uinal inwst igations.
There were two motor vet*
cle accidents with no injuries
and one person charged as a re-
sult ot these accidents. Proper-
ty damage amounted to approx-
imately .$:31u.01), Three
charges were laid under the
Ilighway Traffic Act. Four
charges were laid under the Li-
quor Control Act and eleven
traffic warnings were issued.
half of every tax dollar on edu-
cation.
At the moment, taking into
account the increased grants to
education, the province bears
roughly half the cost of educa-
tion. Except for some federal
participation, the other half has
to be borne by the municipali-
ties.
Mr. MacNaughton predicted
that the economic growth of
the province would slow down
during 1967-68 fiscal year.
Gaunt proposes
Centralia become
training centre
Liberal MPP Murray Gaunt
(Huron-Bruce) proposed in the
Ontario legislature last week
that the Centralia Air Force
base be handed over to provin-
cial authorities for use as an
adult training centre for the
mentally retarded.
Speaking during the debate
on the speech from the throne,
Mr. Gaunt said that the base
has been closed down in the
process of unification, bringing
about "serious repercussions so
far as the economy of that par-
ticular region goes."
He told the legislature that
since the buildings on the base
are suitable for workshops, rec-
reational activities and living
accommodations for staff and
retardees, he has asked the De-
partment of Education to ex-
plore the idea of establishing
such a centre.
In the same speech, Mr.
Gaunt called for the creation of
a well-supervised and controll-
ed system of pesticide control
to ensure a minimum danger to
the public.
Outlining the public hazard
of increasingly concentrated
types of pesticides, the Liberal
agriculture critic proposed that
the Ontario Pesticides Act be
amended to provide that pesti-
cides be sold only through reg-
istered outlets. "At the same
time", Mr. Gaunt said, ''the
Department of Health should
take upon itself immediately to
increase the staff of the field
inspection branch because it is
rather obvious that six people
for (he entire province just can-
not do tile job."
"Pesticides have made a
great contribution to the agri-
cultural industry and I do not
want to underestimate them;
they have become an essential
factor in food production. But
more has to be done by the
government before an outraged
public demands the complete
withdrawal of many of these
chemicals."
Mr. Gaunt said there is no
reason for alarm at the ma ,
merit. "But if the use of pesti-
cides is relatively unrestricted,
public health is endangered and
,more drastic measures such as
outright banning have to be un-
dertaken,"

The Ilium' County Historical
Society now has an Archives
Room in the Pioneer Museum at
Goderich.
In hundreds of Huron County
homes there are old papers,
documentary sales books, bills
of sale, books, photographs and
other articles which were used
by the early Huron settlers and
belong to past history. Are you
harboring any of these? If so,
the society would like to know
about them so that they may be
preserved.
For the purpose of bringing
together such material in one
place, the Historical Society
will open the Archives Room to
receive such donations on Fri-
day, March :3, and Friday,

The Huron Historical Society
is a private, non-profit group of
volunteers whose services are
freely given to research and the
collection and preservation of
stories about the county's pio-
neers and their descendants. The
research in such an undertaking
is gigantic. The work is now
being done quietly and effi-
ciently, without remuneration,
by this group of people who be-
lieve that the gathering and
safe-keeping of historical data
is of paramount importance for
future generations.
The Society asks for your
help in this centennial year.
