This decision was made without any consultation of the citizens of Ontario who, regardless to faith or background, will be expected to support one religious group to the exclusion of all others. It is possible that such a move will fragment the Provinces Public School System, should other religious and private schools request their fair share of the tax dollar too! According to Bill Phillips, Chairman of East York's Board of Education, the Roman Catholic Separate School System will rob the Public Schools of some 138,000 new students and put 8,400 Public School teachers out of work. "Davis said he hoped Catholic Schools would stop turning away non- Catholic kids" but some Catholic Of- ficials already are hinting they have no intention of taking non-Catholics. Similarly, he hoped that Catholic School Boards will stop turning away employees - from teachers to secretaries or janitors - because they aren't Roman Catholic. It is my feeling that no one should be forced to support another's religion and I am opposed to our government using public funds to fully finance the Roman Catholic Separate School System. Yours truly, Asa Deeves, Hensall Requests action to aid business Concerned over the fact a new business enterprise could be jeopar- dized through the need of attaining an easement for a storm drain hook-up. Reeve Bill Mickle passionately urg- ed Exeter council this week to take steps to prevent fences from being put up to stop new development. "We have to get off our butts." he said, adding that if the steps required to assist new businesses to locate in town cost some money "so be it" His comments were in reference to 'the need of Londoner Horst Kuehn to obtain easement to service his propos- ed donut shop planned for 217 Main St. N. Mickle said the delay created could result in the business not establishing here as the owner is desirous of get- ting into operation as quickly as possi- ble to take advantage of the spring and summer trade. While the zoning is in place for the donut shop. Mickle noted no building permit could be issued until the drain situation is looked after and it could result in some time consuming hearings. The Reeve said the town could lose new businesses if the word gets out that it can't properly facilitate them. Ile presented an alternative drain plan and asked that works superinten- dent Glen Kells be asked to consider it as quickly as possible. Councillor Gaylan Josphenson look exception to some of Mickle's remarks. noting that the town has cooperated with new businesses in the past and he didn't want to leave the impression that such cooperation was not forthcoming in Exeter. At the end of the debate, Councillor Tom Humphreys explained that the 217 Main St. address was in fact at the north end.

Penn responded late last week to Huron County reeves' concerns they are losing control of the agency because its finanoial records have gone from county offices to the agency. "The county still has four people on the board," said Mr. Penn. The director said while the county feels it is losing control, the agency has lost money as a result of its association with the county. In a news article last week, Huron's deputy clerk Bill Alcock was quoted as saying the county charged the agency a nominal fee. similar to the fee it charges other departments such as the Huron County Health Unit, for administration work including payroll and accounts. Penn said the nominal fee was $11,000. Another cost the agency has had to pay because it followed county policy was a per meeting rate of $73 for board members which totalled about $8,000 for one year. Penn said Huron has the smallest Family and Children Services agency in Ontario, yet it has the highest paid members. Family and Children Services is more com- monely known as the Children's Aid • Society. Since the agency took over its own administrative duties last November, interest money has been discovered. This money comes as a result of the provincial ministry of community and social services paying its 80 per cent share of the agency's budget at the beginning of each month. This money collects interest throughout the month and was previously going to county coffers. - Huron's Family and Children Ser- vices is also losing possible interest from the county's 20 percent share of its $1 million budget because the coun- ty is now only paying twice a year - at the end of June and the end of December. "The county says they are losing control, but we lost our money in their account," said Penn. He also noted there are seven members on the board; four being county councillors. Penn said those are good odds considering the coun- ty only pays 20 per cent of the agen- cy's budget. The agency faces another problem this year because of its reltationship with the county. Huron negotiated a four percent salary increase with the agency's CUPE union, yet the pro- vince is only giving the agency a three percent increase. However, Mr. Penn did point out that on top of the three percent, the province is giving $22.000 to the agency for new staff for child abuse prevention. The whole matter with county coun- cil started in the summer of 1983 when the ministry of community and social services, which oversees Family and Children Services, completed a routine "operational review". Mr. Penn said the provincial ministry does about 11 reviews a year. "They were somewhat surprised to find the relationship with the county," said Penn. The ministry specifically recom- mended reviewing the practice of electing the Huron County deputy clerk -treasurer to the position of treasurer for the agency's board. Penn said the ministry took the posi- tion that the person couldn't represent the best interests of the agency while employed by the county. The whole practice was in violation of theCorporations Act, said Penn. He explined the c rport lions Act states financial records have to be located at the corporation's head office. But the ties with the coltnty will con- tinue. because besides the county councillors membership on the hoard. the agency pays the county rent frit- its orits offices -on Gloucester Terrace in Goderich.

The purpose of this meeting will be to question the candidates for provincial parliament on their stand on women's issues. Women and men interested in the views of the candidates on issues relating to women's equality are in- vited to attend. The meeting will provide an oppor- tunity for voters to become aware of the politicians' views on issues of equality for women and provide the opportunity for women to make the politietans aware of the issues that are of concern to them. Three candidates representing the Liberal, New Democratic and Pro- gressive Conservative parties of On- tario have agreed to attend the event. They are: Jack Riddell, Paul Klopp and Bryan Smith. Neither Women Today nor the Women Teachers' Association, as organizations, have an affiliation with any particular political party. "Our purpose in organizing this event is not to tell women who they should vote for. Our purpose is to en- courage women to be aware and in- volved in the political process and the political factors that directly in- fluence their lives. By becoming aware. knowledgeable and having ex- perience with the political process we realize that we have the influence and responsibility to make change," Women Today spokespersons said at a press conference last week. "Women Today has had a history of laking on this kind of responsibili- ty over the past four years. Our organization has written briefs and made presentations (0 the Provincial Standing Committee on- Social development on the desperate need for quality, affordable and accessible day care in Huron County. We have carried out awareness campaigns to make people aware of and change their attitude to issues relating to violence to women. Issues of violence include women abuse: sexual har- rassment: pornography; rape and finally negative and limiting stereotyping of women's role in society." This would include the opportunity and support for women to: start their own business: be recognized and ade- quately paid for their role in the agricultural industry: he recognized for the unpaid labor of childrearing, and household tasks (and not be ex- pected to he totally responsible for these simply because of her gender; be guaranteed safely from violence to women in all its forms; have positions in equal numbers to men, on boards and councils that make decisions which affect community life - such as - education. health. social services, and municipal affairs. Women Today and The Women Teachers' Association expect to have a successful meeting on April 25. Members also believe that the pro- cess of planning the event is almost as important as the event itself. They want women to take notice of the pro- vincial election and realize that (hey do have democratic power in their vote. "This power is only effective if it is informed and used along with the op- portunities it creates to voice our con- cerns. As women we learn from one another as we work together to plan and discuss the issues in our lives. As we plan together we create a network of our talents. skills, knowledge and experience. The connections we make as we pool our efforts create a broader base of understanding and the potential for coordinated 'and ef- fective action." said Women Today member Nancy Mcleod. "Our committee invites any women Ckkon UpYouw Act; Pitch -In issues at who wish to help organize the meeting to contact Women Today (482-97061 to find ways to be Involved. Women in- terested in encouraging others to at- tend the meeting can pick up flyers from the Women Today office." She further noted, We also urge women to come to the Clinton Arena on April 25, at 8:00 p.m. Women who have difficulty in attending the meeting because of transportation or child care difficulties should phone the Women Today office. 482-9706 bet- ween 9-5 on Monday to Friday. Women Today's goal is to raise the status and awareness of women in Huron County which includes working towards social change and a more positive and equal treatment of women. Women Today has taken on this responsibility in the past. They are organizing this meeting "to demonstrate our continued commit- - ment to this task." Both Women Today and the Women Teachers' Federation of Ontario were supportive of the Ontario Women's Lobby Coalition who met with representatives of all three parties on December 12, 1984. The forum enabl- ed many women's organizations to question elected representatives on provincial policies of concern to women in Ontario. Major issues affec- Clinton ting women and families were ad- dressed including employment stan- dards, affirmative action, equal pay, child care, health care and extra bill- ing, abortion, midwifery, income sup- port for single mothers, pensions, family law, charter of rights statute audit and transition houses. The support of the Women's Lobby Coalition led Women Today to decide at their last quarterly membership meeting, held March 27 in Clinton, to hold an all candidates meeting in the riding of Huron -Middlesex. Women Today has a membership of over 120 women and men. "We speak for many, but of course, we do not claim to speak for all women in Huron County. What we are doing by holding this event is creating the opportunity for all women to have the forum to be informed and make an informed decision when they vote May 2," Ms. McLeod said. "We welcome men to come to this event, sincethe issues that affect The equality of women are often family issues and issues that also affect men. "Some of the issues that concern us, as an organization. are policies and legislation that affect the attainment of equality for women: in the workplace, in the home, and in the community." i ENJOYING THE BEEF Among the more than 650 people eating at one of the three sittings of the annual beef dinner at Hensall United Church were Liz Bowerman (left), Greg Dayman, Homer Camp- bell., Marilyn Campbell and Jason, Krista and Brenda Doyman.
