That was the question put before 1.598 Jehovah's Witnesses and friends assembled at Norval this past weekend. The speaker, K. McCann, District Supervisor, went on to show from the Bible that "worship of the true God Jehovah deserves the greatest prominence in our lives, and such devotion brings peace regardless of nationalistic pressures existing in many parts of the world. "Such devotion, too, in- spires confidence that God will not fail in his,tpurpose to destroy the wicked system and usher in His righteous new order," McCann con- tinued. The assembly theme, "Become doers of the Word", was highlighted throughout, as the program placed em- phasis on teaching Bible truths in the homes of the people. The 55 rn,embers of the Clinton Congregation, together with Hari McNally, presiding overseer; ' were amongst the enthusiastic audience who witnessed the baptism of 31 new Witnesses.

The Mtn' budget for the YOar WAS approved at $18;428$454* an increase of $2,330,1$0 from the actual expenditures in 1975. It amounts to 14.47 per cent, In the last two months, the board in supporting the Ontario government's request for restraint in vending, slashed expected Wendituresdrastically in three areas. The cast of education services was reduced by 31 per cent, operating expenses were down by 22 per.cent and non-operating costs were slashed by 13 percent. About 50 members of councils from ,Huron municipalities attended the budget approval meeting and participated in a question and answer period. Board chairman Herb Turkheim, in opening the budget discussion said, "we have done our utmost to pare our budget to the bare bones and to cut any more would be irresponsible." He continued. "I would emphasize that the cutbacks we have effected will not harm the education of our young people. Drastic as it may seem, we feel that with the co-operation of school staffs, students, parents and municipalities, the board will continue to provide a sound educational system of which we can all be proud."

"When Ave *ere advised that the rate Of support would be reduced to 60 per centand 54 per cent at the elementary Old secondary school levels respectively, we were already faced with salary contracts thathad been negotiated eight months previously and tenders for school supplies had been called." In 1975, government sup- port was 62 per cent in both the elementary and secon- dary school panels. The board chairman continued, "We, as a Board believe that restraints are necessary if our economy I, to be saved but are concerned' that the lead time given to us by the government was a minus quantity." Chairman of the budget committee, John Elliott of Blyth. said that provincial grants will account for 71 per cent of revenue for the board compared with 75 per cent in 1975. Elliott continued. "The reduction in level of assistance will cost the board close to -$860,000." The budget committee recommended and the board approved the transfer of an existing working fund reserve fund of 3200,000 to be used to reduce the requisition from municipalities.

At the same time. Hill, who is chairman of the board's negotiation committee. said teachers' salaries accounted for about 75 per cent of in- structional costs, which are increasing by 32,435,344. Trustee Dorothy Wallace of Goderich asked, "If nothing is being spent on capital expenditure. what does this do to our equipment supplies, etc.?" Superintendent of business affairs.

For one year the situation should not be toe bad, -and we will continue with essential maintenance,only.- • Director •W``' education John Cochrane added.
