Board of Education and Clinton
to reach tennis court agreement
A formal agreement must be set up
between the Huron County Board of
Education and Clinton before the
Vanastra ball....

coverage on a payroll of $91,000 at $1.55
for a cost of $1,910.50.
Council has prepared a l;iy-law, through
the township lawyer covering demolition
of buildings in the township giving
council the authority to demand that all
debris be cleaned up. Council has been
plagued by unsightly sites where the
valuable material has been taken by the
man tearing down a building and the rest
left in dangerous piles. A $1,000 per-
formance bond is required and this will
be returned in full if the demolition is
carried out to council's satisfaction
within a specified time.
All mobile home park operators are
now required to complete a building
permit application prior to moving a
home onto a site and to complete other
necessary forms before any taxes are
refunded when one leaves a site.
The clerk reported that the Ontario
Ministry of Community and Social
Services had approved the 1977 Vanastra
Day Care budget of $51,207.
town can accept the responsibilities of
the new proposed tennis courts.
Recreation committee member, Ron
McKay noted that if the town and the
school board would reach an agreement,
then applications for grants could be
sent in. The discussion was raised at the
committee's regular meeting on May 12.
Already CHSS, the location for the
courts, has raised $8,000 and has another
$2,000 in pledges to put towards the use
of the courts. The cost to build the tennis
courts has been estimated at $30,000.
Suggestions are now being made for
the construction of two more courts and
another money raising project may help
this.
However, for the initial courts, while
the Wintario grant will come in soon, the
Recreation Centre Act Grant won't come
through until next year. The rec. com-
mittee discussed the possibilities of
loaning some $8,00Q for the courts.
Along with the tennis courts, Cleo
Colquhoun noted that there is a need for
more baseball diamonds, especially for
practises.
Dean Reid spoke with the Board of
Education on this and the rec. com-
mittee now plan to repair a diamond at
the public school. The diamond, in the
north-east corner, needs to be levelled
with a grader, have stone dust applied
and dragged.
Colquhoun also noted. that screen
would have to be fixed, otherwise
baseballs would be lost in a corn field
behind the diamond. The estimated cost
of the repairs will be about $.1,000.
The need for the extra diamond is a
result of the sooCer teams having too
much practice time on thearena park
fields, Colquhoun said, noting that her
baseball team couldn't find anyplace to
practice on Monday nights. There was
no room available at the public school,
CHSS or the Christian school.
In other business, Frank MacDonald
noted that the minor soccer players are
taking their cars into the centre field of
the community park.
Clarence Neilans explained that there
is a sign forbidding this but it is barely
visible. Another sign, disallowing cars to
cross the track, will be put up on the
fence.
In another portion of the meetin,
Neilans noted that the Centennial
Committee still owes the PUC some
$2,300. It was suggested that the
welcome home sign be sold to Blyth .for
their centennial celebrations, but Dean
Reid noted that it would only go for $200.
He went on to say that the committee
should go to the Town of Clinton with
their problems, not the rec. committee.

Farmers are least subsidized group
Farmers are one of the least sub-
sidized groups in Canada members of
the Christian Farmers Federation were
told recently.
"Consumers think we are one of the
most subsidized industries," Huron -
Middlesex MPP Jack Riddell told the
meeting in Clinton. "We know that such
a notion isn't true, but I don't know how
we can get our message across."
Riddell said agriculture was sub-
sidized at the rate of one half of one
percent compared to manufacturing
industry which is subsidized between 19
and 20 percent.
-The Blair Commission recom-
mendation that the government pay 90
percent of the taxes on farm land would
only reinforce the view that farmers
aren't paying their way, he said.
The Liberal agricultural critic told the
Christian Farmer,s Federation, now the
second largest farm organization in
Ontario, the tax reform proposals are
only another step in Ontario towards
centralization.
"I don't want to get political, but we
are getting a little sick of what's going
on, Mr. Riddell said.
Mr. Riddell said there was • no data
available on what market value
assessment and other reforms would do
to individual taxes or municipal
assessment generally.
"Detailed assessment figures should
have been released before the Blair
Commission hearings started," he said.
"We really think they have the cart
before the horse "
Riddell said the Liberal party position
was taxes on land should be paid for
services to land, abut not for services to
people. The present rebate system of 50
percent of the land taxes was, "a more
reasonable system" than the new

system proposed, he said.
Non-profit and charitable
organizations should still be exempt
from taxes. Riddell said.
"If these organizations are taxed it
will erode the spirit of voluntarism.
Members will be more concerned about
raising money to pay taxes instead of
doing work," he said.
Riddell explained this might lead to
the government having to take over
some services now supplied by service
clubs, which would cost the taxpayer
more than the taxes collected from these
organizations.
The Huron -Middlesex MPP said he
was fearful the Blair, Cotnmission
recommendations might be passed after
the Provincial election was over. He said
tax reform was necessary though.
"There has to be reform," he said,
"There is no question about that."
