Ontario municipalities where the OHC rental units for families and 'nl'or citizens are located will no longer be required to pay: a 714 per cent share on the operating losses of the. units in their areas. Instead, the provincial payment of 421/ per cent will increased to 50 per cent and the federal goyeanment the other half.

Why are these things taking place? Two for- mer Members of Parliament have told me that Mr. Trudeau's goal is an all -French Canada. One of them, Mr. Leonard Jones, the former mayor of Moncton, said that the job is already done and that if English-speaking Canada doesn't stand up now, we've already lost to $62,662.45 in Huron, they will be only required tci pay one quarter of the 1980 losses and none 'thereafter. ` For Huron' County municipalities, this means their total 1980 bill of $77,200 will be lessened to $19,300. Clinton had expected to pay $9,700 this year, Bayfield was scheduled to pay $3,900 and Blyth's total figure was set at $4,900. Exeter's 1980 payment for the units was $7,400, Goderich was to pay $9,000, Seaforth was scheduled to pay $8,900, and Zurich's share was set at $5,100. The 1980 share for Brussels was to be $7,800, Lucknow was to pay --$4; 500 -and- Wingliaiu had the highest loss to cover in the county at $16,000. Housing Minister Claude Bennett explained that the move was made this country. I am. Suggesting that we stop worrying about Quebec, for Quebec has no intention of leaving the. Canada that it already controls. Instead we should now be declaring the nine provinces out- side of Quebec to be English-speaking, just as Quebec has declared itself to be French speaking. = Then let Quebec join us on our terms. If not.,we will be joining Quebec on its terms, and those, terms, with Mr. Trudeau as Catholic school board sets budget by Wilma Oke • The Huron -,.Perth Coupty Roman Catholic Separate School Board established its 1980 budget at a special meeting in Dublin. Monday night. The total budget was set at • $5,220,05'4, an in- crease of $266,500 or 5.4 percent over its 1979 expenditures. Provincial grants and miscellaneous revenue will provide 80.2 percent of the 1980 budget, compared with 82.6 percent' in 1979. Local taxpayers will be required to contribute 19.8 percent of this year's budget, up from 17.4 percent in 1979.

Plans include "islands" along the main streetwith planters, trees, trash cans, drinking fountains and special lights. One -of the main at- tractions for these islands is a special one at the two banks on main street where a larger area will be set out in the street.

Ministry approval is required, but the board is hopeful that this assistance will be avaailableto employ high 'school students during July and August. The mill rate as set results in an increase for ratepayers, which on average will cost a homeowner an additional $19.25 in 1980. 'In commenting on the budget Jack Lane, superintendent of business and finance, said the provincial share of education costs con- tinues to decrease im- posing financial burdens on local taxpayers beyond those caused by inflation. Board chairman, Ronald Marcy, Stratford, stated, "The budget is bare bones -- as tight as' can be." Remarked' Finance Chairman, • Gregory Fleming, Crediton, "Too tight!"
