federation has been stead-
fast in its support of the
changes.
However Mr. Armstrong
emphasized that his group
does not want to drive a
wedge into the federation.
"Our, argument is not with
the OFA as such," he ex-
plained. "We're just trying
to say, 'We think you'vehad
a snow job done on you.
Listen to what the people are
saying. The farmer does not
want this'."
He noted that an eight -man

Huron federation to bring
back a recommendation on
the tax proposal has cop -
eluded that, on the basis of
�
-poll and an open -line radio
show, "there is outspoken
opposition to the proposed
100 per cent tax reduction
program."
As a result, the task force
recommends that the
federation oppose the
government's plan to pay 100
per cent of the tax on farm
land and buildings.
"I think the -chances of
killing this thing are ex-
cellent — improving every
hour," he concluded.
While he opposes the
proposal to rebate all
property taxes related to
farm land and buildings, he
supports the existing
program, which rebates 50
per cent of all farm property
taxes, including those on the
farm dwelling, even though
it has been argued that the .
net effect of the change
would in most cases not
amount to much money.
"We're dealing with not
dollars and cents but prin-
ciple," he said. "The prin-
ciple (of the 100 per cent
rebate) is not right."
In townships around this
area, approximately 53 per
cent of the total money
raised through property

In these.inflationaly times an increased
deductible on collision coverage might be easier
to bear than the high monthly cost of a low
deductible. If your car is older you might be
wise to eliminate collision coverage altogether.
Then there are often extra savings with multiple
car discounts.
.To find out where you stand talk to one
of the LB.AO. insurance brokers listed below
Is there a difference between and I.B.A.O.
broker and an agent?
Yes there is. An agent works directly for one
insurance company. An LB.AO. broker is
independent and unbiased.
Your broker is able to choose a policy
that gives you the right coverage at the
right price...making sure you're not under-
insured or over -insured and that your interests
are well represented when you come to
making a claim.
So call your broker and ask if he
or she is a member of the I.B.A.
taxes goes to education, he
said, and it is right that farm
land should not have to pay
this tax. "Education is a
people tax, and should be
removed from land. That's
why we accept a 50 per cent
rebate — a rebate of the
educational portion."
However land does require
services such as roads and
fire and police protection,
and it should pay for them.
He said he would like to see
the OFA keep pushing its
argument that land should
pay for services to land while
people pay for services to
people, and he sees its
support for the Timbrell
proposal as a "turnaround".
Huron
ncipals
tran
Some secondary school
principals in Huron County
will be transferred to accom-
modate the vacancy at God-
erich District Collegiate In-
stitute when its principal re-
tires in June.
The Huron County Board
of Education approved the
transfers at its April 5 meet-
ing.
In the shuffle, Seaforth
District High School will be
left without a principal. The
position is to be filled from
within the system.
Only F. E. Madill Sec-
ondary School, Wingham,
principal R. P. Ritter will
stay at his present school.
The transfers involve
Central Huron Secondary
School, Clinton, with Herb
Murphy going to GDCI,
South Huron District High
School, Exeter, with Princi-
pal J. L. Wooden going to
CHSS and Seaforth High
School with Principal B. F.
Shaw going to South Huron
District High School.
Initially the board had ad-
vertised both provincially
. and internally for the posi-
tion of GDCI principal. The
board accepted the resigna-
tion for retirement purposes
for John Stringer at its
March meeting. His retire-
ment is effective June 30.
Sixteen applications for
the position were received,
five from within the Huron
system. The position was of-
fered to an outside person
but rejected. The proposal of
transferring ---present princi-
pals was then recommended
to the board.

blight, which is spread by an
organism which can remain
in the soil for up to 30 years.
Because of this, the
committee has chosen to
plant little -leaf lindens and
red oaks, two varieties
recommended for town
planting, instead of maples
this year.
The total cost of pur-
chasing and planting the 50
trees is over $1,800, with the
balance being donated by the
horticultural society.
To ensure a continuing
program of tree main-
tenance ' and replacement,
council agreed to create an
account in the parks budget
for °it and to provide suf-
ficient funding for the
planting as well as having an
expert do an assessment 'hof
the existing old trees.
At the opening of the
council meeting, Dick Elliott
of the Wingham District
Optimist Club attended to
ask whether the club could
get the wood from all the
trees cut by the works
department. He said club
members would split the
wood and sell it as a fund-
raising project.
Mr. Crump told him the
town was considering selling
the wood itself, but council
agreed to refer the matter to
the works committee for a

decision at its meeting April
14.
Mr. Elliott said the club
would like the wood trucked
to one location where
members could work on it,
but this should not add to the
town's costs since the wood
is already being trucked to
various locations.
Mayor William Harris
inquired whether the club
would be prepared to pay $35
per tree to cover the costs of
replacement. Mr. Elliott was
unwilling to agree to that.
though he said the club
might be willing to make
some donation to the hor-
ticultural society.
He also rejected a
suggestion from Mr. Crump
that it could return a per-
centage of its profits from
the sale to the town for the
replanting program. He said
the Optimists don't want to
get involved in a percentage
formula, since they would
prefer that not too many
people know what they are
making from the sale.
Mr. Crump suggested the
club should be able to make
betvi'een $100 and $150 per
tree, which Mr. Elliott
agreed was probably not far
out of line.
He pointed out that the
money raised would go back
into the community through
the club's various projects.
