School authorities and bus operators will be involved in special safety programs. The theme for 1982, proposed by the Canada Safety Council, is "Get Involved!". The Council believes all Canadians can contribute to a safer environment for school dhildren: teachers, school bus drivers, parents, the general public, and the children themselves, should become involved. Parents have a special role because many school bus drivers say lack of discipline is one problem that affects safety on and around the school bus. When away from home, children learn from the example of their peers and older children they see daily, and what they learn may not always be desirable. Consequently, parents and teachers need to reinforce the rules ef school bus safety. The bus driver must keep full attention on the task of driving; and should not have to deal with discipline problems at the same time. The Canada Safety Council says parents should take time to learn and understand how the school bus system operates, and should discuss with children the role of the driver, how to combat peer pressure, while ensuring that each child un- derstands the various safety rules. What Canadian children learn now, as school bus passengers, will later be reflected in their attitudes as drivers, so the ramifications of school bus safety go far beyound the appearance, down the street, of "big yellow". Jogger turned flasher indecent exposure the crime Penetanguishene police have a good description of a flasher who indecently exposed himself Monday night on Main Street in the town. The man, dressed in a jogging outfit, reportedly asked a number of females for a cigarette before "jogging" up behind two of them to expose himself. At the time of the incident the man had placed a balaclava over his head and face so as to conceal his identity. Police Chief Dennis Player doesn't think Monday night's flasher was the same man who exposed himself two weeks ago in the town. Where do local tax dollars go? Basic services In Ontario, about 50 per cent of local property tax revenue goes to school boards. Other basic services provided by municipalities, such as transportation, police, fire and social services, take up the rest of the money Ontario is a province of broad contrasts, and its 838 municipalities range in needs from Metropolitan Toronto with over two million residents to Cockburn Island Township in Manitoulin, which has only two permanent residents. In most of Ontario's municipalities, the same basic services are needed to keep the community's wheels turning smoothly: transportation, fire and police protection, social services, environment, culture and recreation, planning and HURONIA CALENDAR Oct. 15 Midland Curling Club is holding its fifth an- nual boys' night out, Starting at 8 p.m. Oct. 16 Rocky Shores District of the Girl Guides are having a craft and bake sale at Huronia Mall from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Garage, bake sale from 10 a.m. to noon in Parish Hall, Church Street, Penetanguis- hene, by Ladies' Guild of St. James' Church On-the-Lines.

SERVICES Total local spending to pay for all these services was $1076 billion in 1980, an_in- crease of 10.3 per cent over 1979. Of this, total shending for school boards increased by 9.7 per cent to $4.5 billion in 1980. Fifty per cent of local tax dollars goes to educate young Ontarians; 12 per cent to the cost of tran- Sportation - moving around the community for work or recreation; nine per cent to protection services - fire and police; nine per cent to social services - health, family care and aid to those on welfare assistance; 7.5 per cent to the upkeep of roads, bridges, fences, sewers and water supplies; 5.5 per cent to culture and recreation - parks and playgrounds, _ livraries and arenas; and 1.5 per cent to planning and development activities.

These grants make up about 30 per cent of municipal revenue.
