the york county board of education remains unwilling to cut its 1976 budget we say unwilling because unlike some trustees the tribune feels that the budget can and should be cut to a reasonable level there is no doubt that 1976 is the year of gratitude for job well done the local library board made quite a find whenthey hired lynne robbins two years ago to revamp the decrepit library system in fact calling it a system is grossly overstating the condition of the library when mrs robbinsjook over she offered energy enthusiasm ad- ministrative skill and fresh ideas the library was moved to a new location and approval received for a new library building the number of people using the library has in- creased substantially in just over a year and half now she is leaving it was inevitable that a personwith her qualifications should not stay in a small library for very long she goes to the city of toronto library system 1 shehas done a minor miracle in stouff ville in two short years the area owes her many thanks for a job welldone the big crunch the day of reckoning has arrived it surprises us that the provincial tap was not shutoff sooner instead the board is up to its ears in experimental programs most of them funded principally with provincial money however on the local level there must be a v way to cut a budget that totals almost 70 million if that budget is approved with only minor cuts the tax increase could be as high as 30 per cent on the education levy the in crease cannot be less than 16 per cent with such a budget figure on top of probable increases in regional and local levies the proposed budget is just not acceptable the trustees should realize that the taxpayers are just not going to take such an increase lying down the grim imperative is that the budget must be cut down one area that could well be trimmed is in the number of people employed by the board teachers and staff should be reduced in certain areas while still not creating any real problem in the classrooms to our knowledge such action has never been considered v the trustees have a tough job ahead of them but those who feel a real responsibility to the electorate will makeuptheir minds to the work at hand the board should roll up its sleeves and make the necessary cuts if trustees fail todo this they may find i themselves unemployed after this coming decembers elections local artist charles creasey has been concentrating on sketches of local buildings in recent months one of his drawings is this goodwood home built sometime between 1850 and 1860 by a m

students at stouffville dist secondary school pitched in during recent heavy snowfalls to shovel porches and walks for senior citizens unable to do the work u themselves c v the senior citizens had only to call the high school and students were dispatched- although much is said about rebellious r young people these days the students in- volved aretruly doing their good jdeedv for thbselessfortiiriate v wecommend such public spirited efforts the present setuplooks good because one person has been hired to teach most of the i courses all of them will be offered regardless of the number of people enrolled in that way only one person will be on salary the program will still be able to use the lip grant approved earlier by the federal governmentit was a matter of some pain that the original plan did not work out however the project is not in doubt s those tories are something this column will not appear until after their convention but im still going around shaking my head in amused perplexity theme of the convention seemed to be healing old wounds this phrase came up again and again as the blood from the old wounds oozed steadily paying ho attention tone of the convention aside from the theme seemed to be open new wounds and they were visible pouring fourth fresh blood not all the- pious proclamations of solidarity working together and were-

the courses with its own ef forts in the area althoughsome bugs had to be ironed out the program which is a good idea is now coming to fruition it is our hope that people in the area will show greater interest in the courses being offered it is an experimental thing in many respects if local interest is not keen then it will not be repeated registrations are still operf for courses including weaving decoupage papier mache batik stitching crochetting drawingpainting and making of traditional costumes i it is up to us to take advantage of these courses n j elsstie plaii unacceptable messers gino testa and clay clouter the betliesda rd property is just not a i by the timethis appears inprintthave no doubt that joe clark the new leader slick as a seal when he took over will look more like

stanfield was stepping down after eight harrowing years trying to get a crowd of mavericks to make sense hes the best leader the party has had since robert borden so what do they do as a zippy opening for the convention they hold a laudatory dinner for john diefenbaker who has made things as difficult as possible for stanfield since the flatter beat him put for thejeadership mr diefenbaker needed

moveshe showed that anyone can undergo mental stress and that the best thing to do is recognize the fact acknowledge it freely and seek help- j statistics show that one canadian in eight at one time or another undergo psychiatric treatment mental stress is much more common than is generally believed and much of it has its foots in problems of day-to- day living- x because of this perhaps the best hope for early detection and treatment lies in the community j in ontario during the past 10 years there has been a shift away from the old pattern of psychiatric care in institutions and from what might be termed a policy of out of mind out of sight last yearfewer than 6000 patients were resident in psychiatric institutions- in this province compared to 16000 in i960 s- the trend now is towards treatment in the community and in psychiatric departments of 4 general hospitals with the emphasis fadng placed more frequently on outpatient cafe population arjia of 30000 in on- tario now has a psychiatric facility staffed fn additiorito jpsychjatfistsby othert trained mental health association is a national voluntary citizens organization working to alleviate mental illness and to promote mental health it has 29 branches in ontario and each branch works in cooperation with local psychiatric hospitals and other mental health service delivery facilities 1 the task of each branch is to educate people about mental health encouraging early recognition and treatment of problems that without professional intervention- might become more serious many of thebranches provide hospital visiting services rehabilitation services transportation and social events for the discharged patient seeking recreational or 1 provide a referral service for persons in need of community mental health services often the difference between the two states of mental illness and mental health has to do with coping or rioteoping with life and as dr harvey brooker- a psychologist- at torontos clarke institute of psychiatry points out theres a very thin line between v the two v v so if you think you may have a problem dont be afraid to talk about it and seek help for assistance ihthe
