By PATTI DUFFY RHHS Correspondent Telephone 884-7837 Girls’ Gymnastics Team In Georgian Bay Competition April 11 » Well, we’re finally back at school, after the ong teachers strike. .Actually it feels to me as 'f we never left, since activities and classwork are ack to normal now. A lot of time was spent in he school during the strike, however, because ortunately we had gymnastics under staff super- ision. That was very enjoyable and beneficial too, since not only did it prevent boredom, but we adly needed that time to prepare and hopefully erfect the routines needed for interschool compâ€" tition. The girls gymnastics team consisting f 14 competing members will travel to Huron eights Secondary in Newmarket for the Georg- an Bay competition on April 11. The southern York and York County meets ere both cancelled due to, what else, the strike. 0 RHHS will represent the majority of York ounty at the Georgian Bay meet. The uneven ars, trampoline, parallel bars, balance beams and ox horses were set up in the gym and we’re ery grateful for the time and use of the equip- ent. Since apparently we were the only school n York County with this opportunity, two tele- ision networks sent cameras to the school and HHS gymnastics made the news. DRAMA CLUB The drama club was also busily at work in he school during the strike, preparing and re- earsing for this year’s production of “She Stoops o Cdnquer” by Oliver Goldsmith. Directed by . Roy Clifton, this very enjoyable play will run pril 17 through 20 in the school auditorium and ickets are $2. and $1. for adults and students espectively. It was the same story in la second game March 30 ,a a 6-4 count. |i|| Carpenters Win ’tay Alive In Series Due to the long break, the remaining games n the boys’ basketball schedules were cancelled n mid-season unfortunately, so as it is now (ork County doesn’t officially have a final team tanding. There were many students in the school who vere lucky enough to acquire quite a tan during he break as a result of either snow skiing, sun iathing or just sight-seeing. ‘ Many students travelled to places like the ahamas, Florida, Colorado and Banff. As well here were three student trips to Greece, Ger- any and Russia which from all enthusiastic eports, were everything the students had hoped em to be. Wonder if Munich is anything like ur beautiful suburban Richmond Hill? ANNUAL RHHS PROM The RHHS Annual Prom which was origin- lly planned for April 5 had to be cancelled, or it least postponed. This is disappointing for the .ain reason that. cancellation was due to the emingly constant existence of student apathy. he project failed after a lot of hard work and ng planning on the part of the dance committee airman Paul Jones. He sent out individually ddressed letters to every student in the school lling them about the prom and urging them to uy tickets as soon as possible. The student uncil is going to make an attempt to plan ithin the next week or two (another prom) and y to get rid of some of this apathy. VARIETY NIGHT Planning for RHHS’ annual Variety Night ill begin very soon. It is hoped many students 'ill come out and put to use some of that talent rewing inside them. The yearbook people are also doing very well napping picture after picture and putting every- ing together. It seems we will have a really ood yearbook when it is finished. A lot of hard ork and organization goes into as large a pro- ct as this. Much credit goes to Marion Babcock nd Liz Miller who are handling it very well, nd also to all others involved in this work. Well it’s god to have ow all we need to do is ack to work! But since w fe at RHHS goes on . . Sapere Aude CORRESPONDENT: MRS. CHAS.

With the “unusual and un- certain" condition of market in farm produce, particularly beef. this looks like the year for farmers to ‘push for the best possible yields of home- grown grain and to adjust livestock numbers to levels that can be supported on home-grown feed. advises York Region Agricultural Representative A1 Wall, Normally beef would have been last on the list for fede- ral subsidy, says Wall, but nothing seems to be normal these days. Beef prices went down. imports went away up, and a subsidy was put into the works for the best Grade "A" carcasses. Because of the market uncer- tainty, meat producers keep going with short term plans, keeping as many options as possible open. Pork prices are off, too, Wall reports, compared to feed and other costs. and pork producers are ready to sell grain instead of hogs on a moment's notice. Price and market problems are usually caused by surplu- ses or shortages. but there By BOB ROSS JR.

And to keep up with inflationary trends in food costs â€" an es- sential and large portion of everyone's budget -â€" sub- sidies are being used to head off any real upsets in the economy as a whole. Wall observes. There are now sub- sidies in wheat, milk, dairy products, as Well as gas and oil. “It's hard to know who really gets the benefits from subsidies," says Wall. “Withâ€" out them. consumers would pay higher prices for food and producers would likely have -to sell for less. The share for each side could vary from one product to another and could change from one time to another." No one really likes sub-‘ sidies, and farmers like them less than any other group,¢ Wall declares. “They involve} a strong political influence! on price setting and crgatei an Artificial mirket situation.

RICHMOND CURLING CLUB HILL "Sparky" Pro ves Popular Choice THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Wednesday, April 3, 1974 25 Has your Hydro account got you a little puzzled because it's a little higher than usual? Any number of conditions can cause changes in your Hydro accounts as rendered every two months on the average. Greatest use of hydro is generally experienced during the Winter months. Winter has its longer periods of darkness and the heating season. Sustained hot, dry weather during the Summer is generally re- flected in increased water use. LIGHTING â€" HOUSE HEATING â€" Electricity is used to operate associated forced air systems, burners, circulating pumps, controls, supplementary heating, and so on. The colder and more prolonged the Winter months, the greater use of both electricity, and fuel. ADDITIONAL NEW APPLIANCESâ€" Such as a television, range, dryer, refrigerator, freezer, radio, hi-fi, air conditioner, etc., will geneally result in the increased use of Hydro. THE FAMILY â€" An increase in the number is generally reflected in an increase in Hydro. ENTERTAINMENT AND COMPANYâ€" The greater use of electricity for cooking, lighting, washing, drying, ironing, television, and so on. CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARSâ€" Preparations and festivities are usually accompanied by the increased use of electricity. ILLNESS IN THE HOMEâ€" . Heat lamps, heating pads, and supplementary heating can the cause of increased electricity use. UNNECESSARY USE â€" Lights and appliances left on when not required can cause changes in accounts. ELECTRICITY METERS ARE TESTEDâ€" 4 Electricity meters are tested and sealed as to accuracy by the Standards Branch, Canada Department of Consumer and Corporate Affairs.
