Even though the Ministry suggests that the new ceiling for elementary schools represents an 8.41% increase as compared with a 7.08% increa -se in the secondary, the actual difference is a backward not a forward step. For the coming year elementary grants will be $683 per pupil, an increase of $53 over last year, while the secondary grant will be $1210 per pupil an increase of $80 over last year. In money terms, the gap has widened again by $27. 1In actual classroom terms, the diff- erence will be reflected in class size, salar- ies and available period for preparation and evaluation of pupil programmes. The foregoing article was taken from the "fwtao newsletter 1973-74 Number 2" written by Florence Henderson. SPORTS SLANTS -By Ray Shank Apparently they had a playoff football game in Edmonton.I% weeks ago! I say apparently because I read about it in the newspapers. Under normal circumstances, I not only would have read about, but I would have enjoyed it in the comfort of my living room on the 'boob tube'. This one I didn't see and I don't think too many other people did. I've been acused of missing certain games because of severe cases of 'fogginess', but this time, the fog wasn't just a case of a hard day's night on the eve of the game. ~ When the TV announcer has to have each play relayed to him by the ground level cameraman, there's definitely something wrong. Somebody goofed in allowing that western final between Edmonton Eskimos and Saskatchewan to be played. The score was I2-6 in the first half, after an hour's play -- six field goals were kicked -- and I didn't see one of those three~point- ers split the uprights. Can you imagine an American tuning in on this type of game? Here the CFL has been try- ing to get the American networks to pick up some of our games, in order to put a few more ducats in their coffers, -and they go ahead and show (?) a game like that. It's bad enough that a few million sports fans were deprived of seeing the prelude to Canada's version of the Super Bowl (the Grey Cup). Now what about those Edmonton fans? There were 20,000 people who paid good money -- maybe 2,000 or 3,000 from Saskatchewan =-- to see this western final, but I'd bet my gum rubber boots very few got to see it. Of course, the ones who were uncorking and corking their bottles wouldn't give a damn. And you can be sure if the mercury is down to about zero, there was a lot of that going on. But certainly I5,000 of those people weren't innebriated and don't think they didn't put up a fuss about getting their money back after the game.
