program cuts,” Friesen said. “The impact will be felt by children throughout all the grades.”

Although the government has asked school boards to re-submit budgets under the hew restraint program, the legislation making the program effectrve has not yet been passed.

Frnesen asked the board to postpone its amended budget untul the legislaton has indeed been passed.

The board told Fnesen it will consider the request.

NO HOMEWORK

The idea is, basically. don't tum in your new math budget homework until you absolutely have to.

One reason ts that the cuts may not be passed in the same form in which they have been proposed, Fnesen said.

“It's possible there might also be a different govern ment,” he added.

If and when budget cuts are enacted decisions to cul programs or jobs will have to made without help from teachers.

The decision was taken Monday aftemmoon in the largest meetng ever held by the NVTA. Over 380 teachers came out to take a stand against the cuts.

How many jobs could be lost through the restraimts 1s not yet known.

The B.C. School Trustees Association has also declared its refusal to send a budget to Victona until the restraint bill was already passed

Firefighters borrowed a rowboat from a neighbor at 6261 Taylor Place. who assisted with the rescue. Firemen used a hfeline to get down the chff and reach the boy and helped him into the rowboat, where he was taken to safety

But it asked its members to pas eady them- selves for the new economics by developing alternatives in the distncts.

The biggest impact of the cuts will be seen in 1983, when a nse of only 12 per

cent over 1982 expenditures will be allowed.

This could amount to cutbacks in education worth three to four milhon dollars, according to Len Berg secretary-treasurer of the North Van School Board.
