However, Calvin Finch, a supervisor in the Governor's Manpower Office, which administers the funds at the state level, said the allocation is Winona's regular CETA allocation.

county, Finch said, because its funding was running out Dec. 31, leaving 8 gap before the expectod allocations of the new funds voted by Congress last September. So Winona County's allocation was made about two weeks before those for everyone else. However, tne county knew how much money it had and bow long it had to last, Finch 2L He said he has received some angry letters from the city of Winona about its laid-off employes, but he said he was not particularly sympathetic to the city. It, too, knew the terms of the CETA program, he said.

The city had identified several of its CETA employes who were regarded as "essential" and thus eligible for permanent, city-paid jobs. This is the purpose of the CETA program, Finch said, training people to get permanent jobs, not subsidizing local governments. Vet when Nov. 30 rolled around, all 16 city workers were laid off and the local CETA office was not prepared to help them all get employment in private business, Finch said.

Miss Diane Fair, director of the Southeastern Cooperative Education Center, will work with principals and superintendents of the eight-member schools in developing an east-west concept for the center. The directive was given Wednesday following discussions by the about 100 persons attending the center meeting. The center presently has a satellite office in Grand Meadow, and "we will work but from there," Miss Fair said. Students from LeRoy Ostrander must be bussed about 40 miles to attend classes.

Letters of withdrawal, submitted last June by Chatfield and LeRoy Ostrander schools, will become effective July 1, 1977. Chatfield definitely has withdrawn from the program, Chatfield, 36 (should be sending 66), Grand Meadow, 37, Harmony, 33, Unesboro, 17, LeRoy-Ostrander, 29, Preston -Fountain, 58, Spring Valley, 52, $23,100, and Wvkoff, 28, $10,500. Also discussed Wednesday was the possibility of cooperating and sharing the expenses on more high cost programs such as advanced sciences, advanced physics, foreign languages, art and business in office. In grades 10 through 12 there are many areas where there are more electives. Miss Fair said, and offering a high school class with only five students enrolled is "kind of ridiculous." Chatfield Superintendent Robert Aarsvold, who has assisted with center management since its establishment in 1971, today termed the school's withdrawal as "basically an economic squeeze created by legislative action," "This is a situation where about five to seven years ago the state wanted everyone to have cooperative vocational programs which I agree with," Aarsvold said, "That was before they faced up to declining enrollments.

Depending on the size of the school, if the enrollment is between 300 and 400 and you take 20 to 30 students out, it hurts the regular instructional programs," Aarsvold said. He surmined there would be reevaluation and reorganisation and possibly centers would not just be vocational but educational cooperatives, and noted that languages, higher mathematics and other programs all have merits. The next meeting has been scheduled at the center Jan. 24 at 8 m. Ostrander said Wednesday the school would withdraw from the program unless something could be worked out on the east-west concept.

Lanesboro presented a letter of withdrawal in early December which will not become effective until July 1, 1978. Miss Fair said the withdrawal date is one year from the end of the school year current when the withdrawal is presented. The five remaining schools are Preston Fountain, Harmony, Grand Meadow, Spring Valley and Wykoff. The current budget, $207,000, is charged to the schools based on enrollment in grades 7 through 12 proportionately on how many students they could be sending. The set price per slot Is currently $350, Muss Fair said.

Finch noted that the Winona County allocation announced today is "greatly diminished from last year." The CETA program should not be looked on by local governments as a permanent employment program. It will be phased out as the economy improves, Finch said. Other counties planned differently, he noted, so they were not faced with the Dec. 31 run out of CETA funding Farm program offers practical application ST. PAUL, Minn.
