of three-year-old John Jordan entering

until two Parry Sound District Lands and
Forest men enquired if a deer had been
seen since they had a report about dogs
chasing one. Upon investigation of a trail,
it followed right to the woodshed. Des-
pite. the dogs and the three-year-old's

For Capital Needs
EffeCtive' with the 1971 budget,
the Huron County Board of Edu-
cation has agreed that the final
decision regarding order of
priority, in the purchasing of ca-
pita equipment will be left to the
principals, as long aS the sum
'total of such itemils within the
approved budget and does not ex-
ceed the $2,000 limit.
At the present time, the prin-
cipal prepares his budget and
submits it to the administrative
staff. The budget is revised• and
certain deletions are made. The
dollar value of the budget is pre-
sented to the Board and• additional
deletions are recommended. The
principal justifies, in writing, to
the executive council the need for
a particular item of capital equip-
ment and the executive council
endorses or denies the request.
If approved by the executive coun-
cil, the item of equipment is
ordered by the purchasing de-
partment.
Under the new policy, each
principal will, be advised of the
items the senior administrative
staff think should be eliminated
from the budget, but the princi-
pals will have• the final decision
regarding the order in which the
items approved in the budget
should be purchased.
John Broadfoot noted that the
present policy regarding rental
of school facilities to public or-
ganizations Was too loose and de-
finite guidelines were required
which could be followed in the
various municipalities in the
county.
Broadfoot said that interpre-
tation was different in different
schoOls.
The suggestion followed dis- •
cusSion on two resolutions pre-
sented to the colinty board by the '
Huron County Federation of Agri-
eulture requesting that the F of A
in Huron be pertnitted to use the
schools free of extra charge and
•tha.t "School facilities be made
available free of charge (except
Where • a Caretaker is deemed
tiedeSSary) to any group of res-
ponsible taxpayers for purposes
Of eleetingS and recreation." ,
The Beard agreed to keep
these resolittitthe ifi mind when a
Revised Policy on Community
Use 'of Schools is considered for
possible implementation in Sep-
tember.
Although Roy B. Dunlop, su-
perintendent of business affairs
presented a report on the varia-
tion in costs for driver education
in the five secondary schools in
the county, the board agreed not
to make any decision on the mat-
ter until figures were received
from this year's operation at the
end of June.
Mr. Dunlop, noted that "-be-
Cause of inconsistencies in ac-
county procedure during 1969,
there is a strong possibility that
these figures are not accurate".
He said a more reliable compari-
son would be for the first six
months of 1970, as coding was
done by the same personnel.
The board also learned of the
following resignations: Mrs. Re-
nee Botterbusch, Holmesville PS;
Mrs. Flora E. Fear, Blyth PS;
Mrs. Sandra M. Gower, Colborne
Central _School; Mrs. June Mc-
Kiernan, Hensall PS; John May-
nard, Central Huron SS; Mrs.
Ghislaine Parent, ClintoD PS.;
Terence Smith, Richard Fleming,
Miss Diane Thompson and Mrs.
Eleanor Ward, F.E. Madill SS;
and • Mrs. J. A. Wilkinson, Vic-
toria PS.
Approval was also given for
fences to be installed at Hullett
PS; Howick Central PS; Central
Huron SS; Brussels PS; and Ro-
bertson Memorial PS, Goderich.
Before a new fence is installed,
it is understood the true pro-
perty line should be established,
marked with a' suitable bench
marker and the new fence line
staked for the contractor.
During the question periods
Mrs. Shirley J. Keller, Huron
County Weekly reporter, noted
that the salary of each superin-
tendent was $21,000 and asked if
Roy B. Dunlop was nets/receiving
a superintendent's salary since
being named superintendent of
business affairs. She was told that
Mr. bunlop's salary had been
raisedto $21,000. Since his salary
had been $17,000 the raise Mitt'.
tuted a $4,000 per ant ins pay hike.

lou" on Monday and Tuesday of
this week. Along with this show,
they featured their prize-winning
film, "What is Life?" We have
enjoyed all the Cine Club's pro-

ment programme next year.
VARIETY NIGHT
Our big night of the year was
last night, May 27. Although it has
not yet taken place as this is being
written, we have a fair idea of
what will have gone on stage.
The Drama Society's one-act
'melodrama "Egad, What aCad!"
is one of the highlights of the pro-
gramme. The cast of the play in-
cludes Joanne de Groot, Darlene
Elligsen, Marg Elligsen, Doug
Hoover, Jim Rowat, PatRyan and
Dale Shantz. It is directed by
Dianne McKay and the staff re-
presentative is Miss Joan Batten.
Also 'on the bill' for the eve-
ning waL.the Glee Club conducted
by Miss Mary Leeming, assisted
by Miss Larissa Tymchyshyn.
The choir has chosen songs from
the popular musical "Fiddler on
the Roof". Soloists Marianne Se-
geren, Dena Wey and Marg Ellig-
sen sang selections of their own
choice. The accompanist for the
Glee Club is Miss Chris Delaney.
Other highlights of the evening
were gymnastics performed by
the boys' Phys.Ed classes and
directed by Mr. Ken Reidy, and
some selections by the Girls'
Trumpet Band led byGeorgeHil-
debrand. The evening was 'em-
ceed' by Mr. L. P. Plumsteel. We
hope everyone enjoyed the pro-
gramme.
