Including The New Improied Patoran WHITE BEAN CONTRACTS Set Guide Lines 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. Correspondents Beata Malkus Marg Elligsen ELECTION '70 Last Thursday, May 21, was Election Day '70 at S.D.H.S.

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. COMMENT Mah goodness! Mah gracious!

That puts us right up there with all them big Noo York and Tor-on--toh schools where duh only kind of school -newsletter they do have are un- derground ones. Since the'demise of the "The ChalkStreet Journal" a few weeks ago, there have been a few events • v}ortliY ikirreitiee, but ftierb -1-W" t4ed for this sort of poorly-written, un- organized derogatory ' "effort. If the authors feel strongly enough about ' the 'manipulation of the -election' to protest, why don't they do it in a forthright, con- structive manner? Will this hole- in-the-wall, back-alley business inspire any confidence in the Stu- dents' Council Executive on the part of the student body? It is also remarkable to note that -the 'newspapers' were not openly distributed, but jarrimed into the lockers of selected recipients, that the articles' were 'unsigned (although' the identity of the ,edi- tor$ is khown to almost everyone) _and that the pee/31e involved in .this publication are not involved in any (or few) other student ac- tivities. eeeeeehesseeeessseeeme-seeisee..............
