Harry Bakker; Londesboro, and Gys Vanderhaar, R.R.2, Brucefield, made a strong pre- sentation of their case for co- operation with the Huron County Board, pointing out the great difficulties • under which the school operates. It has 203 pupils for whom their parents pay $12 per week, and receives no government support. After hearing the two delegat- es, who answered various per- tinent questions, the Board re- Nierred the requests to the Exec- utive Council for study and re- commendation. Mr.. Bakker, a prominent young chicken farmer of the Lon- desboro area; stated that the Calvin Christian School Society of Clinton owns and operates a six-roomed school on Princess Street, Clinton. It is non-paroch- ial, non-denominational, and its doors are open to the children of all parenjr,s2,Vho want their child 7„. ren to receive aistinctly,Christ- Ian education. "Why did we establish our scnool?...Our school exists , to educate young people to make a distinctive Christian contrib- ution to the growth and develop- ment of the community and the nation. BURNS CLEANER No Smoke, No Odour • HEATING Walden & Broadfoot Phone 527-1224 — Seaforth omilliftwoolnommioNlinftwoommail 'Mr. Bakker stressed the fin- ancial burden carried by support- ers of the school and in partic- ular, the tuition-paying parents. "en the basis of our right of existence as a school in this depocratic society and the size- able financial contribution that the supporters of our school make to Huron County, we would appeal to your Board to extend to our school many of the services provided for other schools under your jurisdiction," Mr. Bskker said. "(a) Txansporiation. Many of our children live on existing public, or separate school bus lines. Our request would be that your Board provide as a- ser- vice to our students, transport- ation to and from our school.., based on grants from the On- tario Department of Education. "(3), Opening, the library facilities of your schools to stud- qnts of our school." "I think there is a great misconception of our school here," Mr. Bakker Said. It is called a private school, but we believe it to be a public school, Christian in character. Governing body is the On- tario Christian School Alliance • which operates 46 schools with more than 8,000 students in the Province, with a fully qualified inspector. Gys Vanderhaar dealt with some .of the financial facts in - connection with operation of the school. He pointed out that the parents of the pupils attending the Calvin Christian SchOols in Ontario paid more than $900,000 in property taxes per year.' He felt the bill for transportation, should be met by the Depart- ment of Education as in the case of the other schools in th is field. "Why not send your child- ren to our schools?" James Tay- lor, Board member from Hen- sail, asked the delegate. "Why not yours to ours?" replied Mr. Vanderhaar. think the grant should go where the kids go." It was, costing the Calvin school $13,000 per year for pupil transportation. John B,Lavis, Clinton, Board chairman asked if all their Child- ien were- attending the Calvin Christian school. Mr. Van- derhaar said that not "many" were attending the regular. pub- lic schools. M. Levis' agreed that a Christian education was import- ant in today's world.

The Board also accepted the recommendation of the Hartley consulting firm that ridue.to the $250 deductible and the fact that only 53,000 of 1,152,000 square feet of floor area is over 20 years old, we feel that Dale's $3,800 premium for optional ex- tensions for glass, falling objec- ts, water escape, collapse from weight of snow, is '.excessive -and do not recommend that the Board purchase these extensions at this time."
