. Deputy-reeve Eugene Firayne
introduced members of the Grade
7 and 8 class from Kingsbridge
Separate School Friday morning,
February 26 at the regular
session of Huron CountyCouncii.
The • students were at the
county session on the invitation of
Mr. Frayne who wanted the young
people to witness first hand the
workings of the democratic
system,
Mr. Frayne had met with
the students, in their class-
room and had tried to impress
upon them the need to learn how
to 'speak freely and easily in
order to express your opinions
and the hope that each one of them
would have a desire to vote when
they were of age to have that
privil0 •,Te.
"I find it an appalling satia-
tion that so few people exercise
their right to vote," Reeve
Frayne said. "People haVen't
taken any lesson from other
countries. I heard a priest say
that Christianity was in more
danger because of indifference
than because of communism or
any ether -ism. L./think that
goes for politics, too."
Mr. Frayne told county
council of . the Kingsbridge
schOol's project to bring 22
Indian children from Moose
Factory to live in the commun-
ity for a few days in May. The
same number of Kingsbridge
young people will return to
Moose Factory for a visit to
live with those families in their
homes.
He said the exchange will
cost each School participating
about $700 or $800. The
Indian children have already
,raised the necessary funds while
the Kingsbridge Shields are
still Working on the project.
