Council, at its regular meet- ing, Monday night, adopted a budget that resulted in rates of 121.41 mills commercial and 114.41 mills residential. The lower tax rate reflects the- rti- corporation in 'the Huroe County Board of Education budget of a surplus from the days'before the County Board was started which they are now able to use. An average ratepayer with a $2,000 assessment will pay 3,0 cents less property tax during 1971 than he paid last year. Clerk-treasurer Ernest Wil- liams said a ratepayer with a An ad hoc committee con- sisting of James Taylor, Marilyn . Kunder, Clarence McDonald, Wilfred ShortreeL_Marion Zinn and Chairman Robert Elliott to. study kindergartens in the county of Huron received, the board's approval to leave things as they are at the present time with regard to kindergartens. Any new kindergartens in the county will be .encouraged to adopt a full-day every-ther-day • program and to provide bus trans- portation for kindergarten pupils only insofar as it is coincidental with bus transportation schedules for other pupils in the same school. John Henderson, MCKillop, -was not happy with the decision, of the. board. "I thaight this committee was ,going to take a survey of kindergartens in the county," he said. "They didn't take a survey at all. They had a committee meeting and came up with a pol- executive, Legion president icy."

They learned of the aims and objectives in both the actual phys- ical education and the health'pro- gram taught "in conjunction with the•program as well as the House League inter-school schedules. Physical education heads from all high schools as well as several physical- education tea7 chers from several elementary schools were in attendance to make their presentation to the board and to answer, questions from the board Members. . It was pointed out that the purpose of physical education in county schools. is to introduce the students to ; a wide variety of sports and physical activity, to teach the fundamental skills, • to stimulate an abiding interest in one or more , physical act- ivities, to stress the need for physibal fitness, to induce good •spoRsmanship and to show a student his limitations and how . to accept them. The complete health course from kindergarten to Grade 13 was clearly outlined by the tea- chers. It was reported that a • The Seaforth Optimist Club 'at their .regular meeting Thurs- day' night, took further steps towards the improvement of the recreation grounds on Main St. Sbuth. The club took over the operation of the park from the recreational. committee of the town last fall. Committee spokesman, Bill. Teala in the absence of chairman Keith MacLean, revealed that 370 yards of fill had been applied and levelled at a cost to the club of $1 per yard. Ain additional 75 to 100 yards will be applied this week in an effort to get a better binding for the 'surface of the diamond. A total budget' of $800 was allotted improvement of the Ball park with more available if it should be necessary. The money will be used for a sign, the erection of foul ball posts in the outfield and other improve- ments seen fit by the committee in addition to the fill material already supplied. Several sets of portable bleachers belonging to the Op- timists now located at the Agri- cultural Park, will be moved to committee of teachers within the county is now preparing a co- ordinated course of study in.. health for all students in the county to ensure that all students will have received the .same access to knowledge about health. The House League prograinn in the various schools where students in one school compete against, one another was shown • to provide mental recreation, an oPpOrtunity to socialize, a chance to develop co-operation,. good sportsmanship and true leader- ship qualities as well as a con- tinuing obedience to law and authority. " The inter-school program' Which,. is quite limited at 'the elementary school level provides an opportunity for students from .one school tcrcompare their skills and their. physical education pro- gram with those of another school and its students. . At least one board member questioned the advisability of spending fairly large sums of Money for transporting students from school "to school for .a sports program. The teachers. agreed that the advantages of-such a program far out-weighed the cost and one physical education head went so far as to say that a goOd physical education pro- gram in school set the "tone" I I the recreation grounds. In other business, Charles Geddes reported- that the new unifornis for thr Pee. Wee 'base- ball team " had arrived and he showed the club one of the bright blue and gold denim outfits.
