Dr. Alex Addison of Clinton expressed some displeasure at Monday evening's board of educa- tion meeting in Clinton concer- ning the way in which materials donated by A.V.M; Hugh Campbell School at CFB Clinton were_dis- tributed,,,,to schools in the county of Huron. However, the doctor received little support for his views from other board members who agreed that since the supplies were a gfft, there should be no .dispute. Director of education, D. John Cochrane, said 'that when the school at the, base was closed. down, much of the equipment was taken to the school at Camp Borden. A few other supplies Such as library books, text books, Maps and globes, sports equip- ment, records, filmstrips and sundry items were distributed in Huron. Principals in the Ceunty ele- mentary schools received six letters advising what was avail- able and noting that the materials would be given out to the schools in most need on a first-come basis4 Dr. Addison asked for a report on where theSe items had been received. He indicated that the Clinton Public School did not get a fair share of the items for dis- tribution. - Mr: Cochrane said that all schools in the county - the public schools,,. the Roman Catholic Schools and the Christian Re- foritied Schools - had "Shared in the gift. "Right about now I wish they'd taken it all to Camp Borden," he stated.

The McKillop schools will be sold by auction with the date for dispersal to be arranged with the auctioneer, Bruce Rathwell, R. R. 1, Brucefield. It has been agreed that the school bells will be sold separately from the buildings, with the removal of the bells to be the responsibility of the per- son who purchases them. Results- of the maintenance tenders for schools in Huron County were discussed and Showed. that, painting contracts were costing less this year than last year. Reason given by R. MvVean for the improved prices was the great amount of competi- tion displayed for the contracts. Mrs. Mildred MacGregor has been engaged as a full-time' teacher for Huron Hope School at Centralia for the coming year. Increased enrolment at the school for the' retarded in' that-area of the County has necessitated the engagement pf Mrs, MacGregor who served only on a part-time basis last year. The principal of the school is Mrs. Scott.
