For Smoking
Goderich District Collegiate
Institute remains the only high
school in Huron County where the
students are not permitted to
smoke on the school grounds
following a decision at Monday
evening's board of education
meeting in Clinton.
Board members. agreed to
permit the students at. Central
Huron Secondary School to esta-
blish a recreation area to the west
of4,he school and it is understood
that smoking will be permitted
there.
Chairman of the board, Robert
Elliott, said he hqped the rate-
payers would not interpret this to
mean that the board of education
approved of students smoking.
However, the chairman pointed
out that in many cases, parents
have not been able to pursuade
their children to stop Smoking
and he felt the school board would
have no better luck, especially
since students are presently
using the sidewalk immediately
in front of CHSS as a smoking
area anyway.
Trustee John Henderson, Mc-
.....1_0111ap,..hsaid he approved of the
recreationarealirthe -school'but-,
asked that the board encourage
the students not to smoke there.
"I'm not going to interfere with
their plans," he stated, "but as
a board member I don't like to see
it passed as a smoking areal*"
Dr. Alex Addison, Clinton,
disagreed. He said the area was
to be established as a park area
to be maintained by the students.
"I think it is a good idea to
turn this over to the students and
let them run it themselves,',' Dr.
Addison said. "We've got to
give them some responsibility.
We can't say Thou shalt not
smoke. I don't think we can stop
these .kids from smoking. I
couldn't stop mine. I had quite
a time to ,stbp myself from
smoking."
"I don't know where board
jurisdiction begins and ends,"t
„said the chairman, "but I 'do
know 'this came to the board for
decision." .
"It's a project in itself,"
argued Dr. 'Addison.- - "Maybe
park management will become a
new subject here. If we supress
these things and not let them do
a darn thing, how arelhey going
to learn?"
Discussion showed that three
of the five high schools-Wingham,
Seaforth and Exeter' - had defined
smoking areas on the school
property already. . Goderich
--Priac al hehn Stringer is the
only principal in the—COMity-who--
- has not given permission for' the-
student body to smoke on the
school grounds - or even on the
sidewalks adjacent to the school.
"" "If --principals have the
Management of the grounds in
their jurisdiction and the say
about smoking, one wonders why
this came before the board at
all," • stated George Parsons,
Goderich.
Director of. Education John
Cochrane reminded the . board
that 18-year olds are -now adults
by provincial government de-
cision.
"They're adults too, the same
as the teachers," noted Mr.
Cochrane., "They will say that
the teachers sploke-iri the school
so why can't they.". •
,The chairman quipped that the
ultimate solution might be to have
the teachers smoke on the re-
creation area too.
Trustee John Broadfoot,
Brucafield, claimed that since
the students were smoking in
front of the school-, it would be
in the interest of safety to remove
them to a recreatiowarea off the
'roadside.
"All you need is one hotrod
going up the street in front of
the high school and you could
have several less smokeA," he
noted.
A recorded vote showed that
only two board members - John
Henderson and Mrs. Marion Zinn
(Continued on Page 2)
He told the meeting that 65
per cent of the funds raised by
the unit campaigns go to,.research
into a cure for cancer. Five
per cent goes into the cost of
the campaign, five per cent for
overhead and 25 per 'cent for ser-
vice to patients and education.
He said 30,000 people would
die of cancer in Canada this year
and said the ultimate goal of
the cancer society ever since
Its founding in the 1930's has been
the eradication of the disease.
The immediate goal is to help
those inflicted with the disease.
Mr. Brandt predicted that •
someday there would be a 1)r.
