Honored By Pupils
HAYFIELD -- Mrs. William
E. (Vina) Parker was guest of
honour at a buffet luncheon
held in Clan Gregor Park on
Saturday, August 13.
More than 200 pupils, former
pupils, parents and friends ga-
thered to pay tribute to Mrs.
Parker who retired this sum-
mer after 32 years of Public
School teaching.
Reeve F. A. McFadden acted
as M.C. for the occasion and
called on Rev. E. J. B. Harrison
to say Grace on behalf of all
the ministers of Hayfield.
Following the luncheon, Mr.
McFadden paid tribute to the
fine qualities shown by Mrs.
ker both as a teacher 'and
as an individual. He spoke high-
ly of the knowledge which she
had passed on to her pupils
during her 32 years of teach-
ing, mentioning that while' the
financial gain of the teacher
was not great, lessons learned
both academically and morally
by the students in their forma-
tive years, remained with them
all their lives.
Reeve McFadd'en said that
there was only one cloud over
the day. "Not only were we
losing a teauuer, but our school
as well."
He then called upon Gladwin
Westlake as the oldest ex-pupil
to make the presentation or
matching luggage to Mrs. Park-
er and Valerie Merrier as one of
the youngest, presented her
former teacher with a purse of
money and tickets to Expo 67
for herself and Mr. Parker.
Mrs. Parker in reply, grac-
iously thanked everyone for
their kindness. She said how
much she yould miss teaching.
She spoke of her seven years in
SS 3 and 4 Stanley Townships
and SS 11, Grey County, and
her 25 years in Bayfield.
Mrs. Parker remarked how
very proud she was and always
had been of "her boys and
girls". She advised them, never
to give up, as education is so
rewarding,

Committee Asks No Comment
Report Holds EMO Fate
Evidence is accumulating
that Huron County will quit
the Eemrgency Measures Or-
ganization this fall.
The EMO 'committee of
county council has prepared
a recommendation on the fu-
ture of EMO, but it has been
wrapped in secrecy.
In a letter to newspapers
in Huron County clerk-treas-
urer John G. Berry has asked
the press to restrain comment
on the recommendation until
it is placed before county
council Sept. 16.
"The decision of the com-
mittee therewith is confident-
ial until such time as it is
released for publication at
the September session of
county °council." said Mr.
Berry.
"Naturally you have every
right to express your opinion
on this or any other subject
and we hope it continues in
this way, however, all we are
asking at this time is that you
await the official report before
ocmmenting on the actual re-
commendations,"
However, at an early July
meeting of Wingham town
council, Deputy-Reeve Jack
Alexander said the EMO com-
mittee has recommended the
organization be abandoned.
Mr. Alexander said the com-
mittee had been advised by
authories from Toronto that
the county could quit EMO,
and that it has recommended
that it be abandoned at the
end of October.
W. Stuart Forbes, Huron
EMO co-ordinator, said yes-
terday that he has received
a letter from Mr. Berry asking
that the committee action be
confidential.
"However, not being in at-
tendance at the EMO com-
mittee meeVng I am not in
possession of all the facts,"
said Mr. Forbes.
In a letter to Attorney Gen-
eral Wishart a member of
the Huron Emergency Plann-
ing Committee. S. Edward
Malins said:
"I have learned there is a
possibility that EMO work
will cease in Huron County
or be put in mothballs."
Mr. Malins said the basic
problem with EMO in Huron
is disagreement between the
local authorities and those in
EMO in Toronto.
He said the provincial auth-
orities refuse to consider the
recommendations of the !oral
planning group and elected
officials.
