At the same time ratepayers and par- ents of the Village would be paying for much more expen- sive facilities elsewhere than they themselves enjoyed. More- over, such a two-room school could be closed out easily and on short notice in the future. (d) The rights of a large majority of the ratepayers and parents in former School Sec- tions 3, 4 and 9 (West Stanley Township) would be denied. Many of their children would be required to bus over 15 miles -(not counting extra pick-up re- lays) over inadequate roads to reach the proposed central school -- one way. The geo- graphy of the County School Area argues strongly for special consideration for these rural children. (e) There are many humani- tarian factors which loom large to rural residents and which are minimized by attendance at a closer school such as Bayfield. (f) The matter of cost is im- portant. To use the Bayfield site and plant as the nucleus for a four-room school would pro- vide savings in construction and also provide large annual sav- ings in transportation. Since we met you in July architect's estimates for a 16 room school at Brucefield indicate a total cost of approximately $800,000. This is exorbitant and out of all reason, by comparison with similar schools in the county. (g) The trend in population growth is toward the Western end of the Area. Moreover, Bayfield is an incorporated ur- ban community with a future and should be entitled to ade- quate elementary educational facilities. Without such a school you would be passing a death sentence on this community. Surely, this is not your inten- tion. There are many other fac- tors affecting local opinion on the proposed central school at Bruce field. Many of these should not be mentioned in view of the acrimony they have gen- erated already. Suffice it to say that the future relations be- tween East and West Stanley would be much improved by al- lowing a four-room school in West Stanley to serve West Stan- ley and Bayfield. We could well ask why there is all this difficulty about ap- proving something as "simple, straightforward and sensible" (to quote the words of many hundreds) as providing the best and most convenient local edu- cational facilities at the mini- mum of cost. What we are ask- ing, we repeat again, had been first suggested by your local in- spector and it would appear to be in accord with the excep- tions noted in your letter of 28 December last. We are in agreement with your policy of more efficient administration of education in larger areas. But, it could be asked, " What is the purpose of larger areas if they do not pro- vide flexibility in locating schools? "We feel that the ef- ficiency you are aiming at can be achieved in our specific situ- ation by raising our two-room school in Bayfield to four- room status. This is a move toward centralization. As the Village and the surrounding lakeside area grow in popula- tion there will undoubtedly be need for expansion beyond four rooms. We suggest that what we are proposing fits your poli- cy and should be supported. Please believe that the vast majority of the parents and rate payers we represent feel deeply moved by the course of events in this matter. Our faith in our democratic institutions at the local level has been badly shak- en. We have no confidence in the objectivity or even the gooc faith of our local inspector. We have only begun to fight in this issue. Might we suggest that your new regional inspector whom we understand is based on Lon- don might look into the situa- tion on the ground? The prob- lem here has certainly gone beyond the possibility of local amicable settlement. May this matter be further considered, please? West Stanley Delegation of 15 July 1965. Mrs. Ethel Poth. F.

Howe Will Seek Sixth Marvin Howe, of Arthur, who has represented the federal constituency of Wellington-Hur- on in the House of Commons in the past five parliaments, was unanimously selected to repre- sent the Progressive Conserva- tive party in the November 8th election. Mr. Howe was nam- ed at a nominating convention in the Harriston town hall on Tuesday evening. His nomin- ation was moved by William B. Conron of Wingham. Mr. Howe won his first election 12 years ago. Roy Grant of Mount Forest was elected president of the Wellington-Huron PC Associa- tion. Arthur Dickson of Arthur was elected vice-president and Cecil Wolfe of Fergus, secre- tary. This is the last election in which Mr. Howe will carry the PC standard for voters in Wing- ham, Howick and Turnberry, since the redistribution commit- tee has already announced that the town and two townships will in future become part of the riding of Huron. -Bible Study at Summer School A day of Christian fellow- ship and a unique presentation of Bible study by Rev. August Meecham was experienced by the United Church men and women who attended a meeting at Goderich Summer School, sponsored by the Huron Presby- terial. The study on how to enter the Kingdom of God and receive grace and faith was illustrated by sketches and followed by a question and answer period. Ten study groups held discussion sessions. Mrs. Gilbert Beecroft, Bel- grave, president of the Huron Presbyterial, extended greet- ings. Mr. Elgin McKinley, Zurich, led the devotions and Mrs. R. McKercher, Dublin as- sisted. Courtesy remarks were expressed by Rev. A. Higgin- botham, Walton. Co-conveners were Mrs. Earl Rowe of Ilensall and Mrs. Arth- ur Jackson, Belgrave. "You're a cheat!" shouted the defense lawyer at his op- ponent. "You're a liar!" charged the other lawyer. The judge banged his gavel. "Let's proceed with the case',' he said dryly, "now that the at- tourneys have been identified." Rebate System in Use for Classifieds In the past we have always experienced considerable losses in the collection of accounts for classified advertising. A surprisingly large number of people who telephone ads to the office simply forget all about paying for them-- In future those advertise- ments which are charged will be billed and the statement re- ceived by the customer will in- dicate the amount of discount which will be allowed for prompt payment. If payment is not received within the time specified the discount will not be allowed and the advertiser will sacrifice a worthwhile sav- ing. FOR SALE Player Piano Rolls new). Write for catalogue.

"Sorry, bub," someone yell- ed at him, "but we're too crowded." "I don't care, " he wailed. "You've got to let me on or I'll get fired. I'm the driver." SPECIALS 2 pc.

One of them is that it carries the power of the printed word. People believe in a message that is permanent — one that is written. They understand it better. Also, the news- paper because of its permanence lets the reader choose his own time for absorbing the message. And once put down it can always be picked up again. The message that lives is the one that is written in the newspaper. Vallitelb Butirtin Louisa Si. P.O. Box 94 hayfield Phone 96
