School
Continued from Page Two
because it is obvious that such
a school facility would provide
a very inferior type of educa-
tion to that provided by a grad-
ed school at Brucefield. 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?

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.

They kept pushing him to-

finally they pushed him out the
back exit door.
He ran excitedly to the front
of the bus and tried to get on
again.
"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

WHY IS THE
PRINTED WORD
SO IMPORTANT
IN ADVERTISING?
• It's Clear • It's Permanent
• It's Believable •
The newspaper is the GREATEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM
for many reasons. 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.
