Education that are now
existent in Huron County,
speak highly of the system
because thy have seen the
results of what the larger unit
can do. Those critics of the
educational aspect of the en-
deavours of the Huron County
Board of Education are just
not aware of the hours of the
days that the members have
.pent trying to better com-
prehend and hence, develop
policy that would, extend the
learning processes to more and
more students at a level they
could understand and at a cost
they felt the taxpayer could af-
ford. The press in our County
has reported through the past
year meetings that were held
with teachers; with superinten-
dents joint discussions with
academic people, within and
without ouT system in an at-
tempt to learn what is being
done in our system to help the
students become better and
more learned citizens able to
take their place in society. •
"As you know, our board
took up its first residence in the
County, Council Chambers in
the Court House in Goderich. It
was not long, however, until we
realized accommodation had to
be more than was available
there and so the Nurses'
Residence adjacent to the Clin-
ton Public Hospital was leased
from the Clinton Hospital
Board and, renovated, at a
minor cost, to the needs of the
Huron County . Board of
Education administrative staff.
This served until this year, at
whiCh dime, the hospital board
informed ,. the Board of
Education that they needed the
'space to accommodate doctors
and perhaps the Huron County .
Health Unit in the quarters in
the Nurses' Residence. The
Huron, County Board then in-
vestigated the possibilities of a
new home for their ad-
ministrative staff. •We have
been criticized by many for
choosing to renovate an older
building rather than building a
'new one. I would like to point
out to the citizens of Huron
County that this is not money
squandered, but money
necessarily spent to house an
efficient Administrative staff
which is attempting to carry on
.a 10.5 million dollar business
in the County of Huron, and I
do not. believe that $200,000 ,is
'an exorbitamt amount of money
to spend to procure office space
such as we have here in the
Town of Clinton. Had we
chosen a new building, we feel
the cost would have been a
minimum 'of $325,000 and for
that ' amount of money we
would not have received the
space on one floor, which I
believe to be 'an advantage: We
would not have, in all
probability, had it completed as
quickly to accommodate the
Hospital Board .in their need_
for more space, and I hope in
the near future the public can
be invited in wh'at has been
called the "old knitting ,fac-
tory", to see what. has been
done in the way of renovation.
• am pleased,. as chairman
of this beard,,. to..come to the
people, to stand before you
tonight unashamed of what this
board has done, proud of the
way it has worked together, of-
fering n4 apologies for its con- '
duct, feeling that every minor
or major event that has taken
place has been well thought
out. I do not agree, personally,
with everything that has been,
done, but it has all been
achieved in a democratic man-
ner with a' majority decision
and with the rights of the
minority respected. In a
democratic society,, one cannot
ask for more.
"There has been criticism of
the committee system which we
are using at the present time in
the conduct of our meetings. I
believe the committee system
has served a useful purpose,
has cut down on the amount of
time required to handle the
volume of business necessarily
handled each month by the
board. The committee system
has given every member of the
hoard a chance to debate in
nmittee and also at the open
meeting, if he so desires, any
point which he wants to
discuss. I think the committee.z
system could he improved by
two things -- 1„. That only those
members Who are elected to a
committee should he allowed to
diScuss, in committee. t hose
points which are on the com-
mittee's agenda. However,
every board member should be
notified what' the agenda will
he when the committee is
meeting and he allowed to at•
and by •the time` decision
comes to the open, board, there
is no debate left, because
everyone has had an oppor-
tunity to have his say and so
the public perhaps is not as
aware of the thought and
discussion that has gone into a
decision when it reaches the
Board level. This, in effect,
would make the committee
presenting a report the "Gover-
nment" and the members who
are not on the committee the
"'apposition". As it now stands,
two major standing committees
eXist-management and
education. The names imply
their duties--one being
business, the other academic,
half of the board and the chair-
man and vice-chairman are on
each. 2. A committee which has
served a very worthwhile pur-
pose has been the chairman's
advisory committee. This com-
mittee is comprised of four
members, the chairman, the
vice-chairman, the chairman of
the education committee and
the chairman °L.' the
msnaagement committee. These
people have not met often, but
they have met when necessary
as a sounding board for the
chairman, to discuss very con-
fidential personnel problems
and to present to the Board
reports on these problems
whenever deemed necessary:
and handling of necessity, must
be kept- confidential. Some
people say, there should be
nothing confidential: in 'public
business, but I believe that
anyone who has dealt with per-
sonnel or personal problems
knows this to be untrue.
However, because of its con-
fidential nature, this committee
has perhaps caused some
suspicion, and although I. am
an advocate of it and though I
am chairman, I would haNte to
vote against its future use sim-
ply because we cannot afford to
have any group, or organization
within the board which does
not have the wholehearted sup-
port of all the members.
"It -would be my hope for
next- year that the committee
system, two standing commit-
tees, (education and
management) will continue to
exist and will be handled in the
way that I have just outlined so
that the people will he better
informed--not that the work
will be more fairly handled
than it has been, but that,more
petiole 'how' it has:
been handled -and have faith
that all facets of a problem
have been discussed. There is
no doubt that sometime it will
be necessary for the chairman
to call on 'senior members of
the board for advice or
opinions and this should not be
taken as a sign of secrecy, but
only to confirm or reject his
own opinions.
si•
As most Of you know,' we
,haVe in the past yea'r moved
some of our elementary prin-
cipals to new locations within
the County. 'these gentlemen,
and I call them gentlemen sin-
cerely,-have done an excellent
job in picking up the reins in a
new school, in fulfilling their
duties as principal and chief
administrator in these new
areas and have organized
smoothly functioning
educational institutions
fulfilling the purpose for which
they were built. These men and
understandably so, were not
initially,' entirely happy with
their moves, but. I. am happy
that they now have seen that
the need of the system has been
answered by, their wholehear-
ted co-operation and ability to
adjust and fulfil the position
entrusted to them. My thanks
and congratulations to..uthese
men, and I hope that this prac-
tice will not be abused, but will
be used in the future so that all
schools may benefit from a
change of our capable Prin-
cipals.
"My congratulations also go
to the other fine members of
our staff whether they he ad-
ministrative, teaching,
custodial, cle'r'i cal or
engineering, They are'all part
of the educational process in
Huron County. We have had
our differences, we have had
our agreements. we have bad
ups and' downs. hut through it'
all 1 feel quite confident that
everyone felt the, other was
striving to achieve the same
,goal-that of a better
educational system for the
students of Huron County at a
justifiable cost.

'In view of the fact that present
policy permitted Mr. Pulsiler
and others to offer music lessons
within school premises, with the
approval of principals, the
Education Committee felt that
perhaps a fine line was being
drawn between offering guitar
lessons indoors and in a trailer.
It was suggested that the board's
decision should be re-examined.
Following some discussion on

Skating rinks
for winter fun
With cold weather and snow
oitr the ground, it's time for
skating and hockey. You can
construct a backyard skating rink
on lawn areas without damage,
if you're careful, says R.F.
Gomme, horticultural specialist,
It is preferable that the ground
be frozen in the location you
choose. Start the rink after the
first heavy snowfall. Select a
level area and outline the rink
by mounding extra snow around
the perimeter. Be sure to tramp
the area around the rink to pre-
vent water from draining away.
Boards placed on edge will make
ideal hockey cushions. Level the
rink surface by dragging it with
a snow shovel or a toboggan.
Spray light layers of water
to build a base, letting each
layer freeze before adding the
next. Agarden • hose or lawn
sprinkler Is excellent for this.
Sometimes large plastic sheets
can be used to help retain
• the water. Holes in the rink
or rough areas can be patched
with snow, then soaked with •
water. •
Once a good base has been°
established, each layer of water
will begin to level the ice sur-
face. When the rink is in per-
fect condition, the only upiteilp
is to brush off light snow and
apply another fine spray of Water.
