There 'were complaints from
councillors about icy eonclitfons at
ninin intersections when $eaforth

applying sand and salt. "You
Should make it a hard and fast
rule that the third man (in

through intersections. They
should automatically do 'the

suggested that part of the
problem tnight be that town men
are through their shifts' early in
winter because they start
snowplowing so early in the
morning. Fire hydrant's should be
dug out regularily as part of the
town's snow removal program,'
too,‘ he said.
Reeve—Flannery reported that
he, was..,haxing discussions with
'TUC manager Tom Phillips about
the possibility of using the PUC
truck* at times for snow removal.
"It'd be a lot more,„efficient with
two trucks", the reeve said.

Huron County Board of Educa-
on trustees, fiye of them new,
chose Herb Turkheim of Zurich as
„chairman for • a second term at
their inaugural meeting in Clinton.
Monday. He was , unapposed.
But eight-year 'trustee Marian
Zinn was picked as board vice-
..chairman over John Elliott, sery-
ing his second term as represent-
ative of. the Blyth area. Alec
Corrigan was also nominated,, htl •

E.CV :Ooderich., was

education committee. John
Henderson is vice-chairman.
- J.11. Alexander was unopposed-
as chairman of the nianagement
committee. Alec Corrigan is
vice.:chairman.
Clarence McDonald was •named
to the chairman's advisory
committee - the board's executive
committee made up, of committee
chairmen and a member-at-large.
• Mr: Turkheim said the board
weathered one of its toughest
yeari in 1976 but prospesct's for
the future.) are improved.
.
"A year ago when I was elected
chairman of this board we warned
the trustees of an• extremely
diffiCult time ahead of us due, to
new grant, regulations and
prearranged salary contracts
which were going to 'cost the
taxpayers of. Huron a great deal of
money," Mr. Turkheim Said.
"We termed 1976 as a `year of•
restraint.',But we managed to get
through the year' - thanks to a
conscientious budget committee
with the assistance of the admin-
istration and the people in onr.
schools. It was a difficult year -
but we straggled through it
without hurting anyone too
seriously."
Grant regulations for 1977 have
not. beeir'studied Closely-yet, he'
said, but the financial situation
could be better since there will
not be a large jump in teachers'
salaries. He hope4 'the. budget
would stay at $18 million.
Last year the teachers were
given almost 30 percent increases
to allow them to, catch up to other
boards, Mr. Turkheirri' said. This
year they were held to the anti-
inflation board guidelines.•
"ACknowledging that free
choice in' subjects, lack of
measurable standards and lack of
a province-wide' curriculum had
•put the school systelifin a mess,
Education Minister 'Tom , Wells
has retrenched. Besides 'restoring
a,core of required subjects, the
province is looking for ,ways 'to
improvemeasurement and test-
ing of student achievement and
its reporting to parents." ,
The Huron board has been
pushing for some time for many
the recent changes but Mr..
Tiuitheim said he does npt want a
return to the educat: n system
that' existed before th 960's.
Wells is not in
"There has been no suggestion of
a, return to former ironbound,
unimaginative teaching and
grinding -province-wide exams."
Mr. Turkheim said the big
tasks this year will be spending
$217,000 on renovations 6 the
Exeter public school, approved by
the prbvince last year, and the
opening of a new school in. the old
