He said when this authority is exercised unto God it cannot help but benefit man. The otth of office for the new warden was administered by Magistrate Glenn Hays, QC. In a few of the committee appointments made at the opening session, Deputy-reeve John Sutter, Clinton, and Reeve Elgin Thompson, Tuckersmith Township, were each given a three-year term on the Huron- view committee and Norman Jones, Hensall, a two-year term.

Ken Wood Named To ..Head .School: Board Board at their inaugural meet- ing, Thursday, Succeeding Geo, rge Lavis in the position. Elected to the position .of vice-chairman was Clayt Dixon, while Harold Lawson was a- gain named secretary-treasurer and truant officer at a salary of $650, This is an increase of $50 over last year. Named to the striking com- mittee were Bob Irwin, Clayt Dixon and George Lavis, and the board accepted their rec- ommendation of the following committees for the coming year with the first named being chairman. Study and welfare — Clayt Dixon, George Levis and Law- rie Slade. PropertY, purchasing and fin- zer and Clayt Dixon Sports — Eric Switzer and. Lawrie Slade. Principal J. A. Gray was ap- pointed to the Library board for a three-year term and Mor- ley Counter was named for a two-year period. Other representative on the board is Mrs, Doug Thorndike. The principal's report show- ed that there had been seven admissions to the school in December, but the total en- rolment had only increased to 583, due to five transfers. He gave the average atten- dance as 9$.11 percent for the month and a total of 12 and a half teacher-days absent. Secretary-treasurer, Harold Lawson, gave the financial statement for the year, show- ing a surphis of $8,674.51, an increase over last year's figure. K. S. Wood, DC His report showed that a total of $87,800 had been made in expenditures, with close to $63,000 of the total being spent on teachers' salaries. Hear retiring Member W, Colquhoun, a member of the board for the past eight years, was present for the brief meeting held by the 1962 board before the business of the new year was started. He reported enjoying the work, with ' the board during his terms, pointing out there had been both "trying" and "enjoyable" times. Retiring chairman George Lavis commented that the ad- dress made some of the mem- bers feel like "old - timers", pointing out that some had been on the board when Col- quhoun started and they were still on the board when he was leaving. Lavis paid tribute to Colqu- houn's work on the board and added that he didn't know of another group which was able to get along as well as the school board. Minister Speaks Rev. Clifford G. Park, Wes- ley-Willis United Church, ad- dressed the board for a few minutes at their inaugural, fol- lowing a procedure introduced last year. He took the opportunity to thank the board on behalf of the Ministerial Association for being allowed to give religious instruction in the grade seven class at the school, a program instituted recently. Rev, Park ,reported he had been chosen• as the instructor for the first portion of the program and was enjoying it very much, and said he thought the students were, also enjoy- ing the study. ,He said he had conducted religious instruction in various schools in the past, and was "a firm believer in its 'worth". He reported there were some dissenting groups on the idea, but explained the course of study had been drawn up by all the major churches in Can- ada and h a d been carefully planned so as not to create any sectarian division and it had been finally approved by the government. The minister reported all resident ministers in Clinton would be taking part in the instruction this year and he hoped the temporary approval given by the board would be- come permanent in subsequent years. "We hope we will have war- ranted the privilege of carrying it on permanently", he said. Rev. Park pointed out the D e 1 Philp, Plun,B., )31yth, recently appointed chairman of the Advisory Vocational Committee, reported, to the CDCI board last Wednesday that the work op t h e new school was five weeks behind schedule. However, he said they had been assured the school would definitely be ready for Septem- ber 1, The chairman also reported the contractor had been explic- itly informed that the work on the present building was to re- ceive the major concentration at the present so the inter- ference to the Clinton students would be terminated. "We want them to get the work finished and get out", he explained, pointing out the Cl- inton students had to be left alone so they could concentrate on their studies. Philp said the delay in the new structure was also delay- ing the arrival date for the ex- tensive equipment to be provid- ed and it was not expected it could be put into place until at least March 15. He said he was disappointed over this fact. The Blyth pharmacist noted that the arrival of the equip- ment would necessitate t h e building of a large ramp to facilitate the unloading of the trucks. It is the responsibility of the board to unload the heavy equipment, move it to the shop and fasten it to the floor and then the manufacturers take over in the installation a n d wir. ing, He noted that the building of the ramp would fall to the Advisory Committee as it did not come under the contract- or's contract. A discussion was held on the topic, but it was decided to leave the question over until the next meeting. Inspector Commends Staff Irvine Tebbutt. Goderich township, reported that the school inspector, Mr. Scott, had visited the school recently and his report on the staff "was very good". Tebbutt said the inspector had been highly complimentary of the principal and staff with their efficiency in face of the difficulties experienced with the building program. He reported the staff as be- ing "better than average". Tebbutt, chairman of the study and welfare committee, said his group would be meet- ing shortly to commence plans for the hiring of the large number of teachers needed. He also said the present staff had requested a meeting with the committee to discuss the general program for the school. Clinton chiropractor, Dr. Ken ance Bob TrWin, Eric Swit- Weed,. was eleCIACI chairman. of the Clinton. Public .5e.h.O41 course enabled the students to get a new appreciation and attitude towards the local min- isters and also towards their own sunday schools, He reported that in London one of the first centres to give religious instruction in the schools, had enjoyed an in- crease in sunday school attend- ance from 50 to 80 percent af- ter the courses had been st- arted. Letter to the Editor Compliments? To The Editor: I' was happy to notice in the news media that the Clinton council at their latest meeting welcomed a new business to the town, Not only was this busi- ness audacious enough to hang a standard sign such as seen outside all such companies, but they were, I presume, equally audacious in occupying a vac- ant store and shovelling the town's sidewalk in front of it. It is good to see that the town council is starting 1963 with its traditional progressive outlook. Clinton Taxpayer. his committee were still earry- ing on an investigation into property suitable for a play- ground for the school, but ex- plained it was difficult to de- termine what, condition some of the proposed sites were in due to the snow covering them. The property chairman also told the board the caretakers at the school would be writing department of labour examina- tions in the near future in an effort to gain engineer papers to operate the heating plant. A letter of recommendation for each of the three men was approved by the board and will be sent to the department, Considerable time at the meeting was spent in determin- ing the duties of L. R. Maloney, business administrator, and also approving some of his re- quests. He was given authority to attend a convention of business administrators in Niagara Falls from January 13 to 16. The recommendation that he be sent and the board pay his expenses came from the school inspector, who pointed out the business adminitrator should attend as many of these func- tions as possible and also to visit other business administ- rators to become oriented with the duties he will have to per- form, With this in mind, the board authorized Maloney to visit other schools when he felt it advisable and also to make any necessary trips to the depart- ment of education to receive any aid he may require. The board also authorized the hiring of a part-time clerk- typist; the installation of a tele- phone in the business adminis- trator's office; purchasing of stationery; a bond in the am- ount of $10,000 on Maloney; They also learned he was planning to institute a new banking system for the purpose of paying the teachers a n d employees and gave permission to his idea of establishing a signed-pay system where the salaries will be deposited in each of the staff member's ac- counts at the local banks. Maloney explained this would necessitate the writing of only two or three cheques per month for this purpose, while it was necessary to prepare over 60 in the past. At the conclusion of the dis- cussion on Maloney's work, the board asked the study and wel- fare committee to meet with him to discuss further duties and the hours he is to work. In other business, the board: Approved permission for the Clinton Recreation Committee to conduct square dance classes in the gymnasium on Tuesday nights as long as the facilities are not needed for school ac- tivities, Authorized the school to be closed on Friday, February 1 to allow the teaching staff to attend the annual teachers' convention to be held in List- owel on that date.
