The meeting held a short discussion on beer advertise- meats on television sponsoring CHSS Board Tgrees To Let. Exeter Build Partial Vocational Addition A proposal by South Huron Secondary School to build a 10 - room modified vocational addi- tion to the Exeter school was approved by all tour secondary school boards sending students to Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton. The special meeting was held last Wednesday and conducted by John Levis, chairman of rbhe Clinton Board. , The proposal was approved after four and a half hours of discussion and after the Clinton Board had a one-hour recess to reconsider en earlier decision its members had made. It is expected that with Exec ter's expansion, over -crowding in the vocational department of the Clinton school will be re- lieved, The department opened last September. Clinton Saving It is` also hoped the expan- sion will save the Clinton Board a capital it outlay in the immed- iate future, members said. H. W. Beatty, of London, chief shop inspector of secondary schools fot Western Ontario, predicted that by 1970, there will be three composite schools in the region now served by the four boards. ,The present agreement 'call's for 15 percent of enrollment at school of the four boards to be sent to the Clinton school. The existing agreement will be amended by the Clinton board to accommodate Exeter. Exeter will be required to guarantee five percent in the event Clinton enrollment drops below 1,200 in September, 1965, when Exeter •plans to have its addition ready. The original agreement expires in 1972. Addition Studied Prior to May 13, when - the Exeter board requested the special meeting, the Clinton Board was, studying a vocation- al ocationa'l addition to the Clinton school. The Exeter Board was plan- ning anacademic addition when D. W. Scott, of Lon'den, provin- cial secondary school inspector for the area, advised the Exe- ter board it was no longer as profitable to send students to Clinton as it has been.. Mr. Scott said a change likely would be made in the grant structure. Members of ithe Exeter board said enrollment at their second- ary school would be about 1,000 students by 1968, Cost .5700,000 The proposed Exeter addition will cost $700,000. After the grants of 75 percent from the senior governments, the amount to be raised by local levies will be $175,000. The addition - will include three shops, two commercial rooms, one science room, four academic classrooms and an addition to, the cafeteria and kitchen. Kenneth Johnsof Woodham, , chairman of 'the Exeter board, said the board would be unable to provide occupational . courses for such limited and expensive fields as machine shop and ac- counting, Eitrolintietits Vp John Cochrane, principal of the Clinton school, showed members that by 1970, there will be 3,9,33 secondary students In the four schools, W, T. Laing, 'af London, chief provincial high school inspector for Western Ontario, quoted Department of Education fig- ures which showed there are 364,210 students in Ontario and that by 1970, that figure is ex- pected to increase by 66 per- cent, 0 HOLMESVILLE Mr. and Ma's.

"I think the committee has made a wonderfu't effort tocombat the wicked noise and vandal- ism," she said. "I hope at (the resolution) will do the trick." When he spoke to second the res'olutien, Reeve. Agnew said not all the danger to life and limb in Clinton could be blamed on reckless' drivers. Blames Parents He said many parents appear to have an utter disregard for their own children. in that they allow them to play on or near town 'stre'ets. Reeve Agnew appealed to parents to keep a closer watch on their children "before one of them gets killed or seriously injured." Mr. and Mrs. Ed•Niekle, who live at the corner of King and Cutter Streets, two of five rate- payers who attended the meet- ing, both spoke in favor of the committee's resolution, an d strongly against the reckless drivers. The Nickles said, sleep was sometimes impossible on week- ends because of the noise of racing • motors and squealing tires, and sweeping broken beer bottles from the sidewalks 'near their home was becoming al- most a 'd'aily occurrence. Chief Agrees Police Chief H. R. Thompson told the News -Record he felt the police committee had come up with a resolution which would certainly help the !traffic situation in Clinton. . "A fourth policeman will give us' a better opporturcuty to catch some of the offenders, and radar equipment will make speeders slow down," he said. The Police -Committee• made up of Mayor Miller, Reeve Ag- new, Deputy -Reeve J. A, Sutter and Mr, Thompson set no date for either the hiring of a new policeman or the sending of a letter for provincial assistance.
