PAINTING PLAY AREAS
When painting the exterior of
your home, take a few minutes
to work a little paint magic
around the children's play area,
suggests the Canadian Paint
Manufacturers Association. On
metal play equipment like
. swings and slides, sand down
chipped areas and apply a
rust-inhibiting primer. Then
enamel it in the brightest colors.
Wooden equipment — like
sandboxes — should ,be lightly
sanded and then finished with an
exterior type enamel.

WHEN BUYINO LIVER
To save money on liver; the

suggest you buy pork, lambs' or
beef liver. They are cheaper than
calves' liver and all are high in
iron,

J. Murphy of Goderich said, '‘dr
trying to find out...! don't see
why we should worry ebout
thern if we do a good job. We
don't need to go hat-in-hand to
any of there."
"It's not very good public
relations if you don't appear'at a
meeting when you are invited,"
Mr, Broadfoot replied.
Mr, Murphy said that the
board members were not
representatives of individual
municipalities, but the entire
educational system of the
county.
Student fund-raising events
should be more constructive
than the walkathon put on last
week by Central Huron
Secondary School, believes
Robert M. Elliott of Goderich
Township, chairman of the
county board of education.
In a discussion of the costs of
secondary school sports last
week, trustee John Henderson of
RR 5, Seaforth, suggested that
students use their own funds to
pay league fees and referee
wages. Spectators should pay
more to watch games if more is
needed to finance the events, he
said.
Mr. Elliott brought up the
matter of money raised through
walkathon contributions,
mentioning the walkathon
staged by the CHSS Students'
Council Oct. 8 to meet a deficit
of about $1,000.
"If money is raised," he said,
"why not raise it by doing
something else that would be
more constructive?" he asked,
"Walkathons are becoming quite
a racket."
Board members voiced no
disagreement.
The trustees decided that the

Sprinkle with dried dill. Makes 4
to 5 servings.
CARAMEL POTATOES
Cook 10 unpeeled new
potatoes and peel while warm.
Put 21/2 tablespoons white sugar
in a heavy saucepan. Cook over

Add potatoes and shake pan

about 5 minutes.

"You're only partly right,
Dan," interjected R. M. Elliott
of Goderich Township, board
vice-chairman,
"You represent the separate
school ratepayers of the county
on this Board; the rest of us are
from individual municipalities.
Have yoq ever heard of the
members of county roads

county councillors? Or the
Ontario Premier who got more
roads for his riding? We were
elected to represent our
constituencies on this board,"

competition should be divided

budgets of each school. D. J.
Cochrane, director of education,
said the money would be used to

well used up, he said, in paying
referees' fees which are
sometimes $30 or $35 for men
who charge mileage from

In other business, the board

A revolutionary new sewage
treatment process developed by
the Ontario Water Resources
Commission may prove a boon
to Clinton, says R. J. Boussey,
manager of the Public Utilities
Commission.
The process removes from
sewage the phosphorus and
nitrogen nutrients that threaten
to destroy the Great Lakes and
at the same time saves money by
enabling plants to operate more
efficiently — so much so that
plant capacity may be increased
as much as 50 percent.
Energy Minister George Kerr
said the discovery, a type of lime
precipitation process, will take
from sewage 92 percent of the
phosphates and nitrogen. The
best methods now in use in
North America remove only 39
percept, he said. Phosphates and
nitrogen, coming tmostly from
human waste and detergents
used in household wash, are the
main promoters of slimy green
algae.
Nitrogen and oxygen dumped
into lakes through sewage speed
up a process call eutrophication
— the natural aging process of
the lakes — by feeding algae,
which multiply at increased
rates, removing the oxygen from
the water and destroying fish
and plant life.
Mr. Boussey said the OWRC
process would be an ideal, one
for Clinton and almost certainly
would bring down the cost of
maintenance and operation of
the treatment plant.
He said increased capacity
may provide a partial answer to
the overloading which occurs
during heavy rains and spring
runoff. The many storm drains
hooked into the sanitary sewer
system at times deliver a flow
Well beyond the plant's capacity.
The treatment process is
disrupted and raw sewage pours
into the Bayfield River.
Consulting engineers are
expected soon to bring in
recommendations one of which
May be construction of holding
ponds or lagoons where waste
water could be diverted and
stored until processed through
the plant,
Mr. Kerr said in is speech at
Oakville recently that the new
lime process can be installed at
even the most rudimentary
plants. It can; he said; be
adopted at primary or
sophisticated secondary swage
treatment plants for a cost of
between $2,200 and 0,000,
"t can see," he added, "the
new treatment being started
across the province „., just as
fest as the equipment can be
Manufactured and installed."
Mr. Elliott concluded.
The chainnan, corementesi
that the Department of
Education felt it was good
public relations to converse
more with the public.
Mr. Broadfoot said that all he
wanted Was a uniform report
produced by the board for the
members so they would be
saying the same things.
.John Henderson of Seaforth,
Warned that the board members
had better be prepared with
facts if they were going to be
questioned and give correct
answers.
equipment must be disposed of
by public auction.
It was reported that the fee
for night school enrolment is
$15 when materials are supplied,
and $10 otherwise. Teachers are
paid $8 per hour regardless of
their qualifications.
Clarence McDonald of Exeter,
chairman of the board's
insurance committee, said the
contract with Dominion Life for
accident insurance was
completed, but tenders for
general insurance will not be in
until Oct. 24.
The increased efficiency
resulting from the lime
treatment means, said Mr. Kerr,
that municipalities will now be
able to expand their facilities at
a fraction of what it would cost
by conventional methods and
remove the phosphorus and
nitrogen besides.
He said that because of the
low cost and the simplicity, he is
"very hopeful that
municipalities will incorporate
the process in their plants
without hesitation."
Mr. Kerr, who has been
critical of the high proportion of
phosphates in detergents, said
some people would like to see
the Government ban detergents
completely.
"We would certainly like to
see the soap industry come up
with some equally effective and
less harmful substitutes."
Ontario recognized the
seriousness of the threat and the
inadequacy • of treatment
methods by starting its research
program in 1963, he said.
Mr. Kerr, who took over his
Cabinet post only a few months
ago, said he is "delighted" at the
results.
But he said he was "not going
to stand here and tell you that
we have licked the pollution
problem or even come close to
it.
"We humans, particularly here
in North America, are a
polluting crowd. We have so long
regarded streams as suitable
repositories for waste that our
habits can only be changed
slowly.
"All too often we equate
progress with the rapidity with
Which we can convert raw
material into consumer goods
with no thought given to the
disposal of residues.
He said everyone in Ontario
has to become "a
conservationist."
One of the main dangers
arising from smooth tires is that
they usually function quite well
in dry weather, and may build
up a false sense of security in the
driver. Stopping distance is
about the same for old and new
tires on dry pavement. But,
according to the Orttario Safety
League, at 60 mph on a wet
asphalt surface bald tires require
an additional stopping distance
of abOut 220 feet over new tires.

29, NOVICES
BY ritcHivicThip ATKEY
Members of the Huron
County,. Board of Education plan
to report to the taxpayers on the
first-year operations of the
school system just as soon as
figures showing comparisons
with, other years are available. So
the board decided at a meeting
in Central Huron Secondary
School in Clinton last wyk.
Both D, J. Cochrane, director
of education, and R. B. Dunlop,
business administrator, said that
such a report could be available
by the end of February but not
before that date due to payment
of year-end bills.
When the comparative
information is received by the
board, a public meeting or
meetings will be called,
apcording to chairman John B.
Lavis of Clinton. He urged the
administrative staff of the board
to set a target date as soon as
possible.
John Broadfoot, Brucefield,
brought the matter before the
board when he suggested a
meeting with municipal officials
before the December municipal
elections, in order to provide
information on the operation of
the board of education so far
this year.
Mr. Broadfoot emphasized
that this is a problem that must
be faced by the board, and said
what he wanted to know was
how the board members should
go about solving the problem.
