John Broadfoot of Brucefield, representative of Tuckersmith, Stanley, Seaforth and Bayfield, had sought information to be presented at ratepayers' meetings 'prior to municipal elections this winter, but both board chairman John Lavis of Clinton and education director John Cochrane argued that a true picture can be given only after the system has run for an entire year, Mr. Broadfoot stuck to his guns to ,the last and voted against the motion for reports by March and said later that he was planning to present his own Non-resident students attending Huron County schools, including hockey players brought here from New Brunswick by the Goderich Junior "B" team, will pay less than a quarter of the $900 agreed on by the board earlier this year. At a meeting in Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton, Monday evening, the board reconsidered its original policy and decided that non-residents "whose fees are not payable by another board or equivalent" should pay $100 per year in the elementary grades and kindergarten and $200 a year in secondary grades. Carl Parr of London spoke on estate planning last Thursday evening at a dinner held by Co-Op insurance agents, directors of the Huron County Federation 'of Agriculture and the federation's insurance committee. More than , 50 persons attended the annual dinner held in Brucefield United Church. Bruce Shapton of RR 1, Exeter, chairman of the insurance committee, introduced the agents present — George Turton, Goderich; Art Wright, Seaforth; Bert Klopp, 2;urich; Russell Knight, RR 3, Brussels; Ross Francis, Kirkton; Peter Roy, Clinton and Lloyd Montgomery, Wingham. Also present Were Murray Maxwell and Murray Bailey, report to ratepayers' meetings as he had done always as a member of the former local board. Mr. Cochrane said the board's executive council discussed the matter at length and concluded that before such meetings are herd, 12-month financial reports on budgets, salaries, arbitration results, • municipal levies and other factors must be available; the accomplishments of 1969 must be studied and the academic and financial aims for 1970 must be studied and stated by the board, Mr. Broadfoot questioned the value of meetings in the spring and held that they are needed now when citizens meet prior to elections. (Editor's Note — Only municipal officials will be elected in December. The school trustees are serving two-year terms which expire at the end of 1970.), Opposition to the $900 'fee, which was supposedly based on actual cost, arose at the board's first October meeting when D. J. Murphy of Godeiich mentioned that two or three hockey players were being "imported" from New Brunswick and said the hockey club in Goderich could not afford to pay the "shot" required by the board. There was mentioned also a case of a girl moving from another city to live with her grandparents in Huron and having to pay the full $900. It was said this week that very few such cases arise. from CIAG's Guelph and London offices, respectively; Bill Duncan, Manager of the Clinton office and Bob Jackson, adjuster in Clinton. Elmer Hunter of Goderich Township, federation president in Huron, was there with other members of the executive. Insurance committee members attending included Doug McNeill of RR 6, Goderich and Bruce Coleman of RR 4, Seaforth, BOrms cheques, given to agents for achieving good loss ratios — eomparisons of premiums collected and losses paid — Went to Art Wright, Lloyd Montgomery, Bert Klopp, Ross Francis and Russell Knight. Walter Elliott of RR 1, Lucknow, thanked the women of the church for the dinner, , POLICE CHIEF Continued from Page 1 Weekend 0.114 be off-duty for five or ,PiX .WeeicS. The, chief and. constable Ab. Shaddick, along with, the two auxiliary constables, Are shouldering the whole load right now,. he said. At .a council meeting .Oct. 14 when the mayor himself was in hospital, councillor Cameron Proctor sought .to have Reeve James Armstrong or the police committee find out whether or not the police chief planned to meet the Noy, 1 deadline and move to Clinton, Noting that the next council meeting would fall, after the stipulated date, the councillor said he believed an answer was needed because .couneit's decision last fall left it no alternative but to advertise for a new chief if Chief Westlake did not move. Mr. Proctor said he had no. complaint against the chief and did not want to see him lose the job, but felt it was the police committee's duty to follow up on the original resolution. Both Mr. Proctor and Mayor Symons dissented from the MB vote which hired the chief with the condition that he move. Mr. Proctor also asserted last week that the chief was unable to respond to emergency calls because he lived nine or 10 miles from town: He said it was "ridiculous" for the chief to live outside town and charged that certain members of the council were hoping the deadline would pass unnoticed. Another result of Monday's meeting was the discovery that the chief's appointment had never been made permanent. Such 'action is usually routinely taken after six months, but was overlooked this year. It will be the subject of another motion to be put before council next month. Gripes aired at meeting School administrators, town councillors, students and police met last week to discuss complaints about parking, littering and other problems in the vicinity of Central Huron Secondary School. "Settled to everyone's satisfaction," was the way Reeve James Armstrong summed up the results of the meeting. , Consensus at the meeting, according to the reeve, was that the school needs more parking space, a new sidewalk in front of the school and that jaywalking is a "difficult thing to pin down." Other matters brought up included proposals for creation of an area within the school where students would be allowed to smoke. Clinton Councillor Cam Proctor, who happens to live near the school and who voiced some of the complaints at council sessions, has since said that he realizes it is only certain individuals whose actions disturb area homeowners and 'Police Chief Lloyd Westlake has attributed some of the difficulty to dropouts and other young people who converge on the school at noon and after classes end for the day. It was also revealed that students have arranged for a litter pick-up detail at leastevery week on the streets surrounding the school. Litter not TORONTO—Litter can create potentially dangerous situations for motorists. Broken glass on the pavement can cause a blow-out. Flying paper can obscure a driver's view at a crucial moment. Obstructions on the road can cause a driver to swerve, At the current allowable speeds on our highways, any of these situations could result — directly or indirectly — in a serious accident. Drive Safely and deposit any litter in an appropriate container — never on the highway. Last year, 353 persons were convicted of littering the highways in Ontario. In addition, many were stopped by the pblice and warned about the fine for littering. But it ebstS you money either way, for Ontario taxpayers pay the $970,000 tab is costs to keep the highways clean. Deep a litter bag in your car and help keep Ontario clean. The eighth convention of the centre region, Huron-Perth Presbyterial, United Church Women, was held in Duff's United Church, Walton. Miss Gail McCall, supervisor of the Women's Division of London Rescue Mission, was the guest speaker. In telling about her work, she said they had a three-storey house with about 17 beds. They help women, girls and children who come from many unfortunate circumstances. Their needs are supported by a city grant and donations. Some of their needs are prayer support, linens, toilet articles, playing cards, table games, toys, underwear, socks, nylons, night wear and children's pyjamas. Their washing machine and their linens need replacing in the near future. Mrs. Orval Harrison, regional president, chaired the meeting while Mrs. Ian Wilbee presided at the piano. Those in charge of registration and selling the dinner tickets were Mrs. Harvey Craig and Mrs. Jas. Clark. Mrs. Nelson Reid was appointed secretary for the day. The morning worship service was conducted by Mrs. G. Ribey and Mrs. P. Dunloi from the Attitude is important FIRST JOB OVERRATED The importance of the first job tends to be overrated, says the federal health department publication, "Understanding the Young Adult." If the choice has been a poor one, other opportunities will follow. The important thing is to try to do well whatever the choice. At this age, it's the attitude and enthusiasm toward the job that counts more than it being the "right" job, says the publication. Experience, interest and aptitude make for success. Situations and people change, but work habits — like conscientiousness, dependability and thoroughness — when learned early, will prove invaluable later on. Non-resident fees are cut sharply Co-op insurance men receive bonus cheques Seaforth U.C.W. The closing worship service was by Mrs. Dave Anderson of the Londesboro U.C.W. Words of welcome were given by Mrs. Alvin McDonald of Walton U.C.W.

Mrs. McDonald reported financial returns are $2,000 lower than last year at this time. Mrs. Kennedy stressed the resource packet to go with the study of this year. Greetings from Huron-Perth Presbyterial was brought to the Centre Region by the president, Mrs. Harold Babensee of Stratford. She asked that names of elegible women to fill vacancies in the list of officers be sent to Mrs. Gilbert Beecroft, Belgrave. The morning session was dismissed by prayer by Mrs. Batkin of Clinton. The afternoon session was opened with a sing-song conducted by Rev. D. Docker when he introduced two new songs along with some gospel hymns. Mrs. Herb Traviss and Mrs. E. Mitchell provided a piano-violin number. Highlights from the School for Church women, held in Alma College last August were presented by Mrs. Stewart Miner.
