BY RICHMOND ATKEY
The county school board will
be ready to meet with municipal
officials and/or ratepayers by
March 15 to report on the
system's first full year of
operations, it was agreed at a
board meeting in Clinton
Monday evening.
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.

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.

McDonald and recording
secretary, Mrs. Orville Sawyer.
Mrs. Potter asked for reports
to be sent in to her by Dec. 17
and Mrs. Sawyer asked that the
annual reports be to her by Dec.
15. 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
