The Huron Presbyterial held
it's fall meeting in Knox
Presbyterian Church, Goderich
with the president, Mrs. John
Pollock of Goderich in charge.
She opened the meeting by
reading an article entitled —
"Can I say the Lord's Prayer",
from the 1950 Glad Tidings,
The hymn "Thou shalt arise"
was sung. Mrs. Donald Haines of
Auburn was pianist.
Mrs. John Hallam of Auburn
was elected acting secretary due
to the absence of Mrs. R. Dyke.
The devotional period was
taken by the Hensall Auxiliary
and centred on the theme —
Take My Hands. The minutes
were adopted as read by Mrs.
John, Hallam and the financial
statement was given by Mrs.
Arnold McConnell. The offering
was received by the Belgrave
members and dedicated with
prayer by Mrs. Pollock.
The guest speaker, Mrs. A.
Mundell of Wingham, president
of the Maitland Presbyterial, was
introduced by Mrs. Clayton
Edward of Goderich. Mrs,

"What Christ has to say to
Women," and based her remarks
on Luke 13th chapter. She
challenged the ladies to be better
witnesses for Christ in their
homes, churches and
community.
Mrs. Pollock thanked Mrs.
Mundell ". . , for her inspiring
message."
Mrs. R. Orr of Hensall invited

Stephen parents -would not favor

Wright, also indicating that
Stephen parents were prepared
to continue their present system
of providing transportation one

the school just west of Crediton
if suitable alternate arrangrrients

Wright said it wasopinion of
Stephen parents that
kindergarten aged students were
not ready for a full day at school
and needed the home
environment at least part of each
day; that students were apt to
become unhappy with school if
they were pushed into it too
fast; that noted educators
believed the half-day system the
most superior to all other
systems; and that cost is the
only factor preventing
transportation both ways since

board's .involvement in the event
of an accident on the way to,

Another argument put forth.
by the delegation was their cry
for equality with urban children
who can attend kindergarten on
the helf.day system.
It was estimated. by the board
that the extra costs would be
about $20.70 per day or an
additional cost of Omit $3,400
until the end of June,
It was also noted that. Stephen
Township was the only township
in Huron where rural children
were attending kindergarten
classes on a half-day basis all
year with the parents providing
the noon-hour transportation.
In Hensall and , Zurich,
however, parents , provide
noon-hour transportation for
their children to half-day
kindergartens until the end of
December. From JanuarY on,
the students go for a full day
every other day.
Vice-chairman Robert .Elliott
concurred that half-day
kindergartens were the best for
the children but he reminded the
delegation of the increased cost
to taxpayers if the system was
adopted county-wide. He
suggested more study' on the
situation before any decision
was reached on the matter.
The group was informed that
an answer to their request would
