"That was the reason for the resolution." In other business, council learned that salaries paid to the secretarial staff . have been reviewed and a new schedule will be in effect in 1971. There was no indication in the report as to the terms of the schedule except to note that sick leave credits will be adjusted from one day to one and one half days per month Question period to be ended BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER In an effort to shorten the length of the meetings of the Huron County Board of Education, the members agreed Monday evening in Clinton to drop the oral question period and to have all questions concerning the meeting or any lef Matters 'written out and tprgented to the administrative staff. The answers then would be given to individual board members at some time following the meeting when administrative staff members have had an opportunity to gather all the pertinent data relative to the question. It has been the custom of the Huron -County Board of Education to permit the members of the press present at the meeting to ask questions of the board during the question period. Press representatives requested the board to give some consideration to allowing a Maximum of five minutes at the end of the regular board meeting for the press to pose questions in the presence of the entire board. Gordon Moir claimed that if the board members were not permitted to ask questions except by writing them on cards, the press should not have that privilege either. Moir stated the press could speak to the director of education or the chairman following the Meeting if there were any questions, One member, of the press, Mrs. Shirley Keller stated she felt it was important for the entire board,, to know what questions were being asked by the press and to hear the answers given to them. Indications from Chairman John Lavis were that the matter would be included on the next meeting agenda and a decision reached at that time. BY m118,8g8I A14,01..

Mr. Coulter also presented a report on correct practices of religious education in Huron County schools. He said all the elementary schools opened each day with religious exercises and that no formal program of religious instruction was reported by any secondary school in the county. Mr. Coulter added that all but three elementary schools registered dissatisfaction with the guidebooks for teaching religion which were issued in 1944.

KELLER Reeve Harold Robinson, Howick, asked members of the Huron County executive committee Friday afternoon why it had not recommended to concur with a resolution from the County of Perth to abolish County Boards of Education. "I think it is regrettable," stated Robinson. Chairman Jack Alexander told him his committee had felt that since the county boards of education had been established at considerable expense, "they should have a chance". Reeve James Hayter, Stephen,, reminded council that if ratepayers felt the costs of education were too high, they would have an opportunity very shortly to elect new board members whom they felt would keep a closer eye on expenses, Charles Thomas, reeve of Grey,'said he had been receiving some complaints which should have gone to the school board. "Pm just not sure that the county school board is working very well when this happens," added Thomas. Robinson stated that since the Perth resolution had been introduced, there was an investigation planned into the workings of the Perth County Board of Education, Walter Sheardown, deputy-reeve of Goderich, asked the committee to explain its reasoning for not concurring with a Goderich Town Council 'resolution to have welfare assistance administered by the province. Alexander answered that the committee had not wanted to give the province "another foothold". Sheardown noted that welfare assistance cases in Goderich had risen from 38 in August to 53 in September, effective January 1, 1971. In the future, all secretarial staff being engaged by the county department will be channelled through "one person and one person only". This policy is set out only to retain uniformity among this particular section of the county staff, the report concluded, Drug education 'Continued from Page One) The teachers, said Mr. Coulter, prefer to include it incidentally in the regular health program or when discussion involving the topic is promoted by a pupil or group. "Drug education is an integral part of the health program and over emphasis is intentionally avoided," Mr, Coulter reported. "Generally four to six classroom periods are specifically devoted to instruction on drugs. These may contain information on coffee,s aspirin etc. as well as the more sensational name drugs. Instruttion is strohgest in Grades nine and ten but occurs in programs from Grades five to twelve," INVITATION TO THE Goderich Psychiatric Hospital ANNUAL CHRISTMAS BAZAAR Wednesday, November 25 1:30 p,m. to 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. - to 9 p,m.
