Another member of the delegation, Keith Gill, Grand Bend, said, "We feel the board has gone over our heads. We will provide the noon-hour tratisportation." "Since the question was brought up the board has looked into the matter thoroughly," Chairman John Lavis told Gill, "The brief presented by your delegation was given every consideration, The members weighed the advantages against the disadvantages and made their decision on it. As policy now stands, the matter cannot be ra-OPened unless some board member signifies in writing that he or she would like to see the subject discussed again. Then if by a two-thirds majority this board agrees to re-open the question„ it will be discussed Members of Huron County Board of Education agreed Monday evening in Clinton that they were dissatisfied with the terms of a letter from the Frank Cowan Insurance Company Limited regarding a claim against the School Accident Insurance Policy and will transfer negotiations into the hands of the board's solicitor, Elmer D. Bell, Q.C. The claim invovles a student who lost part of two fingers in an accident. The insurance company will not pay for the loss of the fingers bedause not enough of the fingers was severed from the student's hand. The board learned the fingers were lost from just below the second' joint on the student's fingers. Main problem seems to arise from the fact that when the students and their parents contract for the insurance at the beginning of the school year, the master policy is not in the hands of the school board nor is there any particular reference to the fact that there is a master policy. Some a_iboard members indicated it i" possibleto bell Again- That's ail we .can do at this .time," Jim Taylor, Hensall, told the board he would move to have the subject re-o.pened.

Don't you think that's a little ridiculous?" "We've let down all the people in Stephen because we've gone and, upset the apple cart," continued Gaiser. "We've really loused things up." At this point, Mr. Lavis closed off the discussion reiterating the hope the subject would be re-opened before the end of the year. on suspicions. It is my intention to contact you personally when and, if sufficient evidence has been uncovered to prosecute the person or persons responsible." In the meantime, the board learned of another break-in at CHSS as well as a Hallowe'en stunt at Walton PS and a minor break-in at F. E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham. In other business, the board agreed to give consideration to the inclusion in the budget of several items for the Schools for Trainable Retarded Children in Huron County; moved the date of the next regular meeting ahead to November 30 in Clinton at 8 p.m.; received the resignations of Mrs. Andrea Lee, SHDHS; Mrs. Madeline Aggerholm, Clinton PS; and Mrs. Pamella Scotchmer, Exter PS; agreed to table a letter from Lambton County Board of Education re Educational Tax Levy; and discussed a progress report from the Seaforth PS building committee. Concerning the last item, Chairman John Levis wondered if, the Department. of Ethication was aware - that in ,order to justify the home economics and shop classrooms at Seaforth, students had to be transported from Hullett. Mrs. Marilyn Kunder told them the idea originated with the Department of Education. "It is allowable?" asked Lavis. "Yes," stated Mrs. Kunder. "Is it advisable?" asked vice-chairman Bob Elliott. "Yes," answered Mrs. Kunder firmly. RY BH1131-fY J, KFL,LER delegation of Stephen. Township parents aPPeared before the Huron County Boaitl of EdUnation Monday evening in. Clinton to protest the beard's recent decision to standardize the alternate day kindergarten program in sehools across the county where transportation is a factor, beginning January 1, 1971. Spokesman for the group was Mrs, Doug McClure who reviewed the position of Stephen Township parents who would have liked to have noon-hour transportation provided for their kindergarten students Presently attending classes on a half-day every day basis. Mrs. McClure reminded the board that the Stephen parents had asked the board to give their petition some serious consideration, but that if it could not pee fit to fulfill the requests, they would be quite willing to continue on with their present arrangements — the parents of the kindergarten students providing the noon-hour transportation, She asked the board to re-consider its stand on the matter, or to at least permit things to remain as they are presently. Mrs. McClure again outlined the strong feelings of the Stephen Township parents that the half-day every day kindergarten classes were far superior .to the alternate full-day prograin. Vice-chairman Robert Elliott asked the delegation how long kindergarten had been operating in Stephen Township. He learned the half-day every day system had been going on there since the kindergarten classes began when the school was built five years ago. "Then you don't know from first hand experience whether the half-day every day system is superior to the alternate full-day program," said Elliott. "You've never tried it," John Broadfoot asked if the Stephen Township parents would agree to try it from January to June on a trial basis. Ted Wright, a member of the delegation, Dashwood, said he was not free to express an opinion for all parents ' of allen students iii ,StePliliriH Township. eve "Speaking as a parent with a you have coverage which doesn't child in kindergarten," added actually exist according to the master policy.

The one time member of the Dumbells cast of World War I days is a one man publicity department for Benmiller. Some time ago he personally approached several cabinet ministers at Toronto to do just what Mr. Ivey is now planning, but failed to get their co-operation. Now, lie is to see his dream fulfilled but by the efforts of another man. The hamlet of I3enm111er was named after Benjamin Miller who settled there in 1831 with two of his brothers. One of the brothers was Daniel, father of Jonathon Miller, Colborne Township's famed big man, who weighed 463 pounds. Johnathon Miller was later the proprietor of the Dick Hotel at Seaforth, the Bedford Hotel at Goderich and a hotel at Carlow. He died in 1903 at the age of 63 and the front frame door of his residence had to be broken in order to get the coffin out. The first flour and chopping mill at Benmiller was owned by the Miller family. Later, it was purchasod by David Rogers. The Pfrimn—r family purchased it • still later and moved it up the river to its present location when it was converted to a roller mill in 1890. Messrs Russell and,,,, Elwyn Miller still reside C, Beiirniller. Elwyn, will ttintiniie to operate the chopping mill on a part-time basis until the sale of it is finalized some time in December. The woollen mill was purchased in 1857 from Thos Logan by Thomas Gledhill and carried on by his son, Jesse, and then by a grandson, Ward. Still rater, it was operated by Gledhill brothers. The present stone structure replaced the old frame building in 1877.
