(News-Record Photo) Bayfield Agricultural Soc iety’s School Committee has set to work to solve a problem - Which doesn’t yet exist — but could exist in the very near future. The farsighted group is try ing to determine hoiw the junior section at the Bayfield Fair would be affeated' should the staff at Huron County Centen nial. School and the board de cide not to allow the students to participate in the annual fair. . In past years, a large part of the children’s exhibits at Bay field Fair have been contributed quite naturally by youngsters in the village and the surround ing rural'area. While the pupiils at Goderich Township Central School at Holmesville will un doubtedly continue to patronize the Bayfield Fair, it is consider ed a possibility that students at the, New Brucefield school will not be. exhibitors. Since the. .student body at Huron County School Area One school will be from both Tuck ersmith and Stanley Townships, as weil as Bayfield, it has been /—....., • suggested that divided loyalties be,tween Seaforth, Bayfield, Hensail and Zurich fairs will pose a problem. It is consider ed unlikely the board will grant more than one holiday to attend fairs in the area. The committee appointed at the Bayfield Agricultural Soc iety’s annual meeting ‘Monday will act to find an answer to the question. It has been point ed oiut that without participa tion by the school children in Bayfield and East Stahley, “Bayfield Fair faces a grave situation”. . Returned to office for another year were President Orville McClIinchey; dent Grant Stirling; vice-president Ted Dunn; and secretary-treasurer Robert Stir ling. . . The financial statement show ed a balance of $246.03 with two grants to be received before fair time in the fall. Major improvements to be undertaken this year are level ling the grounds and installing heavier electrical services. first vice-presi- second Where The • vuXloO Aetion Is • /to Tvxrvln Arne ton and Oh Monday, January 30,. there were basketball games between Stratford Central and CHSS at Clinton.

It is hoped by both staff and students, that he will enjoy his work at CHSS. I had occasion recently to visit a shop in the city where bridal gowns and accessories are sold. Many thoughts ran through my addled brain as I watched the brides-to-be twirl ing in purest white before the ■mirror. I couldn’t imagine that so many girl's, at one time and in one place, could be so quiet. Most of them stood serene and! Silent as the saleslady fiddled with the train and interchanged’ the headpieces until just the bight one sat atop the bride’s lovely head. Then when the correct com bination of girl, gown and veil was achieved, the saleslady waited for approval—or disap proval — of the bride1. Most of the time she had a long wait. The young lady simply stared into the mirror, completely im mersed in her awn thoughts. Fortunately for everyone, most girls brought their moth ers—and their sisters, and their friends and anyone who might have a valued opinion to share. Almost without exception, it was*. the crowd ihiilling in the lobby just below the raised “white” room that cast the de ciding vote for or against a gown. Occasionally, too, the bystanders who drifted in from the street passed a thought .or two along to the saleslady. If .the audience oohed and aahed in just the right way, the saleslady led her about-to-be- wed miss into the dressing room to clinch the sale. If not, she selected another gown from the racks and racks of white satin and peau de soie and began all over to dress the bride for her most important day of days. Still, the bride was mute — engrossed in another world. where things were pleasant (judging from the look on her face). Finally, it was time for the fitting. Without a word, the bride stood. still as the dress maker gave,: her instructions — an inch off the hem, a tiny dart, ,.tq .'release ever-sd-little. at the bust, a half inch to be taken in at the waist, an adjustment to the shoulder. Lake , a robot, the bride’.turned on command,’ walked When told, breathed in when so instructed, bent her arm when asked. In time, when the gown fitted perfectly it was taken from the bride to $he ...alteration room. Like a mother watching her baby being, carried away in a whirlpool, the bride's face showed1 pain and her eyes were misty as the lovely dress dis appeared from view. Baek in her street clothes, the bride was of the world again. She spoke, she smiled, she moved without direction, she even argued about price. The more I thought about it, the better I understood. I guess it is some kind of phsy- cological thing that tells . the Former Clintonian Dies at Cobourg Word was received by George German, Queen Street, Clinton, of the d'eath of his brother, Roy W.

What those brides didn’t re member — perhaps it is just as well — is when the gown comes off for the last time, they Will be married and miserable just like the rest of us ... . and putting on the beautiful dress won’t make the dust go away or the bills disappear. -----------o----------- New 5 Cent Stamp For Expo 67 A Canada Post Office 5c commemorative stamp to salute Expo 67 features a view, of the Canadian Government 11% acre $21,000,000 Pavilion on the' 1,000-acre Montreal Exhibition site, Postmaster General Jean- Pierre Cote has announced.

You can go broke just buyling batteries for transistor radios. Sugar and Spice (Continued from page 2), of examples. Here’s an elder-, •ly couple on a small, fixed income. After years of strug gling, they a own their own house. They pay $400 a year in municipal taxes. About half of that is for education, even though they’ve paid taxes for years to educate their own children or, if child less, somebody else’s. This system makes' a mock ery of the concept that every Child has the same education al opportunities. Don’t try to tell me that the kid in a poor bu?Jh town in the north 'has the same facilities, options and quality -of teaching as the kid in a rich suburb. He simply does not. Money makes the difference. And speaking of inequalit ies, isn’t there something quite ridiculous in a country of 20 million having 10 sep arate and distinct educational systems? Much larger coun tries have one system, and yet have far more diversity and opportunity within that one than we have -with our 10 rigfid and separate ones. It is provincialism, literally and figuratively. Rigidity is another thing that sticks in my craw, i We have rigid curriculums, rigid timetables, rigid divisions of the school year, and anything else rigid that avoids diffi culty . and . keeps the vast, Victorian vehicle Shambling along somehow. You knolw wliat? I’m get ting a little worked up about this. But you can’t keep a good belch down, 'and I’ve been developing indigestion over the whole business for some time. So rather than galloping off in all directions, let’s say this ■is the first of a series of articles on education by a plain, ordinary layman.
