contentment and true brotherhood under
the Fatherhood of God," he Said.
This service of morning prayer included
very special music provided by Seamus
(Jim) Doherty and the Bradley Bunch, Mr.
Doherty sang the Lord's Prayer in.a
beautiful voice and impassioned ex-
pression. The Bradley Bunch sang the of-
fertory anthem "Amazing Grace" although
young on years, this group sang beautifully
with professional excellence and delighted
young and old. There were at least fifty
children present,
Following the service, everyone enjoyed
the gorgeous smorgasbord picnic dinner.
While "the padre" had preached to the
people from a boat in the highest possible
tradition, this was certainly no "loaves and
fishes" meal! Three farm wagons covered
with white cloths made for easy serving.
Everyone had certainly brought their
favorite dish and lots of it, The president
of the A.C.W., Mrs. Don Middleton, con-
tributed striking flower arrangements of
bullrushes and. cool green ferns in large
stoneware jugs, These with beautiful
arrangements of roses and garden flowers

"down to the darn, and back again".
The Bradley Bunch also contributed fur-
ther taisical treats enjoyed by those sitting
around visiting with friends, just enjoying
the relaxing scene, There were several re-
unions.

A policy statement was made
by the Ontario Wheat
Producers' Marketing Board
August 22nd concerning the
price, of 1973 wheat being sold
as seed.
Mr.. Fergus Young, R. 1,
Ertnienlote, chairmen of the
marketing board released the
statement as follows:
"The Ontario Wheat
Producers' Marketing Board
has established the price of
103 seed wheat sold by the
board to seed dealers at $3.1e,
per bushel,
"The price of $3.18 applies to
wheat to be used in the
domestic seed market and is a
flee(' price until September
30th, 1973,"
Mr. Young said dealers are
entitled to add the usual
allowances for premiums and
processing to the established
price of $3,18.
This means that producers
purchasing seed wheat should
satisfy themselves that the dif-
ference between the $3.18 and
the price being asked by the
dealer is not inflated at
unrealistic levels.
The board chairman ex-
plained that in previous years,
seed has sold at about .$1.50
over the price of milling wheat
and the board of directors feel
producers should not be
charged unrealistic prices
because of unusual current
market conditions.
Seed wheat not to be overcharged

Workmen are busy completing the ad-
ditions and renovations to St. Aloysius
School in Stratford and Holy Name of
Mary School in St. Marys before classes
begin the new school term on September 4.
Howard Shantz, Stratford, chairman of
the ad hoc committee on building projects,
reported at a meeting of the Huron-Perth
County Roman Catholic Separate School
in Seaforth last week that there are still
quite a number of rooms to finish at St.
Aloysius,
It's "quite a problem" he said, as he
detailed all the work to be completed in
construction, decorating and furnishing the
$202,000 addition at St. Aloysius,
Mr. Shantz expressed the hope that the
school would be made ready for the pupils,
even if all the .work was not completed.
Gordon Ball, St. Marys, a member of ad
hoc committee on building projects, repor-
ted on the situation at Holy Name of Mary
School. He said work had slowed during
Pupils to attend
head of the mathematics department at
Seaforth District High School.
A vice-principal may be appointed for
elemeeeteryee schools 91, ,Mayen, operating
,
classrooms and over.
Due to declining enrolments, some
schools where a vice-principal has been ap-
pointed may be reduced to fewer than 11
classrooms,
The Board recommended that the
position and financial allowance for vice-
principal in the elementary schools be
discontinued if in the ensuing year, after
the decrease in enrolment occurs, it is still
less than the 11 operating classrooms.
J,P. Alexander, board member from
Wingham, reported that work was two
weeks behind at the addition to the
Wingham Public School. It is costing ap-
proximatety $36,750 for the alterations by

younger children) would he left in the old
school for the two weeks and the older
pupils would be in another location.
High costs in food are affecting the con-
tractors who supply the food for the
various cafeterias in the high schools, it is
reported, There is difficulty in getting help

machines to supply the food should be in-
vestigated.
Mr. Cochrane informed the board of ad-
ditions to teaching staff: Mrs. Dawns
Baker from Essex County to Exeter Public
School (special education) Domenico
Degregorio from Hamilton to Clinton

Fisher from North Bay to Howick Central
the past two weeks, putting everything
behind schedule.
Mr. Ball reported that the workmen
were now making progress in the work on
the $315,000 addition. "I don't think
everything will be finished when school
starts. There are a lot of small jobs, to be
done, and a lot of cleaning," he said as he
outlined the work still to be done.
Mr. Ball said he is hopeful that the fur-
nishings will be put back in the rooms this
week. He stated that the builder is making
every effort "to have as much work done
as possible so that the teachers will not be
inconvenienced too much,"
