Clinton Knitting Centre' Mr. afid Mts. J. Anising cident Prevention' AssociatTim p urges everyone''who drives to keep aware of the following dangers: Some drivers talk too much. They get so involved in conver- sation that they forget to main- tain a safe following distance or are .slow to spot -changing signals. Some drivers stop too quickly. They are in too big a hurry to pick up or let off a passenger, and, in doing so, block traffic and invite rear- end collisions. Some drivers can be thoughtless. They stop the car and obstruct traffic when discharging passengers. Drivers should not park illegally while waiting for riders they should insist passengers enter and leave without delay along main streets, and should pick up and discharge on side streets if possible. Riders should be on time .,. they should not urge the driver to break laws to save time, or engage the driver in distracting conversation. Get him a two-wheeler for Christmas.

Board prepares for -blizzard emergency x1.4../7.4v1 iirt 7 ,tints. ion vowt) t inter c rivmg tips BY WILMA DICE In order to cope with wintertime emergencies such. as the blizzard situation in 1971, the. Huron County hoard of .education meeting in Clinton Monday ap- proved a program Presented by Cochrane, director of education, The winter emergency measures program will be for all schools served by buses where.stuclents might be billeted in schools overnight. It calls for all elementary schools in Huron to be supplied with a refrigerator and a stove if the school does not already have them, 11,t was noted that five schools will require a refrigerator and six schools a stove and these will be charged against the 1974 budget. The second policy adopted by the board was for the maintenance in the schools of emergency rations, the amount and total value of which should be determined and budgeted by the principal and staff, These rations .would include canned goods, dehydrated foods and juices. The third proposal was that the education committee early in 1974 bring a recommended list of Capital equipment that should be supplied in the schools such as propane stoves, emergency lighting. Other suggestions for emergencies which will be discussed later included some on medical problems such as requesting parents to send a letter to school advising staff of any medical problems a child might have and the maintenance of an emergency supply of any drugs or medicines needed by a child. The board approved closing the board of- fice on December 24, 1973, so that the em- ployee's may have the betfefit of the period from after hours on Friday, to '8:45 a.m. on Thursday, December 27. , The gift of a record play'er from CKNX Wingham to the Golden Cir6le School for Trainable Retarded Childeii, Wiriham, was approved by the board. The services of the Huron County Public Library to the elementary schools of the Goderich Township council are skit, angry with the land freeze slapped on them and Colborne Township on November 29, and in a tersely worded resolution passed last Monday night they want John White, Ontario minister of economics and in- tergovernmental affairs to come to Huron County and meet with, them and Colborne Township to explain his department's ac- tion. Mr. White had ordered a land free,ze put on the two townships on November 29 after Goderich Township issued Rockledge Inc. Huron County board of education will be phased out between January and June 1974. The board .had been paying $1 per pupil in the schools using the service and this was estimated to cost the Library $2,75 per pupil, The cost included part of the salary of two, staff members, cost of delivering books, postage and stationery for notices, depreciation on books, and professional time of the librarian. Recommendations from the education committee approved by the board: • that three students, Philip and Rene Caskanette and Debbie Ann Drinnell be permitted to complete the current school year at F.E. Madill Secondary School at no cost to the students in view of the fact the Bruce County Board of Education is un- willing to pay the fees for them, • that academic presentations according to the terms of reference of the edocation committee, as approved by the board on June 18, 1973, revert to the education com- mittee meetings and that the press will be invited to attend only the presentation por- tion of the meeting. • that permission be granted to the principal of F,E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham to send 15 to 20 students, members of the Senior French Club, to Quebec City on February 15 to 19, 1974, with the cost to be shared 80 percent by the students participating and 20 percent by the board through the school budget. The cost to each pupil will be $64 and the board will pay $16 each. The students from the Zurich area who have to stand on the bus trip to the High School in Exeter will have to stand a while longer. A survey made on all bus routes in- dicated another 16 buses would be required to seat all students riding buses throughout Huron, The survey report was tabled by the board until it receives approval of its 1974 grant ceiling submissions from the Ministry of Education. A request from Sterling Fuels of London was granted for an Increase in fuel prices effective January 1,.1974, for P. E. Madill Secondary School from 17.8 cents to 19.38 cents per gallon and for South Huron District High 'School at Exeter from 16.8 cents to 18,4 cents per gallon, H, Hopps of Wean will use his own car, effective January I, 1974, for driver education at Central Huron Secondary Schoel in Clinton and Seaforth District High School. Previously, a car was leased by the board for this training, James E. Reid's request for an increase from $15 to $30 per month for garbage removal at Colborne Central Public School was approved. This is a monthly contract, Harold ?ryce of RR 1, Seaforth, wi 1 be paid stand-by time of $8 per school da for January, February and March 1974 or $12 per trip as required, whichever is gre ter averaged over the season. He will use a 80 H.P. tractor and a seven foot blowe George Hildebrand of Seaforth, band, master for the Seaforth District High School Girls Trumpet Band will receive an annual salary of $1,500 retroactive to Sep- tember, 1973. Conservation Authority ups inalget for 1 974 A financial statement which includes the proposed budget for 1974 was presented at last week's annual meeting of the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority. The budget which will be considered at the February meeting shows total expen- ditures for 1974 at $450,000. This is an increase of almost $115,000 from a year ago. The big increase comes in the capital expenditures division where costs are estimated at $275,000. A large portion of this, $130,000 has been, designated for conservation land acquisition. An option has been secured on ap- proximately 61 acres of land along the Ban- nockburn River in Stanley township. It is hoped this purchase can be finalized before the end of the year although its purchase will have to be included in the 1974 budget due to cash flow restrictions. Other major capital costs will include $30,000 for development of a conservation area at Port Blake, north of Grand Bend and $20,000.for continuation of develop- ment at Parkhill. A river realignment at Clinton is expec- ted to cost $15,000 and there will be a $16,000 for the Webster land acquisition. The administration budget will be up from $112,400 to $137,750, The major change here is a 1974 equipment proposal of $19,700 which would include purchase of a half-ton truck, a bulldozer, tractor, mower welder, sander and float.

Goderich Township also requested that the Huron County planning board he in- vited to the meeting, which is to be held in the Goderich Township council chambers on or before January 15, 1974. Goderich Township issued the permit to Rockledge just hours before the land freeze was imposed, but Mr. White contends that the land freeze applies for the whole day.
