Personals It was a busy place in the Hoggartg' workshop last Friday night when a Bestline Float was assembled by Jack and Nancy Phillips of Dungannon. They entered it in the Lucknow parade last Saturday and, - to many children's surprise, Mrs. Santa was on the float. It has been reported that several township residents have gone to Florida for the holiday season. It is hoped that they will arrive home safely and report to the paper. Murray Hoggart was a guest at Jeff Leitch's birthday party last Sunday. Ken and Barb Hoggart spent all day Sunday with Allison, Darrel and Travis Postill. Art and John Hoggart and Jack Phillips attended a Bestline Product P.fqii seminar in Toronto last Sun- day. They arrived home safely Sunday evening just bubbling with excitement; eg. they lear- ned to shampoo their lawns next spring. It was reported that Art Bell and Bill Elliott shot a wolf on the 4th concession, of Goderich township. It is too bad Huron county has been invaded by these wolves, possibly due to the lifting of the bounty. Mary Jane Hoggart of Seaforth is the Hoggart children's great-grandmother and she celebrated her 81st bir- thday December 17 by going to Zurich to visit and have lunch with Nancy Riley who will be 98 on January 15. Then great- grandma, Barbara and Helen arrived at the Hoggart's township home, had supper and attended the Holmesville School Concert. Being a ' diabetic, great-grandma can't have birthday cake, but she sure enjoyed Art Bell's apples with candles in.

To date they have not been able to participate in extra curricular activities because they must return to Seaforth on the 3:15 p.m. bus from Clinton in order to catch their bus in Seaforth for their homes at 4 p,m. The proposal calls for the late bus to leave Clinton at 4:15 p.m. When Trustee John Henderson, RR 5, Seaforth, made the proposal first at the Oc- to'ber meeting of the board he was defeated twice by one vote each time, At the board meeting in Clinton Monday, Herbert Turkheim of Zurich, asked that the proposal be reconsidered so that the board members would be fully informed of the facts. He said that the Seaforth students were taking courEles at the Clinton school, not offered at Seaforth High School and that the early bus meant they missed out on the extra curricular activities such as student council, glee club, camera club and they were the only students in the county denied these activities. At the October meeting Robert Homuth, principal of the Clinton secondary school had stated that the Seaforth students in the Clinton school were in a unique situation different from any other group in the county where they were denied the op- portunity to have part in extra curricular acti'ity. Mr. Turkheim said that the Murphy Bus Company had a bus available for the late bus service which would cost the board $6.70 per day, a small amount of money compared to the service provided for the students. It would be an express bus direc- tly to Seaforth and the students would seek their way home from Seaforth. Mr. Henderson said that, thinking of the students from Morris and Grey whose parents had indicated to him they were in- terested in the late bus, he would ask that the express bus go to Seaforth and drop off the students for that area and the north students be taken to the turn-around at Winthrop and dropped off there. The board members agreed to the extra mileage to Winthrop provided that the .parents would give signed agreements ap- proving that their children take the late bus and that they would be responsible for working out a way with their children of getting home from Winthrop, or the Seaforth school for those in that area. Mr. Turkheim said the express bus would cost the board an additional $1.05 to go to Winthrop making the total cost $7.75. ' Retiring Trustee John Broadfoot of Brucefield said at the conclusion of the discussion: "I think you'll see this is the beginning of the end of the Seaforth District High School. This is one more straw on the,,cemel's back," as he predicted an increasing number of students from Seaforth would be enrolling in courses at Clinton, while enrolment at Seaforth would be decreasing. Earlier in the discussion Mr. Broadfoot BY HELEN HOGGART Recreation News Arts and crafts, consisting of crocheting, knitting and Japanese embroidery were held at Marion Powells last Thur- sday morning. Due to winter weather coming, the Thursday morning classes will be in the township shed office in Holmesville starting January 12, 1975. Bud and Luella Yeo made and modelled beautiful broomstick crochet hats and scarves. Marion Powell sure is pleased to have learned broom; stick crochet. Adult volleyball had official registration last Wednesday with Alison Lobb taking the in- formation received. Junior volleyball ended last Saturday morning with 21 par- ticipating. John Westbrook kept score and assisted by Kay Harris and Marty Lobb, control was kept. Doug Alekiinder was a new registration and Steve Lobb .was a guest player. Spec- tators were Greg and Sherri had warned that the board should be careful that it not be put in a position where it might be liable in case of a mishap with students dropped off by the late ex- press bus. Chairman Cayley Hill concluded to Mr. Broadfoot, "We'll make note of your com- ments, and the earlier one too that no liability be possible against the board. We'll leave it up to administration to work out the details." In other business, more bus problems were presented by two delegations at the meeting. The first problem was presented by Mr. and Mrs. William Berry of RR 3, Goderich, who have not been satisfied with the Various solutions proposed by the board, the transportation director, R.L, Cun- ningham, and the Duckworth Bue Service since school started in September for the transportation to the Goderich Collegiate Institute of their two sons. Mrs. Berry gave a lengthy detailed outline of the problem, stating there was no safety problem for the bus to pick up the boys at the gate according to a requested report by the Ontario Provincial Police and that they should be given "same privilege as the other children on this route" and not expect to walk a half mile when others are not required to do this. Marion Zinn of Lucknow reported that the bus route will have to be re-routed away from the Port Albert Bridge because of a five-ton load limit to be placed on the bridge in the new year. The decision of the board meeting in committee of the whole was that at the beginning of school in January, the bus route will be re-routed. At the same committee of the whole, the board's decision on the 'second problem on busing raised by Ronald Bushell of Goderich was that a committee would be named by the new board in January to study the problems of some grade seven and eight students at Robertson School having to walk more than two miles to and from school daily, and that if these students take their lunches they have to sit on mats on the gym floor to eat. Mr. Bushell reported that only one teacher looks after the students during the lunch hour and talking and playing during the hour are not permitted. Superintendent R.E. Smith said it is not normal that should not be able to talk during lunch, and Mrs. Mollie Kunder of Seaforth said "We certainly should look into the teaching part--at the Seaforth School there is no problem at lunch time and the children have a good time playing games." A field trip to Detroit was approved by the board for the basketball teams from Goderich District Collegiate Institue to ob- serve a professional game on December 18 at a cost to the board through the school budget of $175.00. A cheque of $43 donated to the Queen Elizabeth Trainable Retarded School, Goderich by Court Constantine L1842, Ladies' Branch of the Independent Order of Foresters at Kinburn will be deposited for use by the principal of the school to purchase items needed by the children. The board granted approval for the Production of student achievement forms, school timetable and student report cards on the computer at Althouse College of Education, London, for South Huron District High School al Exeter. The work will be done by W ilard Long, Data Processing and Computer Programming teacher at the Exeter school during his own time in the evenings and on weekends at a cost of $3,200. A report on the utilization of educational facilities was given by the four-member ad hoc committee which has been studying the reports of the province's select committee on the utilization of educational facilities and reviewing our present policy as it related to those reports. Chairman of the committee, Herbert Turkheim, commented on the report. The other members of the committee are Alex Corrigan of Bluevale, Mrs. Mollie Kunder of Seaforth and Clarence McDonald of Exeter who were assisted by superinten- dent Robert Allan. Mr. Turkheim said the members had held five meetings and had submissions from elementary school principals and one secondary school principal, had met with William Partridge, Huron County Librarian and the recreation group' in Huron. Mr. Turkheim said they had received a great deal of co-operation from recreation directors in Huron, especially the two from Goderich and Exeter. Mr. Turkheim said both Exeter and Goderich were giving free ice time to schools in exchange for the use of school buildings. He said recreation directors said they would be willing to help reimburse custodians for any extra work in order to have greater use of auditoriums. Mr. Turkheim said Mr. Partridge would like to try a community library in one of the schools in an area where there is no public library, as a pilot project, to be sup- ported by the board.
