He is seen congratulating George Martin, Morris, the incoming president, following the election, Secretary John Berry, Goderieh, left, and Warden Jack Morrissey, right, also extended best wishes, Swing To Central School In McGillivray Township Swing in favor of building a central school in McGillivray' Township appeared evident at a meeting in the township hall Monday when a majority of some 200 ratepayers urged that debentures be issued for the project without a municipal vote, The meeting was the final in * series which has been held in the school .sections of the town- ship to acquaint residents with the board's proposal to buildthe central school rather than in- vest incostly repairs to the ten dilapidated one -room s c h o 01 s throughout the township. Trend in favor of the central echo01 has resulted from detail- ed explanations of the grants available from the provincial government for the project. Fig- ures presented by Inspector El - Wood Oakes, Strathroy, reveal it will actually cost the township less to build the new school than to repair' the old ones. School board indicated Wed- nesday ednesday it will request council to provide the funds for the cent- •ral school. Council has the op- tion of seeking to issue deben- tures without a vote of the people or of requiring a referen- dum. r Reeve Favors Vote Although a number of speak- ers urged councilto avoid a vote, Reeve Earl Dixon indicat- ed he strongly favored a ballot on the question. "This is still a democracy," he said, "and the people should be the ones to decide." Some ratepayers felt the vote would be defeated because not enough people had. Attended the information meetings and they would not understand that the township could erect the new school without raising taxes, while it would require more money to repair the 10 existing schools. Mr, bakes pointed out that the province" will pay grants on the total cost of building a new school while it would only con- tribute toward about one-half of the dost of repairs. Basing his figures en an tell - meted cost of $1.60,000 for the new school, the inspector showed that increased costs of the new school would be about $20,500 in 1958. However, provincial grants would increase by over $21,000, !hereby reducing the actual cost to the towitship, Mr. Oakes said it would be much easier :to secure teachers for a newcentral. school than ter the 10 ungraded schools which now eXist, It Was asked if the greets Might docreaso after the net/ School was aonrpieted but Mr. Oakes stated that since he started inspecting in 199e, the 'readier Grbduetes T;ouise hitt son,.

Ellison Whiting, school trustee, said some of the existing schools were not worth repairing and most were badly in need of new water facilities. The Department of Health, he said, was com- plaining about sanitary condi- tions. The board had received one offer from the Department of Highways to purchase one brick school, almost ready to fall down, for $7,850. One esti- mate to repair one of the exist. ing schools amounted to $15,000 and this did not include a new water supply. Board Has Surplus David Henry, secretary of the board, advised that' sur plus money amounting to $10,000 had been invested in bonds over a period of two years. Additional funds had been invested by the board which would ordinarily have bean used for school ac- cident insurance. Members felt they would rather take the risk of paying for the claims them- selves and take the risks.' Trustee Arthur Simpson stat- ed that the fuel spent on the old schools and the janitors' salaries would be eomparahle to that required for the new school. Reeve. Earl Dixon said he felt p Elec iari Vote 67 Percent Slightly over 67,5 per cent of the eligible voters east their bal- lots in last week's by-eleetioit in Huron, Returning Officer Russell Bolton, 11.11. 1, Dublin, announced this week after making the offi cial count, Majority won by the PC candidate, Charlie dacNaughton over the Liberal candidate, Dr. Alex Addison, Was verified at 1,165, Totals were: AlaeNaughton, 6,947; Addison, 5,782, Of the 18,849 eligible Voters, 12,729 east ballots. Mr. Bolton said tlie offieial count revealed exaetly the same totals as the uhofficiai result i announced the night of the cicction. Final •Summary the greatest problem was that of transportation. Clerk Bill Amos spoke on the difference in grants for the old and new schools. Fred Heaman, a former reeve, said the children had not suffer- ed greatly wailing for the new •school but just how much Jonger they could wait was the quest- ion. He said, "when opportunity knocks, don't expect it to use a sledge hammer," toe Twed.dle, formerly the strongest opponent to the new school, said he had changed his mind since the facts had be- come known. However, he got a laugh from the audience when he' said: "Children won't get any education on a bus the way they will walking to school. You don't learn anything about nature ori. a bus." Other speakers included Councillors Thomas Hall. Earl liforley and Duncan Drummond. Eighty.$ecpnd.
