the hiring of an architect for its
proposed $160,000 addition as
aeon as approval is received
from all municipalities in the
district,
The board indicated the firm
of Page and Steele, Toronto,
would be engaged when the go-
ahead sign is given.
Five of the seven municipali-
ties have agreed to accept their
shares of the debenture costs.
The board is still awaiting .de-
cision from Hay township and
Hensall. Both councils met Mon-
day but did not deal with the
question.
It was indicated that the de-
lay in Hensall was due to an
oversight and that a special
meeting of council would be
called immediately.
The board interviewed repre-
sentatives of two architectural
firms Tuesday but decided to
retain the services of the origin-
al designers of the building and

come up for discussion several
times, Hay township council has

no decision had been reached by
council. Other township officials
were not available at press

attorney, resulting from work
done on the St. Joseph road and

township will meet with the so-
licitor.
Rate set for cattle s praying

ing, 12 cents a head.
A supplementary bylaw provi-
ding for an additional expendi-
ture of $5,000 for construction
and $1,000 for maintenance on
roads was passed and forwarded
to the department for approval
for grant purposes.

were ordered paid to Hensall,

One of the major problems in
designing the addition, it ap-
pears, will be to provide a com-
bination cafeteria - gymnasium.
Neither of the present facilities
for these services are adequate.
To charge non-residents
The board decided to charge
all non-resident students a flat
fee of $12,00 a month to attend
the school. About five students,
not living within the district but
residing near the school's bus
routes, have been attending with-
out charge.
The policy was changed, how-
ever, after the board considered
an application from another
student who requested the same
privilege.
Requisitions were granted for
a relief map and drapes for two
rooms.
Principal H. L. Sturgis re
vealed the pupil -teacher ratio I
this year is 26.5:1, which is a
slight improvement over the 27:1.

The letter, whose author wish-
ed to remain anonymous, read:
"During the past year we have
been disturbed about the grow-
ing number of rabid animals,
"Let me assure you, there is
a much more dangerous type of
animal on the prowl. It is an
anneal disguised as a man. I
say he is a more dangerous
animal due to the fact he is dif-
ficult to identify. He is very sly
and prowls anywhere, anytime,
constantly watching for innocent
little girls. How do I know? I
shall tell you as briefly as pos-
sible and then ask the mothers
of Hensall and district to de-
clare war on this fiend.
"About one week ago our eight-
year-old daughter (due to a mis-
understanding) had to walk two
short blocks from main street to
our home. It was about 10.15
p.m. on September 18. She was
carrying her exhibits from the
school fair and hurrying down
the street. Less than a block
from home a dirty coupe -style
black car stopped her progress.
A nice -looking stranger of aver-
age build, with dark hair comb-
ed off his forehead (she believed
about 30 years of age), asked
her the time. She said she did
not know. Immediately he ask-
ed her a filthy question, to
which she replied "No". She
proceeded past his car and start-
ed hurriedly up the street. He
jumped out of his car and began
pursuing her on foot and yell-
ing: "Hey you, come back
here."
"In the meantime I had gone
out to meet her and called her
name. I believe this frightened
the criminal because he ran
back to his car and drove away.
I knew nothing of this terrifying
experience until I heard her
crying. By the time I reached
her she was almost hysterical.
tion". I say he is not too sick
to know just what type of at-
tention he wants and to prey on
little girls to relieve his own
passion.
"At least with rabid animals
their actions betray their illness.
With this type of animal there
is. no clue. .I hope by writing
about my daughter's terrifying
experience that I have alarmed
other mothers enough to put
them on guard.
"This story is fact and did
happen in Hensall. It could have
been a real tragedy but thank
God it was not. Let us take up
arms and declare war on this
beast. If we can't get rid of
him, the least we can do is make
life tough for him."
