n
osed for HuroHS boards
GETTING READY FOR THE OPENING --Furniture and
fixtures were installed inthe new $165,000 addition. to
South Huron Hospital this week in preparation for the
opening Sunday afternoon. Above, Miss Helen Mc-
Clinchey and Miss June Lynn, of the staff, make up •:a
patient's bed in 'one of the four colorful new four -bed
wards which are provided in the addition. The wards
are decorated in beige and brown tones. Colored sink
and lockers, left, are provided ineach of the wards.
A million -dollar composite school, which.
would provide vocational education for upwards to
600 students, was proposed for Huron county at,
a special meeting of high school board represenia
ntOR
tives in Fullucost of
the investment would
be borne
by federal and provincial governments, with the
former assuming 76%. in addition, liberal grants
will be available from the province toward opera-
tional costs.
Details of the program were
revealed to highschool. prin-
cipals and boardofficials by
Dr. S. D. Rendall, sup't of
secondary school education in
Ontario. The meeting w a s
closed to the press because
Dr. Rendall wanted to discuss
dep't plans which have not yet
received official approval.
Huron MLA C. S. MacNaugh-
ton, who was authorized to is-
sue a statement for publica-
tion, reported. Huron officials
were ° enthusiastic about the
proposal and are pressing for
immediate action,
"Besides providing a capital
investment of a million dollars
in Huron," Mr, MacNaughton
stated, "the proposal can bring
substantial savings to taxpay-
ers in that it should forestall
capital outlays on the part of
district boards for some time."
The shift of students to the
composite school, he explained,
would provide for at least
some of the projected increases
in enrolments at all high
schools in the county, thus re-
lieving the need to construct
additional. classrooms.
The MLA also pointed out
