to the interests of both officers.

e'stri
y, will be n, charge of the
conserve tion program in the
forest areas around Peterbor-
ough, Mr. McCauley's OAC
background, specializing in field

Reeve Glenn Webb, Stephen,
stated "thls is the first time
something ince this has been
tried in our area—I'm sure it
Will be succeesfill",
Reeve V, L. BecJter May,
was impressed with the equip-
ment. He hoped it would never
have to be used but, if it was,
he felt confident it would do a
good job.
Dan Dailey, the Hickey rep
resentatiee, rioted that the
district has not experienced
the tragedy of loss of life
through fire in recent years.
He hoped the maphine would
help maintain that record in
the future.
The new truck will feed

21/24nch hoses; two 1.Ve-inch,
and one one -inch high pressure

It is essential that the new

This is -the first composite
school which will be governed
by more than one school board
to gain approval of the Ontario
dept. of education. Until now,
each vocational school has
been erected by one board,
and then it has (if the situa-
tion warranted it), opened the
school to pupils in 'other dis-
tricts. This applies to H. B
Beal Technical School and to s
Clarke Sideroad school, both in v
London. Students from Huron a
County have been enrolled in n
each of these schools. In these h
cases, the school district from
which the pupil comes pays for
