Construction on the Grand Bend pumping station of the Lake Huron pipeline was back to normal Mon- day after a walkout last Thursday by 10 cement finishers. Ernest Donne, London business manager of Local 1059 Laborers International Union, said the 10 men walked off after a jurisdic- tional dispute involving work his union was doing. Also involved were about 30 carpenters who left after the 10 men set up a picket line. A. L. Furanna, general man- ager of the London Public Utili- ties Commission, said it is ex- pected the selling of water from the pipeline will begin by April 1, 1967. Enrollment at SHDHS presently stands at 769 and with an addition- al 130 students attending Central Huron in Clinton, the total sec- ondary school population in this district is close to the 900 fig- ure, Principal Douglas Palmer pre- dicted this figure would be even higher in 1968 .— even if nothing replaces the population decline experienced by the closing of CFB Centralia.. This news was welcomed by board member John Boyne, who said he had thought the numberS may be lower than they are. He indicated this made the decision to go ahead with the ad- dition a wise move and asked that the situation be made pub- lic. The local cleric explained that some people thought the addition Was not warranted in view of the anticipated decline, but that this was not so. Mr. Palmer reported ther e were still 67 students from CFB Centralia at the local school and said it would appear that this number would remain constant as there will be as many new porting on the Kin Camp held at Goderich remarked that "although attendance was some- what lower than previous years, I feel it is good experience for the youngsters and helps them to become more independent." DENIED ADMISSION Member Herb Klopp question- ed the principal over the decision that one student in the area had been denied admission to class- es this year. Mr. Palmer explained that about four students were turned away because in effect they were bad apples who created problems in the classrooms and in the school. He said the staff had met to discuss these cases and had a- greed that the needs of the ma- jority had to be protected and Exeter's RAP comitte e, meeting Monday night, heard a gratifying report of the operation of the swimming pool for the just concluded summer season. Not only was this the best year as far as the number of children using the pool was con- cerned, but a reasonable profit was realized from the entire operation. A net profit of $698.00 was reported by Rec Director Alvin Willert. The total gross income of $4131.60 was made up of swim registrations, $1,240; general ad- missions, $1,708.90; and gross snack bar receipts of $1,182.70. Total disbursements which in- clude all salaries paid out for supervisors and life guards and snack bar expenses amounted to $3,433.60. The summer playground pro- gram showed a deficit of$521.35, but this amount is underwritten by the Kinsmen Club, sponsors of the summer fun for local youngsters. In other business, RAP: Decided to start the ice making machinery at the Arena on October 24. This date is a week or two earlier than the last couple of years, but it was felt the junior hockey team could not get enough practice time in before their season starts. In fact, some years they have been forced to hold their early practices at other centres and sometimes play their first games away from home. Accepted a request presented by Willert, originating from Terry McCauley,that an archery program be instituted. Anyone interested in the bow and arrow sport is asked to contact Mc- Cauley or Willert. A suggestion has been made that outdoor facili- ties could be provided at Mor- rison Dam. Rec Director Willert in re- During this week, Canadian Forces Base Clinton is celebrat- ing the 25th anniversary of radar training in Canada. Twenty-five years ago the British and Canadian govern- ments decided that a radar train- ing school in Canada was es- sential to the war effort. A lo- cation in Canada was necessary because it was removed from the scene of hostilities and close to the source of Canadian man- power. In the early stages of the Second World War radar was a highly secret subject. It was, therefore, important to choose a fairly isolated area in order to ensure security. The selection of Clinton as a suitable site was also influenced by the proximity of the cliffs on the shores of Lake Huron which were similar to those found in England. Work commenced at Clinton in April 1941; 120 buildings were constructed and several 360 foot radar towers were erected. Royal Air Force personnel arrived with the radar equipment, and on July 20, 1941, No. 31 Royal Air Force Radio School was officially open- ed. Two years later, Canada as- sumed control of the school and re-named it No. 5 RCAF Radio School. Today it is known as the Radar and Communications School. From September 15, 1941 un- til the end of the war, over 500 Canadian technicians and more than 750 officers were trained at Clinton. In addition, 2,325 Ameri- cans graduated from the school. The first course of Canadian radar technicians graduated from Clinton in September 1941. Fifty- two of the original graduates have so they voted against letting the handful of students back in this year. Mr. Palmer, in reply to a question, said the school was within its rights to take this action, noting they had no ob- ligation to take students over the age of 16 if the students were found unsatisfactory. He said it was the feeling that some students should get out and work for a year and gain some maturity before attending class- es again. It was suggested that some parents keep their children in school against their wishes and create a bad taste in the stu- dent's mouth to the extent he never wants to return to school. He said they should be taken out of school before that attitude is allowed to grow, as many re- turn after the year's absence to do well. The students treated in this manner do not have their edu- cation slowed down, as they are all repeaters and they are usual- ly permitted to advance into the next grade upon their return. Member John Boyne said he was not in agreement with the action, but pointed out that once the principal and staff had made the decision, the board should not interfere in any way as the decision was not up to them. Chairman Ken Johns opined that some students need a year away from school so they will appreciate the opportunities when they return. No further discussion arose on the matter and members ap- peared to be in full support of the action taken by the principal and staff.

Fall Jobs PLOW TEAM AVC member Harry Dougall questioned Mr. Palmer if the school would have an entry in this year's International Plowing match to be held in Seaforth. Dougall said he thought one should be entered in view of the fact the event was being staged in the county. Mr. Palmer reported a team had entered last year and said he would be disappointed if th e school was not represented this year. He said he would investigate the matter and see if the agricul- tural teachers had taken any steps in this regard. Three top Ontario plowmen passed on some of their secrets of successful plowing to local aspirants at a coaching class held at the farm of Howard Dat- ars, north of Dashwood, Satur- day. Fred Timbers of Stouffville, several times Canadian champ and a participant in World com- petitions, headed the three-man coaching staff. Handing out further tips were Frank Ford of Hagersville and Cameron Mitchell of Simcoe. Only a small number of Huron County plowing enthusiasts turn- ed out to take part in the first of three days of tutoring in the county, prior to the International Plowing Match, scheduled for Seaforth, October 11-14. Saturday's coaching clinic was the first of four being held throughout the county sponsored by the Huron County Plowmen's Association, The next three sessions will be held on succeeding Saturdays near Bluevale, Brucefield and Blyth. Before actual plowing instruc- tion began, the coaches and Timb- ers in particular, explained some important points. He stressed firmness, evenness and uniform- ity of crown along with the neces- sity of good finish and covering of grass. "Whatever size plow you are going to pull, get a tractor that suits the plow. Get acquainted with your tractor and plow. Know what they can do," he added. VICTORIA and GREY TRUST WHITE HOUSE . PAINT Gal.
