Thank You I wish to express my thanks to the Hay Town- ship voters who cast their ballots for me in the recent election. Joe Hoffman J udiciar y representatives, solicitors, Huron County officials and law enforcement bodies paid final respects Wednesday to Judge Frank Fingland, former judge of Huron County. The funeral service was held at Wesley-Willis United Church. Judge Fingland died at his home in Clinton on Sunday, December 4 at the age of 72. Rev. A.J,Mowatt, D.D., min- ister of the church, described the judge as a "man who obtained without seeking it, an impressive weight among his fellow men because of the strength of his forceful character — a charac- ter which never coveted ease, but deliberately chose the steep and rugged path where duty led the way and useless luxuries dared not invade." Honorary pallbearers wer e Mr. Justice Frank Donnelly and Mr. Justice Campbell Grant, both of Toronto and formerly of God- erich and Walkerton respectiv- ely; Judge A.R. Willmott, Toron- to, Chief Judge of the County GB nominate — Continued from front page Monday meeting had been called to fill the vacancy on the Stephen Township School board brought about by the retirement of W. F.B. MacLaren. He had been nominated at t h e first nomination but did not qualify. Nominated Monday night were Melvin Douglas and James Con- nelly, and it appeared as though the resort electors would have to go to the polls for the second time this month also. However, Connelly decided not to force the election and did not qualify. He had been defeated in an election last Monday for one of the four council seats. Courts in Ontario; Perth County Judge Harold D. Lang, Stratford; Huron County Judge R.S. Heth- erington, Wingham; Bruce County Bean men help OFU White bean gowers in Huron and Perth counties called on their marketing board to give financial assistance to the On- tario Farmers' Union Monday during the growers' annual dis- trict meeting in Zurich. The Ontario Bean Producers' Marketing Board now gives about $750 annually to the Ontario Fed- eration of Agriculture, normally regarded as the largest farm organization in Ontario. The meeting asked that the same amount be given to the OFU, a growing farm group that has become recognized as a rival to the older federation. One grower tried to have the OFA annual grant discontinued altogether in favor of the $750 going to the farmers' union but his motion was ruled out of order. Growers also asked the mar- keting board to study establish- ment of an agency-type marketing plan whereby it would handle 100 per cent of the crop sim- ilar to the hog and tobacco boards. The bean board now handles only that portion offered to it by private dealers as surplus sim- ilar to the wheat board's op- eration.

Members of the SHDHS board were told Tuesday that the on- tario Teachers' Federation will probably not do anything that would jeopardize the board' s ability to hire teachers because of their recent action in asking Principal Douglas Palmer and Vice-Principal Joseph Wooden if they would be willing to re- sign. That information was passed along by board chairman Ken Johns and Garnet Hicks, who last week met with representa- tives of the Teachers' Federa- tion who had been asked to visit the school by Mr. Palmer and Mr. Wooden. Hicks said he didn't think the Federation would "punish the board" by taking steps that might make it difficult for them to hire teachers. Johns termed the meet ing "very pleasant" and "helpful", reporting on some of the sug- gestions made by the Federa- tion. He said the representatives had indicated they would be pleased to meet with the board in the new year to acquaint them with proper procedures regard- ing relationships between the board and the staff, The Federation recommended the board use caution in dis- cussion of board affairs where matters of confidence are in- volved. Hicks explained further that they had been told that if a teach- er could not present matters to the board by means of the Vice- Principal or Principal, the teach- er should take the matter up with the Federation. Many chuckles were heard when Johns reported the Federa- tion representatives had noted there cis no substitute for good public relations". No sooner had Hicks finished his last comment, than one mem- ber wanted to know if he was “all through?" They then quickly delved into discussion of a party, which at- tracted mach more Interest from Court — Continued from front page Davis was fined $30 on the un- necessary noise charge and $25 for speeding.

CLOSE MEETING During the Tuesday meeting, members voted to go into corn- mittee-of-the-whole and Prin- cipal Douglas Palmer, Business Administrator W, D. Burton and the press were excluded from the sessions. As usual, the board failed to follow the generally accepted rules for the conduct of meet- ings.

When the meeting was opened again, they made no report from the committee-of-the-whole to the regular meeting. It is not known whether they were discussing their r ec ent problems or whether they were tackling some new ones. The only other mention of the recent problem at the school was contained In the report of Principal Douglas Palmer. He said the publicity of the problem between the board, Principal and Vice-Principal did affect the staff and students initially, but by De- cember 5 a normal t ea c hi ng situation was restored. "With the difficulties created by the addition to the school the students have enough problems without any more being added," Mr. Palmer stated. trl sincerely Five receive more money Five more winners have claim- ed their prizes in the Exeter Board of Trade Christmas pro- motion.
