The board at SHDIIS Tuesday
night changed agents for the stet-
dent accident policy at a saving
of 85 cents per student covered.
In past years the board hashed
coverage from the Frank Cowan
Company, speelallste in muni-
cipal insurance, and the price
quoted for this year was $1.80
per student.
However, the finance commit,
tee had met with Bert Klapp,
Zurich, agent for Co-Operative
Insurance Association and had
received a price of only 95 cents
per student.
The policy covers all students
while they are at school, par-
ticipating in school activities, or
travelling to or from school.
Students wishing to receive ex-
tended coverage under the CIA
plan will pay an additional $2
dollars. It was indicated thin was
.for coverage only during the
school term.
Last year, students had to Pay
$5.00 extra for a full year's
coverage including $500 life in-
surance, or $4 without life insur-
ance,
In supporting the recommenda-
tion pf the finance committee to
change to CIA, Elmer Bell noted
the board was interested only in
providing coverage while the stu-
dents were under the board's
control and they wanted to get the
most insurance for the least
money.
It was reported that accident
claims by students last year was
$1,300.

Reeve Orval Wassman of
Grand Bend explained he didn't
mean the Stephen Township Board
in particular, but education costs
on a province wide basis when he
said two weeks ago that the in-
crease in the 1967 Grand Bend
mill rate was due to "careless"
school spending.
Members of the Stephen school
board took exception to the ac-
cusation and asked for a special
meeting at the Grand Bend school
Monday night t o clarify t he
matter.
In opening the debate, school
board chairman Ross Brown
asked the reeve why he feels the
board was spending money care-
lessly.
While saying his statement was
not directed primarily at the Ste-
phen school board, Wassmann did
question the possibility of im-
proper calling of tenders for the
position of janitor for the Grand
Bend school in 1966.
Vice-chairman Don Flear, a
Grand Bend representative on
the Stephen board stated emphat-
ically ((that tenders were called
properly and we picked the man
we thought would do the best job.
As it has turned out we are sat-
isfied with our decision. The
remarks of a goodly number of
parents at our open house as to
the cleanliness of the school is the
best indication of the right move
being made." Special

reunion at Sea
Acting principal J. L. Wooden
told the SHDHS board Tuesday
that his earlier estimates on
enrolment for September now
appear to be too low,
At first, he had predicted an
enrolment of about 780 students,
but had changed this to an expect-
ed total of 825 or 830.
Three factors listed for the
change in the prediction were:
1. The inclusion of some grade
seven pupils from the area in
the occupations courses.
2. The return of a number of
students from Clinton.
3. Probable retention of some
students from Centralia, whose
parents will be permitted to con-
tinue renting accommodation
there from the Ontario Develop-
ment Corporation, who this week
took over the former RCAF base
from the federal government.

passed along the information that
another $9,000 had been accumu-
lated over the years mainly from
additional assessments u n d e r
section 53 of the Assessment Act.
As this money was spent for other
things by the village, the mu-
nicipal rate for 1965 was upped
by six mills to compensate the
school board.
When Wassmann said the rising
education costs are province-
wide, he added, ,(I'm surprised at
your narrow mindedness in in-
terpreting my statement".
Brown quickly interjected,
"W e are the board that spends
the money that supposedly put the
mill rate up. You had to mean us."
Flear presented figures that
showed this year's residential
school rate at 17.6, actually down
.4 mills from 1958 when the
village rate was 20 mills. The
1967 general Grand Bend mu-
nicipal levy will be 36.5 mills.
He said this shows that the in-
crease over the past 10 years
in taxes is due to the municipal
levy than that for public school
education.
There have been several pe-
culiarities over the past two
years that have confused the
public school taxpayers in Grand
Bend. In 1965 when Grand Bend
became part of the Stephen Town-
ship school area, the village
school board had a surplus of
some $22,000 to its credit.
This money properly belonged
to the resort ratepayers so it was
returned to them by completely
eliminating a public school tax
rate in 1965 and reducing the 1966
mill rate by 4.5 mills,
In discussing the surplus that
has caused a lot of the problems,
Wassman asked why the school
board would carry such a large
surplus and was quickly told by
Brown that it was council and not
the school board that carried the
extra monies.
