THE ELUSIVE POT OF GOLD As we each, start down Life's Highroad, Optimistic, and so bold, Visions we have, we'll surely find, That elusive pot of gold. But oft, are we disappointed, For just when our goal seems near, We find 'tis another mirage, Which quickly, doth disappear. No doubt, Mr. Howe, you also, Did seek for the rainbow's gold, And also did meet with defeat When no gold, you did behold. But at least, you've won the esteem, Of all the residents, here, With your sunny disposition, And your smile, so full of cheer. From morn till night, on call, you've been, "Mr. Howe come here! — go there!" Yet you always found time, to fix Our window, our door, or chair. Could we search the wide world over, Fully, we realize now, That we never, never, will find, Such another Mr. Howe. So in parting will you accept The residents' pot of gold, 'is crammed with best of good wishes Another it could not hold.

The land is required for future planned expansion of Medway facilities. Last month the township offered the parcel to the Board for $2,500 per acre. The Board will appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board for an adjustment of a 1968 overpayment of $14,944 to the former South Middlesex District High School Board. Failing a decision in favour of the Middlesex. Board, the overpayment will reduce the 1969 grant from the Province of Ontario and will have to be borne by all ratepayers in the County. While the village of Lucan asked the Board to provide a school crossing guard at Lucan Public School some time ago, a study by the Board with Ontario Provincial Police officials resulted in a decision of the Board to reject the request. The Board of Education felt that local municipalities should assume responsibility for coping with traffic problems within the municipal jurisdiction, especially since there was nothing in legislation or regulations requiring or authorizing school boards to provide crossing guards. Finally, after hearing a delegation from the 49th Scout troop object to conditions surrounding a $5.00 caretaking charge for use of Westminster Central School two evenings last fall, the Board members, after deciding they could not alter their policy on the matter, did their good turn for the Scouts by taking up a collection of $5.00 among themselves to pay the fee.
