CHARLES WESLEY DOWN Exeter lost one of its oldest and well known citizens when the Reverend Charles Down passed away in South Huron Hospital, April 26, 1970, in his 92nd year. Mr. Down's wife the former Bertha Roan tree predeceased him in 1958. Ordained in 1908 at James Street Methodist Church, Exeter, he went to Saskatchewan where he served as a Minister in several charges until 1933.

Flowerbearers were Ernie Cerson , Carfrey Cann, Lloyd Henderson and Mervyn Cudmore. school where similar changes could be made as economically. If the inclusion of library facilities would entail a major expenditure, Mr. Elliott suggested, including perhaps the construction of a new room, then it would be an entirely different matter. The board also approved the purchase of a portable classroom at a cost of approximately $9,500 to $10,000 for Colborne Central School "just across the river" from Goderich Township's Holmesville School. Mrs. Marilyn Kunder, Seaforth, asked whether the board would give consideration to relieving the overcrowded conditions at Colborne by transporting students to Holmesville where a classroom was available. In Mrs. Kunder's opinion, such a move would eliminate the need for any expenditure at either school. She learned this was not being considered at the present time. It was interesting to note that projected figures over the next five years show that enrolment in both schools, Holmesville and Colborne, will drop. Enrolment at Holmesville is predicted to drop from the present enrolment of 310 to 244 in 1973. At Colborne, present enrolment is 276 and in 1973 it is expected to be 241. Board members learned of the following resignations and retirements: Mrs. Elizabeth Moore, Exeter PS; Mrs. Elizabth Suter, F.E. Madill SS; Ronald Hunt and Donald Fischer, Goderich DCI; Mrs. Carolyne Wood, Huron Centennial School; Mrs. Roberta Machan, Robertson Memorial School, Goderich; Mrs. Margaret Box, Stephen Central School; Mrs. Lynne MacRae and Mrs. Carol Westlake, Turnberry CS; and Miss Elizabeth Goldthorpe, Wingham PS. BUDGET COMING The budget should be ready following a meeting Thursday evening. The only information at .a 4 The question of priorities where school libraries is concerned came to the fore Monday evening at the regular meeting of the Huron County Board of Education. Although approval was given for a classroom in the Holmesville Public School to be converted into a library at the estimated cost of $1,500, several board members asked what priority the board was putting on establishing libraries in other county elementary schools where there were no facilities at present, Vice-chairman Bob Elliott, Goderich Township, said that the library was requested for Holmesville School because it was evident that a classroom could be made available without causing any overcrowding at the school. He said the $1,500 expenditure was for shelving, tables and basic library furnishings and that he would be prepared to approve a motion to include library facilities at any Huron County elementary KI RKTON HONDA Mini-Trail ON DISPLAY AT Atthill's Esso 229-8952 • QUALITY APPLIANCES PRICED FOR THIS OCCASION SEATS, AS IT _.,.. 4t t.i'l; ••• A HOOVER "DIAL-A-MATIC" YOUR UPRIGHT VACUUM SWEEPS, AS IT CLEANS ALL RUGS , CHOICE ADMIRAL 12-INCH PORTABLE TV IDEAL FOR BEDROOM, PORCH, COTTAGE, ETC.
