Dear Mr. Editor,
As a member of a committee
of parents of kindergarten
children at Stephen Central
School I have had occasion during
the past two months to attend
several meetings of the Huron
County Board of Education.
Although the board room has
a limited capacity for observers I
would recommend a visit for any
interested tax payer to see their
board in action.
I have been impressed by the
magnitude of the responsibility
we have given these board
members. Their task is to
administer a budget of some 10
million dollars over an area
involving 19 elementary schools
and five secondary schools.
Perhaps it was not our idea or
even theirs to institute large
county boards. But they have
been instituted and it is the job of
the board members to see that
fairness prevails .and yet to
protect the individuality of the.
Schools and the people involved.
in them..
In this age of "highness" there
is a tendency for this..
individuality to be lost. It is our
job as electors not toallow this to
happen,.
Much has been said .and
written lately regarding
education taxes. Although the
board is not responsible tor the
manner in which these taxes are
levied they are responsible for
how the money is spent. It is true
they have a battery. of specialists
to advise them but it is the board
members who must make the
final decision.
In the evening of Monday,
November 23 a meeting will be
held in South Huron District High
School for the purpose of
nominating board members, for
this area. If your readers have
questions er views about
education in this county, this is.

These men and women on the

To the People of

An extended program of

and we are very encouraged by
the interest shown.
With over 250 residents, many
of whom need assistance to take
part in the various activities, we
find that the staff can not always
give the assistance required, in
addition to their regular duties.
To assure that the residents
will be able to take part in all the

the record books at major snowmobile races across the
country, Our '71 TX begins with a Star engine — from
twin-cylinder, 294cc, 22 hp, to the fantastic 3-cylinder
795cc that delivers 80 hp in.full racing tune. (Higher hp
limited to qualified race drivers.) Then we add the Polaris
high-performance racing clutch and Polaris Power-Slide

thick racing cushion, all the amenities of the touring
machines and you've got quite a machine. Perhaps the
best ever! See it soon.

to his fullest capacity.
He said fundamental skills are
developed through activities such
as touch football, volleyball,
gymnastics, basketball, soccer,
folk-dancing, swimming and
hockey.
Mr. McCarroll reported music
plays a prominent part in younger
students' timetable — rhythmic
activities such as creative and
folk-dancing, as well as running
and jumping to music.
Health instruction forms an
essential -part of any physical
program. Mr. McCarroll said 12
teachers and eight parents took a
St. John Ambulance First Aid
Course at Seaforth last January
which resulted in a program set
up in which 80 students are now
qualified in administration of
First Aid.
Mr. McCarroll spoke on
gymnastic equipment for inside,
he would like to see at the schools
to get children to use various
body skills. He mentioned
especially trestle tree apparatus.
The board will give further
consideration to installing this
type of equipment in the new
year.
Mr. McCarroll said there are
ten swim classes — all in Perth. He
spoke of the value in having
children learn to swim.
In answer to a question from
Trustee Joseph Looby, Dublin,
Mr. McCarroll reported that the
Physical Education program is
carried out on a budget figure of
$1.75 per pupil.
Chairman of the Board, Keith
Culliton, Stratford, in answer to
the press reporter announced he
will not seek re-election. He said
he had been on the school board
for ten years and felt it was time
for someone else. "There are
many others well qualified to
serve on the Board," he said.
William Innes, Stratford, was
not at the meeting to be polled,
but is reported to have said he
would not seek re-election.
The other twelve members of
the Board agreed they would seek
re-election, They are James
Morris, Stratford; Howard Shantz
of Stratford; Patrick Carty of RR
5 Stratford, who represents
Townships of Ellice, North
Easthope and South Easthope;
At a meeting in Seaforth
Monday, John Vintar,
Superintendent of Education for
the Huron-Perth County Roman
Catholic Separate School Board,
reported he had received a reply
to his letter from A. E. Robinson,
Director of Education for Perth
County, with regard to sharing
transportation services in Perth.
Mr. Robinson wrote that bus
transportation route maps were
not completed but that as soon as
they were he would call a meeting
of the Transportation
sub-committees of the two
boards to discuss mutual routes
where services might be shared.
Jack Lane, Business
Administrator, reported the
72-passenger bus for the Zurich
area would be delivered on or
about November 26 by Huron
Motor Products Ltd., Zurich,
rather than on the November 1
date as stated in the tender.
The Building and Maintenance
Committee was authorized to
seek tender for automatic
program units in 17 schools, at a
cost not to exceed $5,500.00 —
the other two separate schools in
the counties have them.
The Board approved
supporting the Kiwanis Music
Festival in Stratford to the extent
of a $75 scholarship.
John Vintar stated the first
progress report of the Board will
be available to the ratepayers in a
booklet form by November 24.
John McCarron, Stratford,
Physical Education Consultant
for the board attended the
meeting to report to members his
program in the separate schools in
the two counties.
He said there is good
distribution of equipment in the
19 schools at the present time.
The schools under the former 19
separate boards, had varied
greatly in sports equipment. Mr.
McCarroll said, too, that the
schools that do not have
gymnasiums are able to use the
facilities of a nearby school or a
church hall.
Mr. McCarroll stated that
Physical Education seeks through
selected physical activities and
related experience to assist the

Ontario.
Is there any place you'd rather be?
Ontarians are the kind of people who wouldn't be
here if there was any place better. We are people
who came from a hundred lands and stayed do
People with backbone and brawn and a hunger to
succeed. Men , and women who've created a
standard of living in decades that other lands
worked centuries to build. If we have a flaw it's
our chronic modesty. Ontarians may be proud to
be Ontarians and Canadians . . . they just seldom
tell anyone. Prom an economic point of view
that's wrong. The more people we have boosting
Ontario and Canada the better it is. And we've got
a lot to boost with. Ontario's war on water pollu-
tion, for example, is being waged and won. New
regulations, Many of which are the first of their
kind in North America, are being enforced and
many of our rivers and lakes are getting cleaner
instead of dirtier. Housing is another battle, and
on this front the Ontario Housing Corporation is
active in nearly 200 communities with programs
totalling close to a billion dollars. We need a
vigorous economy of course, to support these im-
portant programs. And, that's where you come in.
Though our productivity has doubled in ten years
and our incomes in twelve, Ontarians don't sit on
their successes. There's a demanding decade ahead
full of challenges and opportunities to make the
quality of our lives better yet. To meet these
challenges we've got to believe in ourselves. Which,
when you think about it, isn't such a bad idea.
Everytime you boost Ontario Ontario and Canada get a little stronger.
Government of Ontario 0 John Robarts, Perrone Minister.
