Parents night
at PB school
By JOHN VAN GERWEN
Last week, much to the
satisfaction of the Precious
Blood S. students, twenty-two
inches of that wet, fluffy stuff,
called snow, fell in the Exeter
area. The buses arrived late
Tuesday in the morning and
came to pick up pupils early,
about 2:20 p.m. Snowmobilers
had fun scooting around on their
snowmobiles in the newly fallen
snow, while it lasted.
The highlight of the week was
when Rev. Father Mooney, of
Mt. Carmel parish, came to our
school to bless the portable
classroom. The students from
the two rooms and the portable
gathered together to sing a few
songs to commemorate this
event. Mr. Haugh, of the Exeter
Times-Advocate took a few
pictures and Father Mooney
gave a little talk.
Parents' night, the fear of
most children and the delight of
most parents took place on
Wednesday. The time was from
4:00 to 9:00. For sometime
there was a little doubt whether
the parents could make it or not
because of the weather but Mr.
Weatherman saw to it that they
could.
Last week was indeed an
eventful week at PBS.
New assistant

forward to his work with 4-H
members and leaders.

Policy established
over police visits
Following a long and fruitless
debate on the subject of
kindergarten in Huron County —
a topic re-opened by a
two-thirds majority vote of the
members — the board voted not
to re-open the matter of political
activities where teachers are
concerned.
Mrs. J. W. Wallace had asked
k
that the matter be re-discussed
since it is now necessary for a
teacher accepting public office
even at the municipal level to be
absent from school without pay.
This necessarily affects the
teacher's pension arrangement
and it therefore dictates that in
order to qualify for pension at
the end of a teaching career, the
teacher must Work to make up
for the time lost on municipal or
political business.
The board did resolve,
however, that teachers or other
employees may serve as a
member of a civic body such as
the library board, the hospital
board, a conservation authority,
a planning board etc. without in
any way interferring with or
exploiting their primary
function as a board employee.
Policy was also agreed upon
regarding the matter of
policemen coming to the schools
to question students.
It was decided that no student
under the age of 21 years shall
be questioned on school
premises by any police officer
except with written authority of
the parent or guardian of the
pupil; that students should not
give voluntary statements
without first consulting their
parents or guardians; and that no
lockers and other depositories of
students shall be examined by
any police officer unless a
warrant has been obtained or is
authorized by a parent or
guardian of the student.
The exception to this policy is
under Section 112 of The
Liquor Control Act in that if a
police officer informs a principal
that he believes that liquor is
illegally kept or had he may
search, without warrant, any
locker, depository, motor
vehicle or other conveyance in
or on school property and the
principal cannot prevent him
from making that search.
Snow removal tenders have
been approved ranging from
$5.50 per hour for a man and
loader to $12 per hour for a man
and a blower. Successful bidders
were Russel W. Irvin for
Brookside PS, $8 per hour; Glen
Layton,ClintoriPS, $10 per hour;
Gordon Bosman, East Wawanosh
PS, $8 per hour; Glen Price,
Holmesville PS, $8 per hour;
Edmund Hunking, Hullett CPS,
$9 per hour; Walter Weber,
Stephen CPS, $8.50 per hour;
Harold Metcalfe, Turnberry CPS,
$5.50 per hour for loader and
$12 per hour for blower; and
C.A. McDowell Ltd., Usborne
CPS, $10 per hour.
Three more break-ins were
reported at Seaforth PS,
Seaforth DHS and Clinton PS.
The board learned that
perhaps 50 percent of all
damages have been recovered
through insurance and that no
one has been apprehended as yet
for the troubles.
Chairman John Lavis warned
that insurance rates could rise if
vandalism continues and
suggested that an all-night
custodian in the schools could
be helpful if the board would at
some time give consideration to
such a proposal.
Max Malpass, manager of
purchasing and transportation,
reported to the board that the
cost per mile for elementary
students transported on school
buses under contract is 52 cents
per day; for secondary students
riding school buses under
contract, 47 cents; for students
riding board-owned buses, 52
cents. This study is based on the
1970-71 school year.
The year-end meeting of the
Ausable River Conservation
Authority was held Wednesday
afternoon at Parkhill. Attending
from the Conservation
Authorities branch were retiring
director A. S. L. Barnes and his
successor Norman Patrick.
Chairman William Amos and
the various advisory board
chairmen gave their annual
reports.
Following is part of chairman
Amos's address;
In 1970 we have seen
development of the camp
ground at Parkhill, along with
the development of other areas
around the dam. It is interesting
to note the number of people
that stop at the lookout area and
view the lake from this point.
The highlight of the year was
the Biennial Conference which
was held this year in Sudbury.
The particular interest I had in
the Conference was the paper
"Policies in the '70's", as I had
the privilege of being a member
of the committee which
compiled the report, The
Ausable has extended an
invitation to all Conservation
Authorities in Ontario to host
the 1972 Conference.
The legal action by Redfern
Construction against the
Authority and M. M. Dillon Ltd.
required considerable time by
our office staff and your
chairman in securing
information and documents for
our solicitors. However, I am
happy to report that Redfern
Construction withdrew their
lawsuit a few days before the
trial was to begin. With this, the
Parkhill Dam project is now
complete.
We were happy to have the
Upper Thames Authority visit
the Parkhill Dam and
Conservation Area this fall. As
well, the Kettle Creek and
Catfish Authorities.
Huron County Council and
officials were taken on a tour of
the Authority. It is hoped that
this tour and subsequent
meetings will make it possible to
enlarge the Authority to include
the Bayfield River system, those
portions of Hay and Stephen
Townships which drain directly
into Lake 'Huron, as well as the
Village of Zurich.
The 1970's will bring many
changes to our Authority, as
with the adoption of some of
the recommendations in the
"Policies for the '70's", we will
find Authorities becoming more
involved and participating in
many more areas which will
affect our environment.
