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 named in Huron Leonard MacGregor was recently appointed to succeed Garry Howes as Extension Assistant for Huron County. Garry has returned to Eastern Ontario to farm with his father in Glengarry County. Leonard received his primary and secondary school education in Smith Falls, Ontario. After he completed his Grade 13, he went on to Kemp tville College of Agricultural Technology and graduated in 1969. Mr. MacGregor is a native of Grenville County where he was active in several 4-H Calf and Swine Clubs. His father owns a hundred acre farm which combines dairy cattle and swine raising. He is interested in working with people and is looking forward to his work with 4-H members and leaders. 1.77 VOIKSWAGtg-Scale model with steel body, pla's 'tid trim, Red or blue enamel, 2.69 MINT-CAMPER—Pe r- feet detailed door opens;, sliding wins dows; 91/2" long.

Buy all three for triple the fun! 1.99 EACH 9 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. ;11 .'591ing'..59.at•Ple39r9ktoWa9.ft4,ei.Pk,/.59'.9;40,591i:b.59411:9•Nt9A194iintalit9•Mc,59 ,59;irz.5914.591142.Pi'eaWi9:4•Pii.Vgia5924Xlat4a97kc•NZ.9.V$10.9k1.-Vies•Piiiel.59iin•O9:4•Viik9-9 .,i1:1...,;k1q*'*VAin-Nin4fika4,i90,1inAlta..
