Snowmobiles — Continued from front page which gave people permission to drive directly to their homes after curfew. "Anyone they stopped would just say he was going directly to his home," Boyle stated. tif Skinner opined that many of the complaints against snowmobilers were not caused by local operators, but by persons from out-of-town, He explained there was little snow in the country and people • were bringing their machines in pickup trucks to Exeter to drive on local streets and at the fairgrounds. Club members also noted they had spent $300 to purchase large numbers for their members' machines in an effort to help police track down those raising complaints, but the expenditure was being wasted by the establishment of the bylaw. Grant Skinner suggested everyone operating a snow vehicle in Exeter should be required to have one of the numbers or stay out of town, "Perhaps the townships will say the same thing to you," Councillor Tom MacMillan replied. Councillor Mery Cudmere said he was inclined to agree with an editorial in last week's edition of the T-A which suggested action was being taken against the wrong people and the manufacturers of the machines should be required to make vehicles which are less noisy. He said there would be few • problems if they didn't make much noise. Deputy-Reeve Don MacGregor agreed, adding that an end to television interference would also be helpful. At the end of the discussion, Mayor Delbridge indicated council would stick with the bylaw, noting that amendments could be made. He said these could be more lenient or more stringent, depending upon the co- operation received from snowmobilers. Grand Bend United Church, Sunday, with the Rev. H.

Several cars ended up in the ditch and at one time the Exeter OPP closed Highway 4 to south- bound traffic after reports of several cars in the ditch. The road was closed around 9:20 p.m. and opened an hour and a half later as the storm started to subside. Persons who became stuck and had to walk for assistance were chilled by the high winds and temperatures hovering around 15 degrees below zero. Stephen council — Continued from front page A Federation of Agriculture delegation headed by Huron president Mason Bailey asked that the two-fifths of a mill deduction on farm taxes be continued. At the first meeting of the year, Lloyd Willert representing the National Farmers Union asked for a grant of $100 for the district local. Approval was given to an Ontario Department of Tran- sportation plan to erect "No Parking for 50 feet' signs on all approaches to the Highway 83 and County Road intersection, in Dashwood, A request from the Dashwood Police Village trustees to name Emil Becker as Dashwood fire chief replacing Gerald Martene who recently resigned was ap- proved. Two members of the Huron County Board of Education fought Monday evening for some changes in the new system under which the board is operating, but seemed to give up in frustration as the remaining 14 members voted in a block against them, Mollie Kunder of Seaforth had served notice of motion in December that she would try to have the question of the board's present committee system reopened. However, during the interim the Chairman's Advisory Committee comprised of R. M. Elliott, chairman; John Broadfoot, vice-chairman; Cayley Hill, chairman of the management committee; and Mrs. Marion Zinn, chairman of the education committee; met and drafted some changes which came before the board at its regular January meeting. Mrs. Kunder and John Hen- derson, McKillop, argued that the meetings of the Chairman's Advisory Committee should be open to any board member who cared to attend. They said that under the present system, whereby any trustee other than the four members of Chairman's Advisory Committee had to be invited to attend, it was unfair to the ratepayers who were not represented on the committee, "Four trustees are running the whole board," stated Mrs, Kunder, "We don't want that, no matter who the four members are," retorted R. M. Elliott who urged the board members to "throw it out" if they believed the system to be unfair. A vote on the matter showed that only Mrs. Kunder and Hen- derson were opposed to con- tinuing the closed meetings of the Chairman's Advisory Com- mittee. In addition to the Chairman's Advisory Committee, the board has had an Education Committee and a Management Committee, each with five members; an Advisory Vocational Committee with three board members working with a group of tradesmen in the county on the vocational aspect of education in Huron; and the Committee on Schools for the Trainable Retarded, also with three members. The major committees, the education committee and the management committee, are to be enlarged to include seven trustees on each, "It was felt that since the education and management committees were composed of only five members each, some areas of the county could be without representation on one or the other," the Chairman's Advisory Committee stated. "It was the ieeling, also, that all board members should be in- volved in the work of the major committee, education and management," John Henderson pointed out that with seven trustees on the committee and the chairman and the vice-chairman, it would be possible for a committee to control the board vote on any issue, "That would be nine against seven," said Henderson. "What would be the use of bringing it to the board?" Chairman Elliottt said that was a disadvantage to the seven- member committees, of course, but he noted that seldom is the entire committee unanimous on an issue. In that case, the com- mittee dissenters could get support from the non-committee members on the board - or vice- versa - and the board would still hold the balance of power. "The seven-member com- mittees give everyone an op- portunity to sit on one committee and to have a vote," said Elliott. "The other way, four members had no committee and no vote on either." The seven-member com- mittees were approved with only John Henderson and Jim Taylor of Hensall opposed. Henderson then queried how members of the management committee, for instance, would know what was happening on the educational committee, par- ticularly if he was interested in a specific problem relating to his area to be discussed in another committee. He said that while all board members were free to sit in on all committee meetings (with the exception of the Chairman's Advisory Committee) only committee members had the right to vote, "You might as well stay home," added Henderson. "You don't get any material before the meeting and you can't vote when you get there." Henderson charged that much of his information comes "through the grapevine" and noted that in some cases, the ratepayers know what's going on 'before he does. "I believe a board member is entitled to know what's going on and to have something to say about it," complained Hen- derson. He was reminded that all Report break-in at Exeter home Saturday morning a break-in was reported to the Exeter police. John Relouw, 436 Marlborough street told police force was used to open a side door at his home. He was unable to find anything missing. 9f I don't hear from you, you won't be hearing from me , for a while. But you will hear again." Those were the parting remarks of Dawson Woodburn, a retired music specialist who has made a career of teaching music in secondary schools in Toronto, and who appeared before the Huron County Board of Education Monday evening tri Clinton to ask why music was not a subject for credit here, "Huron County's progress in music education since my days of attending school in the south of the county is negligible," Woodburn's report said, "There was no music in the schools in those days for various reasons. I return to the same community 40 years later and the situation as far as music education is con- cerned, is much the same." "Huron is one of the last counties in south-western Ontario to initiate a music program," he said, "My advice and help are available at no cost." Mr, Woodburn said that grants are available for music education in schools. He estimated that a board may spend up to $4,000 in preparing a classroom for music instruction in any and all schools and up to $11,000 for instruments in each school in which there is a music course, However, he said it would not he possible to im- plement a full music program across the county all at once since each music course would cost the hoard money "if not in the first year, in the second year", Extra-mural music such as is presently in the schools in Huron, said Woodburn, is a "superficial approach", He said you can't teach music in an hour or two after classes, each week any more than you could teach mathematics or Science that way. Woodburn said that students should be able to "read music like they read English", not "regurgitate it like a parrot" after hearing it over and over. "I think it is time the children of Huron had a chance," said Woodburn. "If you can't afford an instrumental program then start a vocal program at very little initial cost." The board promised to give the matter some study. Director of education D.J. Cochrane voiced his concern about a music program. He said that music was being offered in all the county high schools this fall as a subject, and he sincerely doubted whether there would be much interest for it. "The Board may have to sell music," stated Woodburn. Woodburn reported he has done some work in Huron County and has discovered that the best school music program is to be found in the Brussels, Belgrave and Blyth area. "The best music appreciation is participation," said Woodburn, In other business, the board was informed of the resignation of F.E, Madill, superintendent of operation, at the end of August; and Arthur B. Idle, principal, Exeter PS on the same date; approved the Young Voyageur committee recommendations came before the total board for a 'vote, "And just watch your recommendations from the committees," Henderson in- sisted, "Nine out of ten are passed when they come to the board."

Snowmobilers hold meeting The Exeter snowmobile club held a regular meeting Tuesday night and agreed that all members would co-operate with the Exeter police department in, an effort to curb complaints in regard to motorized snow vehicles. Two officers of the local police department, Constables George Robertson and John Cairns were in attendance and a number of questions concerning the new town bylaw were discussed. During discussions, club members were critical of Exeter council in not contacting the snowmobile club before the bylaw was passed. Club president Jim Newby said the club intends to police itself and each member will receive a large black and white number to identify themselves. The club and police will have lists of the numbers. The local club is planning a safari for Sunday afternoon. 160.20 • I I • Ticket sales close January 31st. Final draw date February 14th.
