McDOWELL Gas bar — Continued from front page with additional entrances onto the highway in that area and also indicated he feared the noise and odor would detract from his property, The hotel owner also noted there were already sufficient outlets in town. The Exeter planning board had also studied the application, and in a letter to council, said they were "reluctant to de so", but advised council that the permit should be approved. The hoard suggested council should approve the permit with the stipulation that the building he removed and, the property cleaned up if it should fail and be unoccupied for one year. In addition, the board recommended that if that should happen, council should attempt to secure the property for park purposes. Council approved the permit, subject to the approval of the building inspector, but made no such requirements. Drop.ln centre — Continued from front page permitted in the "coffee-house". The group emphasized that while they would welcome adults anytime, to the centre, they do not wish constant supervision. Reeve Derry Boyle questioned the ability of the young people to prevent vandalism by intruders. He suggested that if the council deemed it fit to give financial support to the group, they would have to expect some "fatherly" advice and supervision in the areas of accounting and control of vandalism. Council members doubted the possibility of the group finding a suitable location and Councillor Ottewell warned that there would be several obstacles to overcome — the least of which being those people who would oppose the centre because of the reputations gained by some other similar attempts, "Personally" , said Councillor Bruce Shaw, "I think it's a good idea" and most of the others agreed, I-SOUTH HURON HOCKEY BEAT Extra help for staff • The T.A. had an additional helper this week.

"These are our new goals," continued Mrs. Zinn, "and we are going to strive — and I mean strive -- to see that they are met whenever possible." John Broadfoot, vice-chairman of the hoard, said the time had come for the Huron County Board of Education to "stand up and be counted" and to find out how many educators there are in the county who will "stand up and be counted with us." "If we're not prepared to look at morals then I think we have abdicated all responsibility as trustees because morals are the very fibre of a student's education," continued Broadfoot. He said the board must develop some concrete policies on which to stand and not just "talk loosely about morals." "You can't legislate morals," pointed out John Cochrane, director of education for Huron. "It is a goal but we may never reach it." Cochrane said he did not condone today's morals, but he added that the schools were not fully responsible for building morals in a student. He said Association >or the ,Mentally Retarded were assenting full control pf the nursery school located south of Grand Bend, agteiAnwueCdscfsridtmaetfrno4nfS otp.pag —dar e During the week the detach- ment officers charged 11 persons under the Highway Traffic Act and issued warnings to another eight drivers. There were two charges under the Liquor Control Act, In his weekly press release, Cpl. Ray Brooks noted that during storms many motorists are forced to abandon• vehicles and these create hazards for snow removal crews and the police. He suggested that motorists who find themselves in the position of having to leave their vehicles during a ltorm should advise the OPP where the car was left with an adequate description of it, Should it then be ncessary to remove the vehicle to facilitate snow removal, police officers can then advise where it is stored. The establishment of educational goals for the Huron County Board of Education — particularly one word of the first of eight aims — was discussed in detail by trustees and members of the administrative staff 4. Monday evening in Clinton. The one word was "moral" and recommendation was as follows: "In an effort to give direction and purpose to the educational system of the County, the Huron County Board of Education feels that all policies and decisions should be made within the framework of the following education guidelines: a. The development, within limits of resources available and laws of the Province, of each boy and girl to his emotional, social, moral and physical growth regardless of mental and physical capabilities," It was John Henderson of McKillop who questioned what the board meant by moral and physical growth, He was told that the Huron County Board of Education would do everything in its power to see that the moral and physical growth of its students was of the highest order., Henderson then produced a copy of a play which, he said, his son was studying. Henderson related that his son was required to stand up in class and read a portion of the play which con- tained some obscene language. He said his son hesitated and had to be asked twice to read the excerpt. "Is that promoting moral growth?" asked Henderson. Mrs. Marion Zinn, Ashfield, chairman of the education committee which introduced the educational goals to the board, said that lengthy discussion had been heard in committee on the matter, She said it had finally many students learned their morals at home or on the street or somewhere else in society. "Do we have the right to veto certain books for study," asked Clarence McDonald, Exeter. "We're laymen and we're not really qualified to judge the quality of textbooks for the classroom. If we're going to bap all books with obscenities in them, they may wind up with very few books," Frank Madill, superintendent, said that in his opinion students were better off studying these books under the guidance of a teacher than reading them in bed unknown to their parents. "I didn't always feel this way but I do now," continued Madill. Chairman Bob Elliott ter- minated the discussion by saying that there was a right way to teach such literature and a wrong way. The vote showed that the word "moral" would stay. Other goals of the board are as follows: b, To assist students to master the basic academic skills; c. To provide a variety of educational opportunities so that individual differences among students can be accommodated. d, To instill in each boy and girl a real desire to learn that will continue into adult life; e. To provide opportunities for cultural enrichment and creative expression, and preparation for the constructive use of leisure time; f. To provide for the continual professional growth of staff; g, To maintain lines of com- munication, both formal and informal, between the board and the community, the school, the parent, the ratepayer, the staff and the student; h. To encourage use of school facilities, both educational and recreational, by the community. KATHLEEN (SCHILBE) HODGERT Kathleen Schilbe Hodgert, Exeter, died in South Huron Hospital, February 17, 1972, in her 49th year. She is survived by her husband, Gordon; her daughter Mrs. Ray (Marjorie) Bennewies, London, her mother, Mrs. Warren Schilbe, Exeter and sisters, Mrs, Mervyn (Grace) Hodgert, Bornholm; Mrs. Wilmer (Jean) Ferguson, Hensall and Mrs. Norman (Olive) Ferguson, Exeter. The funeral was held at the Hopper-Hockey Funeral Home, Monday, with Rev. Glen Wright officiating. Interment in Exeter cemetery, Memorial donations may be given to the Cancer Society, After considerable discussion Monday night, Grand Bend council took no action on a request from the Ontario Marine Search and Rescue patrol for financial assistance in providing a patrol of the beach for the summer months. The request came in two weeks ago and was shelved at that time. Officers of the patrol were told an answer would be given early in March. Councillor Murray Des ,Jardins in charge of the beach committee said he has mixed feelings on the matter. The one concern of council is the lack of authority that members of the patrol ac- tually have. Des Jardins said he was definitely in favour of cutting expenses at the beach in both the bath house and the lifeguard program. "This saving could help to finance the patrol," added Des Jardins, Councillor Des Jardins proposes cutting the number of lifeguards on the beach to two from the four that were on duty last year. If the councillor's suggestions are followed, the bath house would be open from 10 a.m, to dusk each day during the sum- mer. Previously the facilities were available from 9 a.m. to 11 Inspector resigns The resignation of building inspector Colin Love because of ill health was accepted with regret. Mr. Love agreed to continue as plumbing inspector for a short time until the village's water system is taken over by the Public Utilities Commission. Road foreman Vic Anysymiw was named acting building in- spector. Approval was given for a village of Grand Bend ad- vertisement in a booklet for the Alhambra Caravan celebrations to be held in Grand Bend June 16 to 18. Peter De Jong of district Caravan 168 attended the meeting and asked permission to have fireworks display on June 17 at the beach under the super- vision of the Grand Bend fire department. Councillor Bill Cochrane told council that the South Huron k Seal drive next week The 1972 Easter Seals cam- paign officially gets underway March 2 and the Exeter Lions club will again be in charge of the collection of local donations. This is the 50th year that ser- vice, clubs have banded together to provide financial assistance for Ontario's crippled children. On November 28, 1922, men from ten service clubs met in Windsor and created an organization to co-ordinate and extend crippled children's work in the province. In 1972 there are now 220 ser- vice clubs working together through the Easter Seal cam- paign. Local campaign chairman George BuSche said this week "The Lions club would like everyone to join in the celebration of a half century of work for crippled kids. Give to Easter Seals and See What Your Dollar Can Do." Court — Continued from front page when he was involved in a crash with an oncoming car when he attempted to pass a snowplow. David Miller, Seaforth, was fined $20 for failing to produce his driver's license, Floyd Henry Desjardine, 'rhedford, was fined $20 for failing to obey a stop sign at Huron Park on Jan. 15, Fred Lamb's three goal effort was best for Zurich. Paul Corriveau checked in with two successful shots and Kevin McKinnon notched a single. as a professional development fund. However, the recom- mendations for payments must come from a committee of teachers to the Director of Education for his authorization, This fund will contain about $3,100 it was estimated. Reports from the superin- tendents were presented to the board. In one report presented by Frank Madill, it was shown there was a lack of parental interest at parents' nights to discuss student progress. This area causes some concern for the teachers and the board, it was noted, The sum of $9,000 will be allocated in the 1972 budget for the addition of a portable classroom at the Howick Central Public School; occasional teachers will be requested to register with the board and ef- forts will be made to call them on some kind of a rotating basis; and policy was finalized for school field trips, school purposes; and that Queen Elizabeth School be incorporated in the plans when the addition to Victoria Public School in Goderich is being considered. Huron County, it was pointed out, is one of the first in Ontario to incorporate schools for the retarded in with the regular day schools. This is going on presently at Huron Hope which is incorporated with J. A. D. McCurdy School at Huron Park. The board also gave tentative approval for a consumer education course to he taught at Goderich District Collegiate Institute in September. The course has been prepared by William Wark, commercial ducker, and must still have department of education ap- proval. Recommendations by the committee on professional development were approved by the board, including one to allocate $5 per fulltime teacher A recorded vote which showed trustee Garnet Hicks, John Taylor and John Broadfoot op- posed to a policy of walking distances for students to meet buses was taken Monday evening in Clinton, Although the policy was passed, there was considerable discontent shown among board members who questioned the need for it, It was pointed out, however, that the county board's transportation officer had requested the policy so that he would be able to arbitrate some transportation disputes without bringing each one to the attention of the board, The new policy reads: Elementary students may be requited to walk up to one- quarter mile from gate to school bus and secondary students may be required to walk up to one-half mile from gate to school bus and then only if after 8 am, except where a turn around or other travelling conditions may be considered unsafe to the school bus and students, in the opinion of the transportation officer of this board or an officer of the department of transportation and communication. Some trustees predicted a rash of complaints from parents who would misunderstand or misinterpret the new policy. It was pointed out that no changes are anticipated immediately because of the policy, nor does it mean that the transportation people will not do everything in their power to ensure maximum bus service for as many students as possible. The policy will, however, give some authority to the tran- sportation officer in the event of problems. Director of Education John Cochrane reminded the board that transportation is a "privilege, not a right". The Act states that a board does not have to provide bus transportation for students and that students under seven can be required to walk up to one mile; students seven to 10 may be rcquird to walk up to two miles; and students over 10 may be required to walk up to three miles. Policy was also passed ex- pressing the board's belief that all buses should stop for railway crossings. The policy states that "board owned buses shall comply with this policy when driving empty and all contract buses shall be encouraged to conform," There was some discussion concerning how the board would discern whether or not contract buses were conforming to the regulation. "Would anyone like to move that the trains stop for the school buses?" quipped Chairman Bob Elliott. Two resignations were noted at Monday's meeting, The first resignation was from W. H. Knisely, superintendent, who will leave the board's employ at the end of August for retirement. One other superintendent, Frank Madill, tendered his resignation at last month's meeting. Vice-principal of Goderich DCI, Leonard Boyce, has also indicated his intention to retire at the end of August. The board also approved an education committee suggestion that the board proceed with the planning and construction of an addition to Turnberry Central Public School to accommodate Golden Circle School for the Retarded and a library for public Zurich 6 - Dashwood 4 Five goals in the third period with only one reply from the opposition gave the Zurich Flyers a 6-4 decision over the Dashwood Bears to even the best-of-seven South Huron Hockey league semi- final at one game apiece, Midway through the second period, the Bears were ahead 3-0 on two goals by Stan Lovie and one by Jim Morrissev, Fred Lamb opened the Zurich scoring late in the second period and early in the third George Suplat and Ron Corriveau registered to tie the score at 3-3 Stan Lovie's second score of the game put the Bears ahead only temporarily. In quick order Dick Bedard, George Suplat and Ron Corriveau scored to assure the Zurich victory. • Hensall 10— Huron Park 7 Ken Smale scored four goals to lead the Hensall Cascadians to a 10 - 7 win over Huron Park in the first game of the South Huron hockey semi-final series. Bob Carlisle was next in line with a two goal performance while single goals were notched by Bill Taylor, Charlie Schwalm, Gary Kyle and Bill Chipchase, The Huron Park attack was led by a three goal effort by Larry Brintnell, Terry Millman checked in with two goals while Lloyd Mathers and Dale Skinner added singles, Dashwood 8— Zurich 6 In the first game of a best-of- seven semi-final series in the South Huron hockey league, Bill Hoffman and Stan Lovie each scored two goals to pace the Dashwood Bears to an 8 - 6 win over the Zurich Flyers, The balance of the Dashwood scoring was taken care of by Jim Hoffman, Randy Becker, Bob Morrissey and Gord Vincent with single goals. Raise $1,500 for children With all calculations com- pleted, the London and district Crippled Children's Treatment Centre will receive a total of $1,517.59 from the recent Crippled Children's Day at the Pineridge Chalet near Hensall. With the help of celebrities from radiostations in London and Wingham and hundreds of volunteers from this district, the Pineridge was able to more than double the 1971 donation of $746.50. More than 3,500 persons at- tended the two-day affair to consume 2,800 pancakes and 1,500 moose and venison burgers in addition to enjoying snowmobiling activities. Fire board — Continued from front page their department to service an area of Usborne in an emergency situation. Fire chief Middleton discussed with the board various items of equipment needed for the department and he was authorized to order the following: six helmets, one coat, one pair hip boots, 300 feet of one and a half inch hose. He was also asked to check the present siren for possible repairs and if possible obtain quotations on a new model. The board agreed to hold regular meetings on the third Thursday of each month.
