Nevertheless, the program would admit the feasibility of such an organized body to cope with natural or man-made disasters. According to the results of the test, the plan will be altered, One of the major concerns of the program is the effectiveness of communication during such an occurrence. CKNX radio and television in Wingham have of- fered their services, should such a situation arise, Mass communication such as this would allow helpers to organize themselves, without placing a burden on more localized communication. Another aspect whic; was emphasized at the meeting was the question of identification.

A policy regarding school at- tendance areas was passed Monday evening at the Huron County Board of Education meeting. It decrees that when a parent applies in writing to the board to have a child attend a school other than the one in the district and when several conditions are met, the board will grant permission for the change providing the request is made no later than July 31 in any year. However such changes can only become effective at the beginning of the school year except in situations deemed by the board to be of an emergency nature, The conditions are: that there will he no increase in cost to the board for transporting students to and from school; that the pupil loading factors in both schools involved will not be adversely affected; that procurement of additional teaching staff is not a direct result of such request; and when the pupil cannot obtain the course or subjects in his designated school that are needed to fulfill his educational goals, Boundaries for J.A.D. McCurdy Public School were established. They are Highway 4 in the east, the Huron-Middlesex boundary in the south, the boundary line between Con 3 and 4 in the west and to the north, on Con.; northernboundaryof Lot 6, on Con. 2 northern boundary of Huron Park and on Con. 3 nor- thern boundary of Ontario Development Corporation land. Permission was given to hire an additional teacher at Golden Circle School for the Mentally Retarded in Wingham and Queen Elizabeth School in Goderich on a half day, every day basis for 1972-73, Enrolment at Golden Circle has increased from 15 to 20 this year. At Queen Elizabeth School, enrolment will increase by six from 16 to 22. At Huron Hope at J.A.D. McCurdy school, enrolment remains at 15.

Accidents_ — Continued from front page on Highway 83 one mile east of the StaffaRoad. Drivers involved were James Anderson, Exeter and Alfons Goovaerts, RR 2, Grand Bend. Total damage was listed at $350 by Constable Quinn. Mrs. Edna Anderson sustained injuries in the mishap. During the week, the local officers charged 12 persons under the Highway Traffic Act and issued warnings to another 13. There were three charges under the Liquor Control Act and • 10 under the Criminal Code. Dominion Street area who attend Colborne Street School. Mrs. Donna Nesbitt, spokesman for the group, described conditions prompting the request. These included traffic hazards such as heavy vehicle traffic, lack of sidewalks and crossing guards, and un- satisfactory accommodation for students remaining at school during the lunch hour. Some of the pupils live more than a mile and a half from the school. Since board policy does not provide for busing students who live within town limits, the Trustees were reluctant to set a precedent by granting the The board also ratified its salary agreements with teachers for the 1972-73 school year. Previously ratified by the teachers, the new agreements provide a salary range of $7,100 to $16,300 for about 230 secondary school teachers, and $5,300 to $16,300 for about 400 elerhentary teachers. And the board had a recom- mendation to make about the development of the Erie Economic Region. It endorsed a committtee report favouring decentralized development in the county under supervision of a development board. The school board feels that such a plan will help maintain school populations, and give local representatives a voice in development of their own area. It would also distribute ex- pansion instead of concentrating it near London; and it would simplify liaison between educational and other municipal bodies with the County development Board. In other business, the board accepted the low bid from Mid- Delaware Construction Limited for the 1972 addition and alterations to Mosa Public School, The tender of $353,000 was almost $32,000 over budget and was accepted subject to specification changes that will reduce the cost. The low tender for an addition and alterations program at Strathroy D.C.I. was not ac- cepted because it was 33 percent higher than the budget allowance of $163,655. Board officials will work with the architect and the low bidder to find areas where the cost can be cut back.

Other young people competing from this area were Brenda Murray and Wanda Newby, Exeter, doing Highland dancing, Brian and Ronnie Denys, Zurich, who did a vocal duet, Michelle Robinson, Kirkton, who did a tap dance, and Pamela Rodd, Woodham who also sang. The 17 entries were chosen from approximately 90 children who auditioned for the preliminaries. Clare French, music instructor at South Perth Centennial School was the ad- judicator for the show. The professional talent show was highlighted by a surprise visit from Billy Meek, a regular performer on the Pig and Whistle Show. The grand finale was a display of tumbling and acrobatics by the very agile Bouncing Benton Family, three girls and their brother, from Ohio. Four Exeter people last week attended the first meeting of what will come to be known as HOMAD — Hospitals For Multi- Activity Disaster. Mrs. W.M. Wilson, Directoteof Nursing at South Huron Hospital, Mrs. Bob Pooley, director of Emergency for the hospital, Police Chief Ted Day, and Reeve Derry Boyle, attended the initial meeting as representatives of those groups which would be immediately involved if any kind of disaster should occur in the area. The disaster plan is the idea of George Jones, an Ontario Hospital Association operational services director. He told the conference that disasters are becoming larger and more frequent, and that hospitals must be involved in a larger co- ordinated plan to face modern emergencies, The plan is to be tested in a group of 11 hospitals in Huron and Bruce and Perth counties. The purpose is to organize police, fire, municipal, and especially communication services both within a specific area, and bet- ween all the hospitals in question. Much like organizing school children in case of a fire alarm, the basic idea behind the plan is that if everyone has a certain role to play under certain conditions, the panic will he lessened con- siderably, and the processes of the kiln at South Huron District High School providing suitable arrangements can be made with Mr. & Mrs. Eli Fahner, Idlersley, Saskatchewan, and Mr. & Mrs. George Fahner and boys, Sudbury, called on Mr. & Mrs. Alfred Wuerth Tuesday and Wednesday.

The board understands that no students will be transported to the schools and that all work will be carried out by Mrs. Couper, Two other kilns in schools in the county — Seaforth PS and Robertson Memorial School — were not included in the program because these schools are locked for a portion of the summer while custodial staff are on vacation. It was felt that suitable arrangements at these schools would be difficult to make. Board members agreed this was in keeping with the board's policy to make school facilities accessible to the public on as many occasions as possible. passed away July 21, 1972 at Queensway Nursing Home, Hensall in her 90th year.
