"We need the service clubs to glue society together. They evolve to fill a gap as societies grow and the state becomes ever more powerful and problems more complex," he continued. "In a real sense you as service, clubs and we as government have similar interests to respond to the needs of the people." "Let's try and understand what each other is trying to do and support each other. I take pleasure in the thought we do see some results in your work as service clubs. It's more tangible."

Congratulations and Best Wishes to the Dr. G. F. Mills, Goderich, medical health officer for Huron, expressed his concern about the health education of students in Huron County when he presented a report to the Huron County Board of Education meeting in Clinton Monday night. After showing films and speaking on drug abuse in October he noted that the students lack knowledge on drugs, venereal diseases, nutrition and birth control. He suggested that health education be offered as an option, separate from physical education. It could be given as a co-ordinated course. He said all the students should be exposed to an easily prepared, easily delivered, sensible program of health education. As well, Dr, Mills said there is a need for teachers interested in taking courses to provide the health program for the students. Dr. Mills reported that prin- cipals and teachers were made aware of many health problems of individual students following the severe blizzard in 1971 when some pupils were marooned in country schools for as long as four days. School nurses only were aware of some of these problems until then, he stated. In other business the board will await a report on how much it will cost to mount and display permanently as a remembrance at the Zurich Public School the former old school bell which at the present time is in the hands of the village council. The request seeking assistance was in a letter to the board from W. D. Arm- strong, clerk-treasurer, Zurich. Previously, the board had assisted in an amount up to $500 in mounting other bells at Brussels and at Holmesville, and was concerned about how many more requests might be received in the future, The board endorsed a resolution from the Lambton County Board of Education and the Lambton Separate School Board which will be presented to the Ontario Separate School Trustees Association Convention in April, Some of the areas of THE FIRST SEALS SOLD - The honour of buying the first Easter Seals. in 1973 went to Canadian Prime Minister" Pierre Trudeci.u.

Court rules offer doubtful A 73-year-old Goderich man has been acquitted on a charge of counselling another man to murder seven people, including provincial Judge Glenn Hays and Huron Crown Attorney W.G. Cochrane. At a preliminary hearing, William McKelvie, Goderich, testified that Robert Tebow had offered,hirn $30 a head to kill the seven men — either with a gun or by blowing them up with dynamite planted in their homes or cars. The other five "victims" were Goderich men, including either Police Chief Fred Minshall or Deputy Chief Patrick King. Tebow was acquitted by County Court Judge R.S. Hetherington, Friday. Acting Crown Attorney D.G. Page, Stratford, said the meagre price on the heads of the seven men, plus the fact no attempt was made to carry out the plans, indicated to the court that Tebow's threats were empty, The offer was apparently made while the two's men- were both inmates of the Burtch correc- tional institute. • McKervie testified that Tebow had made the offer to kill the. men after claiming they had given him a "raw deal". for Wingham public school The Huron-Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board at its meeting in Seaforth Monday learned that, for the first time since the formation of the county board in 1968, it had an accumulated overlevy.

Trustee Gordon Ball of St. Marys reported for the ad hoc committee for building projects,, which appeared before the St. Marys town council last week to discuss sewer services for Holy Name School. They were in- formed by the council that a 50 per cent grant for costs could be obtained from the Ontario Water Resources Commission, with the school board paying the other half.

The Huron board referred a request from the Huron-Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School to its management committee for in-depth study on the feasibility of integrating bus services for public and separate school students in the Wingham area. John Vintar, Superintendent of Education for the Separate School Board, requested in- tegrated transportation services for all pupils attending Sacred Heart School, Wingham, Turn- berry Central Public School and F. E, Madill Secondary School, with particular emphasis on the alignment of dismissal times at all schools mentioned. Last summer the ad- ministrations of both boards discussed integration of services, but the proposal was prohibited by a staggered dismissal time at F. E. Madill. Presently the two boards have integrated services for McKillop Township and parts of Grey, Hullett and Morris Townships, Mr, Vintar is hoping for shared bus service by September. In other business, the board approved in principle a proposed building program for Exeter Public School but a final decision was withheld until a feasibility study is conducted by the Ministry of Education and the exact amount of available funds is known.

Mr. Cochrane informed the board that he had replied to a letter from the Bruce County Director of Education which said there are several pupils in Brookside School in Ashfield Township who should be at- tending Ripley Public School in Bruce County. Mr. Cochrane wrote that he was most emphatically opposed to the unilateral decision of the Bruce Board to withdraw pupils from a school that he was con- vinced they have a right to attend under the laws of the Province. He told the Bruce Director that he referred to those pupils living on lots 1 to 60 inclusive of con- cession 1, Huron Township, that it was his opinion that these pupils have a right to attend Huron schools.
