Monday afternoon, it was the lowest of 12 tenders received, Mr. Young will carry mail, films, packages from the main administrative office in Clinton to and between the various schools in Huron, This need for the courier service came about when the need arose for a way 'to distribute films to the schools when the Department of Education informed the Boards of Education it would no longer dispatch them, W.T.

A policy review committee report on Procedures for Board Meetings (by-laws) was set over until the September meeting, Amended policies and procedures were adopted for three policies. Administration time for elementary school principals — all teachers, in- cluding principal's relief teacher, are to be ,hired in accordance with one policy, Authority to approve field trips and excursions — the Board should not amend any requests, but either approve as presented or refer back with a recom- mendation. Wilful damage to school property-compensation by pupils — it was the feeling of the Board that the procedure for this policy should include provision for in- volvement of local law en- forcement agencies when damage is of a serious nature and that the Director of Education should be consulted first if the principal is inclined to prefer charges against a pupil. Co-operative use of ap- proximately 400 acres of land on Concession 7 in East Wawanosh by the Huron County Board of Education with the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority, which recently acquired the land' as a park, had been suggested.

"I have attended several council meetings in the past to make my feelings and those of some of my neighbours known on * important and current problems of the village. I am aware my views were put forward quite forcibly and in a non-too diplomatic manner. It is, therefore, my considered opinion that council would not appoint me to the vacancy." He added, "If, however, council feels I would be of value to the village I am willing to serve. I am interested in the welfare of the village." After all interested parties had been heard,council adjourned to a private session for a few minutes before returning to the council chamber to participate in an open vote. In the first vote called by Reeve Sharen councillor Murray Des Jardins was in favour of William Freele, John Teevins voted for Tom Webster and Douglas Martin chose Ian Coles. At this point, Sharen declared Roy Harris out of the running. On the second ballot, Webster received support from Teevins and Martin while Des Jardins continued to support Freele. Reeve Sharen announced that Webster was the choice by a 2-1 vote, Des Jardins then demanded that Sharen also cast and his vote and after Short deliberation the Reeve voted in favour of Webster and announced the vacancy was filled, , , - Continued from front page test showing a reading of 250 mgs. Judge Hays stated the accused must be a very strong man as the quantity consumed could have meant death. Patrick William DeJong, Brucefield, was fined $100 and given a suspension of two months after pleading guilty to careless driving in Exeter on July 29. The court learned he was speeding at rates up to 50 on Andrew St, and that parents claimed the safety of their children playing on the sidewalks was endangered by the accused. A fine of $200 was levied against Larry John Consitt, Hay Township, who was found guilty of careless driving on May 11. A witness, Alvin Lobb, told of following a car that was going slowly on Highway 4, but speeded up to prevent Lobb from passing when he attempted to do so. After finally passing the vehicle, Lobb advised Exeter OPP of the actions of the other driver and Consitt was sub- sequently charged. Consitt and a passenger in his car, Paul Munn, denied any action that would endanger the other driver and defence lawyer K. I. McLean said the evidence appeared to conflict and did not warrant a conviction. However, the Crown Attorney replied he didn't think Mr. Lobb would make the statement if there had been no irregularities in the incident, or if there had been no harrassment. In summing up, Judge Hays said since both parties remembered the incident, there must have been some irregularity in the driving of the accused and he termed it a "chilling situation" for any driver to experience when another speeds up to prevent him from passing. In other cases heard by Judge Hays and Justice of the Peace Douglas Wedlake, the following fines were levied: Harold G. Bender, Hay Township, $83 for driving at a speed of 100 in a 60 zone. The fine had been paid out of court and Judge Hays advised the accused a licence suspension could be handed out where the speed limit is exceeded by more than 30 Raymond A.

On Friday night, August 17, 1973, I attended the Lucan Fair with a friend of mine whom I was visiting that night. In the Lucan arena, where some of the exhibits were being displayed, there was a section of the arena used as a tavern or pub, or beer garden, or whatever you would like to call it, with a group of country-style singers as entertainment, Anyway, this beer garden was operated by the Lion's Club of Lucan, an organization that is involved in helping needy people and doing charitable.work.

At the same time, they are creating problems by providing another facility for this so-called "satisfying" escape which is the common socially-accepted ac- tivity in our western civilization. It can cause many regrettable incidents such as traffic ac- cidents, personal conflicts bet- ween people, as well as, just plain-and-simply-speaking, making fools of people, when this activity of bending the elbow is abused, which it so commonly is. Children (12 and under) were allowed to enter this particular beer garden at the Lucan Fair. Even though they may not have been drinking (and there .,,vas one incident Of under-age drinking and 'possibly more) why should the,y:te allowed to be exposed"' tor' this type of at- mosphere of seeing how "mature" adults entertain themselves? I think that the Lion's Club blew it this time, even though they may have been financially successful, by going backwards in following any code of ethics which they may have for their organization, whether they be written in print or verbally established. I don't mean to put down the Lion's Club, or any other organization of its nature, which contribute a lot of good in helping out people in many ways.. But it's just that I don't like to see worthwhile groups, like the Lion's, resorting to means of drawing financial assistance, by providing ways of allowing people to hurt themselves, as well as hurting others, morally as well as physically and possibly mentally. This means of "quenching" people's weaknesses seems to be a favourite and financially- profitable way of being helpful, in our society today. Thank-you for taking the time to read my opinions. Now you can call me "just, another stuck-up tea-totaller, and crumple up this letter, but if you have an opinions column for people who don't work for your newspaper, I would sincerely appreciate it if you would publish this sometime soon, if possible. Thank-you again. Gratefully yours, Neil Roszell, Fergus, Ontario. 21. They will receive an outdoor education programme through a study of natural science, geography and geology.

This was the opinion voiced by the storeowners and businessmen the T-A talked to this week, Mrs. William Schlegel, one of the store managers at the Havasu Trading Post said "Business has been very, very good. It's been a terrific year," She considered that the village was a much nicer place now because the families had come back. "The young people that are here seem to be well-behaved." she said. Griffin Thomas who owns the Thomas Furniture Store con- sidered it an above normal year. "We've always said that if we got the weather we would get the people and we did." Things look pretty optimistic for this little town." "A-1!" was how Dale Hayter of Dale's Esso Service described it, "There are a lot of families now. They know that they can get their money's worth here in Grand Bend." He said he expects things to get better yet when the proposed Yogi Bear Park is built south of Grand Bend. Mr. Art Hoist who owns Betty and Art's IGA said things had been good not only because of more families and good weather but because of the way the village has been run. Kindergarten pupils who live in McKillop Township will continue the policy set two years ago, which requires that they attend classes in Walton. A proposal was made at the Huron County Board of Education meeting in Clinton, Monday. Kindergarten registrations conducted at Walton Public School indicate that thirty or more pupils will be enrolled there in September. In accordance with Board practice of limiting kindergarten classes to 28 pupils, this would require the operation of a full-time kindergarten with two classes. With Seaforth Public School registrations indicating that fewer than 20 pupils will be at- tending kindergarten there in September 1973, D.J. Cochrane, Director of Education recom- mended that possibly five students who live in McKillop Township adjacent to Seaforth be asked to attend school in Seaforth, He said transportation would be provided to and from school. These pupils would be permitted to continue to attend Seaforth Public School in sub- sequent years, John Henderson, Board member representing McKillop, opposed the suggestion and made a motion that all kindergarten students be required to attend the first day of school and if registration exceeds 28, then the class is to be split and the teacher at Walton hired on a full-time basis. He asked for a recorded vote and his motion carried, eight for and five opposed. Mr, Henderson said he was not in favour of using one area more than another, "'It the situation was reversed in Seaforth, you wouldn't go into the town and move some out to the rural area.

The Board will notify the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs that the Board does not require provision of school sites in the proposed subdivision plans in Hay Township in the summer cottage area and in the south western part of Goderich. John Broadfoot of RR 1, Brucefield, questioned whether the summer cottages might not become permanent homes if winterized and the members agreed this was possible in the future, So that all people in the County would be on a par, the possibility The Anchorage and Monetta Menard's both had very good years. Mrs. Paul' Panet at the Tavern said there were not as many Americans or young people this summer. Mr. Sanders at Monetta Menard's said they have had an enormous number of families. "It's been just excellent." The only one who hasn't ex- perienced an above normal year is Wally's Chinese Takeout. Wally Hem, owner of the business said things had been rather slow. to take children to Seaforth would cost about $1,400 and the teacher's salary for the extra half time would amount to ap- proximately $3;000."

High costs in food are affecting the contractors who supply the food for the various cafeterias in the high schools it is reported, There is difficulty in getting help. Board chairman, E.
