Trustee Michael Connolly, Kippen, in releasing the deatils of the move, said the board offices in Seaforth have been cramped for space and the parking facilities have been inadequate. The board offices have been located on the Main Street in Seaforth since shortly after the formation of the county board in 1969. After'July 1 they will be moved to the building housing the for- mer Dublin high school and the Ursuline Order convent. Mr, Connolly said the Ursuline Order will be vacating the con- vent at the end of the school term in June after 60 years of service in the community. The two teaching sisters will remain on the school board staff and take up residence in the Ursuline Convent in Stratford. Sister Florence Kelly is principal at St, Patrick's elementary school in Dublin and Sister Marian is principal at St. Columban elementary school. Mr. Connolly said the board has leased the building for a five-year period from the St. Patrick's Parish at Dublin and the Episcopal Corporation for the Diocese of London. The kin- dergarten class for St. Patrick's School area which has been using a room in the former high school part of the building, will continue in that location under the new arrangement. The agreement calls for St. Patrick's parish to collect $1,000 per month for the building and at the end of the five-year rental term the board has the right to purchase the building for its continued use as a board office. Richard Box, owner of the building housing the present board offices, will be notified his premises will be vacated by the end of the present lease in January, 1976. In other business the board agreed to send three board members to the Canadian Catholic School Trustees Association Convention in St. John's, Newfoundland, from recreation bureau will pay the salaries of three people, However, under the terms of the grant, the playground staff will have to be increased to six members, RAP had planned only five leaders, Recreation director Jim McKinlay explained that the grant worked out to a "$1,500 bonus." A second request for assistance to build an adventure playground in Exeter was turned down. It had previously been turned down for an. Opportunities for Youth grant as well. McKinlay said the project may not be dead though, He noted that the PTA of Precious Blood Separate School were con- sidering the acquisition of playground equipment for their school and it was possible that through some assistance from RAP and volunteers, a start could be made on an adventure playground at the school, Commenting on the failure to Dear Editor: It is now almost a year since the council of Huron County delegated the management of the Huron Historic Jail to a board of interested citizens. We consider the year to have been successful in that more than 7000 people, not counting school tours, took time to visit the building. The board is now beginning a project which will take several years, that of furnishing the governor's house in the fashion of 1900 when it was built. This is being done under the supervision of Mrs. Dorothy Duncan, museums adviser from the Ministry •of Culture and recreation. In an attempt to provide fur- nishings and all details which will be authentic we are seeking guidance from pictures , interiors of that period. If any of your readers have such pictures we would be most grateful if they would loan them to us for a time for our study. Anyone who is willing to do so may send them to the following address: Mrs. J. W. Wallace, 35 Wellington St., S. Goderich Chairman of the Refurbishing Comm. Huron Historic Jail Board I would also be most interested in hearing from anyone who has furniture of that period• which is in prime condition either' for sale or on loan for exhibition in the house. Sincerely Dorothy Wallace June 25 to June 27 — Chairman David Teahen of Stratford; Ted Geoffrey; Zurich and Donald Crowley, Gadshill; and alternate, Arthur Haid, RR 4, Listewel. The board approved a 1975-76 school bus rate schedule of ap- proximately 15 per cent increase over last year's. Trustee Donald Crowley was named to attend a testimonial dinner in Toronto on May 16 for Monsignor Hardy of Hamilton. Board approval was given several changes in updating board policies as outlined by Stratford trustee Howard Shantz. A new policy approved called for copies of general minutes of all board meetings to be sent to separate school representatives on the Perth County and the Huron County Boards of Education in order to keep them conversant with its general business. William Ennis, Stratford board counselling officer, was authorized to attend the Ontario Association of Counselling of- ficers in Geneva Park in June. The board approved giving the Stratford Recreation Association permission to use the ball diamonds at the Stratford separate schools for the summer program, also the soccer field at Aloysius School. "I'm glad these are being used now", commented Joseph Looby of Dublin. They were only cow pastures when this board took over those school grounds. John Vintar, Director of Education, reported the initial approval has been received from the Ministry of Education for construction of a general purpose room and dressing rooms at St. Patrick's School at Kinkora, Stratford trustee Francis Vere, chairman of building and property committee, outlined the various maintenance works being carried out at the schools in the two counties. Mr. Vintar and Ted Geoffrey both reported on the Ontario Conference on Education held in Toronto on May 7, 8, 9 and 10 Whichthey attended with the theme Learning to be Where in the World do we stand, secure the OFY grant, McKinlay said his previous comments had generated a considerable amount of flack, but he has, yet to be, given any real reasons why the project was given a low priority by of- ficials, "The final answer lies with two men," he noted. Those two men are Frank Sills, Seaforth, and Clare Sager, Goderich, the two Huron representatives on the project selection committee. Reeve Derry Boyle said the answer was rather obvious, because people were always loathe to do anything for residents of the south end of the county. McKinlay said he planned to talk to the two men after the whole issue has died down somewhat. "Then we should be able to discuss the ,situation rationally, openly and fairly, so that we can offer some con- structive criticism if it's due, or receive some, if it's due," he commented. "I just want to rock the boat, not tip it," he concluded. In other business at Monday's meeting, RAP: —Learned that interest was nil among adults in helping minor baseball teams and that the program would probably die this year due to this lack of support. - Were advised that a bantam girls' team would be entered in the Usborne league and that three teams had entered the men's recreational softball league to date. - Set the starting time for the roller skating program for the first Monday in June. The skates purchased by RAP have arrived and the staff for the program will be interviewed this week, - Learned that the the pool would . be open on June 1, although approaches made to area schools to conduct swimming programs in June have drawn only "some nibbles." - Set June 14 for playground and swim program registration dates. - Approved a request from McKinley to attend the June 8 to. 14 leadership development course in London. at a cost of $115, - Agreed to ask council to request the Ausable-.Bayfteld Conservation Authority for an engineering study on methods to protect the island below the Exeter dam. The area was badly eroded in the spring flood again this year. - Approved an expenditure of up to $100 to hook up a water heater at the horse barn and to build a doorway leading into the loft area of the barn for hay storage. -Decided to investigate the cost of a cover for the swim pool.Alvin Willed reported it was a cess pool each spring due to the number of small animals which drown in the pool over the winter, HP bake sale a success On Saturday May 3, the Local Association in Huron Park ably assisted by the 1st Huron Park Brownie Pack, Brownie mothers and friends held a rummage and bake sale. The purpose of the sale was to raise funds to support the Huron Park Brownies. The sale opened at 10:00 a.m. which time a sizeable crowd swarmed in and made a bee line for the bake tables and toy sec- tions. For the first hour the pace was hectic, but gradually slowed down and eased the pressure on the various helpers. By twelve, the baked goods, toys and nick- nack tables were somewhat bare. The Brownies had their own tables at the sale at which they sold handicrafts they had made. They also had kept a steady pace with the corn poppers until all supplies were exhausted. All who participated agreed the sale was a tremendous success, The Local Association extends their thanks and appreciation to the Brownies, Brownies parents and friends who donated and helped to make the sale possible. opening of the apartments may take place in August of this year. + + + Council decided to seek legal advice regarding a request for the operation of a mobile food dispensing business to be located at a local garage.. The land use committee recommended the business not be allowed because it would create unfair competition, but other members suggested council would need a legal reason for denying any business the right to operate. + + + The executive committee was asked to study a request that a part-time typist be hired for the building inspector. Councillor Harold Patterson said the volume of correspon- dence was increasing and he wondered if a typist could be shared by the police department and the building inspector. Patterson also reported that the new police contract has not yet been signed, However, he said only one minor matter remained to be resolved and he expected the signing to take place shortly. + + Works superintendent Glenn Kells was asked to investigate the cost of installing gasoline tanks foritheitown's owri use;a t th6works department building.

Hospital • secretary Mrs. Dorothy Brady said the hospital auxiliary placed place mats in the localrestaurantS but no other special activities were staged. Usually only the larger hospitals actively participate in events for the special week, Separate board shifts administration to Dublin At the suggestion of Reeve Derry Boyle, council will proceed with investigation of the costs of securing a lapel pin that can be used by the town as an award of merit for outstanding achievement. Boyle said there were many times that local residents earned distinction—such as this year's bantam hockey club capturing an OMHA title—and the pin could be given out to those people. He noted that the idea had been broached before, but no action was taken. "You're a stinker,1!
