T-A photo After being turned down by the Ontario Ministry of Education on proposals for further additions and renovations to the Exeter Public School the Huron County Board of Education Monday decided to forward another plan. At a meeting in London, a few weeks ago Ministsry officials had said the limit for this year would be $200,000. Brian Garrott of Kyles, Kyles and Garrett Architects of Stratford came up with new plans totalling $265,000 and this will be forwarded for provincial ap- proval. The new proposal would provide a , new gymnasium- auditorium' and provide a new lighting and ventilating system in the south wing. Garrott said the current plan would make good use of all available space. A present general purpose room would be converted to a stage, change rooms and kitchen. One classroom would be retained with a minimum of alterations. The plan also leaves the op- portunity for a community hall to be added if desired. A maintenance workshop at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton is expected to be built within the next two weeks. At Monday's regular meeting, the board accepted a bid from Cale Doucette of Clinton to construct a 24feet by 36 feet block construction building with a height of 10 feet. Doucette's bid of $5,745 was the lowest of two received. The Clinton contractor indicated he was prepared to start im- mediately on the project. Board members rejected a request from the Huron County Singles club to rent the auditorium at Seaforth District High School for a New Years Eve dance. The club request asked that permission be given to serve alcoholic beverages at the proposed function. In supporting the request Seaforth trustee Molly Kunder said other county boards per- mitted aleoholic beverages in Approve alternate plan for renovations at Exeter school schools for special occasions. She added that the Leeds and Grenville County Board of Education has a policy statement allowing this type of activity for special occasions only. The Eastern Ontario group said they do not approve of alcoholic consumption on school premises but do make special exceptions for service clubs and community organizations. The Singles club letter suggested that revenue from the dance and bar after expenses could be given to a local service club or for arena renovations in Seaforth. The group in the past has made donations to the Vic- torian Order of Nurses„ ,and bought equipment for the kitchen at. Vanastra. Board vice-chairman Herb Turkheim said an Ontario Select Committee, on the utilization of educational facilities has recommended that sale of alcohol be permitted in schools. Turkheim added that a special Huron Board committee in examining the use of school facilities had rejected the alcohol proposal. The request with alcohol privileges was defeated in a board vote with Mrs. Kunder the only one approving the move. It was agreed the school could be used for the dance but the alcohol ban would stay in effect. Seaforth Fair The Board agreed to pay $1,030.32 to the Seaforth Agricultural Society as their share of a new chain link fence constructed on the fence line between the Seaforth District High School property and the Seaforth Agricultural Society. Seaforth Fair Board representative Ken Campbell said, "we can't operate the fair without a control fence and the new fence certainly adds to the appearance of the high school property.” B of E Capital Forecast The Huron County Board of Education will be submitting a five year capital expenditure forecast to the Ontario Ministry of Education for more than $825,000. Most of the projects named would be scheduled for the year 1976. Included would be provisions for three home economics and industrial arts facilities. One would be at Hullett Central School, another at Turnberry Central School and a third in the southern portion of the county. Costs of each are estimated at $195,680 and location of the southern facility is to be deter- mined by the education com- mittee. 'Renovations costing $63,000 are planned to provide an up-dated chemistry laboratory at South Huron District High School in Exeter with a scheduled date in 1976. The top priority on the list was renovations •or addition of facilities to the present Huron Hope School for the trainable retarded at J.A.D. McCurdy school at Huron Park. On this subject, Director of Education JohWeehraiie said, "I would hope we could convert tw6 class rooms at Huron Hope in a similar fashion as we did in Wingham. In Victoria school in Goderich and Wingham we have two of the best facilities for retarded children in Western Ontario-and we should bring the • Huron Hope schOol up to the same standard." Two other projects are planned for 1978. They include providing an instrumental music facility at Seaforth District High School and a staff room at South Huron District. High School. The Seaforth project would include instruments at a total cost of $50,000. Estimated cost of the South Huron staff room is $35,000. Earlier in the meeting, acquistion of instructional computers was tabled. This item was then added to the capital forecast in the amount of $38,000. Brian Cook, chairman of Conestoga College, Clinton Centre, announced Friday to members of Huron County Council that the facilities at Vanastra will not be closed as Was feared. "There is no doubt the college will continue in operation in Huron County," Mr. Cook said. "We are not as seriously off as we originally thought and I don't expect' a change in geographical location or operation." Rumors of the college ageilities locating elsewhere in the county were not untrue in the past. Mr. Cook suggesed alter- native facilities had been sought, but were unavailable either in Clinton or Goderich. The college is providing a valuable educational role in the county, Mr. Cook told council. He said in the past year, Clinton Centre had graduated 10 from secretarial programs; 10 from cashier,teller courses; 12 cer- tified visiting homemakers, 80 from 40-week courses in agademic upgrading and com- mercial; and 103 others in con- tinual education courses such as accounting, real estate, interior design. etc. Looking to the future, Conestoga Clinton campus hopes to offer machine shop and welding courses next year. + + + A very brief report of a special meeting of the Huron County Board of Health with county hospital and medical representatiVes was presented during the regular session of county council Friday, October 2 in Goderich. Reeve E. Oddleifson, chairman of the board of health, said the primary purpose of the meeting was to get a feeling or expression concerning the appointment of a steering committee to consider the possible formation of a District Health Council between Huron and Perth.

A patient's monthly supply of drugs is sealed in plastic on a card, chairman John 'Finney of Hay Township explained. Exeter Pharmacy had been supplying the drugs under the old system but declined to change to the new method when requested, council was told. Reick Phan. macy in Goderich has agreed to install the necessary equipment to provide Huronview's drug needs on the new system. The purchase cost of drugs for both systems is identical. + + + County Council was told by Development ComrnitteeChai- rman Warren G. Zinn of Ashfield that United Trails Inc,. has received an extension to its Public Vehicle Operating Licence.

Approval has not been granted for either project to date. + + + A new sound system has been installed in the council chambers to facilitate council members as well as visitors and the press beyond the rail. A new amplifier, two additional speaker columns and a microphone mixer on the clerk's desk to control the volume level have been installed-by Chishlolm TV of Goderich.

Flett of Clinton will be the county representative on the new Huron County Housing Authority, File request from theatre Exeter council will hold in abeyance a request for funds for the Huron Country Playhouse. The request was made by campaign chairman Ben Tuckey, who explained some of the operation of the Stephen Township theatre and the need for assistance in meeting the costs of the new building and equipment. He told council that no one was making any money out of the playhouse, and that even the managing director was hired for a period of only 14 weeks. The top pay received by any of the actors or actresses was $200 per week. However, the former Exeter mayor noted that during the peak of the season, when as many as three companies may be at work on performances and rehearsals, the payroll totals nearly $10,000 per week. He further noted that Bruce Sully, Goderich, has agreed to match contributions up to $10,000, for the funds collected during September and October. "We trust you will give us some favorable consideration," he said before leaving the'meeting. Deputy-Reeve Tom MacMillan noted that the playhouse was a type of recreation and that many people in Exeter would never attend. However, he questioned if council should consider a donation to make it possible for people to attend if they desire. "Our financial resources are pretty well strained at the present, Councillor Barb Bell commented, adding that the town had been well canvassed for donations for the playhouse. Recreation director Jim McKinlay said that •the town did benefit directly from the playhouse in that a performance was given by a group of actors this summer in Exeter. He said this developed an awareness of drama among the young people. OPEN DAILY DINNERS Mon. to Fri. and.
