McCurdy elementary school at Huron Park open. Chairman Wilfred Shortreed said a thorough study of the McCurdy school area was completed including the con- dition of the school and the problems that would be en- countered if the school were closed. Shortreed said the committee felt the school could and should continue to operate for a number of years. He continued, "There is no availability of student Press barred from meeting The press was barred from Thursday night's meeting called by the Huron County develop- ment committee to outline proposals for the formation of area recreation committees, The session was attended by council and recreation officials from Zurich, Hay, Rensall, Usborne, Stephen and Exeter. It was held at the Exeter Public School. The development committee have suggested that county council provide a grant of up to $1,000 on a matching dollar basis, to any municipality which ac- tively engages in an area recreation committee. Attempts by this newspaper to sit in on the meeting to get fur- ther information for the public were futile. Committee chairman Frank Cook, Clinton, told the reporter his attendance at the meeting would have to be considered. However, that matter apparently couldn't be considered until Huron clerk-treasurer Bill Hanly arrived, The committee met briefly With Hanly and the reporter was advised that the session in Exeter was actually a development committee meeting and as such was not open to the press and public.

With recent improvements of storm windows, gas boiler conversion and, roof repairs, the report said the school was suitable for occupancy for 15 years with normal maintenance. Heating costs are favourable with other schools. New buses The Board approved the purchase of six new school buses to he delivered during the period from January to August, 1977, contingent upon Ministry grant approval. Transportation R.L. Cun- ningham told the Board, "The Ministry of Education calculates the life expectancy of a school bus to be seven years. It is therefore my opinion that the hoard owned buses should have an annual turnover of six buses." .Of the 40 buses now owned by the Board, three were purchased in 1967, seven in 1970 and 13 in 1971, Purchases for the calendar year 1976 were cancelled earlier this year due to financial restraints and Cunningham said he has been told by Ministry officials to send a letter outlining the reasons that an expenditure to purchase six new buses in 1977 was necessary before the actual purchase was initiated. To purchase gravel truck Exeter council approved the purchase of a new dump truck snow plow this week at a cost of $23,734.40, despite the fact the expenditure was not included in this year's budget. Works committee chairman Ted Wright explained that the old dump truck had been scheduled for replacement next year, but new Ontario regulations requiring safety checks on all dump trucks "forced us to change our minds". "Where do we plan to get the money?" Mayor Bruce Shaw asked. Wright replied that, it woul'd' have to be taken out of the $28,000 council had set, aside for, unex- pected, expenditures this year. The new truck (a 1975 model) will be purchased from the Ford Motor Company, although the local dealer will be given credit for the sale.
