The meeting was then opened for debate and questions were asked of both the speakers. Several issues were raised and points were clarified by both Mrs, May and Mr. Rowley before a vote on the issue was taken. As a result of the ballot, which showed a high percentage in favour of remaining with the Home and School Association, the group will remain with the• Federation. It was the feeling of many present that such an open and informative meeting was ex- tremely helpful, not only to the new parents moving into the community and parents with children just starting in Kin- dergarten, but to the whole group who felt they had little knowledge of the whole subject. Many of the benefits and the full operation of the Home and School had not been known to many present. The local Home and School executive also challenged those present pointing out that out of 166 families with children at- tending the East Williams School, only about 30 parents were present at the meeting. They asked for better support both financially and in attendance at evenings especially arranged for parents. They also asked for any suggestions for programmes which parents might like to have arranged. This year's executive consists of Mrs. P. Twynstra, president, Mr. A.W. Rowley, vice-president, Mrs R. Campbell, secretary and Mr. G. Nordemann, Treasurer Ladies' Purses IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE SIZE OR STYLE GIVE A GIFT CERTIFICATE 1 Smyth's S TORE MUM SHO E CHARGER 1 MAIN ST.

TED WRIGHT A Wright vote could be a step in the right direction. By JOY SCHEIFELE "How much do you care if there is a Home and School Association?" "Would you rather be affiliated with the Ontario Federation of Home and School Association Inc. ' but operate as a parent-school liaison group?" Would simply an East Williams Public School—Parent group be adequate?" These are some of the questions about 40 parents with children attending the East Williams Memorial Public School battled with Thursday evening at a special meeting called to determine the wishes of the group. The meeting was chaired by Mr. Bill Stewart, a parent whose last child is presently in grade eight at East Williams, He stressed that the group is currently part of the Home and School Federation and its membership would continue until the end of the school year. The vote taken was to determine the wishes of the group for the 1977-78' year on.,, Mrs. Marie May, Regional Vice-President of the Home and School Association was the guest speaker for the evening and presented several advantages of remaining with the Federation. She stressed that the Federation has become very much a pressure group and "is one of the most influential with the Ministry of Education". Mr. A.W. Rowley of Nairn then presented the alternatives, giving as an example the Nor- thridge School Association with which he served and ..helped tV.fnrnCRCCCClr::CCOi't.fntrgCiR.CCfr.W.C •CtR..tn.rr,.ftcc.cccprpr.(gcccc.coc-xgccccPfgsccccccntr,cccrgcA.tnccco-rg,,cteo,ccccogncinccfnc.ctn.co-onorfgo-A;.
