Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, on
Lac des Sables, is the oldest

Tuckersmith Township council
approved the installation of
water meters at Vanastra during
a six-hour session Tuesday which
ended at 2 a.m. Wednesday.
Council will work with the
Ministry of the Environment to
have the installation done.
A $200 building permit will be
charged on every new house
constructed in the township but
the $2 charge for other building
permits will continue.
The proposal to raise the fee to
$200 from $2 was made by
Councillor Bert Branderhorst
who said the $2 permit was too
small when some other neigh-
bouring municipalities were
charging a percentage of the
estimated cost on all buildings
erected.
Mr. Branderhorst suggested
that the money from the permits
be used for recreation costs in the
township and giving some to
neighbouring arenas used by
township residents.
Reeve Elgin Thompson
disagreed and said the money
should go to the recreation centre
in its own township at Vanastra
and not to other arenas as other
municipalities did not contribute
to costs at Vanastra although
their residents use the Vanastra
swimming pool,
Councillor Cleave Coombs of
Egmondville said he knew of
families, because they cannot
afford it, who have not been to the
Seaforth arena all winter as a
result of the $15 penalty to each
Tuckersmith resident par-
ticipating in organized recreation
such as hockey.
This $15 fee was levied when
Tuckersmith refused to con-
tribute any grants toward the
Seaforth arena for Harpurhay or
Egmondville young people
registered for hockey.
Reeve Thompson said, "I can't
see it, Kids today get all the
money they want. I don't believe
there is anybody who can't af-
ford it. There is money for
drinking."
After much discussion it was
agreed that the money would not
be designated at the present time
for any one purpose but used at
the discretion of council for any
necessity even roads.
Council accepted the tender for
flake calcium chloride from
Pollard Bros. of Harrow for
No action was taken Tuesday
night by the Huron Perth County
Roman Catholic Separate Board
on a motion to hire a firm of
management consultants to
assess the administrative needs
of the board. It was tabled until
the June 14 meeting.
The motion made by David
Teahen and seconded by Howard
Shantz, both Stratford trustees,
would have hired the firm to
investigate the duties of the
administrative staff, and to
establish the requirements. As
Mr. Teahen and Mr. Shantz both
stated the firm of consultants
approached by them had in-
dicated it would be necessary to
interview five trustees to
evaluate the job description as
well as the five members of the
administration involved in order
to be fair. Mr. Shantz said,
"Trustees should have input as to
what is needed. With Joe
(Superintendent of Special
Education, Joseph Tokar)
quitting we have a golden op-
portunity to assess the position."
When it became evident that
the motion would not be sup-
ported in its narrow outline, the
two trustees agreed to reshape
their motion that the firm be
hired to asses the administrative
needs of the board.
Joseph Looby of Dublin said:
"With something to cost $5,000 to
$6,000 we should have more time
to find out what kind of report the
firm would provide."
Mr, Teahen replied that a
spokesman from the firm had
mentioned a cost of $4,500 with
the promise that some further
discussion could be held on the
cost.
On Mr. Looby's motion to table
the motion a recorded vote was
requested by Mr. Teahen
resulting in the motion to table
being supported by Michael
Connolly, Joseph Looby, Ronald
Marcy, Francis Hicknell, Vincent
Young, Mickey Vere and Ted
Geoffrey and opposed by David
Teahen, Howard Shantz, William
Kinahan, Gregory Fleming and
John O'Drowsky.
A presentation on Special
Education was made by
Superintendent Joseph Tokar and
consultants Mrs. Gladys Talbot
and Miss Mary Flannery. The
presentation which took an hour
and a half covered the whole
program provided by the board
which has five full time itinerant
teachers, four part-time teachers
and one special class in Stratford
covering it, backed up
psychological services in
Stratford, Goderich and London,
The types of difficulty outlined
were remedial, slow learners and

Council held court of revision
on the Layton Drain but as there
were no appeals, the drain report
was formally accepted, Tenders
will not be called until next year,
as requested by those involved.

attended the meeting along with
Engineer Henry Uderstadt of
Orangeville for discussion on the
O'Brien Drain report. The report

Bill Embling of Vanastra was
appointed to fill the vacancy on
the Vanastra Recreation Board.
A petition from three
ratepayers for a drain was
received, John Branderhorst,
Alois VanEsbroeck and W.B.
Rowcliffe. Engineer Henry
Uderstadt was named to bring in
a report
A Dead End Street sign will be
placed on Regina Street,
Vanastra, recently closed at the
entrance to Highway 4 because of
a traffic hazard.
William G. Newman, Ontario
Minister of Agriculture and Food,
offered no relief to council in
answer to a request for more
money to loan to ratepayers on
tile drain loans. The amount
available this year has been cut
severely to all municipalities and
reported because of the number
of requests for additional funds, it
is expected that very little, if any,
will be available later in the year.
Members of council accepted
the invitation to the official
opening of the Port Blake Con-
servation area on June 9.

William Innes, Stratford, at-
ten Oance counsellor for the
board, was authorized to attend a
Counsellors conference in
Thunder Bay. Trustee Teahen
questioned the value of the
conference to Mr. Innes com-
pared to the cost of going but in a
vote on the motion for him to
attend eight trustees supported it
and four voted against.
The board gave approval to
ball diamonds being installed at
St. Joseph's School and St.
Ambrose School, both in Strat-
ford. There will be no cost to the
board for the diamonds which
will be installed by Yu nd t Bros,for
$593 each for the Stratford Lions
Club and the Recreation
Association, Howard Shantz
questioned the location of the
diamonds on the school property
so that all the green area would
not be used up. Mr. O'Drowksy
said it was up to the school
principal and Ed Rowland,
maintenance administrator for
the board to assist in the location.
Francis Hicknell to end the
discussion said he hoped they will
be put in front of the backstops.
Chairman Arthur Haid read a
letter to the board which was sent
to the Principals' Association
assuring them that all members
of the board endorsed
professional development days
for the teachers with the ex-
ception of two members. This
was in answer to a letter from
Leo Turner, corresponding
secretary, who asked for an
explanation of the remarks made
by Howard Shantz in an earlier
meeting that he did not support
professional development days
and refused to reply directly to
Mr. Turner,
A further meeting will be held
on May 31 to complete the un-
finished business of the meeting

trustee said the last time a
second extension was given the
meeting went on for over an hour.
An extension from 11 p.m. to 11:
