South Huron District High School was not among the schools closed down Thursday and Friday due to the weather. It had been closed while the teachers were at the Benmiller Inn for a two-day professional development program. Despite the hazardous driving conditions, most of the staff members made it to the Inn on Thursday morning, although one carload decided to turn around and head home shortly after arriving. The balance of the staff stayed on for the program, but couldn't make it out on Friday evening as planned due to the blocked roads. About five cars started out Saturday morning and the oc- cupants made it through to Grand Bend and Exeter, although two of the vehicles had to be left along Highway 21 between Goderich and Bayfield when they became mired in the snow.

Clerk Wilmar Wein of Stephen township reported this week that road department expenditures for snow removal had increased from $1,560 in December of 1975 to $7,346 for the same month in 1976. Wein said snow removal ac- counts in January of last year were listed at $4,576 and es- timated for January of 1977 the cost could quite easily be well in excess of $10,000. The Stephen clerk added, "The Plans are well underway for the 8th annual Crippled Kids' weekend at Pineridge Chalet, and with snow being one of the required ingredients, there appears little chance it won't be successful this year, The three-day event is schedul- ed for February 18-19-20. Activities commence Friday night with a dance at the Chalet, with Joe Overholt providing the music, The popular entertainer will also play for the Saturday night dance and will perform at Sunday's floor show as well. A snowmobile poker rally will feature.

In Usborne Township costs have risen on a similar basis. Road superintendent John Batten said December snow removal expenditures were up to $7,000 from about $2,000 in 1975. He indicated January costs would be close to $12,000 about double from a year earlier. As far as February is concern- ed Batten commented, "that is everybody's guess." several other celebrities.
