T-A photo Project estimated at $550,000 Seek outlet for storm drain Principals commence plan for making up lost class time It looks as though some of the Professional Development Days for teachers of the area public schools will be cancelled to make up for lost days due to stormy weather. In Hensall students lost eight and one-half school days as well and they too will be having regular classes on March 7 in- stead of a PD day for the teachers. Principal Ron McKay says the school is only cancelling the one PD day at this time and will consider the remainder one at a time, A good deal may depend on the weather for the remainder of this winter according to Mr, McKay. At Huron Centennial school in Brucefield the drifts almost covered the entire school and school days were cancelled because of the weather. Principal Arnold Mathers said the school has lost nine and one- half days so far this year but he sees no great problem in making those days up. PD days for the teachers on March 7 and April 29 have been cancelled and regular school days will be held instead. Also a number of field trips and the school's skating and outdoor day have been cancelled. There will be no junior concert this year and less time will be spent practicing for the senior one. Also Huron Centennial Kinettes enjoy pot luck dinner The Kinette Club of Hensall started their February meeting with a delicious meal at the Hensall Bean Pot. It was reported at the meeting that a total of $318.56 was collected during the March of Dimes Canvass and the Kinettes would like to thank all the volunteer canvassers and those who con- tributed. teachers have sent a package of work home with every student, In the event a bus is unable to travel its route or the child is home sick or for any reason unable to attend classes, every child will have at least one days work at home with him. Mr. Mathers says he has gone over the records for the past ten years and the average number of days missed is five and one-half, Since the school is making up two days missed through cancelled PD days and other days through cancelled field trips and through sports tournaments being held on Saturdays rather than school days, he feels the school is not too far over the average.

RENA CALDWELL KIPPEN Elaine Townshend was the guest speaker at the February meeting of Kippen East W.I. She spoke on Alpha—the Awareness League for the Physically Handicapped Adults. She gave a resume of her early life and of the difficulties that the physically handicapped meet in everyday living. Alpha would like to make the public aware that the handicapped want to be involved in the community. They would like to make the public aware of their problems and suggest to councils how they can help when building arenas or putting in new sidewalks, etc. to make it possible for the physically handicapped to use the facilities. Some suggestions were— ramps instead of steps, washroom doors wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs and curb cuts on sidewalks. Mrs. M. Connolly chaired the program. Mrs. Wm, McDowell gave the current events, Mrs. James Drummond gave a thought provoking motto in which she didn't altogether agree with the topic "Young people who march in protest should remember the roads were paid for by their fathers". She thought that it wasn't always the young who were protesting, the teachers and the unions were doing quite a bit of protesting. Mrs. Alderdice described the work done on quilting at the training School she attended last week. Mrs, Ross Broadfoot provided music and Mrs. Dave Triebner led in a sing song, The hostesses were Mrs. M. Connolly and Mrs. James Chalmers. Lunch was served by them and the committee in charge.

Members of Hensall council, similar to their counterparts in most communities in the snowbelt area, are fearing some flood problems this spring. Clerk Bob Heil said the problem would be directly related to how the piles of snow disappear. If it is fast, there will be problems, while if it dissipates slowly there could be no problems, However, by next year council hope to have the periodic flooding problems licked through the installation of a storm sewer system. Cost of that project is expected to be around $550,000, of which $210,000 would be covered by grants. The storm drain would take most of the water east of the 'tracks and alleviate problems there, as well as problems on the west side because the water would not be moving in that direction. Biggest cost in the project is to Monkton ousts bantam squad Monkton beat Hensall Bantams twice during the last week put- ting them out of the O.M.H.A. competition, Only exhibition games will be played for the rest of the season. Scoring for Hensall on Saturday were Kevin Parker Tim Lovell and David Consitt while Murray ,Illman, Doug Broughton, Tim Worth, Tim De Block and Bradley Smith each scored one goal for Monkton, Credit is extended to the out- standing play of Hensall goalie Steve Sararas all through the season. prepare a suitable outlet. Little headway was made this week in finding such an outlet. Council met Thursday night with representative of Hay council and engineer B.M. Ross and Associates to discuss the matter, Two outlets were discussed, with those in attendance favoring an outlet to the South of the village which drains into the Black Creek. However, Hensall clerk Bob Heil indicated council would have to await a decision from the HOLD EUCHRE The C.P. and T. of the Hensall I.O.O.F. held a successful euchre on Wednesday night with eight tables in play.
