• Exeter joins fight on
new chain saw rules
On July 1, all chain saws must
have an anti-vibration device and
chain brakes, and that includes
all existing saws as well as those
just coming onto the market.
Exeter council this week
quickly and enthusiastically
endorsed a recommendation
from the Ausable Bayfield
Conservation Authority that the
new regulations apply only to
new chain saws.
The Authority said that many
of their present saws could not be
equipped with the new devices
The public is invited to a
special meeting of the Huron
County Board of Education on
April 25 at 7:30 p.m. at the
board's offices to consider
secondary school literature texts.
There has been some con-
troversy concerning certain
books. Some were described as
being obscene and pornographic
at the last meeting on April 4.
In that meeting, Lloyd Barth,
RR 3 Blyth, made the claim that
secondary school students in the
county are being subjected to
"literary filth" in books used in
w. English, courses, -
The books he cited are part of
South Huron District High
School's course. John Steinbeck's
'Of Mice and Men' is used in
grade 12 four-year English
course. J. D. Salinger's 'Catcher
in the Rye' is used in both grade
10 five-year English and grade
11 four-year, and 'The Diviners'
by Margaret Lawrence is used in
grade 13 contemporary novels
study.
The board has invited prin-
cipals and English department
heads to discuss and evaluate,
with the public, the contribution
made by the texts to the course.
By Wilma Oke
The Huron-Perth County
Roman Catholic Separate School
Board will sponsor up to 30
teachers to the family Life course
at St. Jerome's College,
Waterloo, in the summer of 1977
at a maximum cost of $3600.00.
The tuition fee for each teacher is
$120, which the board will pay but
each teacher must assume any
travel or boarding costs,
Before each teacher takes the
course he or she must be ap-
proved by the board.
Trustee Michael Connolly said,
"Paying $120 per course we want
to be sure the teacher will con-
tinue with our system, The
taxpayers are paying."
Mr. Connolly expressed his
concern that all schools should
have teachers taking the course,
and that some schools should not
have a bigger percentage than
others,
The board members decided at
the meeting in Dublin Tuesday
night that they want a cheque
disbursement summary mailed
to them with the agenda When
available, and time will be set
aside at the following board
meeting for trustees to direct
questions, if any, to the finance
committee for elaboration,
The clergy-board liaison
committee will meet April 14 or
21, or as soon as a meeting can be
set up with the clergy, to discuss
the problem of the spring break
period in 1978 being the same
time as Holy Week. On the
committee representing the
board will be Mickey Vere, board
chairman, Michael Connolly and
Donald Crowley.
If the committee recommends
that the spring break week be
changed to another week, and the
board approves, then the board.
will make a submission to the
Ministry of Education for final
approval of a modified school
year calendar for Huron-Perth
area.
Phase 2B, Focus on Faith, will
be held November 20 at a location
not yet determined in Huron or
Perth. Bishop Emmett Carter of
London has agreed tentatively to
attend. This meeting will be
attended by trustees and their
spouses, principals and their
spouses and parents representing
each school in Huron and Perth
counties.
John Vintar, Director of
Education, reported that five
applications have been received
Plan session

Friedsburg Days 1977 will be
the subject of discussion at a
public meeting at the Dashwood
Community Centre Monday April
25.
Last year's officials have in-
dicated adequate interest must
be shown if the popular event is to
continue in 1977.
The 1976 committee met
Monday and decided on how the
funds on hand will be distributed.
A donation of $4,000 will be
made to the Dashwood volunteer
fire brigade to assist in their
building project. Amounts of
$1,000 each were approved for the

for the two French teaching
positions to be started on the first
of September with the teaching of
French to he started in Grades 7
in the schools, Interviews will be
held as soon as a committee can
be set up.
Mr, Vintar and Superintendent
Joseph Mills will attend a
meeting in Toronto at the
Ministry of Education where the
Hon, Thomas L. Wells will be
explainingthe program toimprove
and expand the teaching of
French as a second language
throughout Ontario and if there is
any plan to implement additional
financial assistance to the board
for this program.
Superintendent William Mills
said that each of the 19 separate
schools in Huron and Perth will
be holding special programs to
mark Education Week being held
across Ontario April 17 to April
23. The theme this year is
Growing with Dignity and will
focus attention on education and
make it visible to the community.
Mr. Mills said the importance of
the Week is that we must enable
children to learn without fear of
ridicule or destructive criticism
and to recognize that all people
are entitled to have a mind, a
heart and a life of their own.
Twelve of the trustees who
attended the annual conference
of the Ontario Separate School
Trustees in Toronto the first of
the month, along with Mr. Vintar
and Mr, Eckert, gave reports on
the meetings they attended at the
conference.
A letter of appreciation will be
sent to Bruce R. Heath, Director
of Children's Aid Society of
Huron County, for serving since
late 1975 as a member of the
Early School Leaving Committee
of the Board due to his pending
appointment to the Children's
Services Branch of the provincial
ministry of community and social
services branch and his change of
residence to Toronto.

School board sponsor teachers
and the costs of replacing them
would he prohibitive in view of
their limited funds,
They also noted that the need
for the new safety devices was
questionable in view of their
safety record involving chain
saws.
"It's a good promotion to sell
chain saws," Councillor Ted
Wright commented, adding that
the new regulations were
ridiculous.
The only dissent was expressed
by Councillor Ken Ottewell, who
wondered if there should be a
time limit placed on replacing
existing saws not equipped with
the devices. However, Wright
suggested that a saw that was
alright now would still be in good
condition in the future.
Councillor Harold Patterson
wondered what all the fuss was
about. "I can get in trouble with a
hand saw," he mused.
