MERNER Chartered Accountant Business A request from the geography department at Goderich District Collegiate Institute for a 1978 field trip caused a stir at the Huron County Board of Education Monday. The request was for a three day excursion to Elliot Lake in Northern Ontario at a cost of $120 per student, The trip is designed to have students apply knowledge of observation and recording techniques in field map reading and preparation, analysis, of land use patterns to observe mining activities, The board was asked to pay the costs for busing 45 students to Kitchener and the remaining costs for flight to Elliot Lake, food and lodging will e'3e paid by the students them- selves, Bly th trustee R. J. Elliott asked the board how far in advance field trips should be approved. He pointed out that the board was approving a trip for 1978 for two schools (Huron Centennial School requested approval to send 70 students to Ottawa in May 1978) and that the approval of the board would mean that $10,986 would chang8 hands for the purpose of student field trips. "I'm not saying that's the total cost to the board but that reflects the total cost of the 'trips," said Elliott, Seaforth trustee John Hen- derson suggested that the field trips are becoming "more and Senior Citizens held their monthly meeting on NoVember 1 in the Legion Hall, The regular meeting of the Exeter senior citizens started with a goodly number playing cards, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Bowden were in charge of the program. Groups , from Crediton and Zion provided the entertainment, Mrs, Lorne Hern acted as chairman for the first part of the program by Zion. These included readings by Mrs. Hern, members of Zion Church; Doug Stephen on ac- cordion; his son David on guitar; Cliff Jaques on violin and Lome Elf ord on piano. More vast" and that the expense of the trips was something the board should consider before giving its approval, He pointed out that in the case of the GM! request students would be going home and telling parents they. Mrs. Hern gave several more- readings and led the audience in a sing song with Doug Gill on the piano. The second part of the program was taken by the group from Crediton with Harry Schroeder acting as chairman. Doris Sch- wartz and Doug Gill sang several duets with Mrs. Gill ac- companying on piano. Several solos were sung by Harry' Schroeder, One for Fathers Day and Mothers Day; which Harry had composed the words himself, He was accompanied by Doug Gill with music on piano which Mr. Gill also composed. These numbers were followed by violin solos by Lorne Johnston and solos by Doris Schwartz accompanied by Doug Gill, Mr. Gill then gave several musical numbers on his own stringed instrument comprised of a broom, one string with a staple for a bridge and a cigar box as a sounding board. He 'played several beautiful numbers, on this unique instrument. Doug and Doris sang several solos accompanied by Mrs. Gill on piano and Mrs. Jean Isaac, gave a number of readings to finish off the program. Lunch was served by the Legion Ladies Auxiliary to over 100 members of the senior citizens. It was voted to have a supper for the Christmas meeting to be served if possible by the Ladies Auxiliary on a date to suit.

The statistics were nil, had a chance to go to Elliot Lake and needed $120. "11 we approve the trip we're putting pressure on parents to spend $120 when they May not want to or be able to pay that much," be said. GPM principal John Stringer, a guest at the board meeting, pointed out to the board that the geography department at the school feels strongly about the trip. He said the department teachers feel that the trip is an important educational op- portunity for students to see first hand the section of Canadian geography they are studying. Stringer added that the cost of the trip will have to be raised by the students and that is why the Peter Snell is received Peter Snell was received as a candidate for the ministry of the United Church of Canada by the Unified Board of Exeter United Church at its regular monthly meeting, The recommendation that he be accepted as a candidate will be forewarded to the Huron Perth Presbytery and will be dealt with at its, next meeting November 22 at Grand Bend, Peter was interviewed by, a committee consisting of Don McCaffrey, Margaret Coates Wayne Shapton, Audrey MacGregor, Stella Taylor, the Rev. Grant Mills and the Rev. Glen Wright, During the interview Peter said that the ministry had long been in his mind even during his teaching career. He singled out an an- niversary service at which his father, the Rev. Harold Snell was preaching, his work with music which he shares with his wife Kathy, and a recent worship service which he took for his father in Exeter United Church as milestones in a call to be an ordained minister of the Church. The past two months as student supply at the Ailsa Craig pastoral charge had confirmed his decision. Peter plans to receive his Bachelor of Arts degree this year from the University of Western Ontario. Then he will continue his studies by commuting to Emmananuel College of University of Toronto for the next three years. He and Kathy hope to remain at the Ailsa Craig Pastoral Charge during this time where he will continue his student ministry. request is being put in so early. He added that the Goderich Lions club supports school ac- tivities and would never see a Student left out because their parents can't afford the costs. He added that the lengthy period between approval and departure is designed to give students ample time to raise the money. Colborne township trustee Shirley flazlitt said she wondered why students couldn't learn the same things on a trip locally as they would in Elliot Lake. She said she realized the students going to Ottawa couldn't see the same things here but the students going to Elliot Lake should be able to see similar things right here in Huron County. Superintendent of education Jim Coulter told the board that field trips are not always as extensive as the two up for ap- proval. He pointed out that the students of Huron Centennial have been on field trips before but had stayed in the county on all of them. He said from their kindergarten years they had taken trips to the bank, to the supermarket, to a construction site, to an apple orchard, to the Huron County Pioneer Museum in Goderich and Camp Sylvan. "What you're saying is that they've taken all kinds of trips locally but never been away from home," and board chairman Herb Turkheim. The board approved both trips by a 13-2 margin, , one trustee being absent. Sorority see decor ideas The Beta Theta Sorority met at the home of Elsie Tuckey November 1.
