Photo by Scheifele Rec centre board Continued from front page that keeping the booth open during low attendance periods was not financially sound. He said the booth was losing money during some periods and the dispensing machine would provide the service without staff costs. The board decided that at .Wedding receptions where confetti is used in the hall, the people renting the facility will be charged an additional cleanup fee. It was also decided that, as a general rule, tables and chairs in the hall will not be rented or loaned out to other people. Any exceptions will be, through a board motion only. Board members said that generally people renting such items do not return them in good condition. Armstrong advised the board that vandalism is still a problem in the facility. Garbage cans in the dressing rooms have been demolished, toilets plugged and soft drink dispensing machines vandalized, A schedule of the fees to be charged for renting the facility next year were tabled until all board members are present for a full discussion of the increases being suggested. Members expressed some surprise over the fact that an announcement had been made recently that the rec centre was running a deficit of about $12,000. Armstrong said that this in- cluded all the recreation programs and facilities in Exeter and not just the ref , centre, which he said was running close to the break even point at the present time. • BASKETRY IMPORTED FROM THREE CONTINENTS • DECORATE WITH OUR DRIED FLOWER MATERIALS AND MORE THAN 4000 CASSETTES AND STEREO TAPES WE HAVE OVER 2000 ALBUMS INIE10 AN ADVERTISEMENT OF THIS SIZE DOES NOT ALLOW US TO DESCRIBE ALL OUR GIFT ITEMS.

The sheets are given to the students for completion to allow the board to determine the number of students wanting to enrol in a program the following year to permit the board to make staff adjUstMents in the schools. The German program offered at Seaforth involves 17 students in two classes. The language is taught to students in senior grades and has faced declining enrolment since 1974.75. Four years ago 27 students were taking German. In 1975-76 the number dropped to 2o. and in 1976-77 it The Huron County Hoard of Education wants to take a a•econd look at implications involved in cancelling language programs in two of its secondary schools. The. board looked at two recommendations for can- cellations at its Monday meeting, one to eliminate German classes at Seaforth District High School, and one to cancel Latin classes in Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton. Goderieh trustee Dor thy Wallace said she felt the board had to examine the whole question of education priorities before making a "snap decision based on five minutes discussion". Wallace added that due to declining enrolement in secondary schools the board may be forced to cut back programs and cancellation of subject in- struction now may have an affect on decisions the board has to make in the future. Wallace said the matter should be turned over to the education committee for investigation. She saidthe committee should look at similar programs offered in other county secondary schools and should consider the number of students involved. She added that the board had to consider the minimum number of students it could offer the course to and consider students that really want to learn languages. "I'm sorry it was left so late before it was brought to the board," she said. The requests were made with a reminder to the board that it had to deal with the matter quickly Football Continued from front page him from doing so. "Girls are Wanting to get in football programs now," said Brussels trustee D. McDonald. Separate school trustee Eugene Frayne, the trustee responsible for the motion to file the letter, said he felt the board didn't have enough information to comply with the request of the chiropractic association. He said if the associagon backed up the request with facts and figures regarding an alarming number of serious injuries the board would have to take a second look at the subject. The resolution from the association recommended the phasing out of .high school foot- ball because of a potential danger to adolescents. The letter said adolescent bodies are not suf- ficiently developed to be safe from spinal and neck injuries as a result of heavy body contact in football. Superintendent of education Jim Coulter said he had kept a list of injuries to students at school and during the last three years and that he has not had a football injury reported to him, He said children have broken arms falling off swings but he das not been made aware of serious football injuries. He added that it was possible any injuries received in the game may not have been reported to him. remained at N. This year the number dropped to 17. The Latin program in Clinton has not faced declining enrolment but a request from the head of the language department at that school suggested that the program was not involving a sufficient number of students. Marlene Gowanlock, head of the language department, said in a letter to 0.0. Phillips, principal of CHSS, that three teaching periods are being used for 39 students taking. Latin. She said the situation did not seem to be a wise use of teaching potential. Gowanlock said many people consider Latin to be a valuable discipline because it provides a basis for proper use of English vocabulary and grammar but she added that a well-organized modern English program could Only one •minor injury was reported in the four accidents investigated inthe area'by the Ex- eter OPP this week. The lone injury was sustained by Peter Cowie, Exeter, whose vehicle left Highway 4 just north of Exeter on Friday at 12:15 p.m. and rolled over in the ditch, Cowie had been proceeding south and after passing another vehicle, hit the shoulder of the highway as he pulled back into his own lane. The vehicle crossed the highway into the opposite ditch. His 1976 small model car was demolished in the accident and total damage was listed at $2,500 by Constable Larry Christiaen. A car driven by a Clinton woman, Elizabeth Warren, went out of control in the same area on Friday. Her vehicle struck a guide post and damage was set at $175 by Constable Jim Rogers. A CNR train was involved in a collision with a pickup truck in Hensall just before noon on Friday as well. The truck had been parked parallel to the tracks and was side-swiped by the train. The truck was owned by Huron Motor Products, Zurich. Engineer on the train was Lloyd Munroe, London. The train was pulling eight flat cars. In the only other accident of the week, a vehicle driven by Edward House, Huron Park, collided with a parked car on the Fleck Manufacturing lot at Huron Park, Saturday. The parked vehicle was owned by Gail Jinks, London. Constable Jack Straughan investigated and set total damage at $275, In their weekly press release, the OPP note a large increase in Liquor Licence Act infractions. A total of 13 charges were laid under the Act this week. Irt addition, 12 people were . . achieve the same goal. In 1974-75 the three senior grades at CHSS were taught Latin in two classes involving 29 students, That number rose to 34 in 1975-76 and one more class was added. In 1976-77 41 students took Latin and this year 39 are studying the subject, Wallace said she was puzzled that a teacher would recommend her course be dropped and wondered what the board would replace it with. She added that when one considers that shoots in other areas are introducing Latin as a means of upgrading English programs it was a wonder to her how a teacher could make a statement like that. The matter was turned over to the education committee for its December 19 meeting, charged under the Highway Traffic Act and there were three charges under the Criminal Code. THEY'RE OKAY If politicians in Ottawa and Toronto are upset with the RCMP over the illegal activities they've been charged with, that concern is not shared by Exeter politicians. A resolution placed before council from Pembroke this week had an opening statement that the RCMP is the finest police force in the world, "I agree," Reeve Si Simmons quickly commented before any more of the resolution was read., Councillor Derry Boyle said the police don't have enough powers in his estimation and noted that he wasn't afraid of wire taps. Council concurred with the resolution by a unanimous vote, thereby giving their wholehearted support to the RCMP. Report one injury in district collisions
