The board approved in
principle a request from
principal Dave Zyluck of St.
Joseph’s School,
Kingsbridge, for him to
launch a program to raise
funds through the St.
Joseph’s School Association
to build a tennis court on the
school property, which will
be used as an ice rink in

such as acrobatics, elec
tronics, tailoring, mime,
singing, composing.
“We would like to offer the
skills that many members of
the Festival have to the
school children who live in
the surrounding areas. If
your schools have a teaching
need that falls within those
areas, or another area that
might be connected with the
Festival, we would like you
to come to us with that need.
“We in turn, once we have
been approached, will try
through our education co
ordinator to meet that need
by supplying to the school
the kind of resource person
required.”
She gave several examples
of suggested projects such as
a school might have a strong
staff in music who have built
- up an interest in singing, but
the staff has hesitated to
combine music and drama
because of a lack of skills in
direction. If the music staff
His travel allowance will be
increased from 18 cents to 20
cents. He has the option of
obtaining dental and ex
tended health care during
the year, if desired with the
board paying 90 percent of
the cost.
The board will advertise
for a part time custodian to
be hired for 30 percent time
at Holy Name of Mary
School, St. Marys. The duties
of the present custodian will
be reduced to 70 percent
time. The custodial duties
are to be assigned ac
cordingly.
The board accepted the
resignations of Kenneth
Miskiewicz at St. James
Separate School, Seaforth,
and Sister Florence Kelly,
Principal of St. Patrick’s
School, Dublin, effective
August.
Board Chairman Donald
Crowley, RR 2 Gadshill,
stated the 37 1/2 percent
increae in OHIP rates an
nounced a few days ago, will
have a great impact on the
board’s budget as the in
crease was unexpected. It
will cost the board an extra
$15,228.
Trustee Michael Connolly
of Kippen asked if the OHIP
fees cheque was sent to the
Ministry or the Treasurer of
Ontario and he was told it
was sent to the Treasurer.
Mr. Connolly replied, “Yes, I
thought it went to the
treasurer and where it goes
after that nobody knows — it
all goes into one big pie.”
Chairman Crowley said he
had attended the public
speaking contest in Dublin
on Thursday night and
wished to congratulate the
Ontario English Catholic
Teachers Association of
Huron and Perth for spon
soring the worthwhile
program. ‘‘I wish to say the
teachers should be com
mended on their efforts.”
Shelagh Hewitt, education
co-ordinator for the Strat
ford Festival and John
Heney, the president, at
tended the board session to
make a proposal on behalf of
Robin Phillips, artistic
director of the Festival. Mrs.
Hewitt said the Festival is a
resource centre largely
untapped by the community
that lies around it.
She said, “because Robin
Phillips and the Stratford
Festival believe in the young
people of this country we
would like to help in the
development of that
resource (the young
people).”
Continuing she stated:
“Our product depends
largely on the talents of the
many people who work for
us. In our community are
directors, designers, actors,
musicians, technicians,
cabinet makers, writers,
dancers, singers, seam
stresses. Within these
general groups we have
people with special talents
was interested in doing a
program which combined
the two fields, someone from
the Festival could be used as
a resource person to work
with the teachers and the
students to produce a
musical drama.
She suggested some of the
resource peoplemight beused
only for a day, others might
be involved in a project
lasting several weeks. —
depending on the type of
developed in the schools, a
coming together of the
school children and young
adults in the community to
perform the project un
dertaken. It would give the
projects a goal and a focus —
the people of the community
an exciting outlet to dispel
the gloom of the winter
months.
She said the resource
people would be available
September to December and
project and the needs of the- it was preferred that the
teachers and students.
She explained the offer to
these resources by saying
that next year a short winter
season is being planned,
composed of two family
oriented plays. This will
result in many of the
members of the Stratford
Festival being in the
Stratford area for almost an
entire year.
She said
would like
culmination
resource people go to the
school rather than the
students to the Festival
Theatre.
Mrs. Hewitt said the
program for separate school
students would be for schools
in both Huron and Perth
counties. It is a non cost item
to the board,” she said.
She concluded “If you find
the offer interesting and
challenging it is up to you,
the people responsible for
education, to take us up on it.
We have introduced this
offer at the board level so
that if you decide to act upon
it you can take it to your
schools.”
Gregory Fleming,
Crediton, chairman of
transportation, said the
committee is planning
meetings with the tran
sportation committees of the
Huron and the Perth county
boards of education to
discuss current problems for
mutual benefit.
