In addition metal soccer posts will be installed with final board approval after the money is available. 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 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.
