Irv Armstrong of the local camper’s group approached the Board ana asked that May 19, 20 and 21 be set aside for the jamboree. Armstrong said that the Ontario Provincial Camper’s Association wanted to know how much the use of the facility was going to cost. The Board replied that it did not know what a fair charge would be and suggested that Armstrong find out from the provincial body the rates which they have been charged in other municipalities. The help in the snack bar came under for criticism by Board members and Centre employee Alvin Willert. Willert said that he was convinced that the conces­ sion booth was losing money because of the inability of some staff members to make change. On one occasion Jerry MacLean said he noticed a member of the concession Encourage schools to use 'resources7 School principals in the Huron-Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School system are being en­ couraged by William Eckert, director of educa­ tion, to continue having resource people from the Stratford Shakespearean Festival staff come into the schools this year as they have in the past. Mr. Eckert, reporting to the trustees at a board meeting in Dublin, Monday said he had spoken to the principals following a presentation from Festival represen­ tatives last month when the use of the resource people was offered. Mr. Eckert pointed out that besides resource people from the Festival staff the principals informed him they use many other resource people during the year such as artists, Police have slow week Only two accidents were investigated by the Exeter OPP this week. One was a hit and run reported on Friday by David Gibson, Crediton. His vehi­ cle was damaged while parked in Centralia. Damage was estimated at $400. On Saturday, vehicles operated by Herbert Heywood and Gary T. Kyle, both of Exeter, were in­ volved in a collision on Highway 4 just north of Ex­ eter. Total damage was set at $650. Heywood sustained minor injuries. During the week, the local detachment officers charg­ ed 15 people under the Li­ quor Control Act. Two peo­ ple were charged with im­ paired driving. The detachment was represented at the funeral held on Tuesday for District 6 Supertendent Joe Jones, who died in Kitchener- Waterloo hospital on the weekend. He had been engaged at the Mt. Forest headquarters for the past three years. staff hand a customer what appear to be an uncounted amount of change. MacLean said that he was tempted to ask the customer how much change he had recieved. Willert concurred with this and said that kids today can’t make change. It was suggested that the board look at paying better money for better help. The Board expressed pleasure with the idea of having concessionaires work the stand but they expressed disappointment at the way which it has operated this year. MacLean said “there’s a buck to be made" but the present system was not working. Two youths have been buy­ ing canned pop and potatoes chips at a special price from the Rec Centre and selling it in the stands. While MacLean said that more items should be sold in the stands, Steve Pfaff dis­ agreed, saying that popcorn and pop are the items that should be pushed. Continuing a j occupation with food, pre- the ex-puppeteers, cadets, change students from other countries, librarians, firemen and police on safety programs to name a few. The board renewed its contract with the Simplex Time Equipment Company of London from March 1, 1978 to March 1, 1979 for $1,- 296, an increase of $216 or 20 per cent over last year for maintenance for the fire alarm systems in the schools, the clocks, score boards,etc. The board endorsed a resolution from the Northumberland and New­ castle Board of Education opposing the proposal of the 28 per cent rate increase by Bell Telephone in July. Mr. Eckert announced that education week would be from April 17 to 21 on the theme “Speak to Me of Yourself". Programs being carried out in the various 19 schools in the system were handed out to the trustees so that they could attend some of the activities in their schools. The trustees were asked to announce the programs being carried out in the schools at the various church services next Sun­ day. The board will offer a pen­ sion plan to non-academic personnel working more than 24 hours per week in the schools, effective July 1, in accordance with the Ontario Municipal employees retire­ ment system. as manager Jim Scott, Exeter, has been appointed manager at the Exeter terminal for Laidlaw Transport Limited. He joined Guenther Tuckey as a driver in 1962 and from there went into the office as a biller, then to dispatch and on to chief dispatcher and assistant manager. He suceeds Eric Campbell in his new position. Mr. Campbell will remain as vice-president of Guenther Tuckey. Board agreed after some debate to purchase the pop­ corn machine which the Centre presently rents. The purchase price is $450. The Board made a somewhat reluctant deci­ sion to allow six members of the Big Brothers group and their little brothers to attend tomorrow night’s hockey game between the Exeter Hawks and St. George, free. The request which was made by Shaw, received a cool reaction from Down who felt that it could be a precedent setting action, and that there were other groups who were just as deserving. Pfaff disagreed, saying that while many other charitable organizations could receive government funds, this was one group that received little outside funding. Latter on in the discus­ sion, Shaw agreed with Down that it could set a precedent but that wasn’t necessarily bad. MacLean offered to pay the group’s way in but Shaw declined, saying that “This would be the easy way out.’’ On a motion made by MacLean, the Board decided to let the group in for free, to the game. In other business, the Board: Learned that the centre has made approximately $250 from the serving of meals to OPP personal who are here for the Fleck strike. Were informed that the four positions for the swim­ ming pool staff have been filled.

Cochrane suspended Glanville’s license for three months. Three people pleaded guil­ ty to violations of the Unemployment Insurance Act. Roseanne Prenett, RR 1, Wroxeter, was found guilty on two counts of receiving more money than was legal­ ly due and was fined $50 or five days on each offense. The total overpayment amounted to $248. Paul Kramers of Seaforth plead guilty to four counts and was fined $50 or five days for each count. The overpayment of unemploy­ ment insurance funds to Kramers was $660. Bruce Beemer of Huron Park pleaded guilty to two counts under the Unemploy­ ment Insurance Act and was fined $50 or five days for each count.
