THE LOWEST OR ANY TENDER NOT NECESSARILY ACCEPTED. 21-70-1 Brussels ARENA COMMITTEE Nears Objective As of January 1, only $3,355 still had to be raised before the cost of construction of the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre had been reached. This amount will increase due to interest accumulating on an outstanding Wintario payment of $27,779. This final payment from Wintario has been applied for and it is expected that the interest on the loan at the bank, that this loan grant will cover, should cost another $1,000. This amount will vary however, depending on how long it takes the grant to come through. This means that the actual total left to liaise is about $4;300. The building committee would like to give individuals within the community first opportunity to help pay off this final outstanding balance. Whether you were missed in the canvass, whether you just want to be a part of the final drive for funds, or whether you want to increase your donation to $1 0 000 to get your name on the plaque in the arena, whatever the reason, now is your chance, Donations will be accepted on a first-come-first-ser- ved basis, so if you intend to donate, do it now.

HPRCSS wants bus curb ended BY WILMA OKE Members of the Huron-Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School board are hoping a ministry of education policy they believe penalizes smaller schools without gymnasiums can be changed. The ,local school board plans to seek the ' approval of the [Ontario Separate School Trustees Association for a resolution it will put forward at the annual conference in Toronto April 4 and 5. The resolution asks that the ministry of education re-instate a previous policy where the ministry pays for students to be bussed to another school for the use of gymnasium facilities or bussed to a facility for swimming programs. A recent resolution, which came into effect Jan. 1, 1979, allows only home to school transportation; transportation of handicapped pupils to treatment facilities; and school-to-school class trips where the same class is transported to and from the same school 15 or more trips during the school year, to be funded by the ministry of education. TRANSPORTATION Under previous regulations, school-to-school transportation was expanded to include transportation to a facility for swimming programs and to an other school for the use of gymnasium facilities. Neither of these programs qualify under the new regulations and, if carried out, must be funded from ordinary expenditures and controlled by the maximum pupil expenditure ceiling. Local school board members believe this regulation imposes a penalty on a school without a gymnasium. This seems to imply a change in the ministry's philosophy, which previously permitted the use of another school's facilities where capital improvements could not be justified at the home school. The board will send copies to all school boards in the province asking them tq support the resolution. In other busineii at the 'board" meeting held in Monday. John O'LeaFy, chairman of the property committee,' *Ai granted $15,000 to carry out maintenance work in the various schools. In asking for the I allowance he said, "You are well aware that there is work to be done and it is better to get workmen in now when they are not so busy." Albert Runsteller, a member of Mornington Township council and a separate school supporter, has asked the board for permission to put some recreational equipment such as swings, slides and other outside game at St. Mary's School, Hesson. He said the Moriiington Recreational Association would give $250 toward the equipment, the Holy Name Society, $500 and the Catholic Women's League, $100. He said the equipment would I cost approximately $1,400 and he asked the board to give about $600. This the trustees agreed was not possible as board policy will only allow them to install baseball diamonds and basket ball courts. Mr. Runsteller will be asked to seek other sources for the remaining costs or install equipment to the value of the money nol,‘, pledged. The Catholic Parent Teacher Association ofi St. Joseph's School in Clinton has written the board to rort the Minister of education has been asked to agree to provide an addition to the school in accordance with the proposal in the five year forecast for such work by the board. They included copies of letters from three local members of provincial legislature, Jack Riddell, Murray Gaunt and Hugh Edighoffer saying they supported the addition and had requested Minister of Education Bette Stephenson to approve the addition to the school. The board will encourage members of the. Grade 7 and 8 in the 19 schools in the system to write an essay on "Mary, the Mother of God" as proposed in the Catholic Register. The next meeting will be held on February 12.
