(Continued on Page 6) of appearance so parents wrestle • Local kids Kindergarten pupils who live in McKillop Township will continue attendance under a policy set two years ago which requires that they attend classes in Walton. A Huron County Board of Education meeting in Clinton Monday was told that since Kindergarten registrations con- ducted at Walton Public School indicate that thirty or more pupils will be enrolled there in Sep- tember and in accordance with Board practice of limiting kindergarten elasses to 28 pupils, the operation of a full-time kindergarten with two classes would be necessary. With Seaforth Public _School registrations, indicating that fewer than 20' pupils will be attending kindergarten there in September 1973, D. J. Cochrane, Director of Education recom- mended as an alternative that possibly five -students who live in McKillop Township adjacent to Seaforth be asked to attend school in Seaforth. He said transportation would be' provided to and from school. These pupils would be permitted to continue to attend Seaforth Public ,School in subsequent years. • John Henderson, Board member representing McKillop, opposed the suggestion and made a motion that all kindergarten students be required ,,to attend- the first day of school and if registration exceeds 28, then the class is to be split and 'the teacher at Walton hired on a full- fime basis. He asked for a re- corded vote and his 'motion car- ried, eight for and five opposed. Mr. Henderson said he was not in favour of using one area more - than another, "If the situation was reversed in Seaforth, you wouldn't go into the town and move some out to the rural area.

No deubt there are some teachers also anticipating, with pleasure, returning their duties in the classrooms.. At. least one teacher stated, early in the Vaca-i tioh period, that: she was not particularly enthralled with holidays. She missed the children ,and would be happier with them than on holidayt.

Mr. Hicks said a duplication of the Burford arena , which was built in 1970, would today cost , approximately $325,000. This amount would provide a total of 80 h.p. in eompressor for an ice surface of 180' x 80' for about seven months a year, in a build- ing with, pre-cast steel roof and sides and concrete block walls about 8' to 10' high. The ice surface would be lighted by about 50' candles, compared to the pre- sent light of about 15 foot can- dles. A community centre, or banquet hall above the ice sur- face and seating 160 to 250, (depending on cost) would also 'be included, along with dressing rooms, snack bar, lobby, office and maintenance rooms. These service rooms, " Mr. Hicks said, could all be built across the front and along one side of the arena with seating along the other side, to make the building easier for one (Continued on Page 3). 8 year old 'has lucky - escape Tim Culbert, eight-year-old son of Dr. and Mrs. C.

About 20 attended the meeting in the sweltering heat of the curling club room. If the present Brussels arena,, built in 1931, were enlarged and a larger ice surface installed, the building would not meet pro- vincial and federal safety stan- dards for public arenas, according to Gordon V. Hicks of Con-Dign Ltd., Waterloo, who • addressed the public meeting O'n the future of the arena. "Your arena may be alright the way it stands, but the minute you start enlarging it, present day safety regulations will be enforced and this arena will not meet them." Mr. .Hicks Said. He pointed out that the large arena timbers were adequate but that_ the joists were too far apart and that the roof sheeting would have to be 2" thick to. meet present day regulations.
