Mrs. Stewart Steiss was leader and used the theme "Mother." She read an appropriate verse and the hymn "For the beauty of the earth" was sung. The scripture passage, Luke 1: 39-56 was read in unison, followed by a medita- tion and prayer, Highlights from the secretary's books for the years 1954-1964 were given by Mrs. Engel. The President, Mrs. Earl Dunn, conducted the busi- ness and read a poem. Roll call was a Mother from the Bible.

The Huron-Perth County Rom- an Catholic Separate School Board Monday turned down a proposal by a vote of 11-2 to hold school board meetings in the 19 schools in the two counties on a rotating basis. Michael Connolly, R.R. 3, Kippen, chairman of the board, in his inaugural address said one of the:priorities for the year was in the area of communication bet- ween board, teachers and parents and spoke of the importance of keeping channels of communica- tion open. Following his address Howard Shantz of Stratford sug- gested one way of keeping communication channels open between the board and the parents would be for the second board meeting each month to be held in one of the 19 schools in the two counties until all the schools were covered. When the proposal was brought up again at the meeting Monday, it was suggested it would be inconvenient for the administrative staff to have all the additional information necessary for the meetings available at the school where the meeting would be held. (Often during meetings it is necessary for a member of staff to go to the files for material to Provide information for a trustee during a discussion.) The cost factor was considered - the increased mileage costs would be considerable for the trustees to travel to one end of the two counties rather than for them to meet at a central point, as the board office in Seaforth Michael Connolly said that if any delegation wished to attend a. particular meeting lie would be happy to accommodate it. The general consensus seemed to be that as no requests for meetings to be held in any particular area had been received it. was decided that the meetings- continue in the board room with Howard Shantz and David Teahen opposed. • Joseph Looby of Dublin em- phasized to the press that anyone is welcome to attend a regular board meeting, but added they would not be able to attend a committee-of-the-whole meeting. The property and maintenance committee was voted $5,000 additional to the $19,000 already granted that committee, so that the necessary maintenance work such as repairing and painting can be completed. Jack Lane, Business Adminis- trator, was authorized to attend a conference in Toronto May 26, 27 and 28 to be held by the Ontario Association of School Business officials. The Muskoka Board of Educa- tion forwarded a resolution that legislation be amended to provide that school buses be required to operate their flashing signals when loading or unloading school students from a street or roadway unless unobstructed sidewalks are provided together with a system of crosswalks or signal lights so that students may cross the street or roadway safely. A copy of the board's 1972 resolu- tion, similar to the above, will be forwarded to the Muskoka Board for information.
