13 year old tells why g
she likes the Post
lam not very old, only 13. years
old, l have read the BruSSelsTOst
now for a long arne,"and I enjoy
reading it. A matter, of fact I can
hardly wait 'till the next *Brussels.'
Post conies out on. Thursday.
What 1 find that I like so much in
the Post, is the news around our
area, and events and things that
go on.
It has ads for things for sale,
and I read them over to see if I
want to buy . anything or sell
something. Also it tells what
people were injured or who was in
accidents; that column is under
the O.P.P. police department. It
tells about anniversaries in the
area, and who died.
I can remember when they had
a flood in Brussels last year, and a
matter of fact this year too, and
the main title of the Brussels Post
was "Flood damages area". It
was the main title because people
were interested in the "Flood
storm" that took place. It hag--
sometimes about Howick Central
and Grey Central schools, and
There is so much criticism
levelled at young people that is
it is gratifying to have a
complithentary remark to pass on•
to them. A Brussels lady btought
to our attention that while some
P.E.Madill students Were on a trip to Niagara, Falls last
Saturday the manager of the
restaurant where they had theft
lunch remarked that they were
the most mannerly school group
he had se, rved, What a nice
Cetpliment to hear about.

the Post has been made, date
1872 to 1976. My •Grandma said
that she can remember the first
time she read the Brussels 'post,
she says it was thicker and had
much more news in it, but we still
enjoy reading the paper.
So people that have not read
the Brussels Post or bought it,
you should because there is a lot
of local news, and things that
might be going on in the
neighbourhood or area. I guess
this is most all I can think of so I
will 'close my letter about the

they know what their taxes will be
for next year. The budget which

At a meeting of the
Huron-Perth County Roman
Catholic Separate School Board in
Dublin Monday night criticism
was levelled by the school
principals at one of the board
members for his critical remarks
at the previous board meeting
about professional development
days for teachers.
Howard Shantz of Stratford
read a letter he had received from
Leo Turner, principal of Holy
Nairie of Mary School at St.
Marys, reporting that the
Principal's Association, of which
he is corresponding secretary,
takes exception to a remark made
by him at the last board meeting
when he said he does not find
professional activity days for
teachers "too worthwhile".
Mr. Turner said in his
lettet,"We feel that professional
activity days are a definite asset
to or SySteni and the children in
Out charge.' ' He
continued, `Statements such as
the one abeve, when printed, in'
the press (Stratford teacOri

mill rate set. H owever, when the • budget was presented to the
auditor Tuesday morning he
poor light upon our system. We
request, therefore.; that your
statement be substantiated or
formally retracted at the next
meeting of the Board:,"
In a written response to the
board Mr. Shantz repeated his
statement, "I will re-emphasize
the fact that I. still do' not support
P.D. days." H e gave as one of the
reasons a recent example that he
knew of Ohe•of the teachers from
Mr. Turner's school who had
gone to London on the afternoon
of the last P.D. day on April 30.
Mr. Shantz said he had many
similar examples described to
him and he had received a great
deal of flack from ratepayers
about P.D. days. -
Mr. Shantz said he represented
Stratford along with three other
trustees and he did not intend to
be dictated to by the ptineipals, in
the system whom he said hd
'thought wanted to be spokesmen
for the beard.
Mr. Shantz said, "Lord knows
they .have enough to do if they
concentrated on the twining. Of
our schools -=We have yet to' attain
perfection Mete'
