T-A photo Looking for a real live fox Traditional hunt near Lucan At 10.30 a.m. the group heads outside where they ready their mounts. Taking part in the hunt which may last four hours and cover two or three concessions are 15 riders and twenty pairs of hounds. The Trollope rarelycatch- es a fox with Wainright saying it was the actual ride which was the most en- joyable factor. Heading down the treed laneway the hounds sticking together like glue, lead the Trollope down the con- cession road. Soon, the dogs increase their pace with the group following at a comfortable distance. As with most organizations, certain positions must be filled. Trollope is senior master while Wainright is joint master. Robbie Trollope is first whip with Steve Preszcator amateur whip. Tina Sully-Robinson is master of the horses with Tony Vandenhoven in charge of the kennel. The Trollope also has a hunt supporter's group which involves non-riders in the hunt by acting as lookout for traffic. Coming to an intersection, the hunt stops temporarily while a rider goes off on a scouting mission. And then the hunt con- tinues for Reddy the Fox.

By Jeff Seddon Acclaimed chairman Donald MacDonald warned the Huron County board of education Monday that trustees face major decisions in the future and to make those decision it would have to work to keep education "hot in the minds" of taxpayers. The Brussels trustee and former vice-chairman of the board had his bid for chairman go unchallenged at the board's inaugural session. In his address to the board MacDonald outlined matters trustees would be forced to deal with as a result of declining enrolment. He said the only way problems caused by declining enrolment could be resolved is by establishing good relations with both board personnel and ratepayers. He told the board the hiring of a full time per- sonnel officer was a big step toward patching differences with board staff but warned that one person can't do all that has to be done. He said trustees would have to make a sincere effort to "consult" with staff and attempt to resolve issues with the knowledge of each other's "Problems and Frustrations," He told trustees it ap- peared the only time ratepayers took any interest in education was at budget time and at book approval time. He said that would have to change since many of the decisions the board would be making would affect the "lives and livlihood of a great many people". He said declining enrolment will reduce the population of the county schools be 300 to 400 students a year in the next four years. He added that provincial grants, based on a per capita formula, would be decreasing during that time. He pointed out that the board's budget now a $23 million package, was in- creasing by seven to ten percent annually which, unless something is done, will mean the budget will double in ten years. MacDonald told the board the director of education was preparing—a corriprehensive report on the effects of declining enrolment which should be ready fur the board in May. He said the board would then have to be ready to deal with the situation. He said dealing with declining enrolment may cause trustees to make decisions that would affect their future as trustees. "I ask you to do what you feel is just and fair," he said, FOR INFORMATION rs in South Huron Phone 235-1834 We Need More Big Brothers Nowi ( Exeter Lions Club New Year's Eve Dance SOUTH HURON REC CENTRE Music by MOZART & HIS MELODY MAKERS $25.00 per couple TICKETS AVAILABLE at Livingstone's Stationery & Gifts Turkey Roll Sponsored By EXETER MINOR HOCKEY ASSOC.

Page 18 Times-Advoc te, December 5, 1979 On a farm in Biddulph township all is quiet with the exception of the barking of hounds and neighing of horses. It's cool this Tuesday morning with indication in the sky that winter will soon be here. Inside the house of Lowell Wells at RR 1 Lucan a dozen gentlemen and ladies dressed in tunics and jodh- purs are milling around with a glass of sherry in their hand waiting for a few more friends to join them in one of the final rides of "The Trollope." Peter Wainright, an eradite Englishman says the "Trollope" named after London restauranteur Bob Trollope is a group of London and area riding enthusiasts who still practice the traditional form of the English fox hunt; in other words, they go after the fox and not a bag of scent. The Trollope has been operational for four years and meets twice a week from September to December to pursue the elusive member of the canine family. In addition to Biddulph township, the group rides in areas near Thamesford, Parkhill, Ingersoll, Thorn- dale. Wainright emphasized that the Trollope always receives permission from landowners before they enter private property. He said they have received excellent co-operation from the people of the Lucan area township. In recognition of their co-operation land- owners are treated to a dinner at one of Trollope's establishments.
