Use of High School Expensive
At a recent meeting of the Wing-
am District High School 'Board a
couple of weeks ago there Was C011Sid-
erable discussion about the renting of
the 'high school auditorium and kitch•
en to Outside drganizations. During
the course of the discussion it appear-
ed that renting of the high school
during a period of a year would, likely
cost the board approximately $1,000,
exclusive of rentals received.
such an auditorium, and at the same
time to avoid nnueeessa,ry expenditure
of the taxpayers' money. It's a-rather
thorny problem,.
One of the contributing factors to
the problem is the fact that the audi-
torium is an expensive place to main-
tain. The auditorium floor is not
suited' for muddy boots and must have
a protective coat of wax before it can
be , used by outside audiences, The
wax must be applied before and re-
moved after each performance, Th.e
heating plant of the building,. which. is
usually turned down at night, must
be kept running full blast when the
building is being used at night during
the winter. Halls must be mopped
and other maintenance chores done;
which keep the janitor on the go for
an estimated 'six hours each evening-
the building is used.
Members of the board feel that
the high school is a community build
ing, and should be used by the people
of the community. However; it does
appearthat the use of a smaller and.
less expensive auditorium might be
more advisable in some cases,, because
of the expense involved in using the
high school.

Due to the, nature of the auditor-
ium and the building, it apparently
costs approximately $16,50 per night
for maintenance supplies, heat and
light, and to this must be added the
janitor's fees for being on hand while
the building' is being used. Some of
the organizations using the building
pay. rent, but their number is small,
Since the building is rent-free to "edu-

Looking over the sodden fields in
the district during the past few weeks,
it occurred to us that it's a case of • . .
feast or famine with the water situ-
adorn', For about half the year there's
so much water around you don't know
what to :do-with it, and the, rest of
the time everything's as dry as fa bone
and, water' is in short supply.
That too much water is almost
as bad as not enough has been
demonstrated this spring, if you call
it that, when seeding operations
throughout the area have been held
up f9r weeks because of flooded fields.
It makes on.e appreciate why ditches
are dug to carry the run-off, and why
drainage is such as important factor
in agriculture.
Unfortunately there seems to . be
a clash in objectives between ditches
and cOnserliatioll. of water. The more
water that is allowed to run off in the
spring, the. lower the water table is
apt to fall in the summer, with the
result that areas which are covered
with raging torrents early in the
season turn out to be dry gulches by

distance, I am talkin g in terms of
mid-August.. Although we in Huron
are not too troubled with a shortage
of water, other areas in the province
have found the problem acute, and
even in this district welts 'have been
known to run dry in. a continuously
hot summer like that of last year.
•
As the practice of ditching becomp
more and more widespread it is likely
that the problem will become more
acute. Already water shortages in
various parts of the province have
prompted the •consideration of irri-
gation projects, and it is not incon-
ceivable that in the future we will be
snp,porting an expensive network of
ditches to carry off the water in the
spring, and an equally expensive sys-
tem of irrigation to replace the water
in the summer.
Not being water conservationists,,
we don't know what the- answer is.
However it would seei;ri to tiS that the
▪ solution must lie iii some method of
containing the surplus, water which
pours down Air ditches and rivers
in the springs
Whether this can be done on an,
individual basis, with each fartit con-
taining its own reservoir,. or whether
it must be done on a grand scale, as
is being planned by the variotti con-
servation authorities in. the province,
remains to be seen,
tither way would appear to be
more economical than running a pipe

Not long ago in a special supple-
ment to "The Times" (Dondon),
Basil Willey, ProfesSor of English,
Literature, Cambridge, writing on
'The Social Influence of the Bible",
cited Matthew Arnold's complaint
in 1870 that the Bible was being
less read.. Willey claimed that
Arnold would have even greater
'cause for complaint now.. He
writes, "The great majority of the
young of today have not been
taught the Bible, at their mdther's
knee, nor heard it read aloud at
family prayers or in church. They
know as little about it as they do
about Homer or Virgil." "This,"
he continues, "is a disturbing
thought, for the combined heritage
of classical. and biblical antiquity
have hitherto given our Western
,civilization whatever ideal mean-
png and purpose it has ever had."
