Flower Show on July 18
Many folk in this area are proud to trace
their ancestry back to the stalwart settlers
from England, Scotland and Ireland who
came from the Old Country to settle in
Bruce County back in the 1800's.
To honour our pioneers, the SOUTH
PORT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY has
chosen "A Floral Tribute to our Pioneers"
as the theme of their Flower Show to be
held on Saturday, July 18, 1987, at the
BRUCE COUNTY MUSEUM, Victoria
Street, Southampton. Both the Society and
the Museum are co-operating to present an
interesting and varied Show.
Members of the Society may enter any of
the 75 classes in the Show, including An-•.
nuals and Biennials, Perennials, Vines,
Herbs, House Plants, and Outdoor
Planters. The Design Division carries the
theme: "A Floral Tribute to our
Pioneers." Judge of the Show will be Mrs.
Marion Kitchen of St. Catharines and
Tobermory.
In front of the Museum's log house is the
Historical Herb Garden, tended by the
Society and refurbished for this year's
Flower Show. The 28 herbs grown in this
arden are those which were known in
Bilice County in the 1800's and might have
been used by a lady who lived in such a log
house.
Tea - in the British tradition - an English
Cream Tea will be served in our Tea
Room.
The Flower Show will be open to the
public from 2 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, July
18th. Join us for "A Floral Tribute to our
Pioneers".

Grant given to enlarge one
school forces closure of another
by Wilma Oke
To get a grant to enlarge one Roman
Catholic elementary school in Stratford led
to the closing of another.
The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic
Separate School Board voted unanimously
Monday night to close Immaculate Concep-
tion School, its smallest elementary school
in the city in June 1988.
In order to get a grant from the Ministry
of Education to expand and provide better
facilities for St. Ambrose Separate School
approval was conditional on Irnmaculate
Conception closing. Its (Immaculate Con-
ception) attendance has been declining in
the last three years from 150 down to 92
students now and signs point to the decline
continui.ng.
Following notification on June 9 by the
Ministry it had approved a $1.2 million addi-
tion to St. Ambrose School, the board chair-
man, Dave Durand of Zurich said trustees
had to act quickly.
"There was no easy way to do it," said
Education Director William Eclert.
The parents of the students were warned
the next day by a letter sent home with
students of the intent to close the school.
Pupils who would have attended Im-
maculate Conception will be taken by bus to
St'. Ambrose beginning in September 1988,
when the addition is to be -completed.
The addition to St. Ambrose will make it a
full facility school with a new ad-
ministrative area, six additional classrooms
including a kindergarten, two of the new
classrooms will be large enough to house a
music room and a science lab, a special
education class and a special Guidance
room, a gymnatorium with stage and
change rooms and new washrooms.
Six Stratford parents attended the board
meeting but had no voice at the meeting as
they were not on the agenda to speak. Dur-
ing the recess period in the lunch room they
expressed their opposition to the closure of
the only school in the east end of the city.
One parent raged he may send his children
to a near -by public school rather than hav-
ing them bused to St. Ambrose which is
about a mile and a half away in the south
end of Stratford.
Trustee Ernest Vanderschot of. St. Marys,
chairman of the. board's accommodation
review committee, told the press he is not
worried about parents reacting to the clos-
ing by sending their children to a public
school. He spoke of the obvious advantages
of a Catholic school.
Trustee Louis Maloney of Dublin said he
would have liked to have heard the concerns
of the parents before he voted on closing Im-
maculate Conception. They were not invited
to speak during the meeting.
Dave Durand, board chairman, spoke of
the recent closure of Ecole Ste Marie at RR
2, Zurich, in his area. He said the parents no
longer oppose the closure as they realize
that the larger school with all the facilities
offers more to the students.
The board plans to keep the Immaculate
Conception building but hasn't any im-
mediate plans for it.' Trustee Ron Marcy of
Stratford wondered if when t • , lard gets
the money for St. Ambrose it coul . • -open
Immaculate Conception if needed an
mothball it. He said the board should not
dispose of it until the money is received
from the ministry for the new secondary
