They contend that the proposed central school near Gorrie would be too far away from the homes of the Belmore area children The question was submitted to a board of arbitration appointed by the County Council this surnm..er and that board recommended in favor of the central school and against the request of the Belmore group for a school in their locality. The hearing presently under way in Goderich is occasioned by an ap- peal of the dissident group against the 'decision of the board of arbi- tration.
