After debate, Monday after- noon, it referred back to pro- perty committee a clause in its report merely recommend- ing that the town council con- sider provision of adequate parking facilities for personnel attending the courthouse on business or as employees. Sev- eral members expressed the op- inion that Goderich has no parking problem. Deputy Reeve Joseph Kerr, of Wingham, re- ceived some confirmation of his recollection that when the present,courthouse was built, "Goderfcli'• said they would always give county council a place to park their cars." The committee report pre- sented by chairman Alvin D. Smith, reeve of Turnberry, stated in part: "We feel that great inconvenience would be caused, to members of county council, to persons on business in the courthouse and to em- ployees themselves in this con- nection. We have no objection to parking restrictions if ade- quate facilities are provided within reasonable distance for parking of cars involved. "Then followed the recom- mendation requesting town council to provide facilities. "I am certainly in favour of the bylaw," stated Reeve Walk• om. "We were approached by 80% of the businessmen of the town, and I for one cannot go against 80%. We tried on various occasions to have the business men park their cars off the street, but no results. A survey by police showed 40% of cars parked around the square were those of businessmen which has nothing to do with county council but when they themselves came forward with a petition to council it was passed, and as far as I am con- cerned, it is there to stay." Deputy Reeve Jewell said Goderich has no parking pro- blem. Reeve Smith said it would be presumptuous to advise God- erich what they should do, but they would like some recom- mendation from the committee. Mr. Smith said, "It you would like us to go along with this sticker idea, we will suggest it even before the session is over, and then the onus will be on them." Board Hears Results Drop -outs Decrease Under New Educational Program The June meeting of the Wingham District High School Board was held at the school on Thursday of last week, and with a 12:30 a.m, adjournment, was one of the longest meetings of the year. A great deal of time was taken up in discussions with Lloyd Kyles, architect, who went over a number of change orders that have been approved in re- gard to the building program. The orders had to receive board approval as to price and in some cases estimates of cost were presented. The board also decided to oh- tain prices on black topping the whole area at the south entrance to provide better loading fa- cilities for the buses. A long discussion took place covering details of a proposal to instal awnings on classroom windows, facing the court, It was noted that the trans- portation committee will meet with the bus operators to go over problems in connection with service for next term. The board heard a report re- garding students who either at- tend the school, or who would like attend, but do not live with. in the boundaries of the district. It was noted that the board's policy is not to accept such students unless tuition is guar- anteed by either the school dis- trict in which they reside, or by the parents. The board accepted the re- signation of staff member R. D. McLaughlin, a science teacher, who will take up teaching duties in Ghana next year. The secretary, Miss Y, Mc- Pherson, told the board that a further grart for text books of $731.22. which will be provided free to Grades IX and X next term. has been. received. Prin- cipal F. F Madill said extra help will be required in getting the books ready this summer, and he recommended that the board purchase back books now held by students in the two grades this past term. The board approved the prin- cipal's request to attend the con- vention of the Headmasters' As- sociation in August, and was also informed that Mr. Madill has been requested to instruct at a special short course for new school Principals in London for one week this summer. The board agreed to the pur- chase of crests for the school curling and wrestling cham- pions. No student will attend the camp at Banff this summer, but the approval was made to F/L D. C.

Mr. Madill reported that at- tendance during May had aver- aged 96.48 percent of an enrol- ment of 765. The board .mem- bers expressed satisfaction with the faet that only 27 students had dropped out of school dur- ing the year compared to 48 in the previous year. The opinion was expressed that the new courses are having a beneficial effect in this regard. Mr. Madill said that the De- partment of Education, in co- operation with Canadian Cen- tennial Commission, is sponsor- ing a pilot project for a Fed- eral -Provincial Youth Travel Program and that the Wingham school had been asked to select one student to join the project. He explained that Janis Hender- son, of Wingham, had been selected and will be offered a two-week conducted bus tour of Saskatchewan this summer. Under the program there will be six groups of 26 students with two teachers included in each group, who will tour the various provinces of Canada. Selection of individual students was ]eft to the principal and staff of the selected schools, Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, June 18, 1964 Page 7 When the tramp knocked at the door of The George and Dragon Tavern, an acid -faced woman stuck out her head. "Could you spare a sand- wich?" asked the tramp. "No!" She slammed the door. A few minutes later he knocked again, "What is it now?" she snap- ped. "Could I have a few words with George?"
