CAS Needs Homes For Older Children GODIIRICH-"Shunting off'of aged people to institutions, how- ever comfortable, is no substi- tute for the family life theypre- fer, and is a "retrograde step" in Canadian civilization, Judge R. S. Hetherington said in ad- dressing the annual meeting of Huron County Children's Md Society here. It should be con- sidered very seriously, his honor said, "because in another 20 years your children will be pack- ing acking you off to such places. Adopting the report of a nominating committee, read by secretary John G. Berry, the meeting re-elected Mrs. Ken- neth Johns, of Exeter, as presi- dent; Reeve Ivan Haskins of Howick, 1st vice-president and Mrs. Albert Taylor, Goderich, 2nd vice-president. Only two changes were made in the list of directors, which now is as follows: James Doig, Seaforth; Mrs. Howard Klumpp, Dash- wood; Mrs. Bert Baechler, God- erich; Mrs. Mervyn Cudmore, Exeter; Mrs. Douglas Bartliff, Clinton, Mrs. Cecil Blake, Dun- gannon; Mrs. Roy Bennett, Wingham, Alvin Rau, Stanley; Mrs. F. Fingland, Clinton; Mrs. J. A. Gorwill, Seaforth; Mrs. Maurice Bean, Hullett; Clar- ence Hanna, Belgrave; Reeve Clifford Dunbar, Grey; Reeve Alvin D. Smith, Turnberry; Reeve Grant Stirling, Goderich Township, and the municipal representative, Reeve. Reg. Jew- ell, Goderich. County clerk - treasurer Berry continues as secretary, deputy clerk -treas- urer B. G. Hanley as treasurer. Honorary members are Mrs. George Johnston, Goderich; Harry McCreath, Goderich; Arthur Curry, Goderich; Hugh Berry, Woodham; R. B. Cousins, Brussels, and John Winters, Ford- wich. The business meeting was ,preceded by a dinner, an ex- periment which resulted in at- tendance of 200, instead of the usual handful. Many of the Soc- iety's oo-iety's foster parents were guests, and Warden Glenn Webb of Stephen praised " those who open their homes and hearts to pro- vide foster homes; they have earned the gratitude of the mu- nicipal council and of the peo- ple of Huron." Head table guests included L. E. Cardiff, M. P. , Huron, and Mayor Frank Waikom, of Goder- ich, both of whom spoke brief- ly, and H. Glenn Hays, judge of the juvenile and family court, who introduced Judge Hetherington, guest speaker. Head table guests were introdu- ced by Reeve Haskins. Mrs. Johns, in her report as president, said the Society is "desperately in need" of foster homes for some older children in care. She reported that the work of the society has shown a continued increase. The local director, Miss Clare McGowan introduced the foster parents of 1964 who were present, and said that these and others had done a marvellous job for years. "The revision of our written policy," she said in her report, "is a great help to us, and we thank our hardworking policy and personnell committee. The Auxiliary and Christmas Bureau have unloaded a tremendous responsibility from the shoulders of our staff." JUDGE HETHERINGTON Judge Hetherington cited some civilizations of the past that passed away from lack of one or other of three essentials which have preserved Christian civilization of the West: belief in Divinity and the hereafter; adequate but not excessive at- tention to responsibility of peo- ple to one another. their muni- cipality, state and church and to their families and friends, things that cannot be bought with money. People should ac- cept that responsibility, he said, and be prepared to devote as much time as necessary to the very personal things, Un- less our children are instructed in these three aspects, he said, they get too strong in one or another, and the wheel goes out of balance. It was in this connection that Judge Hetherington made his remarks about aged persons and institutions. Wingharn Advance -Times, Thursday, Feb, 18, 1966 Page S Principal Reports Four More Teachers Needed Principal F. E. Madill, in his report to the regular meeting of the Wingham District High School Board on Thursday even- ing said that expected enrol- ment next fall will reach 971 pupils. This, he went on, will mean that four additionaiteach- ers will be required, bringing the number on staff to 44, The requirements are based on a sur- vey of enrolment in Grade 8 classes in the district and on the number of students now in the school, less the numbers ex- pected to leave. It was antici- pated that the Grade 13 classes will have to be enlarged. The principal also stated that two new courses in physics and chemistry, which are auth- orized by the Department of Ed- ucation, will require the pur- chase of several pieces ofequip- ment. The board authorized the secretary to make application to the department for grants on these items, A budget for the coming year of $10, 773 for school sup- ply in the various departments of the school was approved. Mr. Madill also said that the prefects have proved to be an excellent addition to the school, and that they have done a good job. He said it was hoped that arrangements can be made to take them to the O'Keefe Centre later in the spring. Attendance had averaged 95.9 per cent, with enrolment standing at 858. The principal told the board that a convention of secondary school principals held in Florida, which he had attended in Janu- ary, had been most useful. He .said over 8,000 had attended, of which 80 had been Ontario people. Board member John Taylor, reporting for the cafeteria com- mittee, said his group had visit- ed Clinton to study the opera- tion in that school. Some con- sideration is being given to starting three lunch hours in the fall. STUDENT TEACHERS A letter from the College of Education, University of West- ern Ontario, requested permis- sion from the board to have students from the college use the Wingham school for prac- tice teaching. The board grant- ed this permission. The board also granted a re- quest from the Bluewater Chap- ter of the Ontario Vocational Educational Committee to hold a meeting at the school on March 18th. Mr. Cardiff, chairman of the management committee, told the board that meetings had been held with office em- ployees regarding salaries and a pension plan. The negotia- tions regarding salaries had been completed and the board ap- proved increases for the group, The pension plan, Mr, Cardiff said, would be the Ontario Municipal Employees' Retire- ment Service. The subject still requires study and will be brought up at the next board meeting. Mr. Cardiff said that prelim- inary meetings had been held with the staff to negotiate sal- aries, but no settlement had been arrived at as yet. The problem of tuition fees for students attending the school who reside in either the Clinton or Goderich districts was discus- sed. Negotiations have been going on with Goderich, the latter board refusing to pay tui- tion, As a result the board told the secretary to write the par- ents of the students in question to inform them that the students will not be enrolled at the Wingham school next fall. A number of recommenda- tions from the Vocational Ad- visory Committee were brought up, including insurance for stu- dents out of the school taking on-the-job training, the budget for the vocational section and an agreement with McClure Mo- tors regarding the driver train- ing car. All were approved by the board. The W. D. H. S. Science Clut asked permission to hold a Science Fair at the school in April. This was granted. The fair will be supported by 17 schools from the Bruce Peninsu- la to Exeter and as far east as Orangeville. Board members were remind- ed that the annual school con- cert will be held on Thursday and Friday evenings of this week, Mr. Brewer was named as a member of the transportation committee.
