cy will have to be raised and
on band before work can start
and to obtain the centennial
grant this will have to be done
before July 1st, as these grants
expire at that time.
Members of the Lions Club
and Kinsmen Club who were
present said they were of the
opinion that their organizations
will back the project, but it
will have to have general sup-
port from the community as
well, It was suggested that or-
ganizations such as these may
want to make commitmentsov-
er two or three years, and that
it might be possible to make
loans against such commit-
ments,
Mr. Conron told the meet-
ing that it is up to the group to
decide whether or not the pro-
ject should proceed, and if so,
it will be up to the finance
committee to get on the ball
and raise the money.
On a motion of Elwood Irwin
and Dr. W. A. McKibbon, the
group agreed with the proposal
of the building committee and
to proceed with the scheme.
The finance committee was
asked to start on immediate
plans for a fund raising cam-
paign. Mrs. Roger West said
W. T. Cruickshank has agreed
to take on the chairmanship of
the committee provided he has
some assistance. He was not at
the meeting. Others named to
the committee at a previous
meeting were Mrs. Alan Hafer-
mehl, Ken Wood, Mrs. Robert
Ahara, Gordon Beard, Reuben
Harrison, Bud Cruickshank-, Mrs.
Freddie Templeman and a mem-
ber of the high school Students'
Council.
On the building committee
are Bill Conron, Dr. McKibbon,
Dave Burgess, Ray Bennett, Mm
Hafermehl, Ed Anderson, Scott
Reid and Miss Gloria Reed.

Firemen had
several calls
during week
Two fire calls, literally
within seconds of each other,
were answered by the Wingham
fire brigade on Thursday after-
noon. Fortunately, neither re-
sulted in injury or serious prop-
erty damage. The call from
the second fire was received at
the station before the firemen
had left for the first one.
About 5:55 Bill Austin notic-
ed flames in the log cabin to
the rear of the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Don Cameron of Victoria
Street. Mrs. Cameron turned in
the alarm and firemen were
quickly on the scene. Unfortun-
ately, a valve in the water
pump broke, delaying the fire-
men for a few moments. In the
meantime, Harvey Aitchison,
a fireman, used a garden hose
to check the blaze but it was
not brought under control until
the larger hoses of the firemen
were operative.
No cause for the fire has
been established as there was
no one in the building at the
time and there was no fire in
the cabin stove. The log cabin
was purchased by Mr. Cameron
about 1955 and was used as a
clubhouse. Nothing of value
was in the building at the time.
Only seconds after the first
alarm was turned in, firemen
were directed to the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Vath on Di-
agonal Road where flames were
spreading in a grass fire near a
row of evergreen trees.
OTHER FIRES
Earlier Thursday afternoon
the Wingham firemen quelled a
grass fire at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Clare Niergarth of the
ninth concession of Turnberry
Township. Mr. Niergarth had
been burning garbage and left
the farm. Mrs. Niergarth saw
the fire and attempted to beat
it out but when it approached
hydro lines she turned in the
alarm. There was no damage.
Last Wednesday afternoon,
just before the supper hour, a
portion of the roof at the farm
home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest
Pletch was destroyed. The
house, situated on the fourth
concession of Morris Township,
caught fire when a spark from
the chimney landed on the roof.
Neighbour Clarence Yuill came
to the aid of Mr. Pletch and
along with other neighbours
formed a bucket brigade to
douse the flames before fire-
men arrived.
The fire department receiv-
ed a false alarm on Sunday af-
ternoon when motorists passing
the farm home of Gordon San-
ders on Highway 87, west ofthe
Morrisbank Corners, noticed
smoke billowing from the home,
Firemen found that Mr. Sanders
had been burning out a bird's
nest from the chimney and was
in no need of assistance.

For the Secretary . . .
The Huron-Bruce District
High School. Board approved a
budget for the year on Wednes-
day evening which falls just
short of $1, 000, 000, at $943, -
330.71. The budget covers the
cost of operation and capital re-
turn on both the Wingham and
Lucknow schools.
The amount to be. raised by
local taxes is $225, 174.85 on
an assessment of $19,163,817.
This compares to an assessment
of approximately $13, 000, 000
in the old Wingham High School
District.
The total cost of operation is
broken down as $461, 931.71 for
the non-vocational departments
and $481,399,00 for the voca-
tional departments of the school.
General legislative grants
will be $159, 225.00 for the
Lucknow operation and $523, -
403.00 for the Wingham school.
The remaining difference of
$35, .00 between grants and
the local levy is made up of
receipts from tuition fees, night
school, a book fund, cafeteria,
rents, cadet grant, and miscel-
laneous items.
The breakdown of expendi-

tures showed $38,709.00 for ad-
ministration which includes of-
ficers salaries, telephone and
general expenses; $75,690.00
for plant operation and main-
tenance which includes salaries,
fuel and electricity and repairs;
instruction which includes
teachers' salaries and secretar-
ies' salaries, $521,965.00;
teaching supplies, $49,933.00;
night school, $5,056.00; servi-
ces, (cafeteria, cadets, auxil-
iary) $16,100.00; transporta-
tion, $133,480; capital expen-
ditures, $4,200.00; miscellan-
eous $4, 021; debentures, princi-
pal $61, 466.52 and interest,
$32,710,19.
The $225,174 which has to
be raised by the 14 contributing
municipalities is apportioned
on the basis of the provincial
equalized assessment factor as
follows: Ashfield 7.70%; Brus-
sels 4.52%, Culross 7.51%; East
Wawanosh 6.13%; Greenock.
.99%; Grey 2.12%; How ick
10.93%; Kinloss 7.43%; Luck-
now 6.06%; Morris 9.98%; Tees-
water 4.69%; Turnberry 9.11%;
West Wawanosh 4.01%; Wing-
ham 18,82%,
Using the county equalized
assessment figure of $19,163, -
817 it will require a mill rate
across the district of 11.75
mills. However, this rate will
not likely appear on too many
tax bills as it is broken down be-
tween residential and commer-
cial rates at the municipal lev-
el. The 11.75 mills is an in-
crease of 2.75 mills over the
rate used in the Wingham dist-
rict last year.
A surplus of $43, 000 in the
Wingham area will reduce the
actual amount to be levied
while a small deficit in the
Lucknow area at the end of the
year will increase the actual
sum of money raised by each
municipality by a small amount.
The budget does not allow for
any capital repayment on the
new wing which will be added
during the next year.
