Exeter area fchools • were hardest hit ac- cording to reports given. the board by principals. Varidals..at Exeter Public School slashed 100 win- dow screens, bent . and slashed five other screens and smashed two storm windows and the window of the principal's office. South Huron District High School did not escape vandalism. During January and February the school was 'hit with over half adozen , incidents- of wilful damage costing an estimated $1,300. The damages range from broken windows . and damaged equipment . to plugged • urinals- in • a washroom after someone poured' quick; drying cement intd the fixture plugging the pipes. Bob McVean,plant superintendant for the county schools, said Tuesday the theoryof quick drying cement was only a guess pointing out that . something is in the plumbing .that won't budge. McVean said some type ofmaterial has got three of four urinals in one washroom at the school plugged solid and not even power augers can break up whatever it is. He said attempts are being made to fres the. drains using pneumatic hammers and if that fails there will be no recourse but to break . upthe washroom floor and remove the pipts. He said the floor of the washroom was terrazo_ and was very costly. He added that the washroom is in the old portion of the building and the blueprints available on the structure arerather vague. He said he only hasdrawings -of the. building and not exact blueprints, which show how it was built. "We don't know the depth of the' pipes or how far we have to dig ,to find the traps," he said. "We may get lucky and fix the plug for less than the $1,000 or Tuve may1 nve to go deeper than 'we think and it could cost ' more than that. There's a lot unforseen. ". 13oard •chairinanJohn Elliott told trustees that. most of the expenses from vandalism were not .covered by insurance. He said the board's'policies. carried $5,Q00 deductible meaning most of the repairs were below the minimum. He said the costs for the board to carry a smaller deduc- tible figure would probably be greater than the damages. • E,iliottsaid it appeared the only way to curb the damages was • to inaugurate sortie sotTof preventitive programs. He.. said the costs. of vandalism were "drastic" and asked that trustees give some thou ht to what can be `don 'to stop the damage. "How someone can get quick drying cement into .a school and dump it into a urinal shows that something is fairly lax someplace," he said. Cochrane pointed out that the vandalism is not necessarily the act of students of the schppl. He said the urinals at, South. Huron .were p`1ugged • sometime during a Q weekend when the school was open:to the public for a winter. carnival. • Head on down and wrangle up a wardrobe!, Belts'and Buekies Welder's.100%'Cotton (Buttoned] JP Polycotton Short, Reg., Tall Heavy Duty 100% Cotton' Summer Wear and Men's Casual Pans hcr.Man's Work.
