Led board astray says trustee Board of education trustee, Frank Falconer believes the board is being led astray by the press in consenting to change the monthly meeting to a Thurs- day from Monday. Subsequent to a meeting wifh editors of the county's weekly newspapers in March, the board endorsed a motion changing the monthly meeting to the first Thursday of the month from the traditional Monday meetings. The press submitted that coverage of Monday meetings was surface repor- ting due to time limitations and deadlines. The meeting day virtually ruled out the possibility of exploring background information and left little time to seek opinions from educators on board decisions. The press intimated that more in-depth reporting would assist both the public and the board. Falconer opposed the mo- tion claiming the board was being led stray by the press. Vice-chairman Bert Morin argued that a change would facilitate a more complete reporting job and chairman Donald MacDonald said it would help the board to maintain a high profile with the ratepayers. Trustee Joan Van Den Broeck reiterated those statements claiming it would be good for the board if the press was given more time to research stories and ex- plain the rationale behind board decisions and policy. Falconer replied that the reasoning was "nonsense" adding "if they had a week to print the Lord's Prayer they would still make a mis- take." Director of Education John Cochrane said the day change would not interfere withthe administration process and said it would ac- tually give them more time for preparation of reports. Beginning in May the board meets on the first Thursday of the month.

Members of Parliament meeting are Allan Campbell, Huron MP Murray Cardiff and Federation past president Merle Gunby. T -A photo Could face charges for school trespassing If you and your children wander over to the school grounds for a game of catch, football or just a bit of fun a charge of trespassing can be laid. Well, technically anyway. The Huron Board of Education will now enforce the Trespass to Property Act and has authorized all board employees to act as en- forcers of the act. Under the new policy, teachers, janitors and secretaries canlegally lay a trespassing charge. Several trustees attacked the policy insisting it would take school property away from the public and deter its use. But education committee chairman, Bert Morin, explained the policy was not designed to deter use of school property but rather was to giveboard employees the power to lay charges against the few who abused privileges. "We don't want people to stop using school ground," Morin said. "But there are a few who have abused the privilege and so we need legislation." Anyone wishing to use school property for liesure activity actually requires the permission of that school's principal. Trustee Jean Adams asked board mem- bers "why are playgrounds so sacred?" Trustee Frank Falconer indicated the policy was to prevent damage and van- dalism at the schools. "This is for the drop outs who come during school hours and people who do damage," he offered. Trustee Joan Van Den Broeck argued that such policy would take com- munity schools from the public and she suggested that some employees could abuse the power to lay trespass charges. The Trespass Act has been May start drug abuse prevention The education committee auspices of the local board of the Huron County Board of of education. The seminar Education will examine the leads to the implementation of the program and Chief King intimated that the cost was reasonable. Chief King said he would be interested in meeting with the board to discuss the implementation of a drum abuse prevention program. The education committee will review the matter and report back to the board. Trustee Frank Falconer agreed with King's assessment of the drug problem. "I have heard a lot of rumors and I hope they aren't half as bad as the cerns Inc. present seminar problem," he said. "It is a for school teachers under the feasibility of initiating a drug abuse prevention program in county schools. The matter was referred following a letter from Goderich Police Chief Pat King who said a drug prevention program was available from Alcohol and Drug Concerns Inc. of Toronto. King said drug abuse was a problem in schools and that the drug abuse committee of the Ontario Association of chiefs of Police had examined the program offered by the non- profit group.

Director of Education John Cpchrane said playgrounds are the target of abuse for young people in cars. "Cars' coming on to the playgrounds has been a problem and if no trespass signs are posted we can't lay charges," he said. "We had to call police to Colborne School recently because of that." Studies done by the Department of National Health and Welfare indicate that the abuse of alcohol is costing Canadians more than S1,100 million a year. This breaks down to an esti- mated S500 million for al- cohol-related :motor acci- dents; S250 million for time lost at work and S350 mil- lion in hospital care. Life- style is a matter of choice - make yours a wise one! Ontario farmers will be faced with spraying in metric quantities this year. Stocks of imperial size products will be sold out this spring and replaced with metric equivalents. Most liquid products will be available in metric with the 10 litre (1) jug being one of the most popular sizes. Many companies are in- troducing the 20 L pail and some are selling 200 L drums. To help make the con- version to metric sizes easier, John Scott, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and No mishaps this week Area drivers have record- ed one of their infrequent accident -free weeks. The Exeter OPP reported Mon- day morning that their last investigation of a collision was on March 27. No criminal activities were reported during the past week either. Sgt. Ray Glover said that as a result of concern ex- pressed by the Ausable River Nomads, a local cam- ping group, his detachment will be checking motor vehicles equipped with large mirrors protruding from their sides. The Highway Traffic Act stipulates that no person shall operate a vehicle, other than a commercial motor vehicle. which has at- tached thereto any mirror or mirrors which extend more than 305 millimetres from the side of the vehicle, ex- cept when the motor vehicle is towing another vehicle. The Nomads, members of the National Campers and Hikers Association, note that large mirrors are a danger to pedestrians as they could be injured if struck by a protruding mirror left on a vehicle after the trailer has been detach- ed. Sgt. Glover said the detachement officers have always been observant for infractions of this type in the past. but would check somewhat closer than usual in the future in view of the concern expressed by the area camping group. Food associate agricultural representative, Wellington County, suggests these tips. To get a feeling for metric distance, pace off the distance between your house and barn. If you are of average height, your pace is one metre (1 yd plus 3 in.). In the corner of one field, walk 100 steps along one fence and mark the spot with a stake. Walk down the other side 100 steps and place another stake. When squared off, this area is one hectar (ha.). If you don't want to walk the farm, multiply the number of acres by 0.4 to determine the number of hectares. For reference, draw a map of your farm, mark in the fields and under the number of acres, add the number of hectares. Old sprayers need recalibration. Many new sprayers have level indictor tubes showing both gallons and litres. If your sprayer does not have a metric in- dicator, use an old "Lasso" pail (20 L when full) and fill the tank pail by pail, marking levels with a per- manent marker. If the tank reads in gallons, add the corresponding number of litres. To convert imperial gallons to litres multiply by 4.55. To convert U.S. gallons to litres multiply by 3.79. Field sizes seldom correspond exactly to pesticide packages. A 5 L or 10 L plastic jug, marked off in litres or half litres makes a handy tool for measuring liquids. Wettable powders can be measured out as a portion of the product bag. When you are ready to go out to the field, count off 50 paces (50 m). Using the calibration bottle, check the output in metric by driving this distance at normal speed. Two hundred millilitres in the bottle equals 80 L ha of spray. Read the labels on pesticide packages. Some labels have conversions printed on them; others may give metric only. To convert application rates multiply gallons per acre by 11.2 to determine litres per hectar. To convert pounds per square inch of old pressure gauges to the metric equivalent, multiply psi by 6.89 to determine kilopascals (kPa). "Application rates have been a problem in the past," says Mr. Scott. "Weeds have been missed and crops have been injured. This year spray operators must be on their toes to get the correct rate. With some pre- planning and extra care, we could have a year of fewer spray problems." Nature does her best: The more we overeat, the harder she makes it for us to sit close to the table. It is better to have one person working with you than two working for you. Parents who are afraid to put their foot down usually have children who step on toes. • FARM TALK — Hugh Rundle of Usborne township chats with Huron F of A president Gerry Fortune and Brenda McIntosh of Tuckersmith at Saturday's Members of Parliament meeting in Clinton T -A photo SPRING INTO SUMMER WITH r�D LFi?X ✓L�'T No -6330 AM/FM Cassette A-54-8 AM/FM 8 Track - Push Button - Fader LO DX Selector Reg. $199.95 Only - Fast forward Auto Stop - LO; DX Selector Reg. $159.95 Now I 9O9 95 No Actually As Shown 149 95 Model 6853 7 Band Equalizer Booster A- 17 Auto Reverse Cassette Say it with diamonds Back row L to R Solitaire Diamond 51,095.
