T -A photo Exeter firm receives project for boat firm M -F Builders of Exeter has been awarded the contract to expand the Bayfield Boat Yard, vice president Bob Spears said in Clinton yesterday. Spears announced that the Bayfield Boat Yard would be expanding by 13,000 square feet. This is the second phase of their expansion program The new modern building will be used to assemble the various models of the Bayfield yachts, including the Bayfield 25, 29, 32 and the new Bayfield 40. Spears reported that the Bayfield 40 is now being tooled at their facility in Bayfield. "It will be ready for production in January 1982 in answer to strong dealer demand for a larger Bayfield cruising auxiliary," he said. The addition to the Bayfield plant will increase local employment from 55 to 75 people, Spears added. Capital spending this year will be in the $400,000 range. The production division of Bayfield Boat Yard is located at Vanastra Park near Clinton, while the custom division is at Bayfield. Fo5t City Fiip1aceg & Saunas (DIVISION OF 423526 ONT. LTD.)

Chairman Jerry MacLean said there was no back-up staff. Administrator Don Gravett said rec centre employee Alvin Willert had accumulated about seven weeks holidays this year. The centre needs staff when Willert is away, and if anything should happen to Willert, there is currently no back-up. Board members agreed, but Bill Mickle questioned how the new employee could be worked into the budget. MacLean said a full-time staff person was required and part-time staff hours could be cut back to offset the costs and keep within the budget. He also said there was no one on the staff now who could be trained to take over when Willert was not working. The administrator will look into a job description and the planning for hiring a new worker. The board continued its discussion of the uses of volunteers to supervise rec centre events. The facilities committee recommended the centre provide staff to supervise the weightlifters club one night a week. The other nights the club requested could be held in conjunction with roller skating. Carolyn Merner question- ed the difference between a volunteer locking the centre after a reception and a volunteer locking up after the weightlifter's club. Bruce Shaw questioned the difference between trusting part-time staff with keys and trusting volunteers. The board voted to let Casey Cook from the club use a key for the evenings the weighlifters require. The board advised Gravett to talk to Cook about the use and responsibilities of the key. The key must be picked up tn- the afternoon before' and dropped off the morning following the weight room use. Mickle, reporting for the finance committee, said it appeared the budgeted revenue for hall rentals would be falling short. Janet Wedlake said April was a good month for hall rentals, but January and February were slow. Mickle requested last year's reports to see if there was a peak period of hall use. He also suggested a letter be sent to town council ex- plaining the rentals fees. A council member had claim- ed the rec centre charged $300 for rental, and thought the centre may be over- pricing itself. Gravett said he thought the rates were in line with other similar halls and said the basic rate was not $300. MacLean said like many things you could buy a basic unit, or in the case of the rec centre,.bar rentals and other services would add to the cost. The administrator will ad- vise council of the centre's pricing policy. The board advised Gravett to recommend policy to determine fees for swim- ming and tennis. Shaw said the rates and times of instruction, for swimming especially, need revision, but he hoped the rates coui(I be kept as close as possible to last year's costs. Gravett also recommend- ed a small fee for the super- vised playground. Hesaidthe playground could be a good learning experience for the children. He also suggested ap- proaching an area service club to donate time and money to run the playground. MacLean reported that member Don Cameron of the board's grounds development com- mittee said a second ball diamond at the centre could be used this year. Cameron wants to do the job right, MacLean said, and requested that no, work, such as fences, be done on the field this year. It is planned to let the field settle, before it is filled, levelled and seeded this fall. In other business: The facilities committee has ordered 100 new chairs for the hall. The board will put up signs in the centre asking for volunteers and stating no confetti is to be taken into the hall. MacLean suggested a sign be put up advising patrons to come 15 minutes earl to read all the other signs, Usborne township planks to raise its subsidy to then rec centre to $9.000. The bqard moved to send a letter thanking them for the 50 per cent increase. The finance committee will investigate a renewal program for roller skates. Gravett suggested 30 to 40 pairs of skates be purchased, as users get discouraged if there aren't enough skates available. MacLean said people will make more use of the facili- ty if good quality skates are available for use.

Sheeler said that eventual- ly, he would like to see the entire community carry the plastic cards in case of emergency. Information about diseases and allergies would be printed on the Cards, to aid doctors in crisis situations. In keeping with his move towards having the entire community involved with the hospital, Sheeler said that he has met with the Ex- eter ministerial association, and a steering committee has been set up to provide the hospital with a chaplain.

He said that the hospital hopes to have a minister available so that patients will have someone to call on, if they feel the need to talk. It is also hoped that the ministerial association will set up services for patients in the hospital's quiet room or chapel. Sheeler said that perhaps the services would be nondenominational, or else have two services, one Roman Catholic and one Protestant. He said he hoped the serviceswould be at least once a month, or more often if possible. Sheeler reported that the out-patient facilities are very popular. The orthopedic specialist who visits the . hosptial once every two weeks is very busy with referrals from doctors, and a nutritionist who gives dietary counsell- ing at the hospital is also very busy. The nutritionist offers ad- vice to such people as diabetics and coronary patients. Sheeler said that he is presently redesiging the hospital's annual report, to mate the document more readable for the general public. The annual meeting SS board Continued from front page city clerk, Ronald Schulties. The equipment will be paid for by a $1,000 donation from the parent group at the school and a provincial grant from community services contribution program of $2.640. The board approved playground equipment costing over $3,000 being installed at St. Cofumban school by the Parent- Teacher Association (PTA). John McCauley, Superintendent of Education, filling in for William Eckert, Director of Education who was absent attending a seminar for directors of education, discussed with board members the Discussion Paper on Secondary Education Review Project put out by the ministry of education. He spoke of several ways it affected separate elementary schools such as those in Huron and Perth. Ronald Marcy pointed out that one of the ways that might affect the schools was the ministry recom- mendation calling for the sharing of schools by the public school boards and the separate school boards, and in particular the sharing of technical facilities expensive to duplicate. Mr. McCauley reported that the Huron - Perth administrative staff and board had submitted a suggestion that is being considered of extending the two-year occupational course in secondary school to a four-year course to make it more useful to the student attending.
