SS trustees declare intentions
Could get $1.0,000 grant for 'community school'
The Huron -Perth County
Roman Catholic Separate
School board approved an
application Monday from the
principal of St. Joseph's
school in Kingsbridge to
have his school named a
community school. The
board will now forward the
application from David
Zyluk to the ministry of
education to apply for the
maximum community
Service station -
given approval
Exeter's committee of
adjustment and council have
given their approvals for a
new service station to be
erected at the intersection
of Highway 83 and Carling
St.
The new faAility is being
planned by Delton Walper,
and one of the stipulations
from the committee of ad-
justment was that council
had to approve the service
station because it is con-
sidered as a "dangerous
trade".
Clerk Liz Bell told council
that permission would also
have to be granted by the
ministry of the environ-
ment.
Council also approved an
expenditure of $186.50 to
replacepeome of the Christ-
mas decorations strung up
each year by the PUC.
Harold Patterson was the
tone dissenter.

school grant of $10,000 an-
nually .for up to two years.
Subsequent financial
support must then be
provided by the'board. The
board will assist the
program by supplying heat,
hydro and the use of other
school resources. The $10,000
grant will be used mainly for
paying the salary of a co-
ordinator to run the
program..
At the present time
community groups are using
St. Joseph's School —
Catholic youth organization
from Kingsbridge; Girl
Guides; various sports
groups — ladies volleyball
team, Kintail girls' softball
team, snowmobile club,
men's volleyball and floor
hockey teams; St. Joseph's
PTA and various other
groups. By- utilizing
existing facilities after
school hours fesidents may
obtain recrieational and
education programs. •
Zyluk, who attended the
board meeting said,
"Basically as _ I feel the
taxpayers are paying for the
school, it should be kept open
for as Many hours as
possible."..
Zyluk said he has com-
munity volunteers coming
into the school to help
students on a one to one
basis. He said this started
one year ago and now has
increased - from_. -three
volunteers to eight volun-
teers. This is personalizing
education for my --students,
he said.
There is still time this fall to
remember a loved one by or-
dering a Memorial or -inscription

Gordon Nichol and Harry
IG�ng, both past presidents of
1iwanis Clubs in Stratford,
p ented the board with a
beautifully framed plaque,
"I am proud to be a
Canadian".
King said the framed
plaques were being
distributed to all schools in

Kiwanis club is twinned with
another .Kiwanis club in

friendship across Canada. In
Stratford .the members
wanted to extend this
program outside the club
and decided on the plaques.

that two pumps now there
are not always sufficient
"There's more water go-
ing in that the engineer ever

Kells said it was expected
that some old drains would
have been found when the
smoke tests were con-
