tary system.
Elliott's main argument for halting
the services was the travel time out-
side of the school when students are
moving from one school to another for
these classes.
"There's too much time spent out-
side of the school. Couldn't we design
a program (within the home school)
that would be as beneficial to them
without wasting time on the bus? Has
anybody looked at this?" said Elliott.
In response, education director
Robert Allan said the students are

bused at times which would not con-
flict with their regular classes such as
before the start of school or during the
noon hour.
Tony McQuail, trustee for West
Wawanosh and Ashfield Townships,
in an amendment to the original mo-
tion stated if the board is not prepared
to extend the programs throughout
the county, the industrial arts and
family studies programs should be
abolished.
"I'm not sure I'm in total sympathy
with the original motion, but it we're
not going to extend industrial arts and
family studies than we should make
a decision. If we're not going to ex-
tend it, then we should phase it out,"
said M,cQuail.
Both motions, however, were over-
turned by a large. majority in a
recorded vote of the board.
In speaking of the value of the two
programs, , Colborne and Goderich
Township Trustee Joan Van den
Broeck said the instruction is
something the youngsters might not
ordinarily receive without the help of
the schools.
"The programs create new areas of
interest they wouldn't discover on
their own or with their parents. My
feeling is that they are very wor-
thwhile," said Mrs. Van Den Broeck.
"Kids who have a bit of experience
in industrial arts or family studies
continue to take these subjects (in
high school) because they have that
type of background," added Goderich
Trustee Mary Ann Dempsey.
Education Director Bob Allan said
the extra secretarial hours were
necessary in X.he smaller elementary
schools as a number of principals
CONTIIII1
have said there was not always so-
meone in the office to answer phones
and greet visitors.
The board agreed to grant an addi-
tional 10.5 secretarial hours per week
to 10 of the county's smaller elemen-
tary schools. However, an amend-
ment was passed to have the 10.5
hours phased in over a two year
period.
The single most costly item in this
year's budget is teachers' salaries
and benefits. At the elementary level,
it is expected to cost $13.1 million
while at the secondary. level the
estimated cost is $11.9 million.
Transportation is the second big-
gest budget item with an estimated
cost of $2.1 million for elementary
schools and $1.7 million for secondary
schools this year. •
The province of Ontario will pay the
largest share of the budget with $25.1
million while the board revenues
amount to $1.5 million. The county
municipalities share in the budget is
$14.2 million.
Allan said the board was encourag-
ed by the estimated slight decline in
enrolment in the county school
system this year of only 42 students.
In 1985, the enrolment declined in the
county by 136 students.

Huron County council members
have declared Exeter's attempt to
recoup the money spent in an OMB
battle over the Hay agri-industrial
park as closed.
Responding to a letter sent to the•
county requesting written reasons
why Exeter is not.entitled to reim-
bursement of costs, county clerk Bill
Hanly noted that at the March 27 ses-
sion, county council endorsed "that a
letter be forwarded toExeter council
advising them that as far as the coun-
dy is concerned, this matter is
osed."
That prompted Reeve Bill Mickle to
take one parting shot at his county
coherts, saying that it was an unfor-
tunate position they had taken.
Warming up to the subject, he then
termed it an "arrogant stature" for
the county to take and it was "most
regrettable" that they had chosen to
treat a member municipality in such
a way by not answering in writing
some of the concerns passed on to
them in writing by Exeter council.
"I agree 100 percent," commented
Councillor Gaylan Josephson, adding
that it was a "disgrace" that the coun-
ty had opted out of their responsibili-
ty to communicate in writing with
Exeter.
Notwithstanding the county's posi-
tion, the matter may not be closed.
Exeter is currently seeking legal opi-
nion on the feasibility of taking legal
action against the county to get some
of the OMB hearing costs repaid.
