SS board gives no to
arIy primary ed report
The Huron -Perth County Roman
Catholic Separate School Board voted
to accept its ad hoc committee's
report and responses to the Early
Primary Education project sent out
from the Ministry of Education
earlier this spring, at a meeting of the
board in lin Monday night.
The board appointed the ad hoc
committee to study and respond to the
project which they did and reported
back to the board at a meeting two
weeks ago. It was decided not to yote
on it then but left to this meeting when
it was approved in a vote of eight to
three. The next step is to send the
committee's responses to the
Ministry of Education.
Tbe committee members attending
the board meeting were: Connie Bir-
mingham, Exeter, coordinator of
special education; Edith McCarroll,
Stratford, librarian; Margaret
Medve, Exeter, principal; Margaret
Rowland, Dublin, teacher; Arthur
Haid, RR 4 Listowel, trustee; and
John McCauley, Superintendent of
Education. Also attending was
Marion Hockton, an exchange
teacher from England, now principal
at St. Mary's School in Goderich un-
til the end of June.
Mrs. Hockton addressed the board,
speaking of her experience in
England as an early primary teacher.
She spoke of the many advantages of
a nursery school and of children star-
ting school in the year a child is five
years old.
She said the Englieb school systan
is based on teaching the three R's and
she explained how children learn
through their coastructiWe play and
even music in these early classes. She
said three half days a week is the
ideal and long enough for the four
year old child.
She stressed the need for children
to mix with their peers as they
develop.
Ms. Medve said it was important
thatparents have a choice should they
decide on early education and said
"our concern should be the needs of
all the children in the province."
She spoke of the changing needs of
the community and of the importance
of home, school and church working
together.
Trustee Ronald Murray of Dublin
expressed his concern that if a junior
kindergarten was to be implemented
and the funding for it not forthcoming
from the Ministry of Education and
the money was not there — then that
is the problem.
Board chairman Ronald Marcy
said the ad hoc committee only sup-
ported the junior kindergarten on the
basis that there would be funding to
cover the expenditure of starting up
the program and of carrying it on.
In other business the board ac-
cepted the tender of Exeter Roofing
and Sheet Metal Comapny Ltd. for
putting a new roof on St. Patrick's
School in Dublin for $69,800, the lgwest
of four tenders.

tighter supervision
The township of Tuckersmith has
established a policy that all residents
in the built-up areas must apply for
permission to the municipality to fill
in the ditches in front of their
residences in urban areas. The work
must be done under the supervision
of the township or road superinten-
dent with all the material installed
and the final grades of the work
meeting s approval.
At the fi a hour and a half hour ses-
sion, Tuesday, another step was taken
by council to inform the ministry of
the environment it intends to under-
take the construction of the expansion
of the Egmondville water works
system to the south side of the
Bayfield River this summer at an
estimated gross cost of $110,000.
Council authorized Richard Ander-
son of B.M. Ross and Associates of
Goderich to proceed with the final
drawings and apply for approval as
quickly as possible for this water ex-
pansion program, after he presented
the preliminary drawings of the work
at the meeting Tuesday.
Huron County Planner Wayne
Caldwell; Warden Leona Armstrong
and John Dougherty, a member of the
Huron Cotmty farming committee, at-
tended before council to hear the
discussion on proposed amendment
No. 104 to the official plan for the
County of Huron. The purpose of the
proposed amendment is to include
policies in the secondary plan of the
municipality in order to enable it to
use site plan control in the future.
Court of Revision was held on the
Charters drainage works with one
owner, Nico Peters, of east part of lot
31, concession 7, Huron Road Survey,
who has appealed his assessment on
the drain. Peters outlined his objec-
tion because in his view he received
no benefit from the installation of the
underground B branch tile. His ap-
peal was denied and the engineer's
assessment schedule was endorsed.
Council opened the tenders on the
Charters drain, both for the open
work with seven received and the
closed work with eight received. For
the open work council accepted the
tender of Hanna & Hamilton Con-
struction Company Ltd. at a tender
price of $7,352,- erosion control of
$1,894.50 and the side road crossing of
$1,928. For the closed work the tender
of Parker & Parker was approved for
$20,050.20 plus road crossing of $850
plus $12 per private tile connection.

Hodgins & Hayter Construction.Ltd.
for the reconstruction of Quebec
Street at a tender price of $94,148.28,

of Transportation and Communica-
tions and the Ministry of the
Environment.
