There are currently 11 similar high schools in On- tario where, Dr. Vanderkooy said, instruction is taught in a Christian atmosphere with no apologies made. He said public schools are "doing a fine job and there is a real place for them." "We don't expect the public schools to become Christian schools," said Dr. Study service in emergency You've just suffered heart failure! What are the odds of medical emergency service being provided in the four to six minutes required to give you any chance of survival? That's one of the situations that will be considered by a special committee named by Exeter council this week to consider what Mayor Bruce Shaw described as • `the whole process of emergency response in town." Ile said that local residents have voiced concern over the problem of the town not hav- ing a locally based am- bulance service and noted the committee will study this pro- blem as well as try to find ways of ensuring the best emergency health care. "It's a useful, beneficial group to study a serious pro- blem," he noted. Named to the committee were council representative Toni Humphreys: Sgt. Kevin Short and Dee Beuerman, life support instructors; and local citizens Jim Chapman, Bill Batten and Dr. Gary Balsdon. co Vanderkooy, pointing out that some parents want a distinct Christian education for their children. Tentative plans call for starting Grades 9 and 10 in the school when it is completed and for a projected enrolment of 80 to 160 students in five to 10 years. The president of the 180 -member society doesn't see declining enrolment, the problem plaguing public schools, as a problem for the future Christian high school. He noted the other 11 Chris- tian high schools in the pro- vince have had increasing enrolment during their operation. Dr. Vanderkooy said the public schools will hardly notice any enrolment drop from students entering the Christian high school. It is an- ticipatted the majority of the students will come from three elementary Christian schools in Listowel, Lucknow and Clinton. A full range of subjects will be offered, and Dr. Vanderkooy anticipates no problems in developing a cur- riculum which meets Ministry of Education guidelines. The society will elect members from within its group to form a board to run the school which will be privately financed. "It (the board) will be responsible for hiring teachers and setting policies," said Dr. Vanderkooy, adding that the local group will be using the guidance of the other Chris- tian schools in setting up their own. Rec salaries Continued from front page those at the rec centre. When the vote was taken, those favoring the pay hikes in addition to Rose and Josephson were Dorothy Chapman, Lossy Fuller and Morley Hall. The rec board recommend- ed the salary hikes on the basis of a report from its per- sonnel and policy sub com- mittee which had conducted formal performance reviews with the two senior staff members. "It is the opinion of the committee that both our senior staff are performing their duties in a competent, business like manner and. they have displayed initiative, trust and professiofralism" the report stated. It noted that the rec direc- OP tor had implemented many new programs to help ensure the use of the facilities to the maximum potential, while it acknowledged Stewardson for his efforts in maintaining the premises in excellent condi- tion while at the same time reducing man hours necessary by approximately 40 to 50 per week during the past year. "It should be noted that both our senior personnel have worked more than the minimum required hours without extra benefits," it concluded. Monday, Rose said the salary increase recommenda- tion was a bid by the board to deter any problems with the staff and said the mandate of the board was to live within its budget.

Dalrymple had asked the board for direction as to pro- cedures for the establishment of a woodworking shop as there appears to be a conflict with the zoning regulations as to permitted use. Planning board recom- mended that Dalrymple app- ly to the committee of adjust- ment for zoning clarification and also to determine if a custom woodworking shop is a compatible use or a similar use to the permitted uses in the highway commercial zone. Landawn Shopping Centres Ltd.. which was invited to make application for extend- ed uses of the Exeter Shopp- ing Centre. requested that drug store use he added to the list. A general discussion on this matter was held and a re- quest was made to the couu ty planner to submit to the board a written report of the permitted uses in existence at the Wingham Shopping Cen- tre, which is owned by the same development firm. This matter was then defer- red until that report becomes available. • Councillor Bill Rose ques- tioned why. the Landawn re- quest had been deferred to wait for a report from Wingham. He said he didn't see why Exeter couldn't make a decision regardless of what Wingham c:oes. -'Surely we can decide for ourselves... he commented. Planning board chairman Dorothy Chapman responded by saying that "you don't make decisions like that over- night" and board secretary Brian Johnston added that the report was requested for com- parison purposes only because the two shopping cen- tres were owned by the same firm. Ile assured Rose the planning board would make its own decision when the time collies. In his June report to coun- cil this week. building inspec • for Brian Johnston revealed that permits valued at $37•0u)0.36 had been approved. bringing the current year's total to $1.471.724.83. Last year at the end of June the total stood at only $272.972 14 and ended the year at well under the $1 million mark. The 19 permits approved during June were for residen- tial renovations and additions as well as tool sheds and sundecks. To serve north Huron primarily Plan Christian secondary school An inter -denominational high school could soon exist near Wingham. A group c-tlling itself the Wingham and District In- terdenominational Christian High School Society was formed in January 1981 and is currently in the process of purchasing land in East Wawanosh Township for the purpose of constructing a high school. The group's president, Dr. John Vanderkooy of Har- riston, said the whole matter is going before an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing in Goderich on August 2 and no definite plans have been finalized for the school. "We're not building this year," confirmed Dr. Vanderkooy, who added that the initial proposal calls for a six -classroom school with space available for a prin- cipal's office and library. East Wawanosh Township clerk Winona Thompson said the proposal is going to an OMB hearing because the township council refused the zoning change to institutional. The seven -acre parcel of land is currently owned by Lloyd Hutton Real Estate Limited of Kincardine and is known as Hutton Heights. Mrs. Thompson said the township approved a severance application, but it is subject to the zoning change. - A QUICK BITE — Kathy Merner and Jake Caers gobble up watermelon during an eating contest at the Zurich fair.
