P,, a con- servative member of Parliament for the Egmont Riding since 1965: Thoughts and questions mentioned were political opportunities are where we live, are we responding to our relation to the poor amongst us, and their key social issues?, are we aware of changing immigration laws, unemployment in- surance, ownership and utilization of natural resources, and the great gap between the rich and the poor, and have we analyzed the ways in 'which injustice continues to be per- petuated in our community. The fundamental job of Christians is to discover where Christ is suffering with man and to join him there. This was followed by an open discussion.

Ivey Foundation that a gift of $15,000 is being made to the Huron Country Playhouse Building Fund. News of the gift was received from Peter Ivey, a spokesman for the Foundation. The first phase of the new theatre building, already under construction, is expected to be . ready for the June 25th opening. The total cost of the building, designed by Lett - Smith of Toronto, is $125,000. Mr. Tuckey stated, "The Playhouse is extremely grateful to the Charles H.

Board allows outside students By Susan White Catholic students who apply to attend one of the Huron -Perth separate school board's 19 schools will be accepted and provided with transportation, even though they may live outside an area organized for the direction of taxes to the system, trustees decided Monday night. The policy was adopted on the recom- mendation of the board's policy and by-law committee, chaired by trustee Howard Shantz of Stratford. Goderich trustee Vince Young com- mented that the policy was rather broad. "We would possibly have to travel 15 miles in one direction to pick up one student." Business administrator Jack Lane, agreed that this was possible in some areas of the two counties but he suggested that each case could be . judged on its own merits. He said a brochure that the board mean we would go along with a blank cheque." Hill continued "I think the ministry is • making sincere attempts to update legislation. There may be just cause for delay. Chairman Wilfred Shortreed commented, `,Legislation is coming down some Tuesday. Its been coming for three oriour years." The board decided Monday to set up an ad hoc committee to investigate the im- plications of the proposed power generating stations for Huron. Discussion took place after receiving a brief from the Huron Power Plant Com- mittee's chairman, Adrian Vos. Mrs. Dorothy Wallace was the first to speak saying, "This is a serious matter. We should be taking a stand on it." Chairman Shortreed added, "An influx like Bruce could have a real impact on our educational system." In discussing the size of the committee, Shortreed said, "I think we should have more than three members. I would like to add to get more expertise." . . Supplement Salaries The board agreed to supplement salaries of members of the custodial and secretarial staffs who are covered by collective agreement. These employees will receive an ad- ditional $35 per month for the duration of the contract. Part-time employees will also be covered on a pro -rata basis. In explaining the move, Cayley Hill said, "This is not an amendment to the collec- tive agreement but a board decision to provide salary supplements, in keeping with economic trends of the times." A number of field trips planned by Huron students were approved. They include South Huron and Central Huron secondary Central and Brussels public schools. The SHDHS trip for Senior Outers is to Killarney Provincial park for one week. In asking for approval of this trip, superin- tendent R.B. Allan suggested the effects of this and other longer trips be appraised by the education committee. In ,addition, the board agreed to support the✓ Goderich high school drama club financially if they advance to the Ontario finals at the St. Lawrence Centre in Toronto on May 8, 9 and 10. The Goderich drama presentation of the. 1913 storm on Lake Huron was one of four possible entries in the Toronto festival. The Central Huron three-day trip to Montreal is a reward for 30 prefects for their assistance supervising school dances and functions.

WATCH FOR YOUR HANDBILL IN THE MAIL THIS WEEK „ has distributed to newcomers and real estate offices, listing locations of Catholic schools in the two counties, has encouraged Catholic supporters to check with the board's office about school ac- commodation before buying property. He suggested the board could check out bus routes with the public school board and would not necessarily have to provide special bus or taxi accommodation. A second policy, on trustees possessing keys to schools and the board office was passed with one amendment. An old policy that board members may possess keys to schools in their area was reaffirmed. Two new policies provide that the chairmen of each standing committee can have a key to the board room to facilitate holding committee meetings and that keys to schools may be picked up etre board office or from a" principal by standing committee chairmen were also passed. A log book at the board office will be provided for committee chairmen to sign keys in and out. After-sorne-discussion; •a-third-poliry, on school photos was passed. School prin- cipals will be permitted to select one photographic company to make one visit a year to each school to take the students' photos. Trustee Francis Hicknell of Dublin said he would like to see class photos taken each year. Principal Gary Birmingham 9f _ St. Aloyissius'S`clrido `in Stratford, who was at the meeting as an observer, was queried on his policy on photos. He said he tries to pick the best quality photographer and that the school gets 10 percent of the money from photos sold. "It's a very competitive business". Kippen area trustee Michael Coi olly suggested "We should tender and get a photographer for all the schools in a business like way." Trustee Joe Looby of Dublin suggested that a survey be done for the end of the year on how many pictures and what type were taken at all the board's schools, so that perhaps a new policy could be worked out for next year. Trustees agreed to consider the matter again for next year. The board's metric committee is holding meetings, Director of Education John Vintar reported, but will meet again before a report is ready for the board. Stratford trustee Ron Marcy said he was disappointed to learn that the Perth County board of education was setting up their own metric committee • and ignoring a suggestion that they get together with the separate board, which had offered to co- operate with the Perth Board and to in- clude their representative on the com- mittee that is already set up. "These committees cost money, and as separate school supporters of the public system, we should object to the duplication", Mr. Marey said. Trustee Howard Shantz agreed to inform the separate school representative on the Perth board of Mr. Marcy's feelings. None of the board's standing committees made any report, although Mickey Vere of the building and property committee said a tour of all the board's schools with plant superintendent Ed Rowland was being set up for new members of the board. The 1975 ministry of education grant regulations should be available at a con- ference in Waterloo on April 21, Mr. Vintar reported. Mr. Marcy, chairman of the finance committee, Mr. Vintar and business administrator Jack Lane will attend-the-meet-ing: ~ -. -. _. In a committee of the whole, in camera, session after the regular board meeting, a decision was made to have a special 4board meeting on Wednesday, April 24 to set the mill rate for 1975, after the ministry guidelines have been received.
