(News -Record photo) This week at the Legion Festive activities keep things busy BY RENE BROCHU Before we let go of 1977, we should really recap the happenings 'since our last article. It was indeed fitting that the last function to take place in the auditorium before Christmas was the Christmas program put ,on by St. Joseph's Separate School. The auditorium was filled to capacity with standing room only as the children went through the plays and songs so well prepared and ef- ficiently executed. I'm sure that all who attended enjoyed the program. Our thanks to the school ' principal and teachers tor choosing our location for their Christmas program and to the children for performing so well. The New Year's Eve party went over with a "Bang", as we said goodbye to 1977 and hellto 1978. Our thanks to entertainment chairman Comrade Harvey Hayter and his enthusiastic committee for such an enjoyable evening. The door prize, which consisted of some New Year's goodies was won by Comrade Don Symons. The draw prize, which was donated by Comrade John Anstett of Anstett Jewellers was won by Comrade George Rumball. Countieshomes..... • from page 2 - Jenkins said. A total of 16,000 rural properties have been inspected since the program started in October. The remaining 34,000 urban properties will probably be inspected by April: Huron and Perth counties are doing well economically, he said. They show steady gains in both assessment and population.

It will bring assessment figures up to date and will help "the assessment offices prepare for the new provincial property tax system based on the market value of properties, expected in 1979 or 1980. Only improvements of more than $2,500 will affect the assessment value of the property, Mr. Jenkins said. Additions of family rooms, fireplaces and major renovations of homes account for most ofthe im- provements. Energy-saving devices such as solar heating systems will not increase assessment, he noted. Mr. Jenkins said'there are significant assessment changes on many farms. New buildings increase assessment, as does im- provement of farm land it- self. The draining increases assessment, he said. Mr. Jenkins said' a'11 assessment commission officers carry„ identification cards, and alae willing to prove their ' identity .before inspecting a property.' There are no penalties for improvements which took place since the last in- spection, ° even though im- provements may not have been reported. • WeekEnd Entertainment Fri. & Sdt.;Jan. 6 & 7 "The Cavaliers" * Dinner Reservations accepted 'till 8:30 p.m. * No Cover Charge for this Great Entertainment, come in and dine in our relaxing atmosphere. * Sorry we cannot accept reservations for tainrrnt, first come, first served' basis, TREIT.

Mess New Year's dinners". The kitchen staff were not satisfied with the success of the excellent New Year's dinner, but again came up with 'a delicious lunch for the Levee which was held the next day. Our congratulations to our Clinton 'Legion Pipe Band, who were part of the Mass Pipe Band participating in the Rose Bowl parade. As the band went by, we were able to pick out a few familiar faces,' but, we heard the, pipes long before they came into view on the screen. Doesn't that bring back memories of old! May each and every one of our members and their families enjoy a Happy and Prosperous New Year filled with God's blessing's and let us hope ° and pray that all members will be present at this time next year. David Crowley Gadshiil man heads separate Bd. By Wilma Oke Donald Crowley of RR 2, Gadshill, a 46 -year-old Ellice Township farmer, was ac- claimed chairman of Hurpn- Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board at the inaugural meeting in Dublin Tuesday night, January 3. He succeeds Mickey Vere of Stratford. Mr. Crowley, who was vice chairman in 1977, has been on the board for five years. He represents Ellice, North and South Easthope townships. William Kinahan of RR 2, Lucknow, a 53 -year. -old life underwriter was elected vice- chairman, winning over Ronald Marcy of Stratford. Mr. Crowley, in his inaugural speech, said "This is the tenth year for this Huron -Perth board, I feel we will have to take some decisive actions this year if we are to remain a viable hoard. We, the trustees, will have to make decisions which require integrity, _honesty and charity. We will have to, be concerned, not only for our local areas, but our entire jurisdiction -of Huron and Perth counties. "This spirit of sacrifice will also have to prevail in our schools by our teachers, students, parents and all who work for our system," he said. Rev. H.J. Laragh of St. James' Church, Seaforth, addressed the trustees. Speaking of school principals, he said, "There are few tasks more difficult but a task that few ' would be willing to r!-. 'tlrlfr nrnfnccinnn11", " He s.aid, "We have schools and we need teachers. We expect them to be perfect in spite of our imperfections. They deserve our support. I don't think we should be too hard, too demanding. We could be wrong too." 1 -ie said, "The school does teach the 3R1s, reading,riting and 'rithmatic but for our schools the most important subject is religion. Our priests desire to increase God's love in the children. The board, the teachers desire this. Training in Christianity is what our job is. This is where the priest comes in, this is what we can do, no one else can do it -- Getting the children to come on their own is training in �. Christianity, ." Father Laragh took the opportunity to list the shor- tcomings at St. James School where there is no library, no music room, no room for French lessons so that half the school is disrupted when lessons being taught. "Our gym is a cla;,sroom for religion until early in the afternoon. We need four more rooms," he stated. "It isn't fair to the teachers, the principal or the students we are trying to help. Sometimes economy is not the best solution. 'I just want you to know our needs at St. James' and this board's responsibility," he con- cluded. In other business, the nominating committee will consist of the chairman, vice- chairman and past chairman, Mickey Vere. A borrowing by-law for $2 million was approved to meet the current expenditures of the board until the current revenue has been received.
