If the recommendation is passed, this would mean that the Walton Public School children would be bused to Seaforth Public School and that the Grade 8 classes from IDthe Seaforth school would be transferred to Seaforth District High School. According to the committee the closure and the change will help the board to save money.

The Exeter Town council is not planning to make any rash decisions on the proposed police com- munications system for the county. The Exeter Times - Advocate -reported that the council passed a motion that they take no further action on the proposed police com- munication for the county until certain points are clarified. The recommendation, to go slowly, was made after council learned that that capital cost of the new communication system to be hooked up in the five county towns may. be much higher than previously outlined. Mayor - Bruce Shaw also explained that there was some question about the desirability of the system's centrai location being in Goderich. The Kincardine News reported that the Kincardine Township Council may be setting up their own fire department since they aren't satisfied with the town council's fire agreement. Carl Bailey, RR 5, Kin- cardine pointed out to the township council that they will pay $22,000 this year for the fire agreement with the town. "Are we going to let Kin- cardine take all our money and do nothing for us or are we going to buy a fire truck," he said. He added that if the township council pays $22,000 this year and maybe $30,000 next year they could have a truck paid for. Bailey also explained to the council that he has spoken to other residents about the idea and they support his proposal. Council decided to pass a motion to ask the Fire Marshall of Ontario to do a confidential financial study n the fire needs in the ownship. Presently the township pays $22,000 to Kincardine for the first 10 fires and $900 for each fire after that. The township also pays the Tiverton Fire Department $7,000 for protection of the north half of the area. The St. Marys Journal - Argus reported that the St. Marys Police Association is not happy With an answer they received from the town's police committee regarding the double promotion of a constable. The Association had filed - grievance with the polic Through the other weeklies committee after Chief Edward Matherson refused to repeal the double promotion of a constable from probationary status to second-class constable, therefore skipping the rank of third-class constable. The committee agrees with the chief's decision and the Association feel that a double probation is highly irregular, however feel that it is deserved if the constable has performed outstanding service. The Association feels that Chief Matherson and the committee are showing favoritism by supporting the double promotion. The Association also noted that the promotion would result in a pay increase to the constable of $2,300 and the other members of the St. Marys Police Department will not be receiving such a pay raise. This too, they felt, might cause some disagreement and hurt the morale amongst the force. The Association hopes to receive a satisfactory answer from the council, but they explained that they are quite prepared to go to court if necessary. This move is allowed in the Police Act. Although most of the Board of Education members and CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1978—.PAIGE 19 the principals in the county high • schools are keeping quiet, Joe Wooden Vile principal at South Huron District High School in Exeter told the Zurich Citizens' News that the March exams that were scheduled to begin on March 8 will be cancelled.

The Wingham Advance Times reported that con- servation officers at the ministry of natural resources is asking everyone owning dogs to keep them tied up and prevent the killing of deer in the area. The owner of a dog found running at large during the closed season for deer can be charged under the Game and Fish Act and the dog can be shot if they are found chasing deer. The ministry noted that attempts to control the wanton killing is difficult because many dog owner refuse to believe that their pets would chase deer and there are others who can't be bothered ' to keep their pets tied. Most of the deer that have been killed so far are yearlings that have been weakened by the winter or does with fawn.
