He is now employed with Ontario Hydro office in Clinton. + ++ May 1st this year was a collective birthday for the Candystripers of Clinton Public Hospital. At present there are 34 on strength but with the close of the school year this number is expected to drop as the graduate students move off into other fields. To counter this, Mrs. Barb Hicks co-ordinator of the Candystripers, is looking for replacements. For the first time applications from 14 -year-olds will be con- sidered. Being one of this group is both a rewarding and educational experience. And for Barb, who attended the conference at Guelph recently, it was gratifying to find that her Candystripers ranked right up at the top in comparison to other hospitals. Congratulations to Barb and her girls. Those interested in joining may apply at the guidance office of the high school. More information may be obtained from calling Mrs. Hicks at 482-9572. + ++ • DON'T FORGET this weekend is Girl Guide Cookie time.

The tour, con- ducted by two members of the Centre, was enjoyed by all and gave a real insight into the work being done there. After the tour 16 members returned to the home of Laura Forbes where roll call was answered by telling the most impressionable thing seen at the Centre. Thank-yous were received from Barry Gibbings and the Red Cross, and plans were finalized for the forthcoming dessert euchre April 26. Donations of $25 each will go to the Bluewater Centre, The Children's Aid Society and Bunny Bundle. Next meeting, with a plant exchange, will be at the home of Barbara Lovett on May 10.

The draw was won by Mrs. Ernie Brown. Boys paddle to help others Rick. Kloss and Tony Gibbings, both 14 years old along with their coach Dick Kloss, R.R. 1 Brucefield have been canoeing to help others this spring. On Sunday, April 30 the pair or local boys entered the annual Bunny Bundle Canoe race to help raise money for crippled children. The boys canoed Fanshawe Lake in London in one hour, 10 minutes and 49 seconds and finished second out of a class of 15 entries. As well, the boys entered the Optimist canoe race in Seaforth and despite the fact that they upset their craft in the rough waters of the Bayfield River the team went on to enter `the junior class at the Clinton Kinsmen race for cystic fibrosis and came in second in a class of three. Although the boys and their coach would like to thank the people who helped them, especially when they were dunked into the chilly waters of the Bayfield River, the trio themselves should be thanked by the community for their time and efforts towards such worthwhile causes. Lorne and 011ie Jervis mark 60th anniversary Tution rebate denied BY JEFF SEDDON An alert taxpayer who asked the Huron County Board of Education to pay tuition fees he owed for sending his daughter to another county system during the recent high school teacher strike was told no way by the Huron board Monday. Kenneth Taylor of R.R. 3 Lucknow asked the board in a letter to pick up the tab for his daughter to attend Grade 12 classes at the College Avenue Secondary School in Wood- stock. Taylor's daughter Brenda, a Grade 12 student at F.E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham, transferred to the Oxford County school during the 31 day teacher strike to avoid jeopardizing her school year and future education. Taylor said he had two daughters in the Huron system, Brenda in Grade 12 and Theresa in Grade 9. He said the eldest girl was majoring in fine arts and had applications in at the Ontario College of Art and other colleges for the 1978-79 school year. Taylor said that he and his daughters were concerned for thier school year and future education and Brenda enrolled in the Woodstock school to complete courses for this year. He said the tuition fee for Brenda was $68.18 a month for a three Month total of $204.54 which he was required to pay to the Oxford Board. "As my two daughters are entitled to an education in Huron County schools, which they are unable to receive here through no fault of their own, I felt I am entitled to a reimbursement of the $204.54 tuition fees which are being paid by me to the Oxford County Board of Education," • Taylor said in the letter. Director of education John Cochrane told the board that savings realized by the board because of wages not paid during the strike would be returned to taxpayers in a tax rebate according to law. He added that costs paid by a parent choosing to transfer their child to another school system were not required to be rabated. Lucknow trustee Marion Zinn moved that the board not pay the rebate requested by Taylor -because of the ramifications it may have for *the board.

DOLLARTN6 SAVER' NOW ON SALE IN 3 COUNTIES ONLY 10c "Where the buyer meets the Seller." Is it necessary to file a dispute if you are engaged in trying to reach a se'tlement out of court? The ten day period for filing a dispute does not stop run- ning even though both the plaintiff and defendant are attempting to settle out of court. This is of particular importance for example, if the plaintiff is suing on a debt. The court clerk may sign judgement against a defen- dant who has not filed his dispute. without any •trial taking place. The plaintiff who is now the judgement creditor, will then go about enforcing the judgement. Hopefully a defendant will pay voluntarily) and a defendant who does not pay may be faced with gar- nishment of his wages or seizure of his personal belongings.
