St. Joseph's School
Celebration held for grads
A meeting of the
Catholic Parent Teachers
Association was held on
Tuesday, June 6 to
finalize plans for the
celebration of the
graduation of grade 8
pupils at St. Joseph's
School.
The celebration which
took place on Sunday,
June 11 at St. Joseph's
Church, consisted of
Mass, celebrated by Fr.
Hardy. During the Mass,
the congregation was
honored to be addressed
by the 'guest speaker,
Judge Francis Carter of
Goderich.
Judge Carter, who has
been very active in
education, has served on
the London Separate
School Board, the
Catholic Central . High
School Board of
Governors, the London
Diocesan School Trustees
Association, the Ontario
Separate School Trustees
Association and was the
founding member of the
Canadian Catholic School
Trustees Association.
His greatest con-
tribution to Catholic
education in Ontario was
the winning of the Mid-
dleton Township tax case
in the Supreme_Court of
Canada.
Through Judge Car-
ter's efforts it is now
possible to support the
separate school system
even if the taxpayer lives
further than three miles
from a separate school.
This reform meant
millions of dollars in
assessment to separate
schools. Because of this
legislation, Pope John
XXIII made Judge
Carter a Papal Knight.
Judge Carter em-
phasized the importance
of a Catholic education to
prepare the children for
life as well as death. He
also stated that the school
can help parents teach
Catholicism to their
children on a daily basis.
The C.P.T.A. served
cake, ice cream and
refreshments to the
graduates and their
families following the
Mass.
Through the weeklies
The Listowel Banner
reported that although
Rev. Ronald McCallum,
assistant minister at
Knox Presbyterian
Church, Goderich didn't
miss his service in
Monkton on Sunday, he
did get an extra charge to
look after.
The Banner explained
that the minister, while
on his way to the service
was travelling east on
Perth County Road 6,
stopped at the stop sign
and while proceeding
across the highway
struck a 1976 Lincoln
driven by Eileen Lorenz.
The minister was
charged with failing to
yield the right of way by
the Listowel detachment
of the OPP.
Despite damages of
$2,000 each`., to the
McCallum and the Lorenz
vehicle, the minister left
his damaged car at the
intersection and accepted
a ride from a passing
motorist. It was com-
munion, day in the
Monkton Church and the
replacement minister
didn't want to hold
anything up.
Following the service,
and once home, safe and
sound, Rev. McCallum
was taken to hospital
where he was treated for
a bump to his head.
The Huron Expositor
reported that a freak
wind and hail storm tore
through the Winthrop
area on June 1, and some
say it was the worst hail
storm witnessed in
Ontario.
Bob Hulley said he had
never seen anything like
it and the hail stones were
piled four inches deep on
the cement walk at the
side of his house. He
noted that the hail stones
were the size of hickory
nuts. •
The dints are quite
visible in the aluminum
trim clad siding on the
south side of the Hulley
house. Fortunately, the
windows were not broken
because shredded leaves
from the nearby bush
acted as insulation.
Another witness
reported that her win-
dows bent from the force
of the wind and Carl
'Daltons at R.R. 1, Lon-
desbord had several
windows broken in his
home and his crops badly
damaged.
The morning after the
storm, the gravel roads
were completely covered
with shredded leaves and
leaves were also glued to
the sides of buildings.
Up to 10 new jobs are
expected to be created in
Mitchell soon when the
new company Farm -Tex
Services Ltd. goes into
business.
The Mitchell Advocate
reported that the
business, to be located at
the corner of West Street
and Highway 8, will be in
the business of
fabricating and
wholesaling small farm
equipment such as silo
unloaders and manure
systems.
Hay Township has
decided to make modern
changes for the 1979 tax
year.
• The Zurich Citizens'
News reported that in a
move made by the Hay
council to improve ef-
ficiency, the township
will be switching to
computerized tax billing.
Northern Telephone
Limited of New Liskeard,
the same firm which
handles the billing for the
Hay Municipal Telephone
System, will look after
the new tax billing
system.
The Kincardine News
reported that the Bruce
County Board of
Education has decided
not to make changes to
the school year.
The decision came
about after the Grey -
Bruce Separate School
Board 'sent question-
naires to the principals in
Bruce County asking for
their opinion on changing
the school year by closing
for two months in the
winter and carrying on
classes longer into the
summer months.
Ninety-five per cent of
the principals were in
favor of the traditional
school year while only six
per cent favored the
change.
Some St. Marys youth
are opening the doors of
an ambitious venture
when the Friendship
Youth Power began
operation at the Frien-
dship Centre.
The St. Marys Journal -
Argus reported that the
group have designed a
program to provide
practical help for the
town's senior citizens and
handicapped individuals.
Activities will include
provision of small
painting jobs, window
cleaning, gardening,
major cleaning and small
home repairs. Along with
the project manager
Carol Robinson, two high
school students will also
be on staff.
Carol explained that
although the staff is still
only taking calls, there
have been many requests
for weekly house cleaning
service, which along with
the other jobs are offered
free of charge.
Storms hit the Morris
Township area last week
and the Wingham
Advance Times reported
on the damages of, the
severe windstorm,
described as a "mini
twister."
A barn belonging to
Alan Campbell on Con-
cession 2 of Morris was
torn apart during the
storm, the barn was
vacant. As well, the
•windows of the Camp-
bell's house were all
broken by hail stones.
Most of the damage
from the storm was
concentrated along the
east end of Concession 2.
Windows were broken in
the home of Mel Jermyn,
the furniture and drapes
were slashed from pieces
of flying glass and pieces
of grass and leaves were
left sticking to the walls
and ceiling of the
livingroom,
Two other barns were
also damaged from the
high winds and the large
pieces of hail. As well,
crops and lawns were
shredded and trees were
uprooted.
The Lucknow Sentinel
reported that some
concern and interest is
now present in the
village, regarding the set
up of a Block Parent
Program in the village.
About 15 people in-
cluding two officers from
the OPP and Charles
Davies, principal from
Lucknow Central School,
were present to hear
Margaret McGee,
chairman of the Ontario
Block Parent Advisory
Committee discuss the
pros and cons of the
program. The group is to
be spear -headed by
Davies.
The Brussels Post
reported that the council
of Morris Township
have refused to accept
the resignation of the
village's clerk, Jane
Badley.
Mrs. Badley offered
her designation for
number of reasons, in-
cluding wages. However
council plans to discuss
the resignation at another
meeting.
It had been said at an
earlier council meeting
that the reeve, clerk and
councillors of Morris
were the lowest paid' of
