Clinton News-Record, 1978-06-15, Page 15• • Judge Carter, and Father Hardy pose with the graduating class of St. Joseph's Separate school after a special mass last Sunday when Judge Carter gave an inspirational address at St. Joseph's Church. (News -Record photo) 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 • Turn to page 2A • CLINTON NEWS -RECORD.
