the two counties, at an
estimated cost of
$281,500.
In 1981 the board would
consider the purchase of
a four to five acre site in
the town of Listowel at an
estimated cost of $100,000
to build a five -ropy
school on the site in 1982.
A library resource and
general purpose room,
change rooms and health
room will be included at
an estimated cost of
$410,000.
Also planned for 1982 at
St. Joseph's school in
Stratford, is a library
resource, general pur-
pose and change rooms at
an estimated cost of
$275,000.
William Eckert,
Director of Education,
said improvements would
"look after some of our
needs but the list is open
for deletions or additions
of items not alread'y
there".
Trustee Ronald Murray
of Dublin questioned why
schools lacking such
things as gyms were not
included in the list of
proposals. He stated,
"we're not going for
equality of education...
some schools have
everything and others -
zilch !"
He was told the board
would lack credibility if it
included in its list of
proposals the needs of
every school.
Trustee Ronald Marcy
of Stratford asked when
the board could expect a
reply from the ministry
of education on its
decision to approve or not
approve the proposals in
the five-year forecast. He
was told it could be
February or not at all. He
suggested that If the
board was turned down it
should send a delegation
to Toronto to speak
directly to ministry of-
ficials.
Trustee William
Kinahan of Lucknow
questioned the outdoor
education centre and
what conservation
authority would be in-
volved. Mr. Eckert told
him it could be any
authority in the two
counties and Ow pc•upus4l
to the ministry had to be
submitted early because
if approved,much time
was needed to research
locations and work out
the agreement.
Mr. Eckert said many
boards had worked out
agreements and the
ministry looked
favourably on such
projects.
John O'Leary of Staffa
asked about the school at
Exeter saying "I think
the board only did a
minimum there this
year". To which Mr.
Eckert replied that
possibly during the next
few years with the con-
tinuing growth in Exeter
it would be necessary to
look into improvements
there.
Business superin-
tendent Jack Lane said
that new projects could
be added to the list of
proposals for another
year and given priority
listing if the need was
indicated.

The chairman also
lauded Hill's record as a
trustee. He said the
Goderich trustee has
been a "very active"
member of. the board and
was "heavily involved
with salary
negotiations". Hill served
as chairman of the salary
negotiating team for the
board at one point and
was a member of the
team during the recent

teachers' strike.
"He has made a
tremendous contribution
to the education system
in Huron," said Elliott.

Centralia offers short courses
Ontario farmers don't
have to get the `short end'
when it comes to knowing
the latest production
techniques. They can
attend short courses at
the Centralia College of
Agriculture Technology.
Fifteen agricultural
short courses will be
offered at the college in
early 1979, says Doug
Jamieson, short course
coordinator. All but three
are one day long.
"We hope that a farmer
might learn enough in the
one day to pay for his day
away from the farm, the
cost of the course, and
even his gas," says
Jamieson.
The short courses,
scheduled from January
until April, cost $4 per
day. They are aimed at
professional- , farmerrsy'
farm employees, and
novice farmers.
Instructors will come
from agricultural
colleges, government,
and farm -related in-
dustries.
Courses will cover four
main subject areas —
livestock, farm
management,
engineering, and soils
and crops.
Seven of the 15 courses
are new, says Mr.
Jamieson. New topics
include white beans, seed
production, transferring
farm assets, basic pork
production, and i alter-
native energysources for
farms. 4. ;,,,...
Some of last year's
offerings will be back
again — farm income
tax, sow herd
management, beef
feedlot management, and
cutting farm energy
costs.
To register, farmers
should contact county
offices of the Ministry of
Agriculture and Food, or
