cBurney for independent schools
On Wednesday,
November 22 the P.T.A.
of the Clinton and District
Christian School met in
the Clinton Christian
Reformed Church. The
speaker for the evening
was Lyle McBurney,.
Executive Director of
the Ontario Association of
Alternative and
Independent Schools,
(OAAIS) .
The speech which was
preceded by a delicious
dinner, catered by the
ladies of the P.T.A.
banquet committee, was
short and to the point.
The approximately 100
persons present were told
that the OAAIS is a non-
profit organization with
some 100 member
schools, of which the
Clinton Christian School
is one. Mr. McBurney

I( incardine
told his audience that the
OAAIS is attempting,
through political means
to foster, in government
circles, a climate
receptive to independent
schools. One concrete and
long-term objective of the
association would be the
removal of government
financial discrimination
against independent
schools.
"The government," he
said, "should channel the
provincial educational
grant along with the child
to any school which could
satisfy government
standards."
Government and public
skepticism toward this
plan should cease when
all people become aware
of the advantages of and
the call for ihdependent
schools. Independent
schools, formerly a haven
for the rich, are
becoming a necessity for
concerned parents at all
social levels.
Studies have shown
that independent schools
generallycost -15 per cent
During winter
Blyth Centre still active
less to operate in spite of
a generally lower pupil
teacher ratio and in spite
of a smaller school size. -
The public cry for
moral values education is
mounting as the public
school exchanges its
Biblical standard of
ethics for one based on
humanistic principles.
British Columbia is the
most obvious example of
a province where a large
percentage of the
population has become
frustrated with public
and consensus education.
Many people have for-
med independent schools
where they as parents
can retain some control
over their own childrens'
education. The result
today is that B.C.
generally supports in-
dependent schools that
can satisfy its standards.
Why not in Ontario?
The reasons for the
continued discrimination
against independent
schools in Ontario are
Complicated Some
reasons are historical,
others are political. The
result, however, is a
financial penalty to those
who, for religious or for
other reasons, choose to
change the direction or
method of the education
of their children.
For those who cannot
afford both the public
school taxes and
payments to the school of
their choice the result is
nothing less than tragic.
Their right to choose
education is denied.
Mr. McBurney closed
his speech on a positive
note by stating that
presently six Canadian
provinces were giving at
least partial support to
independent schools; that
there was in government
and educational circles a
new interest in having the
local school reflect its
own community; that
there was a new interest
in parental involvement
and a revival of interest
in the final goals of the
schools in regard to what
the child should be.
Even in the bastions of
support, religious and
The Blyth Centre for

At the Legion
Our Legion branch was
again a busy building this
past week commencing
with a banquet on
Wednesday served to the
Fair Board Directors by
our Ladies Auxiliary,
who again received a
complimentary vote of
thanks from the Fair
Board for the delicious
and expertly served
dinner.
As suspected, with the
first signs of inclement
weather, our Men's
Euchre on Tuesday
evenings and our Dart
League on Thursday
evenings are becoming
more activated, so if you
still wish to join either of
these groups, call
Graham Yeats for men's
euchre and Terry
Hollingshead, for darts.
These two evenings are
really fun filled relaxing
time periods.
TGIF was again an
active evening as guests
kept filtering in all
evening. Our staff was
hard pressed to keep the
political, for Ontario's
public system of con-
sensus education there
are developing some long
awaited cracks. There is
hope in the future.
After Mr. McBurney's
speech a brief discussion
was held. He was en-
thusiastically thanked by
the audience. A short
recess was held and the
meeting was closed in
prayer.
snack table stocked with
goodies. Terry
Hollinghead won the
Raffle Prize of a well
decorated liquor display.
Rick Shropshall was not
so fortunate as his name
was drawn for the at-
tendance draw, but he
had failed to register, so
the pot grows.
Last Saturday evening,
the Legion was pleased to
host our Legion Pipe
Band in a fund raising
project. The night was
truly successful, as the
Scottish theme was
evident in colorful dress
and dance selections. Our
pipe and drum band has
really come to the fore in
our area and abroad in
winning many contests
and providing much
appreciated en-
tertainment in our area
communities.
The Legion is indeed
pleased with the support
shown to our pipe and
drum band on the oc-
casion of the Ceilidh
Dance last Saturday
evening and sincerely
thank all those who at-
tended in support of the
project.
