School medical problems
BY JEFF SEDDON
If members of the
Christian Science faith
want their school
children to be cared for
y
b' -a- Christian Science
practitioner if the
children are injured on a
school trip, the Huron
County Board of
Education feels it is up to
the parents of those
children to see that that is
done.
The board was asked
Monday by the Christian
Science Committee on
Publication o have its
teachers use a special
school travel form for
children of Christian
Science faith ensuring
that the child is cared for
by a Christian Science'
practitioner if illness or
accident befalls the child
while.. on a school trip.
The special form gives
the teacher permission to
supply the child with any
first aid treatment
necessary until a parent
of the child can be con-
tacted. The form asks
that the teacher contact
the parent and a
Christian Science doctor.
The board received the
form along with a letter
of explanation from the
Christian Science
committee on
publication. The letter
referred to the travel
form as a matter '9n-
vo4ving freedom of
religion, freedom of
choice and the right of
parental decision". The
letter pointed out that the
Ontario ministry of
education . had no ob-
jection to the use of the
travel form and asked
that the form be used in
lieu of medical in-
formation and consent for
medical treatment forms
now being used.
John Cochrane,
director of education, told
the board that he had
contacted a spokesman
for the committee on
publication and had
asked how man/students
in Huron County were
members of the faith.
Cochrane said the
committee would not
reveal its numbers but
would say requests to use
Mie -forms Weed sent,only
to boards with members
of Christian Science in
their education system.
Cochrane said the
closest Christian Science
medical practitioner ,was
in Walkerton and
suggested to the board
that the members of the
1979 hopes to be a big
year in the village of
Tiverton. The Kincardine
News reported that plans
are • set for the village's
100th birthday
celebrations this year.
The gala event, set for
June 29 to July 2 will
bring in an expected 8,000
to 10,000 visitors. They
will be able to take in a
number of events, from a
greased pig contest to a
mammoth parade and
the selection of the
Centennial Queen.
"Let's All Shine in '79",
the celebration motto is
hoped to be fulfilled with
school reunions, Old
Home Week, essay
contests, fashion shows
and demonstrations
involving., a number of
grpups, from the
firefighters to the village
council.
faith be free to use the
form provided they
distribtite them them-
selves. He said he saw no
reason for schools to
become• involved adding
that all the board of
education was respon-
sible. to do was get an
injured or sick child to a
hospital. He said once the
child is at the hospital it is
up to that hospital to
contact - proper
authorities or doctors.
Cochrane said the
practice of unique'
treatment for students
was not new but this type
'of treatment was new. He
said there are some
students in the county
excused from opening
exercises in school
(where the national
anthem is sung or the
Lord's Prayer recited)
beta use `rot `religi'on%,
beliefs.
The director said a
teacher is responsible for
getting the child to the
closest medical facility
and then the onus is on
the parent to get a
Christian Science
practitioner.
Voltage reduction
planned for area
As part or a scheduled.
series of tests, Ontario
Hydro will reduce'system
voltage by five per cent
on January 16, 1979.
The test will cover two
one-hour 'periods -- 1 :30.,
p.m. to 2:30 p.m. and 6:30
p.m. to 7:30 p.m. -- and is
not expected - to
noticeably affect
residential, commercial
or industrial customers.
"Very few customers
will even be aware that
anything is happening,"
says Roger Whitehead,
system operations
manager:
It is estimated that a
five per cent voltage
reduction will reduce
system demand by about
400,000 kilowatts.- enough
to supply the needs of a
city that size of London,
Ontario.
The test is standard

Clinton town council briefs 1
Clinton ' council ap-
proved the issue of nine
parking permits, at . $15
each, for the Ministry of
Agriculture and Food
employees. The permits
are good for one year.
Along with the permits,
ag rep, Don Pullen in a
letter, suggested to
council that a street sign
be moved and mounted
on a hydro pole to allow
one, more parking space
near the office.
He noted that there• is a.
parking shortage in the
area near the office. On
some days up to 60 people
are attending meetings at
the office #nd there are
some 25 people employed
at the office, most of
whom travel to work by
vehicle, he pointed out.

In more discussion on
parking, Councillor Joe
Atkinson, told council
that there is a parking
problem uptown, the
meters and permits being
abused.
"I see some vehicles
sitting there all day," he
said, "and the permits
are only issued for. short
stays. I'm in business
uptown and I don't like it
if potential customers
can't find a parking space
because they are filled all
day by other vehicles."
Mayor. Harold Lobb
admitted, "I didn't
realize that their permits
were being abused. This
is the first time that I've
heard of it.''
Council agreed that a
letter stating the con-
ditions and uses of yearly
parking permits be sent
those havinggthem.

Some discussion took
place on the winter

Some councillors
thought the bylaw should
be changed since they felt
that the midnight
deadline for cars to be
parked on the street was
too early.
Reeve Macaulay ex-
plained, "I wouldn't want
people who were at my
house to have to go out at
midnight and find
parking tickets on their
cars. I want a more
realistic hour. They don't
start plowing at mid-
night."
Councillor Ron McKay
cut in, "I suggest that any
council who has such
high morals about topless
waitresses should want
all parties over by
midnight."
