Carter told board members - that all ___con- flicts must ideally be resolved in favor of the children. Judge Carter presided over the inaugural session of the Huron County Board of Education Monday and administered the oath of office to .,the 16 trustees. In his speech to the new 1981-82 board he urged trustees to maintain the interests of children in all their decisions. "That is the most important reason for your existence as a trustee. No matter how ornate the schools or dedicated the teachers, everything rotates around the children," he said. "The board may think they have a responsibility to the ratepayer. That is true to some extent but I am of the opinion that. any conflict in board affairs must always be resolved in favor of children." Carter ------said ------that economics have forced education into a position similar to that of the Depression. "Times are getting tougher and as a child of the depression I know that there is no room for frills in education. We must get back to basics," he said. "We must get across what is essential so that when students are finished Grade 13 in our system they don't need an English course to get into university." And while praising the trustees for having the initiative to stand for public office, Judge Carter cautioned the board not to expect praise for their diligent efforts. "There are not many thanks for this job," he said. "Only the self satisfaction you will get for a job well done. "Everyone should be con mended _for standing for public office because it means a great sacrifice. But I 'also think u that the spouses of the trustees make a greater sacrifice that is seldom recognized." He told trustees they would face tough times in the next term and wished them success in coping with the problems. Santa ELDER ENTERPRISES SALES & SERVICE DIAL 262.6142 HENSALL ONT.
