Public school concert
Last Wednesday
evening, the pupils and
staff of Hensall Public
School entertained a
large audience of parents
and friends with `a play
entitled The Christmas.
Carol.
Though the chief
wharacter, Scrooge, was
still important to the
play, many of the scenes
were written and
developed by the pupils
and staff members. The,
role of Scrooge was
shared by various pupils
so as to minimize the
number,_.of lines to be
memorized: Todd
Goudie, Rod Parker and
Pam Cottrell shared the
the main role.

the concert. with a variety
of Christmas hymns and

Chamney Sanitation
Concerned about the safety of
school children riding on eight school
buses cross•ng the intersection of
Highway 8 aril Perth County road No.
10 in Dublin, the Huron -Perth Catholic
school board endorsed unanimously a
resolution last week calling for
controlled lights to be install' d at the
corner.
The resolution was presented by the
council of the Township of Hibbert
and the Village of Dulllin,following a
recent fatal accident - at the in-
tersection. It was stated that after
each of four prior fatal accidents had
occurred at the corner, represen-
tation was made to the ministry of
transportation and communications
for the installation of lights but
without results. With the fifth fatality
last month when a Hibbert Township
farmer lost his life in a collision of two
trucks, the councils are again calling
for lights to be installed.
The school board is -forwarding a
copy of the board's endorsement to
the Hon. James Snow, Minister of
Transportation and Communications
and the local municipal councils.
A resolution from the City of
Stratford was endorsed by a narrow
margin. The resolution calls for the
minister of education to be petitioned
to make changes so that membership
of boards of education more
adequately reflect student population
and education taxes paid. Board
chairman Ronald Murray said he
didn't see how the resolution could
affect the board and left his chair-
man's seat to vote against it.
The two Stratford trustees, Ronald
Marcy and Jeannette Eybergen,
persisted in discussing the resolution,
with Mrs. Eybergen stating it did
affect the board with the number
from Stratford cut by one in the last
election of trustees. Vincent Young of
Goderich said it was sad that Strat-
ford started out with four trustees,
then the number was cut to three and
at the last election the number
allotted to Stratford was two trustees.
Business Superintendent Jack Lane
stated that trustee,representation was
based on market value assessment
for the first time this year and that the
determination of trustee across the
to counties is a municipal respon-
sibility.
Trustees Ted Geoffrey and Vincent
Young were named to an ad hoc
committee to arrange for the staff -
hoard banquet for 1981.
The four standing committees were
named with chairman as follows:
building and . property committee,
named with chairmen as follows:
personnel committee, Ronald Marcy
of Stratford; transportation com-
mittee, Tim McDonnell, of Gadshill;
and finance and insurance com-
mittee, John O'Leary of Staffa.
Chairmen of the ad hoc committees
are : trustee -clergy liaison com-
mittee, Arthur Haid, Listowel;
teacher negotiations committee
Vincent Young, Goderich; early
school leaving ' committee, Tim
McDonnell; policy and bylaw com-
mittee William Kinahan, Lucknowj
assessment committee, John
O'Leary; and program placement
review committee, Lorraine
Devereaux, Seaforth, for Huron
County 'and Jeannette Eybergen
Stratford, for Perth County.

school board on the Stratford Public
•
