WINGHAM DRN`E-IN CLEANERS OR CONTACT SMITH'S STORE IN BELGRAVE BY RICHMOND ATKEY Effective date of the com- mencement of "fringe benefits" for administrative staff and non - teaching 'employees .of Huron County Board of Education poses a touchy problem for the Board, it was revealed at Monday even- ing's meeting in the Central Huron Secondary School, Clin- ton. Sortie employees were taken on the payroll at January 1,1968, and others at various dates, since the first of the year, including August 1, 1969. Thus there is a problem where to start. A motion slipped through, making August 1,. 1969, the ef- fective date, but was •soon re- scinded when members .pointed out that there should be some further consideration of the mat- ter: It was decided to, request D. J. Cochrane, director of educa- tion, to submit a written report and 'recommendation on the subject to the Board at its next meeting in Clinton on Tuesday evening, September 2. A special committee on "fringe benefit " insurance, as requested by the employees, was set up by Chairman John Lavis, as follows: Clarence Mc- Donald,,, Exeter, chairman; John Broadfoot, Brucefield; Mrs. Marilyn Kunder, Seaforth; Mrs. , J. W. Wallace, Goderich;James Taylor, Hensall. Mrs. J. W. Wallace, God- erich, before joining the Huron County Board of Education as a member; had been active in the Ontario Public School Trus- tees' Association. • She was ap- pointed by motion of the Huron County . Board to represent it on the board of directors of that organization. Lincoln County Council sub- mitted a questionnaire on Board finances, stating that it was preparing certain basic infor- mation about the 1969 estimat- ed expenditures of v a r i o us boards of education, and ulti- mately to summarize and pre- sent this information with rec- ommendations to the Province. In refusing to take any ac- tion, Huron County Board of. Education members indicated that they did not consider it part of Lincoln County Coun- cil's or any other.county coun- cil's function, to seek.such in- formation from elected County Boards of Education, whose: members are all elected .by the ratepayers in the same waythat • County Council members are elected. door; a borne need .new g WM* hOW'toCO* sago siding for o* of 1401$11te, MO can lead • to termites. rotting wood,, Rn. Correspond for 21 dears, 'pals' meet for first time Two young girls, Marguerite Quanz of Gowanttown, 13, and.

A re- cently -developed plastic pro- duct now makes it easy for the householder to eliminate clog- ging of eavestroughs and down- spouts. The product—known as "Gutter Guard" --is made of plastic netting. Because the netting is flex- ible, it can be fitted quickly' to any type of gutter or eaves - trough. On a shingled roof, for example, one edge of the "Gutter Guard" is slipped under the shingles and the o thl:r edge under the lip of the gutter. On other types of roof the getting is placed under the shingle and over the supports holding the gutter: Among other advantages: It won't rust dr corrode; it can be cut with scissors; it won't cut • or scratch the hands, It costs about the same as metal types. exchanged some 250 letters. Marguerite Quanz is now, Mrs. Donald Bridge of R. R. 1, 1"ordwich and early this month she met her pen pal for the first time. ' Patricia Wharton married John Gossage. They live in Gloucester, England, and with their two sons, Gary and Brett, are spending a month with the Bridge family. They were met at Toronto International Air=" port by the Bridges and the la- dies recognized each other im- mediately by .photographs they had exchanged earlier. As well as letters, the long- time friends have exchanged tapes and have talked several times on the telephotie. Mrs. Bridge said she knew she would enjoy their company and that "Mrs. Gossage was a good talk er on the phone. " The visitors ffom England have found hospitality over- whelming. ver-whelming. They are enjoy' their visit on the farm, the Ca- nadian weather, and think Lake Huron is beautiful. Mr. Gossage had visited Ca- nada in 1955 but it is his wife's first trip. Both the Bridge and Gossage families hope they will get together again. Daffo dil or jonquil, which is which?
