Wingham 357-2323 By Ross Haugh The two trustees front the Tom of Goderich on the Huron qty Board of Education disagreed Monday on whether students in an urban area living more than one mile from a scl' Mould receive bus privileges. A motion by Mrs. Dorothy 'Wal- lace that busing for these students not be started at this, time was approved by board members. The other Goderich repre- sentative, Cayley Hill, was in favor of providing bus trans- portation. In his opening remarks Mr. Hill said, "I would like to try h for a year, strictly on a trial basis." After Mrs. Wallace's motion was passed Mr. Hill said he would ask that the matter be brought up again at the May or June meeting for further discussion. As the result of a petition from some residents of Goderich a few months ago, the,administration was asked by the board to look into the cost of providing service throughout the county for town children living more than one mile from their school. Costs as prepared by trans- portation manager R. L. Cun- ningham amounted to $11,030.80 per year for 56 students at Robertson public school and 18 students at Goderich District Col- legiate. In her statement to oppose pro- viding bus services, MrS. Wallace said, "Pupils would lose more than they gain at both ends of the r y• Mrs. Wallace indicated. some students were receiving extra help and using additional facili- THE BASE FACTORY OUTLET SPRING STORE HOURS: HURON COUNTY'S L 4RGF ST DEPARTMENT STORE FRIDAY 11 AM to 9 PM SATURDAY 9 AM to 6 PM Closed SUNDAYS EN'S --BOYS' -LADIES'- GIRLS' and BABY'S WEAR YARD GOODS -FURNITURE- MATTRESSES -PAINT SEWING -MACHINES -SMALL.

In reply to a question from Charlie Thomas, trustee M011Y Kunder said, "In rural areas; ele- mentary students are required. to walk only a quarter of a mile and the maximum walking distance for secondary students is a half' mile." Mr. Hill indicated the big prob- lem in Goderich could be young- sters walking through heavy, traffic in the downtown area. At the end of the discussion Mrs. Kunder suggested bus services for urban students could be tried in Goderich on a trial basis from December 1 to March 1. Other schools with town stu- dents more than a mile away are F. E. Madill secondary and Wingham public school and Clin- ton public school. Board members failed to support recent resolutions from the Wellington County Board of Education to Ontario's Education Inphster Thomas 'Wells. The Wellington resolutions asked that the Ontario School .Trustees Council be empowered to speak on behalf ofa substantial majority of- trustees in the province; that legislation be introduced to set out terms of reference for collective bargain - ',g between boards and teachers. Cayley Hill was the main okesman on this topic saying, "1 don't think we should support this. They are making sugges- tions that may or may not be workable. It could mean we Would go along with a blank cheque." Hill continued, "I think the Ministry is making sincere at- tempts to update legislation. There may be just cause for del " ay. Chairman Wilfred Shortreed commented, "Legislation is coming down some Tuesday. It's been coming for three or four - years." The board decided Monday to set up an ad hoc committee to investigate the implications of the proposed power generating stations for Huron. Discussion took place after receiving a brief from the Huron Power Plan Com- mittee's chairman, Adrian Vos. Mrs. Dorothy Wallace was the first to speak saying, "This is a Violas ,atter. We should be taking a stand en it." Chairman Shortreed added, a"Anhal*, like Bruce could hkve a real impact on our educational system." In discussing the size of the committee, Shortreed said, "I think we should have more than three members. I would like t0 add to get more expertise," The board agreed -4Osupple- mentsalaries of members of the custodial and secretarial staffs who are covered by collective agreement. These employees will receive an additional $35 per month for the duration of the con- tract. Part-time employees will also be covered on a pro -rata basis. • In explaining the move Cayley Hill said, "This is not an amend ment to the collective agreement but a board decision to provide salary supplements in keeping with economic trends of the times." The board agreed to support the Goderich high school drama club financially if they advance to the •Ontario finals at the St. Lawrence Centre in Toronto on May 8, 9 and 10. The Goderich drama presentation of the 1913 storm on Lake Huron was one or four possible entries in the Toron- to festival. N. Ashfield school to be closed by Huron board By Ross Haugh On recommendation of the education and management com- mittee, Huron County Board of Education members Monday afternoon . agreed to close the North Ashfield public school, effective June 30 of this year. Pupils who would normally a d the Ashfield school for and the 1975-76 term will be en- rolled at Brookside public school a distance of about 12 miles. Trustee Marian Zinn, while in favor of the move, suggested ratepayers in the area should be given a say in disposition of the school property. in. answer "to -•a • question of getting alomiosiBbe to tireiptto posed move, Mrs. Zinn said;'No. It's been taken for granted. BUt, the school is only 14 years old' and I think ratepayers should have a say about its disposal." She was assured by vice-chair- man Herb Turkheim that an Ontario Select Committee has suggested meetings 'of this type before closed schools are dis- posed of. To Hire Technician After considerable discussion, the board decided to hire an audio-visual technician for the media centre located' at the board's offices in Clinton and not replace a retiring technician at South Huron High School in Exeter. Ken Bridges, who has been the audio-visual technician at South Huron since before crea- tion of the county board wishes to retire. In an earlier brief from SHDHS it was stated Mr. Bridges would continue for another 'year if no solution to the staff of the Exeter school could be reached. The board will allow South Huron to hire a para -professional or teacher's aid to fill the position. Director of Education D. J. Cochrane said a person to fill this .position could be included on the South Huron staff in lieu of a secretarial staff. Asked about procedures used by other boards, Cochrane replied, "There are as many systems as school boards." The only high schools in the county presently having this audio-visual technician service are at Exeter and Wingham. The South Huron brief had suggested the technician service be ex- tended to include all secondary schools and the placing of a tech- nician at Central Huron in Clinton instead of the board's adminis- tration office. In other business, the board: Approved a . swimming pro- gram at the Vanastra pool for 30 grade 4 students from • Hullett Central school. Similar programs are being operated by Huron Centennial and Clinton public schools. Referred a request by Wing - ham board member Jack Alexander that a poll be taken at F. E. Madill Secondary school to consider the possibility of estab- lishing a music program in the school. Director Cochrane will be investigating. Trustee Alex Corrigan said a similar request two years 'ago failed to show enough interested students: Learned arrangements have beer rintde• for' tr grfeelid'meettig at the Exeter public 'school on Wednesday, April 23. The Bay- field-Ausable and Maitland Valley Conservation Authorities will be presenting their "Lands for Learning" program. Procedures to be used by princi- pals who wish to have classes visit Authority properties will be outlined. At the conclusion Exeter principal James Chapman will conduct members of the board on a tour, indicating the recently expanded facilities and describ- ing further changes which are planned. Auditor's '74 report says Howick costs up by $60,000 An auditor's report presented at April 7 council meeting, re- vealed that spending in Howick Township increased by over $60,000 for 1974 to $482,274. The- increase in expenditures was due mainly to high interest rates, fire agreements and road costs. With the purchase of new machinery costing $13,000 includ- ing a new tractor, road expendi- tures rose by $24,000. The town- ship was also forced to pay high interest rates for temporary borrowing for the community centre. In addition, the basis for fire agreements was changed. Previously, Howick Township paid by the bour in actual time fighting fires. The new agree- ments are all based on assess- ment and cost the township about $9,000 more. Revenue for 1974 came to $523,445 which include grants and subsidies. Of that figure, $343,000 was collected through municipal taxes. The 1974 revenue represented almost a $100,080 increase from the year before. The total figure for the cost of building Howick Community Centre came to $439,544. It in- cludes cost of land, construction, furniture, fixtures, etc. That amount, which is not included in total 1974 expenditures for the township will be put on deben- ture. Toronto offices have not as yet, told township officials what amount will be put on debenture. A motion was passed in domicil to pay MacGillivray & Co., Listo- wel office, a fee of $2,500 for the 1974'auditor's report. The fee for 1075 was set at $2,000 plus addi tional costs if necessary. The tender of Gilmour Farm Supply, Harriston, on a hydraulic mower to fit the township tractor at a price of $2,086.50 (tax in- cluded) , was accepted. The road superintendent was instructed to call for tenders for a truck as per specifications of the township. Tenders are to be in by noon, May 5. The lowest or any tender will not necessarily be accepted and is subject to the ap- proval of the Ministry of Tran- sportation and Communications. Council decided to make no changes in the insurance cover- age provided by Frank Cowan Co., with Johann Insurance, Agency as agent. The township will pay a fee Of about $3,400.

AL PACEY of Wingham was one of over 60 courageous volunteers who came to donate blood at the blood donor clinic Monday evening. If you don't mind the short interval of actually giving the blood, you'd have enjoyed the relaxa- tion, coffee and cookies served afterwards. Lots of smoke in dryer fire A Friday afternoon fire call that brought out the firemen in their fire truck and a police cruiser and looked so' exciting that some kids and adult specta- tors converged on the scene turned outto be a disappointment as far as spectacular events go. Keis de Vries of 192 Leopold St., however, should be far from disappointed that the fire in his home was only an overheated clothes dryer. Chief Dave Crothers said the fire was caused by a closed vent that caused the dryer to overheat. There was lots of smoke, he explained, but the only damage done was to the dryer itself.
