Littlechild got into trouble at a dance at Dungannon on March 2. He was having di oulty getting the cap off a bottle, according to testimony. He finally opened it on his belt buckle, but some of the fluid spilled on a girl's dress. 'At this point, Raymond Mitchell, of Goderich, had grabbed the of- fending,ottle and a tussle ensued. Commented Littlechild, "I was just going to say I was sorry when he grabbed the beer." Crown Attorney H. Glenn Hays told the magistrate that Constable Ron 'Dubrick, of Goderich OPP de- tachment, could testifythat there is a "no drinking" sign in the dance hall at Dungannon. "If they put a sign up like that, why don't they enforce it?" asked the magistrate. He said that en- forcement should be up to the pro- prietor, not the police. Magistrate Holmes asked Little- child, "What do you go out to the dance for?" "To have a beer," the youth replied. Takes Dim View "A great state of affairs," com- mented the magistrate. "I don't consider taking a drink to a dance is a proper thing to do even if it isn't forbidden. And taking a drink inside the dance hall is worse." He reminded the youth that other people go to the dances for the express purpose of dancing, not to have their enjoyment spoil- ed by drinkers. Noting that Littlechild had sev- eral convictions against his past record, the magistrate sentenced him to two months in jail. Robert Carrick, of Goderich, was sentenced to 14 days in jail after he *pleaded guilty to impaired driving. This was his second conviction for impaired driving Crown At- torney H. Glenn Hays said Carrick had only had his driving license re -instated about a week 'before the latest offence. FAST RELIEF FOR.

The vonvietion car- ried a mandatory license suspen- sion with it. 0 0 .•o Starting Pistol' Gone From School Recent instances oaf juvenile vandalism were discussed at the March meeting of Goderich Public School Board. The board learned that four boys were being sum- monsed to juvenile court as a result of a break-in at the old collegiate building about two weeks ago. A starting pistol, used on field day, was one of the items taken in the 'break-in, said M. H. Stephens. About $13 in Red Cross money was taken, a new mirror was broken and a pitch pipe was stolen. The lock on the vault had been tampered with also. The board was told that four boys had admitted to taking part in the break-in.- One :boy is from GDCI and the others have been attending the public school. The board 'members were sur- prised to learn that the offenders had gained entry by climbing up a fire escape to the roof. Once in- side, they used a skeleton key to enter some rooms in the school, said Mr. Stephens. Four windows in the main school were smashed on Sunday, March 3, the board was told. There was some discussion :bout changing locks on the rooms in the old collegiate .building. Passing on to her business, the board heard Trustee Don Aberhart suggest that a sign 'identifying the school, be erected in that part of the property which fronts on the Bayfield road. This would be good advertising ..for the town, he felt. A question about the film coun- cil which certain persons have been attmpting to form in Goderich brought the information that the organization appears to be "dor- mant" at the present time. Some meetings have been held, but few seem interested in taking aver local administration of the scheme. u- —0— —u BAPTIST MISSION CIRCLE NAL,STAlt 00 OUT ON , LIMB WITH BILL- 'SMILEY This was a tough Week.

If you haven't had an acute ap- pendix operation in your family yet, you've got something to look forward to. There's a definite pat- tern to the procedure. Your child becomes sick, vomits steadily for two days and complains of a pain in his stomach. You tell him he's got that stomach flu that's going around, complete with cramps. You try to smother your annoyance be- cause his illness is preventing you from going to that show, or hockey game, or bridge party. ' 5 5 ''a Our tyke is one of those kids who suffer in silence. He can burst into tears if his mother says the .wrong thing, or his little sister upsets the checker board in the middle of the game, which she is prone to do, like all women, when she is losing. But when he is sick or in pain, he sweats it out all by himself, in a private little world.

As long as I'm not sick, and nobody in my immediate family is. But the plain fact is that most of us would die of 'sheer terror, if the doctor didn't take over in an emergency.

This was. Inspector G. G. Gard- iner's recommendation at the Match 'Meeting of Goderich bile School Board. e. It was expected that enrolment would reach 850 this year, but it has declined instead and now is at the 800 shark. `!There will probably be a num- ber a~f mixed classrooms next year," said the' inspector. The enrolment in a number of local classes is now under 30, and he said 'he would like to see larger classes. 1n a class cwhere 29 are enrolled, the average attendance usually is 24, he pointed out. Since provincial grants are paid on a per pupil basis, larger classes would also be more economical, said the- inspector. Dy enlarging classes, fewer teachers would be needed to teach the same total number of pupils. No Resignations The board was informed that so far there have been no resignations from the teaching staff. Trenchers have until May 31 to decide if they will remain here for another term. At last week's meeting, the board received two inquiries from teach- ers seeking positions in .Goderich. One inquiry was from Saskatch- ewan. As reported in last week's Sig- nal -Star, local public school teach- ers have been advised by their federations to accept the board's offer of an increase of $900 in the maxirmum salary level. request for salary increases was received at the meeting from Fred Bowen and 0. Holtzman, care- takers. They asked for $300 ad- ditional per year, and Trustee Don Aberhart moved that they be given $150. Trustee Robert Rae saki he would second the 'motion if Trustee Aberhart would increase the offer ti - 00. After some thought, this, was done and the hobo r was ap- proved by the (hoard.
