"I'm not going to interfere w,i..th • t eir .plans. >~' _stated.• pt n canrti*;s fa rarsr � ;!°" CifPStfe ri'?`'blit as a board member I don't like to see" it pass_ed as a smoking area." I'! Dr. Alex Addison, • Clinton, disagreed. •He said the area was to be estlished as a park area 4 to' be maintained by the rl . • 4' 4 fi students. "I think it is a good idea.to. turn this over to. the students and let them run it themselves," saidddiison. "We've got to give' them\some responsibility. We can't say thou shalt not smoke. I don't• thinTt we 'can stop these kids from smoking. I couldn't stop mine. I had quite a timeto stop myself from smoking." , "I don't know where borrd jurisdiction begins and 'ends," said the chairman, '—.bat, I do know this "tame, to the board for 'decision." "It's a , project in itself," 'argued Dr. Addison. "Maybe spark management will become a new subject here. If .we supress these things and not let them do a darn thing, how are they going to learn?" •.Discussion showed that three Of the 'five high schools ,Y— Wingham, Sea-f-orth•nnd--E-xeter----- h d' defined smoking 'areas on the school property already. Goderich Principal John Stringer is The Only principal in the county' who has not given permission for the student body to smoke on the school grounds — or even on the sidewalks adjacent to the school. ' "If principals have the tc management of they -grounds ..in their jurisdiction and the say about smoking,, one wonders why this .came before the board _:. at all," stated George .Parscras,- - Goderich, Director of Education John Cochrane reminded the board that 18,year-olds are now adults by provincial' government decision. "They're adults too, the same as the teachers," noted Cochrane, "They will say that the teachers smoke in the school so why can't they." Elliott quipped that the ultimate solution might be to 'have the teachers smoke on the recreation area too. John Broadfoot, Brucefieid, claimed" that since the students were smoking in front of the 'school, it would. be • in the -Cancer Society interest of , safety to remove..,. them to a recreation area off the roadside. "All you need is one hotrod .t...` going .up the yt•reet in -front -of -- the high School and you -could have several less smokers," noted Broadfoot. A recorded• vote showed that only two board members — John Henderson and Mrs. Marion Zinn — were in favor of a board stipulation that snielhingz be prohibited on the recreation area at CHSS. A new motion that the recreation area be established and left for the remainder of the school year , under the jurisdiction of the CHSS Principal Robert . Homuth and t .e student body was approved. "I have faith in the student body and the principal of this school," said Dr.QAddison. +«'Q ERI ti S1QNAL,sTAR, TUMRSD4V$A!�` Lauds bikathon project Special fund-raising prugrar"ns helped boost the donations to the Huron Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society in, 1971, the unit annual, meeting learned Monday night in Clinton.
