The issue was brought up at a recent w1eeting of the Board of Trustees to the Clin- n Public Hospital I CPH ), reported Presi- dent Joyce Chilton. Members of the commit- tee have been asked to ineet with ad- ministrator Dan Steyn and discuss the re- location. The meeting opened with the auxiliary prayer, led by Helen Cooper. Kathleen Elliott gave the tr'asuer's report in the absence of the treasurer. The proceeds of the recent penny sale are a' welcome addi- tion as the general bank account was in low funds, and many expenditures are an- ticipated in the near future.

Milovanovic said the on-going process of striving for excellence in education had been the basic of the FWTAO's decision to strongly oppose full funding, which would affect the ratio of students and close some schools, increase transportation needs, and cause other costs to escalate astronomical- ly. She stated that all education, public and separate, elementary and secondary, had been undernourished for decades, and the elementary schools were suffering from malnutrition. The FWTAO spokesman advocated one funded public system accessible to all. She quoted part of a statement made by Bette Stephenson while bringing down financial estimates. The then education minister said at the time that in Ontario's "pluralistic, multicultural, multiracial, multi-lingual society, unity by fostering a common culture through a shared educational ex- perience could be an effective countervail- ing force protecting society, and the school system might well be the only common, non- commercial learning and social experience for young people". muovanovrc revealed one of the reasons for her strong feelings on this issue. She con- fided that the openness and excellence of the Ontario public education system greatly in- fluenced her family's decision to emigrate from England in 1964. Her son was facing Britain's infamous 11 plus exam which determined a child's scholastic future. She was told by her children's teacher that Peter should be streamed to grammar . school and 'on to university, but if three children with equal qualifications were competing for two available spots, and the names were Smith and Jones and Milovanovic, guess who would be selected. She knew from corresponding with a sister already in Ontario that equality of oppor- tunity was an integral part of the. Ontario system. Milovanovic contrasted, former premier William Davis' expressed belief when speaking in the legislature June 12, 1984 that "the strength of Ontario's educational character rests in the general :merits and values of a universally accessible, publicly supported system" with the reasons he gave the social development committee a year later for promising full funding of separate schools - "a matter of conscience... govern- ed by my own view, by my own sense of what has happened, my own sense of what might be acceptable within the province of tend the leen uunterence 111 t t 1 ol1Lu, Lite end of November. Bernice Jewson and Ester Wright will accompany them. The Board of Trustees have .granted $400 o help defray eenses, a gesture of appreciation for the volunteer hours these teens give to the patients in the hospital. Marg Caldwell reported on the hair care program and mentioned that there are now three registered hairdressers helping with the program. At the Halloween party last week, school children from St. Joseph's Separate School entertained the patients by being dressed in costume, singing and dancing. Cupcakes, chocolates and cider were served. Helen Cooper reported on the gift shoppe and the television rentals. Membership con- venor, Evelyn Holmes mentioned that $943 has been banked to date. Following the business meeting, a mini seminar on the writing of annual reports was led by Peggy Menzies. Guidelines were set down and many questions answered. The Christmas meeting will be held at 12 p.m. on December 9. Lunch will be served in the board room followed by a short business meeting, and then, the decorating of the hospital.

I came to the decision that I did, 1 came to the conclusion that the time had come". I don't think I have ever read a paragraph that had so many `Is' and 'rays', Milovanovic remarked. When the newly elected Liberal govern- ment tabled Bill 30, the FWTAO executive informed its 31,000 members across On- tario, monitored the hearings before the social development committee throughout the summer, prepared a response and hired a lawyer. The FWTAO is one of 19 groups associated in some way with education who are questioning the constitutionality of pro- viding full funding to separate schools. To counter accusations of bigotry, Milovanovic quoted from a column written by the Toronto Star's Frank Jones. Jones pointed out that those lined up against Bill 30 were the voices of moderation in com- munities - earnest school trustees, represen- tatives of mainline churches, and "the reasonable majority on whom social peace has its foundation". Milovanovic emphasized that this is not the Ontario of Cardinal Carter's youth, when Protestant and Catholic were divided by a wall of bitterness, but 1985, "when INSUL4TE your home now!

Milovanovic noted much has been said about the special mission of Roman Catholic Schools. She said the public system, too, has a commitment to excellence, high Stan- ' dards, effective discipline and sound moral values. She admonished her audience to remember their responsibilities as teachers, and closed with a quote from a director of education, "Teachers affect eter- nity, for no one knows where their influence ends". Recently retired teachers were introduc- ed by a co-worker who gave a brief resume of their past career.

VOTE LAURIE COX OODERICH TOWNSHIP DEPUTY REEVE NOVEMBER 12th Students get parking lot CLINTON - Student drivers at Central Huron Secondary School (CHSS) in Clinton will be watching with interest as a new parking lot takes shape at the high school. According to CHSS Student Council President Dave Stevenson, the 25 -vehicle parking lot will be used exclusively for student parking. The work which began last week is "going fast and should be finished soon." The students' council, in an agreement with the Huron County Board of Education, will pay $1,500 of the total $4,000 cost of the lot to be located on the west side of the school, said Mr. Stevenson, a Grade 11 student. The work, contracted out by the board of education, will include the excavation of the land, followed by a layer of rough gravel with a layer of fine gravel on top: The parking lot will alleviate the parking problems experienced by students at the school, says Mr. Stevenson. Prior to the building of the lot, students -were allowed to park on a restricted basis on the teachers parking lot at the rear of the school. Seeing the need for more parking space for students,. the students' council set to work on the project. "We went to acting principal Mr. Fox about getting the parking lot. He went to the board with the issue and they agreed to pay for part of it," says Mr. Stevenson. The students' council hopes to administer the parking lot through the use of stickers and tickets which will be sold after the lot is completed. The money for the project was raised through the school's annual cookie campaign and through dances, he•says.
