chell on October 16, from 2 to

Roll • call was a very
special occasion as each
president introduced their
1962 president and then a
count was taken of how
many . were present from
each of the 1Z churches,
making a total of 130 pre-
sent. Mrs. Mary Broughton
was in charge of the
Literature Spot and gave
good information about the
Mission Study Packet
"South Pacific Shores".
The offering was taken by
Londesboro U.C.W. and
dedicated by Mrs. Margaret

note that the same churches
were chosen to take worship,
offering, etc. as in 1962.
Special music was provid-
ed by Mrs. Tom Djiizer, Mrs.
John Radford, Mrs. Allan
Bosman and Mrs. Bill
Bromley who sang two
numbers. These Londesboro

fin is head of the English

years in C.G.I.T.. work, 18
years in Sunday School and
has been and is very active
in U.C.W.•
She spoke of the past
achievements of the U.C.W.,
reviewed the beginnings of
the new group in 1962 and
suggested that all should do
great things for God and ex-
pect great things from God.
Commenting on the future,
Mrs. 'Tiffin mentioned the
difficulties encountered in
obtaining new members,
new officers• and keeping
women interested in the
U.C.W. '
Mrs. Tiffin predicted by
the year 2,000 there will be
many changes .\ People will
have more time for recrea-
tion due to new computer
devices and the church must
be ready to serve others and
find creative ways of, chan-
neling this free time.''Oppor-
tunities to grow in faith must
be 'provided. She suggested
that ,all must ride the waves
of change and reach all
women, young, old, career
and lonely.
Mrs. Tiffin was thanked,
for her inspiring talk by Mrs.
F. Fingland, Wesley -Willis
U.C.W. who also "thanked
everyone who heled in any •
way to mak the evening a
successful one.

1, Varna.
A cake, decorated with the
church crest, by Mrs. Lena

Separate board inures
trustees against conflict
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
Huron -Perth Separate School Board trustees are
now insured if they are charged under the conflict of
interest act.
At the Board's Oct. 12 meeting in Dublin, the
trustees approved by a 6-5 vote to pay a $150 a year
premium for the insurance. The insurance policy pro-
vides an 80 per cent pay back of legal expenses if the
sued trustee is proven innocent.
Trustee Vincent Young said if a ratepayer
challenges a trustee with conflict of interest on a par-
ticular vote and the trustee is proven innocent, the in-
surance will pick up the legal expenses. Trustee Ron
Marcy noted that the insurance only covers 80 per
cent of the costs, up to a maximum of $25,000.
Trustees questioned who pays the remaining 20 per
cent. It was suggested either the board could decide
'to pick up the remaining amount or trustees could
have their own insurance policy to cover conflict of
interest.
Board chairman John O'Leary asked what protects
him if he charges a trustee with a conflict 'of interest.
Superintendent of business and finance Jack Lane
said if a trustee suspects he has a conflict of interest,
the trustee should make it known before a vote is
taken.
The board also approved the 1982-83 total insurance
premium of $19,366.
In other business, the board approved continuing
the chairman's honorarium at one and a half times
what trustees make. The chairman will receive, ef-
fective Dec. 1, $300 per month, as of Dec. 1, 1983, the
chairman will get $337.50 per month and on Dec. 1,
1984, $375 per month. The chairman currently
receives $270 per -month.
Trustee Marcy questioned if the board should res-
cind a motion it made earlier concerning trustees' sti-
pend. The motion approved increasing the monthly
honorarium from its present 'rate of $180 to $200 as of
Dec. 1. This represents an approximate 12 per cent in-
crease, above the five per cent recommended by the
provincial government,
"I see no reason to adjust it, not for the degree it is
over the restraint," said chairman O'Leary.
It was noted the incoming board could roll back the
trustee honorarium.
Recommendations from a board review of the
French • as a second language program were
presented to the board. Most recommendations, deal-
ing with curriculum, purchase of program material, •
professional activity sessions and liaison with secon-
dary schools will be carried out by individual schools
.and the French Teachers' Association. Currently
French is taught from grades four to eight,, for 20
minutes a day or 60 hours a year.
Chairman O'Leary again polled those trustees who
hadn't yet committed themselves to running for re-
election on Nov. 8. Lorraine Devereaux, who
represents Seaforth and Tuckersmith Township, will
not be running, neither will Keith Montgomery of the
Wingham area. Trustee Ray Van Vliet of the St.
Marys area said he will be running. This brings the
total to eight of the 14 trustees who will be seeking re-
election.
Does town have right to tamper
with Hallowe'en, Profit asks
There have been some concerns expressed as to
whether Hallowe'en will be observed on Saturday,
October 30 or Sunday, October 31.
Witches, goblins and ghosts have traditionally trick
or treated on October 31 but many parents feel that
Saturday would be a more appropriate day for
youngsters to gather loot.
Town council briefly discussed the matter Monday
before agreeing that Hallowe'en should be celebrated
on Sunday, October 31.
Councillor Stan Profit said he was,of the opinion
that council should not tamper ,with the Hallowe'en
date.
"I don't know if we can make people go trick or
treating on certain days," he says. "There is a dance
set up at the high school on Sunday so we should
probably leave it that way."
Dreacoiifirrns closures.:..
• front page I
The Bluewater Centre administrator said the
ministry has beenAooking towards placing the
developmentally handicapped in community -
oriented settings and conceded that the phasing
out of the centre made good sense economically.
"Two, five or even ten years down the road is
acceptable," he' said. "There are not as many
young people entering this facility but there are83
people who could come back."
The leak had obvious effects on the centre staff
and Gregg admitted that while the facility has
been the subject of rumors in the past, the
ministry recommendations has created some
stress among employees. Original' reports in-
dicated- the centre would he closed within 14
months..• .
The ministry suggests that savings resulting
.from the closures, plus an additional $9.0 million
ce used for the development of other community
ervices. A recommendation urges that the.
ministry be granted new capital of $18 million to
create smaller group home programs: .
The report indicated that the ministry's staff
m
could be trimmed by 1,163 if the recome dations
were followed.
