The truck is outfitted with a hydraulicly operated hoist and a service box and was sold to the Dominion Road Machinery Company who in turn ' will ship it to Ghana. The deal was put together by DRMCo salesman Bruno Lapaine who said he offered the truck to serve as a service type vehicle with road machinery sold to Ghana. He said there is a possibility in the future that on occasion other such deals can be made to allow Goderich firms to clear overseas through DRMCo but there is no possibility of a steady trade. (staff photo) 4,47 Clinton students raised moneY CFOS gets board backing, GC1c1 tuined down The Huron County Board of Education supported a student project at Central Huron Secondary School in • Clinton Monday aftern and then turned that sup against a $700 grant request from students at Goderich Distriet Collegiate Institute limiting the request to $200. The board heard an appeal from Jan Devok, president of the CHSS student's council, to permit the students to build tennis courts on board property at -the secondary 'school. The president said the permission would not cost the board anything since the students had raised money for the courts themselves but needed the boardi approval to build the courts On school ' property and 'make thein open to the public.' She said ihe wanted ,the board's backing to permit students to sponsor a fund raising drive to raise more money for the construction of the two coutts. The board explained to Miss Devok that the county policy has alwayi been to encourage the public to make use of board of education facilities during non -school hours. Director of education John Cochrane added that the board would have to give the Clinton students special permission to sponsor a public fund raising drive. Miss Devok said the students had already raised $5,000 anc14'were currently working, on a chocolate bar sale that she said would net another $2,000. She said the students hoped to raise money locally but had to have the board's assurance that the courts would be public Clinton service clubs and before they c7tild canvass groups. Miss Devok presented the projett to the board With the help of CHSS teacher -Tim Fox who outlined the con- $ V struction details to the board. Mr. Fox said the students had received two quotes on the job, one for $19,450 and one for $32,000. He said the more expensive job was the one the the students had chosen due to the added features and work that would give the courts -added life and provide some safety from damage to the asphalt from winter freezes. He said the quote wadone at cost and was a maximum price. Lavis' Construction �f Clinton will be, doing the paving if the students take on , the expensive job and Mr. Fox said the firm had given the students a cost price and assured them that th,e price would not be over the quote. The corn p_any also said any saViiig-Aalized on the' job - would ba' passed on to the - students -meaning the cost may be less than $32,000. Miss Devok said the students had checked the work of Lavis and were satisfied of the quality of their work: -She said they had done the Maitland Golf Club courts in-Goderich and the promoter of those, courts, Tom Jasper, told the students the work was excellent. The board then turned its attention to a request from students at Goderich District Collegiate Institute. The GDCI group asked the board for $700 to assist with a special school homecoming planned for the town's Jubilee Three Sesquicentennial celebration. The money was to be used for promotion and organizatioon of a homecoming for graduates and former teachers, and students of the school. Goderich trustee Cayley Hill was • appointed by the board to meet with the students to see what, they planned and returned a recommendation. to the board to support the function with the grant. In a letter to the board Mr. Hill. said that the' homecoming was not going to "directly advance education in the County" but added that he felt it was a good idea and saw no reason for the hoard not to support it. He said the money was_ to be spent to cover costs and broke down the expenses as $100 for artwoik, $200 for photography, $100 for refreshments, $100 for ad- vertising and $200 for postage. Dorothy Williams, a Clinton trustee, said she recalled the Clinton- centennial celebration and students from CHSS going out. and getting donations ',qin their own to suPport their project. She said the students asked the board for nothing: She added that the Clinton students-novi wete .t-aising a. great deal of money for tennis bourts and the Goderich students were showing no means of trying to raise • money for their project. Alex Corrigan, a Blyth area trustee, said he was involved with the Blyth centennial coming tip and felt that the village Should "maybe get a tittle money if Some was given to Goderich". Shirley Hazlitt, orCoiborne Township, said the students at GDCI had shown some initiative in other community projects and had supported functions in the past and should be supported partially by the board. She said- the . board could possibly consider —giving them the money for postage rather than no money _at all. Goderich trustee Dorothy Wallace said the town _ couldn't 'suPpbrt tlig'itUde . since the Jubilee Thr committee, which p organizing celebratioh functions, has no moneY either.
