Kin McGee of McGee Motors checks -0u e con Is on this
tro
specially equipped General Motors* diesel truck to be
shipped to Ghana,•Africa, this month. 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)

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.

is Canada's
Heritage? According to a
recent Kinsmen publication,
heritage is .many many
things. It's a neir settler
clearing a field for his crops,
a fur trapper walking through
snow gathering his pelts, a •
ride to church on Sunday
morning. in a horse pulled
buggy, a persOn running a one
man weekly newspaper,. a
farmer tapping trees in the
spring for syrup.
"Our Heritage is also. a
coal -oil lamp," the Kinsmen
say. "A glass milk bottle, a
pot belly stove, an, ice box,
and Eaton's catalogue, a one
furrow plow; a milk can, a
‘ hand' crankecli; telephone
r'cp,e,.;0i#40kocisef, Itn(Vf"
tong() on and on.' a'
"And yet our Heritage is ,
- Something else. It is alsa
rheinOries. As you think back
into Candda's past you are
really turning, the pages of
history books. Ai you are
doing, this you cannot help
feel 'proud of our country and
the things- Canada stands
for." •
