The request. was made
because; ---acro ing t6 Mr.
Allan, the time allowed,, for
severe .winter conditlons-
when the school '. year
calendar was given ministry
approval has alreacjy been
used and additional time lost.
Combined'. with that is the
difference in lost time bet-

schools. Some rural -areas
The HUr011 County Board of
Education feelS. it "zee!' cope
with an influx of stugents in
the East WaWariosh Tewnship
if a preposed 40 let sub-
division is don.structed in the
near future: The board
received a letter from the.
Ontario MinistrY of Housing
at its Monday meeting asking
if the Inapact of the housing
development on the present
school facilities -would
require the county to build an
additional school site.
The area for which . the
subdivision is planned is
presently served by the East
Wawanosh Public School in
Secondary Schoel in
Wingharn. The developer of
the subdivision, Lorne
-Humphrey, hes his project
beforq the province for
ministry approval and the
county board of education
was° asked -if it could coPe
with a possible 80 students.
Direct* of education John
Cochrane pointed out to the
board that although/no ad-
ditional school site IS needed
now, it is possible that ad- •
ditions to existing schools
may be required at some time
in the future.
In other business the board
tabled a request from Huron
County E, ngineer Jim Britnell
to purphase, beard of
education property at
Colberne Central School to
permit the widening of the
county road' the school is on.
Mr. Eiritnell said- the county
plans to widen and pave the
road in 1977 -and requires 17
feet ef land on both sides of
the road to extend the right of
way from 66 feet to 100 feet.
The portion of land -
needed from the board of
education is a strip 17 feet
wide and 687 feet long con-
taining • 0.27 acres. Lan-
downers are being offered,
$200 an acre plus a new fence
'or five dollars per rod in lieu
of fence. The • board offer
represents a $2,000 cost to the
county according to Mr.
Mr. Britnell pointed out to
the board that four trees on
the board's land being sought
will not have to be moved nor
will tvin portable classroomS
located .= 49 feet from the
centreline of the road.
If the- 4ale of the land is
-approved county policy would •
mean that the cash offer.
would stand at $54 for the 0:27.
acres plus 41.0 rods of farm
style fence ,or $208 as a cash

Station A at 88 per cent of full
This level of operation
means that Units 1 and 2 will
be able to produce about -750
megawatts of electricity, -
'according to an AECB an-
nouncement made Monday.
The decision to allow the
two units to operate at
maximum polder came aftef
AECB studied safety systerfis
at Bruce GSA which are

reactor malfunction., 11,
The announcement said
that since the two units are
still being commissioned,
they will gradually be
brought up to full generating
capacity undenothe continuing
.watch of resident AECB
project officers.
Units 3 and 4 at Bruce GSA

Once the entire generating
station is completed and fully
