She said the groups presenting their support of the materials were not advocating their mandatory use but were protecting the right of selection by secondary school teacher's. She said the move to ban the books indicated the people of Huron felt better qualified to judge course content than the professional teachers they employ. Paul Ross told theO board he represented a group of people from the Clinton area that opposed the proposed banning of the books. Ross told the board that he didn't feel the material in the books was obscene but that the method used to make them appear obscene was "to my mind obscene". "They used a simple children's arithmetic method that says the whole is equal to the sum of the parts," he said. "They've taken parts of the novels and said that these equal the total and that is an obscenity." Ross said that the teachers in the county should •be deft with the decisions they are trained to make. He said they have the ex- pertise to decide if material is fit for use in county classrooms and are trained and hired to make those decisions. A public meeting on the issue of the book banning has been planned and will be held in Clinton June 13 at the high school. Authors Peirre Berton and ,June Callwood plan to be there to defend the\use of the novels in high school English. Foundes' Day •• e • from page 1 The Chief says the fireworks display could possibly become an annual event attracting people into town. But, he says, the price of fireworks today is so high, that in order to put on a worthwhile display, the committee is looking for donations, if not for this year, in future -years. One can easily spend $1,500 on fireworks estimates Chief King and it would be good if the project became self-sustaining. "We have a terrific, setting here," he says, "but we can only do it with the support of the people and service clubs. If anyone likes this idea, a fund could be set up and donations handed into the town office preferably in cheque form addressed to the Founders' Day Committee or sent to Malcolm Campbell, chairman of the committee." 'About June 30 and July 1, a beer tent may be held at the beach. A Dutch choir, hosted by the Goderich Laketown Band, will perform in Goderich on June 27. On June 25, the first day of Canada Week, a band concert will be held in Harbor Park. "We are emphasizing the unity of the country and working with the Canada Week Committee ,set up by the Federal Government," says chairman Campbell. "So many people go out of town and we thought it would .be nice to have some civic activities here," says Judge F.G. Carter, also a member of the committee.

KELLER Council members were generally appalled Monday evening when it was .learned that people are being charged five cents for a glass of water at Goderich Memorial Community Centre. Deputy -reeve Eileen Palmer said she un- derstood the charge was for the disposable cup, not the water. But the question seemed to be whether that was acceptable when the water fountain in the building was out of order. Councillor Stan Profit said he'd been questioned about the five cent charge for water at the arena. Reeve Bill Clifford said it was pretty bad when town councillors have to take abuse over this sort of thing, adding that he, too, had been questioned about the nickel fee for water. • Some reports were that the water fountain was broken, and arena employees were waiting for the part to make the repairs. However, another report was that youngsters were throwing water at the community centre, and the fountains had been shut off to prevent the water game. "If that is the case, we should hire staff that can deal with the problem," said Reeve Clif- ford. "They.should catch the culprits and throw them out." said Profit. Plan to prevent abuse A new plan to prevent and deter abuse of the Unemployment Insurance program is being tested in London Area. Stan Perlikowski, Manager of the London mployment I" rance office of the Canada Employment and Immigration Com- mission (CEIC), an- nounced today that selected employers in this area are being asked to take part. The project asks employers to send the Social Insurance Numbers of people they have hired each week to the CEIC. The CEIC will feed information on new employees into its computers to check their Social Insurance Num- bers Battle for the fences won BY JEFF SEDDON Neither Colborne township school board trustees nor the. Victoria Public School Home and School Association would say die and bout got their wish Monday af- ternoon, fences for the school playgrounds at Colborne Public and Victoria Public. The Huron County Board of Education ended almost two years of avoiding the Victoria School home and school when it agreed to fence off a portion of the school playground to prevent•• children from exiting from the school grounds to an uncontrolled section of Bayfield Road, The home and school association has been concerned for two years that children exiting onto the roadway in the middle of the block risked getting hit by a car on the highway and asked the board to close the exit to force the youngsters to leave the school grounds at Britannia Road. , The intersection of Bayfield Road and Britannia is patrolled by a crossing guard in the morning, at noon and after school and the mothers wanted the children crossing at the patrolled corner. Two years ago when Goderich town council indicated it planned to [widen Bayfield Road to four lanes the mothers began the' campaign to get the exit closed off. They reeditirnended fencing off the area, severing the lot and selling it for use as a residential lot but that suggestion never got off the ground at the board level and several at- tempts since that time have met' with similar lack of success. Monday, Goderich trustee DorothylWallace, said she was at a meeting of the home and school association recently and was almost embarrassed to go.'She said the issue is almost two years old and it was "high time the board did something about it". She told the board that plans for the highway widening are set for construction this fall with a completion target of next summer and the parents are concerned that construction may be an added danger for children,,, Wallace said the home and school association asked that the exit near WELCOME SERVICE would like to call you with "housewarming gifts", and Information about your new location.

NORTH' BODVRICH 524.19/1 the intersection at Britannia Road be closed and that a second exit onto Strang Court, that also leads to Bayfield Road, be closed. She said the Strang Court exit also permits children to get to Bayfield Road at an uncontrolled area. Board chairman John Elliott suggested that the fencing be given to the board's property com- mittee but Wallace said that had been done two years ago with no suc- cess. She said she would like to see something specific done. Wingham trustee Jack Alexander, a member of the property committee, suggested that the board send a letter to the town asking that" the entrance be closed. He said the board may find that parents .used to having their children use the exit will not want it closed. He said there may be enough flack for the board to find out it is not going to close the exit. Property committee chairman John Hen- derson said the members of the property com- mittee were not from Goderich artd were not particularly familiar with the area. He suggested the board appoint an ad hoc com- mittee to deal with the matter. Separate school trustee Eugene Frayne reminded the board that it may be closing a right of way and may not be • legally en- titled to fence it off. Zurich trustee Herb Turkheim said the board should inquire about the issue from its solicitor and come back with a sensible recommendation for the board as soon as possible. Wallace said that all that may not be necessary. She said all the board would have to do is ask the. town of Goderich to close off its Strang Court exit and pending.a decision on that the board could then fence off its own property. A motion was' passed stating that the town be, asked to close the Strang exit and if it agreed to do so the board would close its exit•. Just prior to the Vic- toria School fence issue Colborne township trustee Shirley Hazlitt finally won • a lengthy battle over a fence for the Colborne Public School playground. The fence was the only bone of contention in the board budget passed in March and has been sought by Hazlitt since the county road's department widened, straightened and paved the county road adjacent to the school yard. Hazlitt argued un- successfully in the past that the children playing near the road risked injury from inadvertently running onto the roadway during a play time. She said there was no natural or unnatural barrier to prevent the children from running onto the road and traffic passed the school. area at 50 miles per hour. She said the `ence was estimated to cost about $2,500 and asked the board if it planned to wait until some child was hurt or killed before it acted on the matter. Board chairman John Elliott reminded the trustees that many of the county elementary schools were on busy roads and many did not have fenced play areas. He said that if the board put up one fence it ma -y set a precedent and end up putting up fences at all the schools. Hazlitt claimed that Colborne was unique in that the play area was smaller than many schools and was closer to the road. She said one piece of play equipment was only 36 feet from the centre line of the road. She added that it was improper to make a blanket statement about fencing because each and every school yard would have to be considered on its own. The board agreed to erect the fence on the Colborne the, area but not without some reluctance. "We should start putting up barbed wire and we won't need as many fences," muttered Exeter trustee Clarence McDonald ,during the vote.
