trustees in the November

board of education did not
allow those records to go
unnoticed. At its last

education in Huron
County cited two veteran
trustees who both lost
bids, for re-election

Elliott said he wanted to
take the time to "publicly
recognize the con-
tribution" Wingham
trustee Jack Alexander
and Goderich trustee
Cayley Hill "had both
made to- -the education'
system in this county".
Both Hill and
Alexander lost elections

served the board for the
past six years, while Hill
has been a trustee for
seven.
Hill was defeated by a
newcomer to.the politics
of education in Huron: He
.and trustee Dorothy
Wallace were both
-seeking re-election as
Goderich representatives
and were challenged by
Dave Gower, a former
town councillor in the
county seat. Gower
managed to edge Hill out
in a close race to join
Wallace as a Goderich
rep.
The electim was the
second Hill had lost
bringing his record to two
wins, two losses and an
acclamation. He lost the
first board of education
election in Goderich to
Dorothy . Wallace and
later that year was ap-
pointed to the board when
Goderich was given two
seats on --the board. In
subsequent elections he
defeated George Parsons
and Harold Knisley to
join Wallace at the board
level and after an ac-
clamation in 1976 he was
defeated by Gower.

term on the board in
those elections Alexander
and running mate Alex
Corrigan, who shared
representation of the
town and two outlying
townships, were one-two
in the polls when the
votes were counted,
Corrigan passed away
suddenly during his two
year term and was
replaced by Murray
Mulvey, who was ap-
pointed by the board.
In the 1978 election both
were challenged by Bert
Morin and Reverend
John Swan. Mulvey
topped the education
polls election night and
Morin was elected by a

incumbent Alexander.
During that election
issue was made of
Alexander's habit of
taking a winter holiday.
Candidates claimed that
the incumbent trustee
was- shirking -h -is duty by
taking an extended
winter vacation in the
south and voters ob-
viously agreed.
Elliott mentioned the
vacation Monday night
supporting Alexander.
The chairman said being
a board of education
trustee involves actively
participating in
education, board ac-
tivities and the activities
of the community and the
youth of that comrhunity
on a 30 or 31 day basis. He
said being criticized for
being away for 27 days
during a 365 day period,
"I feel is unjust".
Elliott supported
Alexander once before
when the board rapped
his knuckles for being
absent for a series of
board meetings while on
his winter vacation. The
board was considering
asking .for Alexander's
resignation but Elliott
pointed out that the
Wingham trustee had
been a victim of cir-
cumstance and was not
as truant as it appeared
to the board. Elliott
pointed ' out that
Alexander had planned
his vacation for February
and March planning to
miss two board meetings
but weather delayed the
January session for a
week and because of that,
Alexander missed that
meeting as well.
"In the time I..have
served on the board with
Mr. Alexander I feel he
has made a fair and
creditable contribution
during his tenure," said
Elliott.
The chairman ,also
lauded Hill's recoras a
trustee. He said the
Goderich trustee has
been a "very active"
member of the board and
was "heavily involved
with salary
negotiations". Hill served
as chairman of the salary
negotiating team for the
board at one point and
was a member of the
team during the recent
secondary school
teachers' strike.
"He has made a
tremendous contribution
to the education system
in Huron," said Elliott.
