BY JEFF SEDDON A recommendation not to change Huron County board of education policy on school field trips was a disappointment to several trustees Monday afternoon. The field trip policy was sent to the board's education committee in May to see if changes were needed to make the policy more, com- prehensive. The com- Don Farwell new head BY WILMA OKE At a meeting of the Huron -Perth Unit of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association on Tuesday Don Farwell of Clinton' was elected president, succeeding Gaetan Blanchette of Clinton. Other officers are: Sandy McQuillan, Stratford, first vice- president; Jim McDade, Stratford, second vice- president; Sister Audrey Dumouchelle, Stratford treasurer, Pat Brewer, Stratford, recording secretary; Inez Haid, Hesson, corresponding secretary; Justin Tomasule, Stratford, and Jim Steffler, Wingham, counsellors; and Adrian Pontsioen, Stratford, Board of Directors. Don Farwell outlined some of the goals of the organization this year including continuing the public speaking where the students from the 19 schools compete for the top honours; to support a conference in Chatham sponsored by the Association of Religious Consultants of the Diocese of London; to contribute to the golf tournament for teachers in June in Mitchell; to allocate some money for professional activity programs in the coming year -- to pay for speakers coming in (offering money to the board on a shared basis for this). The possibility of establishing a professional library with the board was discussed but no decision arrived at on the matter. Mr. Farwell spoke of the importance of communication among teachers as well as betweenteachers, ad- ministration and board.

Many consolation prizes still to be delivered. DANA COMPANY 44 WEST ST. GODERICH mittee told the board Monday it felt the policy could not be improved and recommended nothing be changed. "I'm a little disap- pointed in this \ two line recommendation," Zurich trustee Herb Turkheim told the board. "I felt a detailed 'study of the policy was needed". Goderich trustee Dorothy Wallace, a member of the education committee, said the committee felt the board "can't do any better on its policy". She said all overnight trips come to the board for approval and the board has every opportunity to have any questions awnsered and to refuse permission for the trip. Turkheim said he felt a detailed report on the board's liability on field trips was in order. He said he asked that the policy be checked because he wanted to know who was liable if something happened to any of the students on the trip. He said he felt the board w,as liable for the students adding the board was leaving itself "wide open" with its present policy. Board chairman John Elliott said part of the concern over field trips was for students going to the province of Quebec. He said in Ontario lawsuits resulting from mishaps on field trips can range in size according to the magnitude of the mishap but in Quebec dollar figures are at- tached to accidents ac- cording to how officials feel neglect was evident. Elliott said there was some concern about problems that could develop over field trips into Quebec. He added that there was no reason to doubt the efficiency of super- vision on school field trips. He said there was a chance for a mishap but the only way to avoid that was to put students "in glass cages". Goderich trustee Dave Gower pointed out that while the board has the opportunity to approve or disapprove of field trips the timing sometimes restricts what the board can do. He said by the time the trip is up for board approval arrangements for the trip have already been made and the final decision becomes a formality. He said he would like approval for trips to be requested earlier than it is now. Despite the concern no change was made in the ,field trip policy. r THE LC DIGITAL QUARTZ CHRONOGRAPH.
