Chairman Eugene Frayne of ' RR 3, Goderich told trustees at their November session that he would let the vice-chairman sit as his re- placement at such meetings. Mr. Frayne is the catholic school supporters' repre- sentative on the public school board. He represents the north half of. the county while Dennis Rau of RR 2, Zurich represents the south half of the county. The board is going. to monitor the question of extending funding to catholic high schools beyond Grade 10. It is also having the ad- ministration prepare briefs to be presented to the province's . three com- missions being set to in- vestigate the issue. • Locally, the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board has set up a committee . of trustees as well as communitymembers to determine whether or not it should go ahead with a catholic high school. Mr. Frayne said his, decision to vacate his chair at these possible meetings is "reasonable". Vice-chairman Art Clarke • of Wingham said he will re - seek that seat. Education Committee Chairman Frank Falconer of RR 5, Clinton and Manage- ment Committee Chairman Dennis Rau also want to retain those positions. However, personnel committee chairman John Jewitt of Londesboro made no comment about keeping that seat. Trustee Graeme Craig of RR 1, Walton said he would like to be personnel committee chairman. . Director of Education Bob Allan said trustees will be able to announce their in- tentions to seek a chairman- ship at the board's inaugural meeting which will be Dec. 3. Remembrance Day service at Knox United BELGRAVE — Remem- berance Day was observed Sunday in Knox United Church, Belgrave. Rev. John G. Roberts conducted the service; Mrs. George Johnston presided at the organ and accompanied the choir as they sang. Scripture reading was from John 14: "Peace I leave with you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid". The meditation was entitled, "The Man I Never Knew". At an early age, the speaker was bereft of his father by death. Only a few mementos remained: a photo on a desk, a gold pocket watch and a medal with the inscription "The great war for civilization 1914-18". This was the first "Man I Never Knew". During the ensuing years there were several. In 1939 there was the man on duty, old and grey bearing the letters L.D.V. (local defense volunteer) on his lapel; Again in 1939 there was the smartly uniformed young man, in training, who shouldered a new gun and responded to curt army commands. In June 1940, this soldier returned from Dunkirk by train, unrecognizable, wrapped in a grey, blanket, wearing old shoes and with- out his gun. He too was a "Man I Never Knew". Another was a firefighter who, following an air raid, returned hotne torn, dirty and weary after many days. on duty. Some lads are remembered only by posted photographs edged in black. After emigrating to Bel - grave, the minister, surpris- ingly, met several local veterans who bore the im- print of war. Some have departed from this life; others are residing here and have taken the form of the "Unknown Man". Today, because of the "Man I Never Knew", we stand in gratitude. R. W.
