apS asked questions
apOpt everything from
foreign land ownership in the
lownljaip to dog tags during
an all -candidates meeting
last Tuesday night in
Bluevale.
The meeting, sponsored by
the Bluevale chamber of
Commerce, featured seven
candidates eyeing council
positions, together with
Reeve Bill Elston and John
Elliott, trustee on the Huron
County Board of Education,
who have both been elected
by acclamation.
Those still in the race are
Thomas Miller and Sam
Pletch, both miming for
deputy reeve, and Doug
Fraser, Clem McLellan, Bob
Gordon, Bob Grasby and
Clare Van Camp,. for
councillor.
One of the main topics of
concern was foreign
ownership of Afar/inland in the
township. Bev Brown, who
does not live in Morris but is
a member of the Bluevale
Chamber of Commerce,
asked council if it was
assisting the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture in
its effort a to pressure the
federal government to
co It
orris •m..
control, foreign oWnerShlp..
She said if more muni-
cipalities joined the
federation in voicing their
opposition to absentee
owners, it would help the
cause.
Reeve Elston explained
that during the last eight
months about 1,000 acres of
farmland has been pur
chased by absentee owners,'
"and we can't do a thing
about it".
He said before purchases
are made, "You can't see
whether or not the people are
going to come here to live."
Mr. Grasby said if
foreigners buy a farm and
end up living on it, there is no
problem, but as Mr. Van
Camp mentioned, "Some
buy it and never live on the
place. Soon no one will be
living in the township."
Miss Brown also enquired
about land severance con-
trol. She said if severances
were continued, the aspects
of agriculture would change.
Mr. Elston explained there
are pros and cons to,
severances, "Sometimes
people fix up the homes and
barns and it's an asset, but
sometimes they don't. Where
do you draw the line?"

Elliott questioned. on
trustee -teacher con ct. be 'devastating because
John Elliott, trustee on the
Huron County Board of Edu-
cation, who has been elected
by acclamation for another
term, ;, was asked about
trustee and teacher
relationship during a Morris
Township all -candidates
meeting last Tuesday night.
The meeting, held in
Bluevale, was sponsored by
the Bluevale Chamber of
Commerce and attracted
about 30ratepayers.
Bev Brown, a member of
the Bluevale group, said that
some teachers she knows
complain that trustees never
visit the schools, resulting in
a lack of contact and com-
munication between
teachersiand board trustees.
Mr. Elliott explained that
periodic visits are made to
schoOls by trustees, but
board members are not
inspectors and not qualified
to judge teachers' per-
formances.
He said teachers are
supposed to be supervised by
their department heads,
principals and supervisors
and although some teachers
may appreciate more visits,
others may feel they disrupt
the class and "most teachers
wouldn't want a trustee
judging them".
Miss Brown said that no
one has to have a degree in
education. to judge a
teacher's performance and
that everyone is putting
• teachers on pedestals.
"Nowadays you can'tsay
boo to ateacher."
Muriel Coultes asked how
dose the contact is between
trustees and teachers.
Mr. Elliott explained that
the board is aware of the
general operation of each
school. "But isolated in-
cidents would have to be
brought to our attention."
He assured the crowd that
if a problem does arise with
a teacher, it can usually be
rectified once the teacher is
approached by the con-
cerned parent.
Miss Brown complained
about the ' educational
systein, saying that it is
geared only to slow or
handicapped and average
students, and more attention
should be 'Riven to the ex-
ceptional pupils.
"We need as many
brilliant people as we can
get.,,they are the ones that
will be running this country
someday."
Mr. Elliott defended the
system, saying that .the
basics are back in the
curriculum, especially in the
primary grades. Although
exceptional students may
not have special programs,
he said the board is planning
to expand that area.
"But how do you motivate
a child to work to the best of
his ability? That's a question
that no one can answer.
"There are a lot of good
things happening in the
educational system today.
Things are happening,
maybe not quickly enough to
suit some people, but they
are happening."
Mr. Grasby, a candidate
for Morris Township
Council, wondered if
professional development
days are "just holidays".
The trustee said he has
attended' some, "and they
(teachers) are working
hard".
He explained that PD days
