UNICEF boxes banned
by Stephanie Levesque
In an 8-4 vote, the Huron -Perth Separate
School Board moved to have the schools in
its system withdraw temporarily from the
UNICEF program at Hallowe'en.
The motion was approved by the board at
its Sept. 28 meeting, following two discus-
sions by the trustees. A memorandum from
director of education William Eckert will be
sent to the principals of Huron -Perth
separate schools, notifying them of the posi-
tion taken by the board.
Mr. Eckert reminded trustees the issue
was raised at the board's last meeting after
direction was requested by the principals.
The action means the children in the Huron -
Perth Separate System will not be carrying
UNICEF boxes on Hallowe'en. The with-
drawal is on a temporary basis for this year.
At the previous meeting of the board, trus-
tees decided to wait until the Sept. 28 meet-
ing before making a decision. It was antici-
pated that Bishop John Michael Sherlock of
the London diocese would make an an-
nouncement regarding the UNICEF boxes,
but the announcement was not made.
Trustee Jeannette Eybergen suggested
students could collect money for some mis-
sion. She said the children felt they were
doing something when they collected the
money in the UNICEF boxes. She added that
people thought a lot more of the children
who carried UNICEF boxes on Hallowe'en.
Trustee William Kinahan said he agreed „
with Trustee Eybergen. •
Board chairman Ronald Murray said the
board's purpose is to edtiCate children, not
to collect money on Hallowe'en.
"Personally, I don't like to see our kids
going out with the boxes," said chairman
Murray. -
Trustee Ernest Vanderschot said the
board should leave the • question of the
UNICEF boxes the way it is.
Previously the decision to allow the
UNICEF boxes to be distributed among the
school' children was left up to the individual
principal.
Mr. Vanderschot said the board was not
familiar with how bad the needs of the Third
World countries are. (UNICEF money aids
Third World nations).
"I will not vote for the motion," said Trus-
tee Vanderschot.
Trustee John O'Leary asked if it was left
up to the principals would it be mandatory
for the children to take the UNICEF boxes.
"Not now, not ever," said director of
education Eckert. He said the decision had
been left up to the individual child.
Chief gives fire report
Wingham Fire Chief Dave
Crothers reported no fires
this past week, but did give a
few tips on how to prevent, or
what to do in the case of, a
chimney fire.
The first step to take in the
case of a chimney fire is to
contact the fire department.
Chief Crothers warned
against the direct ap-
plication of water to a
chimney fire since it might
crack the structure.
Instead, he advised using a
sock or a water saturated
cloth held. in front of the fire
place or stove door since the
steam going up the chimney
will help to quell the fire.
He stressed checking all
walls, attic space and pipes
going through the floor or
walls for smoke, fire or heat.
All doors on the premises
should be closed to contain
the fire and to prevent arty
draft.
Chief Crothers gave some
preventive steps to follow
which should lessen the
chances of a chimney fire
occuring.
He advised against leaving
a stove fire unattended, and
warned to keep combustibles
away from an overheated
system. Carpets, linoleum,
wood boxes and furniture
should also be kept clear of
any wood -burning appliance.
Chief Crothers stressed the
importance of burning only
seasoned wood and advised
people to install smoke
detectors in their homes,
especially near sleeping
areas.
He stated several common
causes for chimney fires:
sparks from the chimney
onto the roof; excessive heat
from the chimney charing
nearby timbers; radiant
heat setting fire to any
number of nearby com-
bustibles; embers falling out
of the stove and onto the
hearth; and, defective
chlinneys.
Creosote buildup in
chimneys is' also a large
problem and is caused by a
lack of knowledge in burning
solid fuels, installation, wood
type and condition, and the
location of the chimney on
the dwelling.
Chief Crothers reported
that he and three other
firefighters from the
Wingham Fire Department
attended a seminar on
chemical and electrical fire
suppression Sunday at the
Bruce • Nuclear Power
Development.

TWO KILLED IN ACCIDENT—Two people died as a
result of a three -vehicle collision on Highway 86, about
five miles west of Listowel on Oct. 2. A member of the
Ontario Provincial Police looks at the heaps of metal
that Were once cars at the scene of the accident.

the problem could be al-
leviated.
The town has agreed to
spend in the neighborhood of
$3,000 repairing a leaking
roof at the old post office
building.
Councillor Richard LeVan
reported that the problems
on the roof were not iden-
tified in an earlier study of
the building and so missed
being repaired during
renovations to the building
this summer.
The fault is in the flat roof
on top of the building, and
the leakage has caused
damage to walls•and carpets
in the building, which now
houses the Wingham
Museum and the nursery
school.
Mr. LeVan said his
committee has received a
couple of tenders on the
work, but needs more in:
formation from one con-
tractor before making a
decision.
Councillor Patricia Bailey
added that the property
committee will have to
budget for painting the
building next year, which
she estimated could cost
nearly $8,000.
The town plans to offer a
special pickup of garden
refuse again this fall.
The works department will
pick up the refuse on Oct 21
and 22.
Council noted the pickup is
restricted to yard and
garden wastes and does not
include building materials or
other debris.
Council has turned down a
request from the Wingham
Legion for relief from its
property taxes on the Legion
Hall. '
Council received the
request for a tax cut in a
letter from the Legion last
month, in which the
executive explained the
organization is having a hard
time making ends meet. The
matter was referred to a
committee, which met with
members of the Legion
execouutnicviell.
Councillor
or
James Currie
• explained that the com-
mittee sympathized with the
Legion, but feels that for the
town to subsidize an
organization would set an
'unacceptable precedent.
The Municipal Act allows a
council to pass a bylaw ,.

veterans' organization relief

Council will continue to
meet in smoke-filled rooms
following the defeat of a
resolution at Monday night's
meeting.
Councillor Jerry Chomyn
proposed that council should
prohibit smoking at , its
meetings, noting that the
council chambers are not
well ventilated and the
smoke is irritating to non-
smokers. He offered that
council could break every
hour to allow the smokers a
chance to step outside for a
cigarette •
- owever the smoking
ma ority on council easily
defeated his resolution.
"H we die of cancer, our
families will sue town
council,” threatened
Councillor Patricia Bailey,
the other non-smoker on
council.
