Pay Schedule
Following receipt of a request for
a cost:of-living bonus for the period
January 1—June 30, 1947, teachers'
salaries were diecessed at some
length at the Marc& meeting of Olin -
'ton Public School Board in the sehool
Thursday evening last.
Chairman A. F. (irin:Gee presided
and all members were present,
On motion of Trustees Fred 0.
Ford and Wilbur Welsh, it was de -
tided 'that the Study and Welfare
.Comntitte be instructed to submit a
salary schedule at the next regular
meeting."
Most of the members seemed'to
favour establishment of a schedule
rather than the granting of a bonus.
Mrs. G. H. Jefferson's application
for the position of eupple teacher
was accepted by the Board.
Attendance of pupils in February
was 89.81 ,per cent., with an enrol-
ment of 228, it was reported by
Peincipa•1 G. H, Jefferson. Days lost.
through absence totalled 463, illness,
chiefly mumps, accounting for 380
days.
Inspector's Report
Dr. R, 0. Staples, Public School
Inscpector for South Huron, in Ins
report. stated that the general or-
ganization of the school was good,
which 'teas especially true when one
has in mind the limitations imposed
by the building itself. "The relation-
ship among principal, staff and mai-
is is very satisfactory; he said,
"Classroom libraries are still in.
adequate, but it is noted that ar-
rangements are being wade which
may result in a greater use of the
Public Library by the child and
teacher.
"The Board is fortunate in having
the .services of so industrious and
capable a staff. It is suggested that
generous salary Mere -eats are in or-
der, mrd that the establishment of a
definite salary sehedule is desirable.
If staff replacemeebs are necessary
this year, steps should be taken early
since the teacher shortage is very
serious."

(By ,Staff Reporter) •
Clinton •Colts are definitely "behind
the' eigltt•hall" in their quest for the
title of ORA. Intermediate "B" group
No. 8, as they have lost the first two
hnatohes of the best -three -in -five
series. Mild weather has played hob
with 'arrangements, .
The third enateb of the series will
be held in :Stratford Arena Tuesday
evening next, March 18, the Arena
having been reserved for this purpose.
In the group final -series, Seaforth
Beavers defeated Colts 7-5 before
1,000 fans in Clinton Lions Arena
Saturday evening, -and then edged the
Colts by the close margin of 5-4 by
about the same -sized crowd in Sea -
forth Arena Tuesday evening.
Instead of two wins for Seaforth
and two losses for Clinton. there
might 'easily have been an even split
at this time. The visitors .looked the
better and deserved to win the game
here Saturday evening; no one would
deny .that.
But, on the other: hand, Colts cer-
tainly should :have won in Seaforth,
although by a narrow margin. They
just didn't get any "breasts"- at a11.
Besides Seaforth being awarded a
disp-reed goal, shots by 'Ken Pickett
and Harry McEwan in the sizzling
third period, -came so close to count-
ing that it wasn't even funny.
Seaforth 5—Clinton 4
Clinton fans were weII represented
at the game in Seaforth Tuesday
evening, and everyone figured it was
a pretty good and even struggle.
Naturally, the ice was soft to start
with and became even softer as time
went on, but both teams worked hard
throughout.
Colts snatched the first goal—Jack
Duckworth from Frank Mc1wan in
the first stanza, but before the close
of the period. the count stood 2-1
for .Beavers. The second Seaforth
goal came while Doug Bartliff was
m the hoose ow
Seaforth scored first in the second
period, Carnegie from Cassidy, but
Dnekworth counted his ,second goal
front HHarry Wostbroolce to reduce
the lead. "Fernier" McFadden count-
ed unassisted the disputed goal from
a scramble to put Beavers up 4-2 at
the ,breather. There were no penalties.
In the first five minutes of the
third stanza, Clinton got right back
into the running with two quiche
markers by Franic Mcliwan front
Rrestbroolce,. and Bartliff unassisted.
The winning counter was tallied
halfway through the session, when
Carnegie banged in a tough one from
halfway to the blue line, on a shot
that Hal Stade eouidn't get. Ken
Pickett was just completing a two -
minutes rest in the penalty box.
From thea on, Colts had the better
of rhe play and cane very o1ore to
tallying, but it was a case of so
near .and yet so far.
Seaforth 7—Clinton 5
Seaford sealed the homesters' fate
in the first game here Saturday even-
ing by tallying a quick pair in the
first two minutes of play, Labute
getting the first, Ellwood assisting,
and Ellwood the second front Powell,
Bob Draper reduced the lead to one
with a counter from Pickett, and the
period ended 2-1 for the visitors,
The second stanza was a heavy -
scoring session, no leas ,than eight
goals being tallied, four by each team,
leaving the score at 6-5 for Seaforth
at the intermission. Draper, Harry
McE'tvan, Duckworth and Bartliff
garnered the Colts quartette.
The visitors clinched the verdict
less than halfway through the final.
spasm when Labute chalked up their
seventh and last marker. Both teams
were playing strenuous hockey, and
the Colts stormed the Seaforth Cita•
del, Deleon being superb in the nets
and robbing the local speedsters of
several surefire goals.
