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."

ROBINSON • London Bandmaster, who will conduct Olinton Citizens" Band in a • sacred concert in Dunton Town Hall, San - day evening in support of the etIos- piital Aid. (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.
