Area Board was held on Tuesday evening with all members present except Messrs. Bert Irwin and Russell Bolton. Applications .for feepayment from Clinton, Mitchell and Exeter Boards' for pupils wbo attended their schools from this area, were refused on' grounds that transportation and edu- cation facilities were available : to these pupils if they attended Seaforth high school. The secretary was instructed to ad- vise all adjoining schools by regist- ered mail that all pupils attending' outside schools, beginning the fall term, must comply with memorandum of March 2, 1945, entitled "Responsib- ility for Payment of Fees of Non - Resident Pupils;' The Board discussed moving the girls' entrance to the high school from the north side of the school to the centre of the building where the principal's office pow is. This is con. sidered advisable owing to dangerous ice conditions at the girls' entrance in winter. However action was left over to next year because of difficulty of getting the work done at present. The principal's office would be moved to the space occupied by the girls' lobby. COAL -Warning: Coal will be in short supply next winter. Take it now if available. E. L.
