Phone 235-1422 "Support the Youth GRAND BEND Cor. of Highway 21 & 83 Phone 238-2374 of Our Community" Letter to the Editor Dear Sir: Would like to have some space in your valuable little paper, and thanks for giving us the county eouneil news, which not all weekly news- papers seem to bother with, and which was quite interesting last week. Now, having read that article on public school controversy last week, I read an article quite some time ago, somewhat simi- lar to that one, also from the Family Herald, and this did happen not so very far north from here, in a township of 13 schools, and was written by some one named A.V.H., Ont. And I quote: "It is time the people of rural Ontario began to look up and take notice of what is happening to the little red school house, the Depart- ment of Education for Ontario seems to me, is bent on pushing the rural people of Ontario into centralization of schools, wheth- er the people want it or not. In our township we have been hounded for the last 12 years, and six years ago our school board gave in and agreed to a central school system. When the ratepayers heard about it they immediately got up a pe- tition and stopped it. Then the medical health officer went to work on tie school hoards. He 10 YEARS AGO APRIL, 1954 John McBride, a resident of Zurich, fell and broke his arm on Monday. Mr. McBride is about 80 years of age, and has returned home again after re- ceiving treatment at the hos- pital. Gerald Gingerich, who has been supervising the electrical division of the Hess Electric business for some years, has taken over that end of the busi- ness on his own. Rev. and Mrs. Albert Martin, who have been living in Kit- chener where the former has been studying.; have now moved to Zurich. The ratepayers in Grand Bend voted Monday to take over the operation of their own Ihyclro system, and to borrow up to $85,000 to finance the project. Only eight people voted against the proposal. Trp. Robert Forrester and Robert Fisher, who have been both stationed at Petawawa Army Camp, have been trans- ferred to Camp Borden. They spent the past week -end in Zur- ich with their parents.

Well, the school board did everything they were asked to do, drilled wells, installed automatic furnaces, flush toilets and still these officials are not satisfied. After spending all this money on 13 schools, they want us to scrap them. They tt°ill even go so far as to offer us money- to close these schools, There are places perhaps where central schools are practical but not here in Western Ontario where we are. What we need more than anything is a better grade of teachers. The Ontario government says they have to raise taxes again. Well, if they would stop spending money on central schools, perhaps they could lower taxes." This ends that article. But last week we got some other news. From a convention at British Columbia someone brought in a motion to out -law all morning devotions in all the schools in British Columbia. Well, it seems they have their slhool troubles there, too. Now someone could say nothing like that could come here, but that has already happened at Toron- to, but we don't believe it will become law in Canada for some time yet. But let us not forget that those people will come back again to try it again, the old slogan is "if you don't suc- ceed try and try again". You know I ani not a Cath- olic, but I am sure they will not try it on the Catholic school, because I think they are well prepared for it .around this part of Ontario. But not so the Protestants. Well, there are a few in Ontario that are private schools, which can't be stopped from their morning devotions, Of course, we all know that it is out-lawed in the U.S.A., and there are people who say that those who want to have morning devotions out-lawed are very re- ligious people, and they sure are, but we must never forget that those people that had the Lord crucified some 1000 yearn ago, also were the most sincere and religious people the world has ever known. But you say they are all dead, yes, but that spirit is still with us and they still brand that Lord that gave us that beauti- ful Lord's prayer as an im- postor, Now we are also made to wonder how many people have ever thought what might have happened if that law that they tried to pass at Toronto a few THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1964 weeks ago might have changed conditions in Ontario.
