Detroit Hockey
Star Visits Kids
At lions Dinner
Larry Jeffrey, star forward
with the Detroit Red Wings dur-
ing the past hockey season, was
a special guest Monday night
when the Zurich Lions enter-
tained members of the Bantam
and Midget hockey teams which
they sponsored this season.
During the program part of the
meeting. Larry presented crests
and photos to members of the
Midget team. which won the
WOAA title.
In introducing Larry to the
gathering. Don O'Brien pointed
out that although he has lived
in Goderich all his life, he was
born at Zurich, and so the
people in this area are just as
proud of him as the lakesiders
are.
During a question and answer
period, some of the boys fired
questions at Larry such as,
what do you think of Eddie
Shaddick," "who is the best
player in the NHL". and "what
is it Iike at training camps."
Larry stressed the point to
the young hopefuls that physi-
cal condition is the most im-
portant part of being a big.
leaguer, and told them how he
runs a mile every night for a
month before training starts.
Another question asked Larry
was "what his greatest thrill in
hockey has been." To this he
answered that scoring the over.
time goal in the second game
of the series against Toronto
was probably as big a thrill as
anyone could wish for.
A presentation was also made
by the Detroit star to Gary
Geoffrey. of the Robin Hood
trophy. for being selected as
the most valuable player in the
minor hockey set-up locally.
The guest was thanked by
Herb Turkheim, and presented
with a gift on behalf of the
Zurich Club.
Other guests at the dinner
were Bob Jeffrey, of Goderich,

Propose Vocational Addition To
South Huron District High School
A proposal by the South Hur-
on Secondary School Board, to
build a modified vocational ad-
dition to its school at Exeter,
has met with approval by all
four secondary school boards
sending vocational students to
the Central Huron Secondary
School. A meeting was held
last Wednesday night at which
John Levis, chairman of the
Clinton board, presided. Ap-
proval came only after four and
a half hours' discussion of the
proposal, and after the Clinton
board had taken an hour's re-
cess to reconsider an earlier
decision its members had
agreed upon.
It is expected that with Ex-
eter's expansion, the overcrowd-
ing that has, existed in the vo-
cational department of the Clin-
ton school since its opening last
September will be releived. It
is also hoped that it will save
the Clinton board a new capital
47/ties keek
and Nit
By RAY ARGYLE
Thousands of mainland Cana-
dians are discovering Prince
Edward Island this year. The
Island—as residents call it -is
setting the stage for the 1967
Centennial by marking this year
the 100th anniversary of the
Confederation Conference of
1864. I flew there last week
to see what was afoot.
It is a stirring emotional ex-
perience to stand in the room
in which John A. Macdonald
and other delegates from Can-
ada presented to Maritime rep-
resentative their proposal for 'a
Confederation of all the British
colonies of North America,
The Canadian hadn't been in-
vited to the conference, as we
all should remember from our
history books. The Maritimers
were meeting to talk about an
Atlantic union, but it took little
persuasion to bend the Char-
lottetown Conference in favor
of a union from the Atlantic to
the Great Lakes.
The delegates adjourned to
meet a few weeks later in Que-
bec City when final resolutions
were approved for the British
North America Act which on its
passage by •the British parlia-
ment brought Canada into ex-
istence on July 1, 1867.
To commemorate the first
conference, an imposing Fathers
of Confederation Memorial
Building has been erected in
Charlottetown at a cost of five
and one-half million dollars. It
includes a modern 1,200 -seat
theatre, are gallery, archives
and meeting halls. It sits next
to the old provincial buildings,
where the deeply -rutted con-
crete steps leading into the
building and the original con-
ference room bear testimony to
the thousands of feet which
:have trod in the footsteps of
the Fathers of Confederation in
the past century.
The Memorial Building is
basically a cultural centre and
it was opened with the Domin-
ion Drama Festival at which
amateur play groups from all
parts of the country performed,
Because Prince Edward
Island has a population of only
105,000 with little industry
other than farming and fishing,
the cost was shared by all 10
provincial governments and Ot-
tawa. As a result, every Cana-
dian has a 30 cent share in the
structure.
It might be wondered why
such an elaborate building
should be erected in isolated
Prince Edward Island. To me,
R is a sign of Canada's coming
of age—that we at last feel
strongly enough about our heri-
tage and our cultural values to
sink hard cash into this kind
of a project.
The Island draws thousands
of tourists each year, and I pre-
dict it will draw more in the
future. For those who haven't
been there, I can only say it's
an emerald island, mainly pas-
toral, but with beautiful beach-
es, warm ocean 'water, rich red
soil, striking green meadows
and interesting towns. Char-
lottetown, the capital, has only
18,000 people and the other
main town, Summerside, has
less than 9,000.
Politically, the Island is wor-
ried about the tendency of the
richer provinces to assert great-
er autonomy in fiscal affairs.
Its Conservative premier, the
vigorous 75 -year-old Walter
Shaw, is worried that the Island
will lose out on federal assis-
tance. This is a fear shared
by many provincial premiers
who are unsure of where the
path of Ottawa's new "co -opera.
Live federalism" will lead Can-
ada.
outlay in at least the immediate
future.
Attending the meeting, along
with the members from the
secondary school boar ds of
Goderich, Seaforth, Exeter, and
Clinton, were W. T. Laing, Lon-
don, chief high school inspector
for Western Ontario, and H. W.
Beatty, London, shop inspector
of secondary schools for West-
ern Ontario.
New Agreement
The present agreement, call-
ing for 15 per cent of the send-
ing schools' total enrolment to
attend the Clinton school, will
be amended by the Clinton
board for Exeter. Exeter will
be required to guarantee five
per cent in the event that the
Clinton enrolment drops below
1,200 between September, 1965,
(when Exeter expects to have
its proposed addition ready),
and the conclusion of the orig-
inal agreement in 1972.
Prior to May 13, when the
Exeter board requested the
meeting, the Clinton board was
studying a -'vocational addition
to the Central Huron Secondary
School. Since January, mem-
bers had realized that with the
projected enrolment showing a
great increase something would
have to be done. The board
was discussing with the other
boards whether it would be
better to build an addition to
accommodate 340 pupils, or a
larger addition for 540 pupils.
The Exeter board was plan-
ning an academic addition, and
had an architect engaged. How-
ever, D. W. Scott,London, sec-
ondary school inspector for the
area, advised the board that it
was no longer profitable to send
students to Clinton as it had
been. The indication is that
there will be a change in the
grant structure in this regard,
Exeter's secondary school pop-
ulation by 1968 will be around
the 1,000 mark, Many of the
pupils from Stephen Township,
the most populous district in
the school area,now ride 100
miles a day to take vocational
training at Clinton,
E e x e t e r board members,
through their chairman, Ken-
neth Johns of Woodham, ex-
plained that they have to build
in any case, and that they can
build a vocational addition at
less cost to the taxpayer than
an academic addition. The pro-
posed addition for Exeter will
cost $700,000, and after grants
of 75 per cent are received, only
$175,000 will have to be raised
by local levy. The proposed ad-
dition will include three shops
and two commercial rooms, one
new science room, four class.
rooms (academic), and an ad-
dition to the cafeteria and kit-
chen. The board will be unable
to provide occupations or such
limited and expensive fields as
machine shops and accounting.
