Accomodation May Be Scarce when September Arrives With tinne advancing and no construction yet under way, the Hay Township School Area Board is becoming concerned about what to do with all the children when September rolls around. At the present time, there is little indication that the additions at Hensall and Zurich schools will be completed in time for the fall season. At their board meeting last Wednesday night, they request- ed architect Howard Falls to contact Frank Van Bussell Con- struction Company to obtain a price for leaving the old sec- tion of school in Zurich stand- ing until the construction of the new addition' allows for its demolition. In this way, there would not be as great a short- age of accommodation in Zur- ich. Sign Contract The chairman and secretary of the board were authorized to sign a contract with Zurich Builders' Supply for the addi- tion at the Hensall school. Work is scheduled to commence in Hensall within the next few days. Meanwhile, approval from the Municipal Assistance Branch is still needed before the addition at Zurich can get under way. This approval is expected within a matter of days. Plans For September The following plans were mapped out by the board for the September opening: Kindergarten classes will be- gin in Zurich for the first time, Crop Report Dry conditions exist over most of the county but scattered showers did, however, satisfy some areas as to immediate moisture requirements. Crops suffering the most are white beans, flax and late spring - sown grain crops. Haying is progressing rapid- ly with a below average crop. Several bean fields have been hit with seed corn rn a g g o t. However, this damage is mostly over and beans will likely make recovery by rooting above in- jured roots. There is some cut- worm injury in corn fields— these are more noticeable be- cause of slow growth of crops. The overall crop picture in the county is favorable. in September. Pupils in the east end of Hay Township School Area will be put into graded classrooms in Hensa 11 school, as well as schools No. 2, 3 and 10, until the completion of the Hensall addition. Then all these chil- dren will be moved to Hensall. Pupils from section 15 will be transported to Zurich and incorporated in the seven rooms and kindergarten at the Zurich school. Call Tenders In other business the board agreed to call tenders for the transportation of about 120 pu- pils to the Hensel] school. The secretary was instructed to ad- vise Raymond Kading and Har- old Hendrick that their services on bus routes will no longer be required after June 30. The board also made plans to hold a social evening for all their teachers on the evening of June 29. Hensall Spring FIr Produces Best Coif Clue Show hi Many Yeas A large crowd and ideal 1 weather conditions combined their efforts last Wednesday night to make the 78th annual Hensall Spring Fair the best in the history of the organization.
