School Trips Will
Continue Despite
Recent Drownings
Due to the recent tragedy at
the Parkhill Conservation area
when two girls from South Huron
District High School were drown-
ed regulations have been set for
camping trips.
John Cochrane, director of
education for Huron County has
advised all schools that trips
and excursions would continue as
in the past with the following
regulations in effect.
a. Parents are to be advised
of all field trips. If the trip is
outside the hours of nine a.m.
to four p.m., consent forms are
to be signed by parents.
b. When school field trips take
students away from the school
for more than three hours at a
time, the Board of Education
office is to be notified.
c. No free time or no swim-
ming during school field trips.
d. Close supervision of the
class by teachers so that every
precaution against accidents is
taken.
Mr. Cochrane said these pol-
icies would be in effect until
the Huron County Board has time
to form definite procedures.

because they are familiar and
seemingly harmless. Children
are their most common victims.

is to teach your children never
