Plans Meeting With

Council Liaison Committee
from the Huron County Board
of Education consists of vice-
chairman John Broadfoot, Dr.
A.B. Deathe and Mrs. Warren

concerning matters of mutual
concern.

discussions will centre around
the library facilities in the
county. During February 8's

expressed a desire to work with
the County Council on the
question of libraries. Dr. Death(

two separate library systems
in the county - one for the
schools and one for the public.
He said he felt library service
could be co-ordinated for the
betterment of all.
Dr. Deathe also recommended
that no library building projects
be undertaken at any of the
schools in Huron County until
it was decided whether or not
the county school board and
county council could co-oper-
ate on a library venture.
Mrs. Zinn was also appointed
to attend the Ontario Institute
for Studies in Education Work-
shop next month in Windsor,
providing accommodation is
still available. Mrs. Zinn told
the board she was particularly
interested in the aspect of moral
and religious education in the
schools and said she would en-
large on her feelings during

attendance.
