As a bequest from a former resident of Exeter, two new valuable scholarships will be awarded at South Huron District High School annually. They will be awarded to the outstand- ing graduates of the high school who intend to proceed from SHDHS to university studies, each year. Donor of the gift is the late Coleman Moncur, who lived in Exeter for a short time about 50 or 60 years ago. He was a pharmacist in Peterborough at the time of his death. The present value of these scholarships may be as high as $2000. and they shall be award- ed to one boy and one girl stud- ent of South Huron District High School, who is the opinion of the Scholarship Committee are the outstanding students, academ ically, within each year's sen- ior class. Where the Scholarship Committee shall be empowered to make two awards each being of the value of one half of the normal award. The recipients must be gradu- ates of South Huron Distrcit High School's final year of stud- ies and have, normally, comp- leted their high school studies in the usual number of years In calculating the basis of the award the grade shall be derived from the grades accruing fol- lowing the completion of a norm• al load of courses as defined by the regulations currently in effect and by the Principal of South Huron District High School. Subjects taken in environ- ments other than the regular day sessions of South Huron District High School shall not be considered in the calculat- ion of the basis for the award, Where a course is repeated, the lower obtained mark shall be used in calculations. Once the recipient has been nominated he shall be requested to notify the trustees Of the scholarship of the program at university to which he has been admitted and the duration of that program. The award shall then be so segmented as to be paid in equal parts, each part being paid following the recip- Hay Township Council Awards Contract A number of tenders and applications were dealt with by the council of the Township of Hay at their regular monthly meeting last week. The tender of R. H. Jennison, Grand Bend, for the supply, crushing and hauling of 22, 000 cubic yards of gravel at $1. 89 per yard, was accepted. The contract is subject to approval of the Department of Highways. A road budget of $36,100 for construction and $93, 400 for maintenance for the year 1971 was approved by council, sub- ject to approval by the Depart- ment of Highways. Road Superintendent Karl Haberer was given authority to attend the C , S, Anderson Road School in Guelph, later this spring. In other business at the meet- ing, council accepted the tend- er of William Watson for the spraying of cattle for warble fly, at a rate of 15¢ per head for each application. Vincent Doyle was appointed as warble fly inspector, at a rate of $2.00 per hour, and 10¢ per mile. Falling in line with a recent instructive from the Department of Public Welfare, a previous motion appointing reeve Joseph Hoffman as welfare administrator was rescinded, and a new mot- ion was passed appiiinting the clerk, Wayne C. Horner, to this position. An order was sent out to all municipalities some time ago, asking that elected officials not serve in this cap- acity. A grant of $100 was approved for the Zurich Minor Athletic Association to assist in their work with minor sports in the community. Since the Hay F'ederation of Agriculture has been re -organ- ized, council approved return- ing $118.53 to the organization. This money had been turned over to the Township when the federation disbanded some time ago, and the council felt it was only right to return the money to them now. They also approved returning $200 of a $500 grant made to the Town- ship at the same time, for the use of steps at the Hay Park. Since the steps have never been built, the council felt the org- anization could probably make good use of the money. The council also approved allowing the Hay Federation group free use of the Township Hall for their meetings. ient's registration in each suc- cessive year of his studies. Where the academic perform- ance of the student is such as to prohibit his progression within his defined program the balance of the award shall be forfeit and be placed to the credit of the scholarship fund. Where a student in good ac- ademic standing changes his program at university prior to his graduation he shall petition the Scholarship Committee to re -apportion the balance of the award remaining to his credit and this shall be done bearing in mind the effect of the apport- ionment on funds available to the student through other sources, The scholarship committee will consist of the principal, vice principal, guidance head and any other staff members named by the principal, the committee will announce the names of the winners in June of each year. 0 London Candidate Speaks To Group Of Huron NDP (by Mrs. Gwen Pemberton) Dr. Charles Bigelow, Provinc- ial NDP candidate in the London North Riding addressed a meet- ing of the Huron New Democrat- ic Party at Saltford Valley Hall on March 3. His subject was "Organizing a Successful Elect- ion Campaign" - one on which he was able to speak with auth- ority. He has shared in three recent campaigns, two of them successful and the third a near win. The wins were those of Kenneth Bolton, successful NDP candidate in a Provincial by- election in Middlesex South and of Jane Bigelow, his wife. Jane, a Vice President of the Ontario New Democratic Party, was elected to the London Board of Control on her first try. Charlie is convinved that as organizer of Alec Richmond's campaign in the last Federal election in Middlesex East, he could have won that one too if he had "gone out on a limb" and spent about $2, 000 more than his budget. "Don't worry too much, if you end up with some debt. It keeps your organization alive to have to get out of the red, and the NDP is noted for paying its bills." "However, money is not the main factor in winning, " he emphasized - "it's a well org- anized campaign and a dedicat- ed group of supporters who will go out and canvass the riding to get the NDP message to the individual voter by word of mouth and with good literature to tell the NDP story." He outlined the steps by which a winning campaign is developed and advised as to the best way to spend campaign money, "which, we have learn- ed to accept, comes mostly from our own pockets." Business of the meeting incl- uded a report from Herb Klopp, (continued on page 10)
