Keller) The Huron County Board of Education is only about two and one-half years old and already, there are accommodation prob- lems looming. It was learned at last Tuesday evening's board of eduction meeting in Clinton that sp ace at the former nurses' residence in Clinton is not sufficient to house the present board of educ- tion administration staff and be- fore too long, additional accom- modation will be required to house the newly engaged psychol- ogist, psychometrist, possibly three others to be affiliated with the special education program for Huron as well as possible additional clerical staff. The board of Clinton Public Hospital advised the board of education for Huron that it is not interested in evicting other ten- ents presently occupying office space in the building, building an addition to the premises or selling it. To add even more urgency to the quest for new quarters, the board of education's lease is up in the former nurses' residence July 1, 1971. A month to month rental arrangement will be satis- factory to the Clinton Public Hospital board but the rent has been increased from $2700 per annum to $3600 per annum. and after the first of July, the board of education will be required to give four month's notice before moving out. Director of education D. J. Cochrane outlined steps which have been taken to locate alter- nate accommodation in the Clinton area. Spence Cummings, the county development officer at CFB Clinton was contacted concerning possible space at the former air force base and a letter was subsequently received from Hon. C . S. MacNaughton sug- gesting that facilities at CFB Clinton would very likely be available to the board. The Ontario Development Corporat- ion officials even agreed to arrange for a tour of the base to see the accommodation available before the announcement of the federal government's decision to put a hold on the closure of CFB Clinton was made. "Maybe we were too small a deal, " reported Clarence McDonald, Exeter, chairman of the committee in charge of office accommodation who also advised that between ten and twelve thousand square feet of space was needed. "The government works slowly but Ontario Hydro is in there now and I think the door is open; continued McDonald. "I think we should push a little harder in Toronto and Ottawa." "If 10, 000 square feet is too small it would indicate they're not too anxious to find tenents, " stated Chairman Bob Elliott. rSt. Joseph - Drysdale - B'luewater ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS PAGE FIVE 1E 6000 MAW CORRESPONDENTS THERESA JEFFREY 23G4159 News Along The Shore of Beautiful Lake Huron Mr. and Mrs. Philip Sopha; .Mr. and Mrs. Regie Bedard of Windsor; Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Sopha and Mr. and Mrs. Udell Sopha, of Detroit were recent visitors at the home of Mr. Dolph Sopha.
