less this year than last year. Rea-
son given by R. McVean for the
improved prices was the great
amount of competition displayed
for the contracts.
Mrs. Mildred MacGregor has
been engaged as a full-time teach
er for Huron Hope School at Cent-
ralia for the coming year. In-
creased enrolment at the school
for the retarded in that area of the
county has necessitated the eng-
agement of Mrs. MacGregor who
served only on a part-time basis
last year. The principal of the
school is Mrs. Scott.
Reports were received from
all three of the county's schools
for the retarded.
"I think the board should com-
mend these dedicated teachers, "
said Mrs. Marion Zinn.
"Their enthusiasm fairly pops
out from the reports here before
us."
In other business, the board
planned a dinner for the Young
Voyageurs from Manitoba who
will visit in Huron from July 29
to August 6; learned that R, T,
McBride Ltd., Stratford was the
successful bidder for the contract
to complete the heating renovat-
ions at South Huron District High
School at a cost of $41, 769;
approved the fuel oil tenders of
Sunoco for all schools in Huron
County with the exception of one
which goes to Sterling Fuels;
turned a request for a Seaforth
High School student to attend
Central Huron back to the transp-
ortation committee for further
study; and hired two teachers,
Mrs. Dorothy Brown for guidance
one day per week at Brookside
School, and Mrs. Brenda Holland
as an itinerant guidance teacher
for six schools.
F, rom my window
Do you know the old saying
"I love my wife but oh, you
kids?" Maybe when I finish this
column you will have some idea
why that phrase keeps running
round and round in my addled
brain.
Remember that house trailer
I was telling you about a while
ago? The one with the steaming
galley that was a Mother's Day
offering from my family?
Well, that trailer is neatly
parked at this very moment in a
great little trailer camp not too
far from our home. In less than
half an hour, we can drive from
our traffic -molested villa on a
super highway to the seclusion
and sanctity of our be -pined
hideaway.
At least it used to be a hide-
away. The owner of the camp is
a decent sort of a fellow in many
respects but his ability to enforce
a guest quota regulation which
he himself drew up is practically
nil. Let me explain.
Not long ago my husband and
I had both experienced a beastly
week at our respective jobs. At
the best of times our work is
gruelling and disappointing but
that week, things had been less
tolerable than normal.
We fled to our trailer with
one thought in mind- to rest and
to refuel ourselves with courage
for the following week.
At noon, just after I'd prepar-
ed an intimate little luncheon
for spouse and me, our friendly
gatekeeper admitted a carload
of family members who promptly
devoured our sandwiches.
A few moments later when the
platter had been emptied and
refilled a number of times, the

other batch of relatives to our
wheeled home.
Twice more before the even-
ing repas was due to be prepared
and eaten, that renegrade regist-
rar with the lightning pencil
gave permission for two more
carloads of family members to
hike down Cedar Lane.
A quick count revealed there
were 13 adults and 15 children to
feed at the sound of the dinner
bell.
I feebly questioned the gate -

"That must be some shindig
you planned, " he said, peering
with some degree of longing at
the trible table of hungry guests.
The dishes were hardly washed
and restored on the shelves when
the big-hearted gate tender clos-
ed his eyes while yet another
parcel of visitors made their way
to our popular oasis in the middle
of nowhere.
By this time, some of our
guests were packing up to go
home, others were hunting for
lost youngsters and elusive towels
and bathing suits and still more
were behaving in a manner which
strongly indicated hunger pangs
were surfacing again.
As the last guest left that
evening, I spoke to my bene-
factor at the gate.
"I thought you advertised cont-

He hadn't bothered to get their

mull over in my throbbing head.
A bit of detective work and a
