RC school projects delayed
(by Wilma Oke)
Workmen are busy complet-
ing the additions and renovat-
ions to St. Aloysius School in
Stratford and Holy Name of
Mary School in St. Marys before
classes begin the new school
term on September 4.
Howard Shantz, Stratford,
chairman of the ad hoc com-
mittee on building projects,
reported at a meeting of the
Huron -Perth County Roman
Catholic Separate School in
Seaforth Monday night that
there are still quite a number
of rooms to finish at St. Aloy-
sius.
Its "quite a problem" he said,
as he detailed all the work to
be completed in construction,
decorating and furnishing the
$202, 000 addition at St. Aloy-
sius.
Mr. Shantz expressed the hope
that the school would be made
ready for the pupils, even if
all the work was not completed.
Gordon Ball, St. Marys,
a member of the ad hoc com-
mittee on building projects,
reported on the situation at
Holy Name of Mary School. He
said work had slowed during the
past two weeks, putting every-
thing behind schedule.
Mr. Bali reported that the
workmen were now making prog-
ress in the work on the $315,000
addition. "I don't think every-
thing will be finished when
school starts. There are a lot of
small jobs to be done, and a lot
of cleaning, " he said as he out-
lined the work still to be done.
Mr. Ball said he is hopeful
that the furnishings will be put
back in the rooms next week.
He stated that the builder is
making every effort "to have as
much work done as possible
Costumes highlight fun day at playground
so that the teachers will not be
inconvenienced too much."
John Vintar, Superintendent
of Education, told the board
members that an in-service
program for 22 teachers will
be held in St. James' School,
Seaforth on speech disorders
from August 27-31. The lectur-
er will be Dr. S. Tuomi, Ass-
istant Professor, Faculty of
Medicine, University of Western
Ontario.
Mr. Vintar said a survey on
speech and hearing facilities in
South- Western Ontario is to be
held. It will deal with early
detection and general prevent-
ive methods of speech and hear-
ing problems. It will consider
development and articulation
problems; deviations in langu-
age development; and it will
deal with specific voice prob-
lems such as cleft palate, hard
of hearing, stuttering, therapy,
etc.
Taxi service will be used to
provide transportation for one
kindergarten pupil to Precious
Blood School in Exeter. Last
year the rate for this was 75
cents a day.
Trustee francis Hicknell,
R. R. 5, Seaforth, and Oscar
Kieffer, R. R. 1 Bluevale, both
on the transportation commit-
tee, were authorized to make
satisfactory arrangements for
transporting school children
.from several new families in
Fullarton and Grey Townships
to the nearest separate schools.
Two new separate school zones
are being formed in the Brus-
sels and Blyth areas by Ed Row -
]and of the Seaforth board off-
ice.
Jack Lane, Business Adminis-
trator, reported the current int-
erest rate as 8k per cent, This
is an increase of 2k per cent
more than was budgeted for by
the board.
Mr. Vintar read three letters
from the office of Hon. Gerard
Pelletier, Minister of Comm-
unications; Bill Jarvis, M. P.
Perth -Wilmot; and R.E. Mc-
Kinley, M.P. Huron, in reply
to letters sent them saying the
Huron -Perth Board supports the
private members Bill C143 (Dan
McKenzie, PC from Manitoba).
This bill will, if passed, give
school boards a free hand with-
out cost, in the use of education-
al material produced, or leased
by the CBC. If the Bill passes
there will be an immediate and
potential saving to school boards.
Mr. Vintar also read a letter
from Ellard Lange, chairman
of Area Planning and Develop-
ment committee, reporting a
study of the future needs of
Perth municipalities (including
Stratford and St. Marys) in
terms of the services such mun-
icipalities might be expected
to provide their inhabitants
over the period up to 1981.
