A courier service will be initiated by the Huron County Board of Education for the school term September '1, 1973 to June 30, 1974. The tender for Earl Young of Wingham was accepted by the Board at its meeting Monday afternoon, it was the lowest of twelve tenders received. Mr. Young will carry mail, films, packages from the main administrative office in Clinton to and between the various schools in Huron. This need for the courier service was preci- pitated when the need arose for a way to distribute films to the schools when the Department of Education informed the Boards of Education it would no longer dispatch them.

A policy review committee report on Procedures for Board meetings (by-laws) was set over until the September meeting. Amended policies and proced- ures were adopted for three pol- icies; administration time for elementary school principals -- all teachers, including principal: relief teacher, are to be hired in accordance with one policy; authority to approve field trips and excursions --the Board should not amend any requests, but either approve as presented or refer back with a recommend- ation; wilful damage to school property --compensation by pupils --it was the feeling of the Board that the procedure for this policy should include provis- ion for involvement of local law enforcement agencies when damage is of a serious nature and that the Director of Educ- Will control wrecks Stanley Township lived up to their promise of last month and passed a new by-law last week o control abandoned vehicles in the township.

(continued on page 9) s s e®ba':e. Almost 1, 000 more people than last year sat down to a meal of delicious home -baked beans on Saturday, at the eighth annual Bean Festival in Zurich. Coleslaw and ham were served with the plate of beans -- all for only one dollar, and this seemed to meet the faucy of most visitors in the face of increasing food costs. About one and a half tons of white beans, 600 gallons of ket- chup, 600 pounds of brown sugar, 100 pounds of salt, 800 pounds of bacon and over a ton of ham were used in the preparation of the meal. There were also 400 loaves of bread served and about 40 crates of cabbage made into coleslaw. Most of the cooking of beans was done in advance of the big day, and a group,of women worked hard the day before the festival preparing the cabbage for coleslaw. The white beans were dontated for the event by the Ontario Bean Marketing Board, Cook's Division of Gerb- ro Corp; the Hensall District Co -Operative and W. G. Thomp- son and Sons Ltd., all of Hensall 15¢ per copy 1 The latter three are the mills which handle the bulk of the white bean crop in the area. A London firm, W. G. Coles and Son, through Ian Coles, donated the biggest part of the brown sugar used in the process. The H.J. Heinz Company also co- operated in the supply of ketchup. Earlier in the day, about 600 visitors were fed with pancake and sausage breakfast, served by members of the Zurich Minor Athletic Association. As soon as the pancake breakfast ended, the menu switched right over to beans. And for those nor so keen on baked beans, there were outlets serving hot dogs, sandwiches, pizzas and home -baked pies. Jams, jellies, and a variety of homecraft items were sold at numerous booths situated on the various main streets of the vill- age. Several blocks were closed off to traffic for the day. Pork, the bean's traditional counterpart, was displayed in a slightly more sophisticated form than found in baked beans.
