Ted Geoffrey reported on a
one -day Architectural Services
Workshop which he and Michael
Connolly attended at Bluevale
Collegiate Institute in Waterloo,
Ed Rowland, Co-ordinator,
attended as well. Mr. Geoffrey
said they received many ideas
on saving energy -heating, etc.
as well as suggestions as to what
to watch out for in roof repairs,
construction and related areas.
Jack Lane, Business Adminis-
trator, was authorized to attend
the 20th annual meeting of the
Ontario Separate School Busin-
ess Officials' Association in
Toronto, April 2 and 3.
Michael Connolly and Ted
Geoffrey will attend the Ontario
Committee for Education meet-
ing to be held in Brantford on
April 21.
A letter of congratulations is
to be sent to Ed Rowland's son,
Michael, of R.R.1, Dublin, •
who placed first in the senior
elementary section of the
Royal Canadian Legion District
C Public speaking contest in
Harriston on March 3. He will
advance to a competition in
Collingwood on March 17.
The board turned down on a
9-3 vote a request from Terry
Craig, a teacher at St. James
Separate School in Seaforth, to
send out a geographical statist-
ical survey to parents in St.
Columban and St. Patrick's
School, Dublin, with the stud-
ents taking the questionaire
home to their parents. Mr.
Craig indicated in his letter to
the board the statistics were
required in the Geography Cou-
rse he was taking at Laurier
University, Waterloo.
While the board members
agreed the survey was harmless,
trustee David Teahen suggested
that Mr. Craig should•mail out
the questionaire himself, rather
than involve the board.
The Regional Director of
Education in Kitchener reported
to the Board that it could rec-
eive an allocation from Capital
Aid of 360,000 (Category B)
for such projects as extensions
of education services - -such as
resource centres, gymnasiums,
as long as there is a proven neec
that will meet Ministry of Ed-
ucation approval. This proposal
was handed over the the Build-
ing and Maintenance Commit-
tee to consider and report back
the the board for approval.

teachers, and that Tom Wells
has undermined the autonomy
of local school boards and has
succeeded in politicizing teach-
ers as never before in history,"
"Mr. Wells' policies have
caused unprecendented disrupt-
ions in teachers' contract neg-
otiations and he has lost his
credibility as Minister of
Education, " he said.
The Liberals oppose many
of the Bill's provisions and will
work to make changes in the
legislature, Mr. Riddell assured
his audience. He supports
keeping teacher -board negot-
iation a local concern, and
rejects the idea of having
principals and teachers in sep-
arate federations. Mx. Riddell
said working conditions and
jobs security should be negot-
iable in teacher -board contracts
Commenting on Mr. Riddell's
advice about teachers needing
to work for more public support,
James Carey, of London, a
past president of OECTA who
attended the dinner meeting,
said his association gives this
priority. He said teachers have
to let parents know they have a
professional service to offer to
the community. "For too long
teachers have done whatever
is asking of them, he said.
"Education is a service in
which working conditions and
wages are important."
Mr. Carey said that parents
should be more involved in the
education process to ensure
that responsible people run for
board positions. He also said he
would strongly support school
board meetings open to the
public, perhaps held on a rot-
ating basis in various schools, "
And the ratepayers should see
that they attend the meetings.
No one works well in a vac-
uum, " he added.

Village of Hensall - Auditor's Report - 1973
January 22, 1974
TO: The Members of Council, Inhabitants and Ratepayers.
We have examined the 1973 Financial Statement of the Corporation of
the Village of Hensall and its local boards, which are listed on the
attached index. Our examination included a general review of the
accounting procedures and such test of accounting records and other
supporting evidence as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
In our opinion these financial statements present fairly the financ-
ial position of the Village of Hensall and its local boards as at
December 31st, 1973, and the results of their operations for the
year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted for Ontario municipalities applied on a basis consistent
with that of the preceding year.
