RCSB Board approve contract
(by Wilma Oke)
The Huron -Perth County
Roman Catholic Separate
School Board approved a three-
year contract (1974-77) with
their custodians at a meeting
in Seaforth Monday night.
Following a board meeting
that lasted about four hours,
almost half of which was in
committee -of -the- whole,
Michael Connolly, of R. R, 3,
Kippers, chairman of the board,
and Harry Hak, Seaforth, chair-
man of the custodians' negotiat-
ing committee, handed the
press representative at the
meeting the following report:
A full time custodian will
receive an increase from
$6, 900 to $7, 600 in the first
year 1974-75 which equals 11.13
per cent; second year 1975-76
which equals 8.36 per cent;
and third year 1976-77 which
equals 7.79 per cent.
Hospital and Group Insurance
was increased from 66 2/3 to
75 per cent.
A cost -of -living allowance
is to be paid once annually
based on the Consumer Price
Index.
In other business a request
from Mrs. Diane DeWinter,
secretary of the newly formed
Goderich Canadian Parent
Teacher Association that the
board's minutes be more avail-
able than they are at the pres-
ent time, was discussed.
Joseph Looby of Dublin asked
what Mrs. DeWinter meant by
"More available': He wondered
if it might mean rather than
through the press. He asked if
the minutes were mailed and
was informed that there was a
set charge per page for such
copies.
Mr. Connolly said he hoped
to attend the next C.P.T.A.
meeting in G oderich and would
find out what the Association
wanted.
The board supported a request
from the newly formed Goder-
ich Area Consumers' Association,
to carry out a survey on school
lunches of students from Grades
6-13 before June 15 in Goderich
and Clinton area schools.
John Vintar, Superintendent
of Education, said the Con-
sumers' Association would be
making a report to the federal
government. Francis Hicknell,
R. R. 5, Seaforth, asked that a
report should be requested for
the school board.
The board granted a request
for the three children of the
Singh family to attend St.
Joseph's School in Stratford
beginning September 3. It was
noted that while the family is
non-Catholic it will be necess-
ary for the children to attend
all classes including those on
religion.

OBITUARY
REV, J. McCAULEY
A resident of Bluewater Rest
Home, Rev. Josiah Elmer
McCauley passed away at rlie
Home on Monday, May 27, in
his 90th year.
Ile is survivied by one daugh-
ter, Mrs. William B. (Elizab-
eth) Wadds, R,R.1, London,;
one sister, Mrs. R,J, Bell,
Hanover. There are also four
grandchildren and two great
grandchildren.
Funeral service was held in
Pt. Elgin Baptist Church, on
Wednesday, at 2 p.m. with
interment in Tara Cemetery.
Westlake Funeral lime, Zurich,
were in charge of funeral arr-
angements.
Mr. Teahen said he was sat-
isfied that it was not the local
eporter who was at fault, but
in the rewriting of the accounts
by the daily papers. Mr. Tea -
hen referred specifically to the
last board meeting when a
motion was passed to advertise
for a supervisory officer and
another motion for a special
educational consultant. He poin•
ted out the Free Press incorrect-
ly reported: "A proposal to ap-
point a supervisory officer has
been approved" and the Beacon
used correctly "to advertise for
a supervisory officer and a
special education consultant" in
first paragraph and in the fifth
paragraph incorrectly used
"approved hiring" and both
used incorrect headings.
Howard Shantz, Stratford,
said he agreed with Teahen's
complaint, and added that his
request that "my name be in
recorded vote as not supporting
a supervisory officer" was not
followed as neither paper men-
tioned the recorded votes.
