Kinkead, Inspector for schools in North Huron, was gues speaker at the May meeting of th Home & School Association. The meeting opened with "The King' and two numbers by the senior choral group of the public school with Miss M. E. Turnbull conduct ing, and Mrs. J. A. Stewart as ac- companist. Mrs. W. T. Tea11, presi dent, announced in the absence o D. N. Eastman, that Open Hous Friday evening, May 18, would commence at 7:30 p.m. F. E. Willis, chairman of the School Board, in introducing Mr. Kinkead, credited him with being instrumental in assisting Seaforth get a new much-needed public school. Mr. Kinkead, in his open- ing remarks, stated it has been a pleasure to work with the board .here, and was pleased to know they were soon to have a dream come true. He congratulated the school choir, stating that Seaforth excels in music. Having had considerable experi- ence in .Home and School Club work for several years in Toronto, he spoke with experience as he spoke on the work of the club, its duties, purpose and difficulties. He stated, "Such a club is organized for a purpose, which is the com- mon welfare of the boys and girls, of the community. Its purpose is to co-operate and help the school board and bring more closely to- gether the pupil, parent and teach- er, and to help iron out difficulties or misunderstandings between the ratepayers and the board, and the ratepayers and. the staff." He con- tinued: "Difficulties almost always disappear and there is no longer a problem when differences are talk- ed over." t e He said he felt the greatest dif- ficulties today are the changes made in the course of study and the method of -teaching the same, in comparison to the time when the child's parents went to ,school.! The task facing Home and i School clubs is to do everything possible to bring in all the par- ents. He continued: "The school board is the mouthpiece of the ratepayers, so it is the duty of all on election day to vote for board members you feel would do the best job. "The board has already over-,} come a huge obstacle in that a new school is promised and in the of- fing, but they will have other ob-, s•tacles, and the Home and School Club must help them." He outlined several topics which the association could possibly use for future meetings: Why teach certain subjects in such -and -such a' manner; talk over how schools are financed; the special child, the difficult, meek or overly clever child; guidance programs; music night; open night; an open day, when parents could see the actual! workings of the school. pupils and teachers at work; a meeting at which the men put on the program and serve lunch. In his concluding remarks he compared the modern method of teaching English and reading in comparison with the method used in the parents' day. He wished the club every possible success and advised them to never become dis- appointed, and to look forward Since Thursday, May 24, will be a public holiday, The Huron Expositor will be published one day earlier, and the publishers would appreciate the co-opera- tion of advertisers and cor- respondents by sending their copy in as early as possible' in the week. H. JACOBI CHOSEN STUDENT NT LEADER. 17 -Year -Old Pupil Takes Part in All Curricular Activities. Harry Jacobi, a Grade 12 student at Seaforth District High Sohool, has been named by his fellow pupils as the student leader for the current year. The 17 -year-old leader is active in track andfield, member of the senior basketball team for two years, member of the rugby squad, andplays intermedi- ate baseball for the Hensall team. Always an average student in his class work, Harry is a member of the Boys' Athletic Society and par- ticipates in all extra curricular ac- tivities o-tivities at Seaforth High. Baseball is selected as his favor- ite siports because of the precise timing required. "To be outstand- ing in the sport a player must be good both offensively and de- fensively," Harry states. Alertness as well as constant thinking are two important factors in the game. Coaching in our schools could be improved by having more films on pro athletes as well as more inter- school games. "A discussion of present day happenings ahould be held by the students during one half of the regular history period to encoidr,as the student to take more interest in our world affairs." • PASSES EXAMS Oban MacTavish, son of Mrs. John MacTavish, has successfully passed his final examinations as an architect at the University of Toronto.

Patterson, program con- vener, expressed the thanks and appreciation of the meeting to Mr, Kinkead, Miss Turnbull andthe chorus.

MORE THAN 275,000 DOLLARS Bicycles in Seaforth To Be Licensed With Fee of Fifty Cents. Seafonth Council gave its approv- al to the. Public School Board for the erection and, equipping of a new' school, to cost not more than $275,000. The next step is to ob- tain the Municipal Board's approv- al before any actual expenditures may take place. Councillors Siiarp and Crich held out for a vote of the people to decide the issue. The matter was brought to• a head when the board waited upon council at its regular meeting on Monday. J. H. Kinkead-, inspector of Schools, stressed that an early start should be made, because of rising costs and the increasing dif- ficulty in obtaining materials. Of the $275,000.00 estimated cost, a Government grant will cover 40 per cent. He reviewed the need for a new. school,, saying that very short- ly there will be 50 pupils begin- ning in one-year, and with the pre- sent building there will be abso- lutely no accommodation. Councillor Sillery tabled his re- port on a public rest room, saying that the committee deemed it in- advisable to have one in the Town Hall because of drainage problems, the long stairway and heavy doors and recommended the Public Lib- rary, because of its Convenient lo- cation. The committee was author- ized to carry on its negotiations with the Library Board. Councillor Christie reported that the redecorating of the police of- fice ,had been begun. A report on a civic. defence meet- ing held recently in London, was given by Councillor Daly. It was ouncil's general opinion that no action be taken until the necessary direction is given by either federal or provincial government, or at least by some group more vitally concerned. A detailed explanation was given. of the town's financial statement by John Broughton, auditor. In- cluded in his comments was the need of a detailed list of the town assets, and the fact that tax ar- rears were high for the times. Councillor Sillery asked council to recommend that when the Sea - forth detachment of Provincial Police gets a new car, that it be a black one. Councillor Christie reported that the town weigh scales was not ac- curate, and that a repair man had been called to make the necessary adjustments. The town dump was reported to be in a bad condition again. The contract with John Regier to sup- ervise it, expired the end of the year, and had not been renewed. J. C. Crich, town appointee on the No. 2 Seaforth Fire Area, re- ported that all the townships were in favor of bhe area and were will - into pay their share as proposed. He asked for further direction in Seaforth's share to supply build- ing, heat and certain amount of hose,` all of which not to exceed $1,800. It has been suggested that an addition be made at the rear of the Town Hall about 30 feet long, to house the new truck. Thus the two trucks would} be together, with a separate entrance for each. Councillor E. Daly, in ,his street committee report, said that the new drains on James St. and the Tuck- ersmith Agricultural Survey, had been completed. The necessary scarifying has been done. An en- gineer is to be consulted regarding town streets, with the view of lev- elling Main Street to eliminate wa- ter holes, repairing breaks on John St., and to make an overall plan of street maintenance. F.. I -t. Close tabled his report on the cost of bicycle license plates, saying that from information ob- tained from other towns. the plates cost 19c and the fee charged is 50c. He was instructed to bring in a by- law to next meeting covering the licensing of bicycles. The town agreed to lend the P. U.C. $10,000, without interest, to cover a deficit in the waterworks department, created when the last well was drilled. • WINS GROCERIES Mrs. John Shouldice won the basket of groceries in the second draw held by J.
