Irving Ferguson re - 'served) judgment in a supreme eourt hearing in Goderich this week of an action brought by the Board of Trustees of the Dublin Continuation School for $4,800.00 for fees of pupils resident in the Seaforth High School District who attended the Dublin Continuation School in 1948. Section 5, of the Continuation Schools Act, Frank Donnelly, K.C,, submitted, permits a .Continuation School Board to charge the board of a high school district, for the tuition fees of pupils resident in • the high school district, who at- tend a continuation school if the latter is more accessible than the high school. It is over the fees of the pupils in this category that the hearing is about. Mother Angela Merici, principal of Dublin Continuation School, gave evidence regarding at- tendance. She said Christian doc- trine was taught from 9 to 9.30 a.m. and the school day comraenc- ed at 9.30 a.m., with the approval of the Department of Education. Hugh Benninger, former secre tary-treasurer of Dublin Continua. tion School Board, gave evidence as to the number of pupils living in the Seaforth High School dis- trict who attended Dublin Continu- ation School in 1948. Their homes in McKillop Township were closer to the Dublin School than to the Seaforth Collegiate. Frank Donnelly, K.C., argued that, under the statute, pupils had a right to go to the nearest con- tinuation school. The continuation school was rea- sonably accessible, Mr. Donnelly contended, AS it was more con- venient to the majority of the pupile. They resided nearer Dublin and to attend school in Seaforth each student would have to make a round trip of 32 miles. • There was conclusive evidence, Mr. Donnelly submitted, that re- ligious instruction was' not taught in Seaforth District High School. 'The residents 'fltd want religious instruction for their children and they went to Dublin school where they could get it. The school was open to county pupils. G. L. Mitchell, K.C., pleaded lia- bility in the interpretation of sec- tions of the High School and Con- tinuation School Acts. He sub- mitted, bhat Dublin was carrying on under the old •basis Mid got money by the county, not by Sea - forth. The agreement was between Union Public School No. 2, Hile bert, and Union Separate School No. 2 to establish and maintain a continuation school in Dublin. They were not covered by the act and ' applied to the county for money in 1948. He suggested the main reason why parents sent their children to school in Dublin was religion. Three of the 48 students lived closer to Seaforth. The religious instruction provided by Dublin was an extra -curricular subject. • Expect To Call Tenders Before End Of Month in ,recent weeks the Seaforth Public School Board has held sev- eral meetings to review the blue- prints and specifications for the new school submitted by the archi- tects, Shore & Moffat, of Toronto. With a few suggestions for minor alterations, these were approved by the board and forwarded to Inspec- tor J. H. Kinkead for presentation to the Department of Education. Following the approval of the Department, it is anticipated that tenders will be called before the end of the month.

S. •McKercher, R.R. 1, Dublin, their new president at their annual meeting in Clinton, on Wednesday afternoon. He succeeds Charles Coultis, Belgrave, who held the position the past two years. F:rst vice-president is Wilfred Shortreed, Walton, and second vice- rresident, Delbert Geiger, R.R. 2, Zurich. Gordon Greig, of Bluevale, secretarystreasurer and fieldman, is an appointed officer. Guest speaker was Kingsley Brown, of Toronto, editor of The Rural Co -Operator, who said the federation is attempting to main- tain a balance within its own or- ganization. and between its own organization and other industries. "The federation became organiz- ed because the farming industry was out of balance with other in- dustries. No country in the world is getting food as low in price, as high in quality, and as plentiful as Canada," he said. W. V. Roy, of Clinton, a trustee of the Goderich elevator fund, ad- ministered by the federation for the benefit of junior farmers in the county, reported that financial a.s- sistance was, given in the past year to 65 Huron County juniors at- tending short courses at Guelph.

McLean, M.P. for Huron - Perth, in addressing the meeting, discussed,the •problems that arise in establieting controls ovegeimmi- grant labor. The explanation he said, that very few displaced per- sons are coming to Canada now— most of the current immigration is of people who come of their own free will, and not with a contract that binds them to any particular job after they arrive. Such new Canadians pay their own way and have decided, in many cases. to come to Canada, to avold the regi- mentation that features so many European countries today.
