Staffa man to head Perth PCs
A Staffa area man takes over the reins from
Vince Judge of Listowel as president of the
Perth County Progressive Conservative asso-
ciation.
Ross McPhail, former warden of Perth
County, was named as head of the political
organization at its annual meeting on July 9.
Mr. McPhail served for 14 years on county
council and in the May 2 provincial election
headed up campaign activities in the south
part of Perth for PC candidate Glynn Coghlin.
The Perth PC's saw their largest gathering
ever just over a year ago when Dr. Harry
Brightwell was elected as former MP Bill
Jarvis' successor. Mr. McPhail hopes. to keep
that momentum and the same number of
members.
"Hopefully we'll maintain that position
expand our activities," said the Hibbert
Township fanner.
Dr. Brightwell was on hand for the annual
meeting and said he would like to see more
ongoing fundraising activities by the associ-
ation, instead of holding them just during an
election campaign.
Mr. Judge remains on the executive as past
president. He remarked that the associ-
ation's activities in the past three years since
he has been chairman, normally would take
place in 10 years. He was referring to the two
elections, the John Crosbie night and the
Frank Miller night, when Mr. Miller was
premier.
Other executive members of the associ-
ation are provincial vice-president John
Stratton of Sebringville, federal vice-presi-
dent Nina Carey of Stratford, secretary
Laurie Francs of Stratford, provincial trea-
surer George Trethaway of Stratford and
federal treasurer Gary Thomas of Stratford.
Other directors named at the meeting
include Vivienne Robinson of Stratford, Beg
Litt of Stratford, Henry Van Drunenli of
Stratford, Ron Denham of RR 1, St. Marys,
Charles Richardson of St. Marys, Rita
Christie of RR 2, Staffa, Len Smith of
Listowel, Brian Gropp of Milverton, Don
Brubacher of RR 1, Sebringville, Bert
Johnson of Listowel, Pat McLeod of Listowel,
Bob Martin of Elma Township, John
Rutherford of Gadshill and Joanna Dill of RR
1, St. Paul's.
Honorary members of the executive are
Dave Fangrad of Stratford, Mac Pratt of
Listowel, WalterGerth of Milverton and John
Skinner of Stratford.
Semestering popular with everyone
Semestering is popular with the students
and teachers of Central Secondary School in
Stratford which is testing that type of school
organization for the Perth County board of
education.
A report presented by Central school
principal Bruce Buckingham, show 80 per
cent of the teaching staff and 79 per cent of
the student body are in favor of the
semestering ,system. A survey of parents
show 84 per cent are in favor.
Semestering has the school year divided
into two parts, with students having four
90 -minute periods a day plus an hour for
lunch.
The pilot project has another year to go
before the school board decides to either
scrap it, leave it at Central or expand it to
other secondary schools in the county.
Mr. Buckingham said he hoped individual
schools will be able to make the choice of
semestering on their own.
In other business, the board:
- Did not agree with an administration
report to increase the deductible on property
insurance from $10,000 to $25,000. Superin-
tendent of business and finance Bob Noble
said there would be savings of $6,000 for a
premium of $103,963;
The deductible will remain at $10,000.
Listowel trustee Bert Johnson, as a majority
shareholder in an insurance brokerage firm.
declared a conflict of interest and left the
board room while the insurance was being
discussed;
- Changed afternoon recesses for Grades 5
and 6 at Elma Township public school from
2:15 to 2:30 to 2:05 to 2:20;
- Approved a one year appointment to St.
Marys DCVI for Pierre Chateauvert.
Municipalities support actions
Four of the 14 Perth County municipalities
have confirmed their support of a resolution
of Perth County Council approving the
position taken by the Perth County board of
Education in contract negotiations with its
secondary school teachers.
Over a month ago, the board took the
unprecedented step of publicizing teachers'
demands, stating the board refused to
negotiate unless the teachers reduced those
demands.
The school board said the teachers'
requests. filling a ?R nagr, document would
cost taxpayers 40 per cent more than the
current collective agreement.
County clerk Jim Bell told the July 11
session of county council that to date, the
townshipsgf Fullarton, Elma and Blanshard
and the town of Mitchell have written to him
indicating their support of the resolution.
Listowel and Wallace Township, although
the county clerk had not received word, have
also endorsed the resolution.
Perth County council decided late, last
month to publically support the school board.

Plowing logo chosen
What do the Stratford Shakespearean
Festival theatre, a tractor, a factory and barns
have in common?
The four are sights that can be found in
Perth County and Kay Meadows of RR 2,
Stratford designed a format for them to be
incorporated and came up with the winning
design for the Perth County Plowmen's logo
contest.
The design features a central circle with
the words "International Plowing Match and
Farm Machinery Show Perth County 1988"
and then four partial circles attached.' Each
circle features an aspect of the county - the
theatre, a tractor, a factory and barns.
The contest was held earlier this year and
plowmen secretary John McKay said there
were 1.7 entries in all representing the entire
county.
The vice-chairman of the local committee
for the 1988 1PM said the logo will be used
exclusively by the plowmen on letter heads
and in advertising purposes such as on mugs
and hats.
Mrs. Meadows said her family helped her
come up with the design for the logo, A
retired nurse from Stratford General Hospital
Mrs. Meadows said she used to enjoy oil
painting.
The logo was chosen by a selection
committee. On the committee were Stratford
mayor Ted Blowes, agricultural representa-
tive Alan Scott'and local committee chairman
Doug Aitchison of RR 4, llstowel.
The plowmen presented Mrs. Meadows
with a prize of $25. She in turn will hand the
money over to the Stratford General Hospital
building fund as a donation.
