(Wasslnk photo) New super for school board The 'administration of the Huron•Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board is expanding by one and possibly two superin- tendents. The Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board approved hiring a second superintendent of education who will be bilingual. The decision was made by a 12 to 2 recorded vote at the board's Nov. meeting. The two board members against the hiring were chairman Ron Murray of RR 1, Dublin and Tim McDonnell of RR 2, Gadshill. Mr. Murray said the board's personnel committee is also considering hiring an assistant superintendent of business and finance. The new superintendent would be respon- sible for setting up the French Immersion programs in Stratford and Goderich, said Bill Eckert, director of education. Other duties include sharing responsibilities with the present superintendent. ane of these responsibilities would be communication, A recent Ministry of Educa- tion study pointed to a lack of communication in the Huron -Perth systenl. Possible consolidation of schools is another area where the new superintendent would be involved, said Mr. Eckert. He said the present superintendent now spends over half his time on special education. Mr. Murray voted against the motion because he feels trustees need to know what 119• OP Italy ity .

"1 would like to see 'a needs assessment done," he said. The new superintendent's appointment is effective Jan. 1 and is slated as a three year term. Mr, Murray said the salary for both new positions is negotiable. He said that board policy is that the superintendent of education be paid 55,000 over the maximum principal's salary in the first year and 56,000 in the second year. The maximum salary for a principal is 550,000, The second position of assistant to the current superintendent of business and finance would have a salary similar to a principal, said Mr. Eckert.

Utilities Commission (PUC) has tentatively approved an average 5.6 per cent increase in retail hydro rates subject to the approval of Ontario Hydro. That average includes a six per cent hike in rates to residential class. consumers and a 5.2 per cent increase to consumers in the general class. The new rates would be effective Jan. 1, 1985. In terms of dollars, this rata increase will mean the average homeowner who uses 250 kilowatt hours of power per month will pay 519.63 instead of $18.50.. The homeowner who uses 1,000 kilowatt hours per month will pay $53.38 instead of $50.38. In a presentation to the PUC on Thursday, Mark Steeves of Ontario Hydro said the 5.6 per cent increase In retail rates, if implemented Jan. 1, would keep the Seaforth PUC operating at the same level in 1985 as it was In 1984. If no rate hike was implemented, he said the Seaforth PUC would be unable to meet the 8.5 per cent increase in wholesale rates that are being put into effect by Ontario Hydro. "You have to charge enou?h to covehe variable costs to the commission. Seaforth is just fortunate that it is able to recovef as much with a low percentage increase, without going to the' full impact of the total percentage inorease that Ontario Hydra is." said Mr. Steeves. Approximately 80 per cent of the revenue taken in by the P,UC goes to Ontario Hydro for power rental. Teach kids skills Thegreatest tragedy of this generation could be the failure to give the children of today skills to compete tomorrow, says Ontario Liberal leader David Peterson. Mr. Peterson was in Stratford recently to speak to guests at the annual meeting of the Perth Liberal Riding Association. ' • "We have a major resource - people," he said. He feels the Ontario Progressive Conservative government is short changing the youth of today. Mr. Peterson rapped the Tories over several issues, particularly spending money 'in the wrong areas. He said spending in the wrong areas is a result of having the wrong priorities. He recited unemployment figures - 150,000 unemployed Ontario youth - while there is a demand for 75,000 skilled laborers. The government, should spend more money on training its youth, he said. More money should• also be spent on education. More specifically, more money should be spent on post secondary education in the areas of skill training, co-operative programs and technical programs, he said. "It's a great tragedy. As a Liberal it offends me to the depth of my soul. Education is the great equalizer," said Mr. Peterson. Instead, the provincial Tories spend money on purchasing an oil company, he said. Millions of dollars a year from the provincial treasury are used to pay for the interest alone on Sun Cor. Mr. Peterson said that no jobs and no oil have been brought to Ontario because of the purchase. The millions spent on Sun Cor or the $45 million on Mackiney Lodge could have been spent on skill training youth, he said. To graphically explain what he calls tht overspending of provincial Tories, Mr. Peterson recalls that the government spent $42,000 on book marks. Because of the current Progressive Con- servative leadership race, the legislative assembly has come to a stand still, said Mr. Peterson. I have never seen it so had in my nine years." He chastised the Tory leadership candi- dates for ignoring their responsibilities in the assembly. The Liberal caucus walked out of the provincial assembly on Nov. 23 when only four of the 29 cabinet members showed up for question period. As for the Liberal position in .the province, Mr. Peterson described it as optimistic. He said the party has brought in "first class°' people to run in the Dec. 13 by-elections across the province. The coming year is an historic opportunity for the •Liberal opposition in Ontario, he said. And 1985 will represent the first time in 10 years that the Liberals have had a chance to take the reign of power from the Tories. 3t1$t)t513ttZsAWsxsa=M s 3*SA i xl X$X3t5A ASA35$3t:SASMalteginfit asaa w a t), 0 2.99 Ib g .79 u, g szi.a.si:amapsizisumgma3.53.53.5amss.s.a.is.a,:tsimma.,AYzai PSI 1 Fresh Baked g MINCEMEAT PIES 2.49 g TASTY NU • No Preservatives • Fresh Daily n BREAD • Finest Quality 24 O7 .79 CHEESES FRESH OFF THE BLOCK Imported Fresh Nutritious BRAN MUFFINS 6/1.19 Extra Old loaf CHEDDAR CHEESE EDAM CHEESE CHEESE CURDS 3.49 Ib, , 2.99 lb BULB( SUNSHINE FRUIT MIX 2,19 Ib SULTANA RAISINS J.M.
