If anyone feels they have entitlement, get in touch with Branch Service Officer Cleave Coombs who can give you application forms.

REPORT ON SCIENCE FACILITIES A number of recommendations have been made to the HCBE based on a report on the county's science facilities. Ralph Wareham, vice-principal of F.E. Madill Secondary School, reported to the Board's Education Committee on a study he had conducted in the regular secondary schools in Huron County. The recommendations from the study in- clude the update of science laboratories in South Huron District High School, introduc- tion of ventilating systems to the laboratories of all secondary schools, a system -wide inspection and assessment of gas, water, and electrical services to science labs, the installation of flammable liquid storage cabinets in each school, and the establishment of a Science Safety Com- mittee to oversee all science safety policies and procedures. FUND RAISING The matter of fund raising in schools came up in the March meeting, and the Ex- ecutive Committee was ordered to review this issue. The committee reviewed the previous in- stances where this matter had been referred to it, and also reviewed the federation posi- tion on this matter and reviewed the HCBE procedures which had been written regar- ding fund raising. Gary Jewitt, principal of Seaforth and Walton Public Schools, presented informa- tion about fund raising in elementary schools, dealing in particular with how money is raised and spent. In light of the information presented and discussed, as well as procedures in the HCBE procedural manuals, the executive committee decided procedures were operating appropriately with regard to this matter. SEAFORTH -PROPOSED SUBDIVISION The Board received the plan for a propos- ed subdivision on the northeastern boundary of Seaforth, adjacent to the Seaforth and District Community Centres. The total housing supplied by the new sub- division would be 88 units, with 17 single family residential lots, 8 double or semi- detached residential lots, 31 town housing units, and 32 apartments. The question before the Board was could it accommodate new students to the area in its current school facilities. The board agreed to look at its options fur- ther, but agreed an additional school site is not required. It is anticipated there will be no need to increase either staff or space in the schools for approximately 5-10 years. Seaforth Public School was identified as one of the schools in the system which may need attention to reduce enrollment, and it is "near the top of the list for consideration." starting on Sunday, April 24 between 5 and 7 p.m. There will be an Executive meeting this Thursday, April 14 at 8 p.m. Executive members and Committee chairman please attend. The regular meeting will be held the following Thursday at 8 p.m. This will be the election meeting if more names are placed on the present slate of officers. The Bar roster for this week is: Wednes- day, April 13, G. •Gerrick; Thursday, April 14, D. Rowcliffe; Monday, April 18, L. Teatero; Tuesday, April 19, B. Barry; Wednesday, April 20, R. Govier.
