S. Hetherington resumed in Goderich Thursday, when evi- dence was presezlted-by witness- es on behalf of a group-ef Tuck- ersmith ratepayers. The group wishes to have a portion of the Huron school area, including Harpurhey and Egmondville, re- moved from the area and join- ed to Seaforth. More than a third of all the pupils in Tuck- ersmith are residents in Eg- mondville and Harpurhey, and a number already attend school in Seaforth. Under the plans of the area board these pupils would be re- quired to go by bus to Stanley Township, south of Brucefield, to a new 19 -room school which the area board proposes build- ing. Mrs. Itobert Patrick, who sup- ported union with Seaforth, said she lives five miles from Sea - forth, and her son is 11 'and attends No. 10 School, which is four miles from home. Seaforth is five miles away and Bruce - field is farther—about eight miles. She said she wants her child to go to Seaforth because it is more convenient, since he can continue to take music lessons. He can walk to Iessons' from the Seaforth school. If he went to Brucefield he would have to be picked up and taken. John Wood said he was a farmer and has no children in school. He circulated a peti- tion and saw all the sigatures being sighed. He believes in the union with Seaforth, he said, because ,6f economic rea- sons, He agreed there had been. no discussion of the mill rate brought up in. connection with the petition. He added that three ex -trustees had signed and indicated they were in favor of the Brucefield school. Modern School • Ronald Eyre, the next wit- ness, has been a teacher at Seaforth school for the past•five years. He said he had no ob jection to a central school, but would rather have his child go to• Seaforth because it is closer, and he could take the child with him when he went to school. Describing facilities at the school, he said the school is modern, and while it has, no liprary, each room has books P A Theatre ,GODERICH First Run Films in Air-con- ditioned Comfort!

There is a part-time mus- ic teacher and a PT teacher. There are school activities at recess, supervised by the teach- ers. In the fall there • are foot- ball games after school, super- vised by a teacher, and each teacher is responsible to see their children get home safely. He said he was active in the Scouts in Seaforth and Egmond- ville at the present time. The Seaforth school hasno difficulty in getting teachers, Mr. Eyre said, and outlined the salary schedule in effect, which he indicated was higher than other area schools. Students in the school are distributed as follows: Kindergartin, 26; grade 1, 27; 2, 30; 3, 39; 4, 38; 5, 35; 6, 33; 7, 37, and grade 8, 40. Mr. Eyre said the school was close to hospital and doctors. He recalled having had to take three students to a doctor and one to hospital following acci- dents. Seaforth Clerk E. Williams told the hearing there had been no new homes built in 'the last year, but in Egmondville about six new homes had been built. He set the population of Sea - forth in 1963 at 2,332, includ- ing 160 between 1 and 3; 48 age 4; 49 age 5;.97 between 6 and 7; 95 between 8 and 9; 163 between 10 and 13; 37 age 14; 1,648 age 15 and over. In 1965 the total was 2,278, and in 1966 was 2,249. Questioned as to the avail- ability of building lots in town, he said there were about 10 or 15. . further stage in a town - wide sewage system had been completed recently and plans were being discussed to com- plete the system, including ser- vice to the public school. He said in answer to a query, that the present school rate was 18.6 mills, and he thought the rate would go down if a five -room addition was built to the school. Mayor John Flannery, of Sea - forth, said he lives in Egmond- ville, and supports•the Separate School. He said sewage may be connected to the Public School within the next year or so. James Doig, the next witness, said he farmed in Tuckersmith. He was opposed to the union in "Brucefield because it is too premature. , He would rather join with Seaforth if he had to make a choice, because it is more convenient. Reeve Carl ' Dalton, of Sea - futile said he owns property` -in Tucketsmith, Bayfield and Sea - forth. He—had signed a peti- tion to keep the Bayfield school open, and felt the best thing to do was for a portion of Tuck- ersmith to join with Seaforth. r Query ,Reports When court resumed Friday morning Mr. Mtirphy,acting for the school board, expressed concern as a result of: press re- ports in a London daily. "People will read this and think evidence was given of this kind. Evidence of the kind has not been • given," Mr. Mur- phy emphasized. Mr. Hunter replied that he had been asked to state his position. Commenting that it is a dangerous practise to state a position to a . newspaper, Judge Hetherington added that he •was placing no restraint on news reports. What they report i5 their business. Reeve C. • Dalton continued his testimony and gave details concerning bus routes. He' indi- cated that -if kindergarten stu- dents went to the proposed new school, they would have to be returned at dinner, and this makes extra miles. Students in Egmondville would be bused to school, except for those in the north of Egmondville, who would walk. The witness was examined by Mr. Murphy concerning bus de- tails and later concerning meet- ings which he suggested had been held. Asked whether they had been a protest meeting, to keep open the . Egmondville school, Mi. Dalton said he was not there and knew nothipg of it. He agreed he had signed a petition with Bayfield to keep their school, but didn't think a school there would affect real estate. ' Ivan Forsyth, Tuckersmith as- sessor, who had given evidence regarding population for 1965, was recalled and gave figures for 1964. These were: 3 and under, 187; 4, 51; 5, •60; 6 and 7, 104; 8 and 9, 91; 10 to 13, 45; 14, 169; 15, 47; 16-19, 143; 20-59, 924; 60-64, 64; 65-69, 75; 70 and over, 117. The total was 2,075. In 1963 the total had been 2,117.

He felt the proposal to build a large school in Brucefield would provide the best ,educa- tion for young people. They can't. get . this type 'of educa- tion- in the small schools, he said.

It will include 16 rooms -1 to 8 grades, two kindergartens, lib; rary, teachers' room, opportun- ity class, kitchenette, secretary and principal's office, health room, gym, and is all on one floor. The school will have a full- time principal, who has .been hired. He said plans were submit- ted to the Department of Edu- cation and were approved Mar. 8th.

In Stanley, the mill rate is 7 residential, 9 commer- cial. The assessment for the whole area is $5,675,751.
