Review Driver Training Course A driver education course in- troduced last month at the Cen- tral Huron Secondary School, Clinton, may be dropped be- cause only two of its eight in- structors are qualified. The school board was informed by Fred Cronkite, London, accident prevention organizer with the Ontario Department of Trans- port, that if a driver .training course is to qualify for grants . and certificates, the instructors must attend . a two weeks` sum- mer course in . Toronto. The board appointed Principal D. J. Cochrane and Business Ad- ministrator L, R. Maloney to meet with the study and wel- fare committee, to,seek out ad- ditional qualified instructors. Present instructors are all high school 'teachers, and the two who qualify are Robert Smith and William, McKellar.. The course is sponsored by the Ontario Safety League and financed by the All -Canada In- surance Federation with no cost to the instructors taking the course. The Clinton. board which was charging each of the 120 stu- dents a fee of , $5.00, was in- formed by Mr. Cronkite that most boards charge $15, also said that the board could con- tinue the course with the un- qualified instructors, but that it would not qualify for the gov- ernment grant, and that the graduates could not receive certificates which entitles them to insurance reductions. The two qualified .instructors, said the official, could proceed and put through by next May,, a class of 24 each. Robert Elliott, RR 3, Clinton, who represents Goderich Town- ship on the board, said. that it might be better to drop the course than to restrict itto some. He remarked that it would .be very difficult to "pick and choose" who would take it. Each student received 25 hours of classroom theory and six to eight hours behind the wheel. The instructor w h o teaches the theory must be lic- ensed, to teach it. Health Unit Explains A detailed report, written by Dr, R. M. Aldis, Goderich, di- rector of the Huron County Health Unit, gave the board a clear picture of what was be- ing done at the school by the .-unit. The unit provides and pays for the salary of a regis- tered nursing assistant, Mrs. Beverly Riley, who. with the supervision of the health unit's, public health nurses, takes care of emergencies at the school. As one board member said, "This school provides the accommodation, the iodine and the patients, and the Unit pro- vides and pays the nurse,' The report showed that Mrs. Riley handled 466 vision and hearing -cases; had 174 health confer- ences; 95 cut fingers; 93 sprain- ed wrists; 347 headaches; 23 sore throats; 15 burns; 33 tooth- aches, and 2 broken parts. The board is requesting •that those boards sending vocation- al students into Clinton, appoint their ownattendance officer. The job has become impossible for the business administrator, as the area is large with an enrolment ' of 1,250 students. Word has been, received that the Crest Theatre Foundation Hour Company will include the Clinton. school in its tour next March. The board Authorized the $75 fee. Principal Cochrane's report showed a decrease in the at- tendance of 14, bringing the total figure to 1,236. Many of the 14 left school upon. finding• employment, he said. The av- erage attendance was 92.29. Tom Logan, Bayfield, was named as stationary engineer MI the probationary basis at the minimum salary of $2,800, and Fred Trevena, Clinton, was named full -tune custodian at a salary of $2,900? Perniisaion was granted for the business administrator to call in a sup- ply custodian when necessary, at the rate of $1.25 per hour. On Thursday, Nov. 19, the Clinton board, along with • the members of the advisory voca- tional committee, the school principal and the business ad - f'; - ministratowill tour the Sifto Salt Mine in Gaderich. Meetings Too Long Boyd Taylor, RR 3, Walton, who represents Morris Town- ship, constructively criticized the board's lengthy meetings. He said that as a farmer who rises each morning at 6:00 o'cloc'k,: he finds it a hardship to stay up so '1 at the meet- ings. The ses i ns start at 8 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month, in the winter months, and 8:30 p.m. spring through to fall, and most of them conclude around 2:30 to 3 a.m. the following morning. Mr. Taylor wondered if more work could be done in commit- tee meetings. Robert Peck, RR 1, Zurich, one of Huron County Council's two representatives 'on . the board, suggested startingthe meetings at 1 p.m. Stanley Township representative, Geo. -Clifton, RR 3, Kippen, remind- ed members that they recently defeated . his motion to hold two meetings each month. Mr. Lavis assured Mr. Taylor that the rest of the members agree that the meetings are too late --but that a vast amount of business' has to be handled. Members often find that. dele- gations often take up more time than the board plans upon. This year, added Mr. Lavis, five of the ,14 -member board were new members. An ambulance -chasing lawyer picked up a lady who had been knocked down by a bus. "Here's my card, lady," he said. "I'll get you damages." "Don't be an idiot," snapped the lady as she dusted, herself off. "I don't need any more damages. What I need now is repairs."
