Father Durant. Brian Melady was com- mentator. The first Scripture reading was read by Anthony Van Bakel, a grade 10 student, and the second reading was given by Pat Brown, a grade 12 student. Following each of the read- ings was a minute of silent prayer and a homily by Father Durand along • with some anti- phants. After the Bible service ,.vas the distribution of Christ- mas presents by Santa` Claus (Pt Brown). Next was a group of girl singers, and fqr their number sang "The Holly and the Ivy. The boys proved to be just as good with their song, "Silent Night." A monologue by ,Trudy Brown entitled, "Get Thee Be- hind Me," followed.

Glift and school" trustee Merton Merner were elected by acclamation fol- lowing 'a December 21 nomina- tion meeting, About 20 per cent of Bay - field's eligible voters went to the polls. Bayfield was 'an incorporated village until 1927 when it re- verted back under trusteeship to acquire • rural hydro facili- ties. ... The light turnout was blamed McKILLOP VOTES FOR TRUSTEES (Continued from Page 1) ship at $658. • He agreed that perhaps weeds were not cut as early in the year as they should be, but it was a hie job to get at. Main- tenance costs were high, and he told of an instance where a new . tire on the tractor had been slashed as a result of broken bottles in the ditches in which it was working. While it would cost slightly more to provide a combined program of spraying and cut- ting, he believed perhaps this would be the answer. Apply Earlier Referring to applying cal- cium chloride, he said the net cost to the township was $2,7Q0. Calcium, too, should be ap- plied earlier, but should not go on before roads are gravelled, and it was difficult to get gravel on before the end of June. He suggested that perhaps council should consider leaving the gravel until the fall and apply chloride earlier in the year. Referring to newspaper cov- erage of council proceedings, he said an error had occurred in two reports which The Ex- positor had carried. In one in- stance, road work had been in- dicated as extending from Lon- desboro to No. 8 Highway, ra- ther than from Roxboro to No. 8 Highway, and in the other case, it was indicated that 50 per cent of a water tank in Blyth had been underwritten by the township. The township was responsible for only 5 per cent of the cost, he said. Additional road work is plan- ned on the road between con- cessions 2 and 3, which will in- volve reducing the mountain by 15 feet. About 24,000 yards of gravel will be required. ' The speaker suggested 'that at the same time, sideroads at lots 21 and 31 should. be built to simi- lar standards for the mile and a . quarter north of No. 8 High- way. Councillor ' William Dennis commented on the large at- tendance at the meeting and said this indicated there was interest in the municipality, and in the work which was be- ing done by council. He point- ed .out that despite the fact a new grader and truck lad been purchased and additionalgrav- eling rayeling and dust -laying work car- ried out, the tax rate had been reduced one mill. There might be a small deficit at the end of the year.:' ' Road Work included the con- struction of the Cronin culvert, a 49 -foot span, ata total cost on the fact that the majority of $4,535. Preliminary work was of Bayfield's 500 voters are underway' for the Morrison cul- summertime resident. vert, which would be a 45 -foot span, at an e§timated cost of $30,000. Receives Co-operation He . reviewed activity at the new Seaforth Community ,Hos- pital. He represented the town- ship on the board and said the project was about 40 per cent completed. He said there was interest in the present hospital building, and that it was ex- pected •that it would be sold. Referring to the plowing match, he said there was wonderful co- operation among those on whose farms the match would be held. Councillor Harold Dodds re- viewed road work carried out during the year and said that 15,126 yards of gravel hat been applied to township roads at a total cost of $10,852. In addi- tion to this, stone had been pur- chased from ,pits owned by Leo Arts, Stanley Hillen and Jack McLlwain, at a cost of $1,210. Councillor Ralph McNichol described the work which had been done' on the Stevens' bridge, a 52 -foot span, at 1ot 26, concessions 10 and 11. Total cb'st of the structure was $6,819. Stewart Dolmege, who had been nominated for council, was not present - when called on to speak. . Trustee Nominees Speak The school trustees who had been nominated each spoke briefly. Murray Dennis said that he expected to qualify and had two years as a member of No. 9 Board. While it was hard to say what would be involved un- der the new arrangement, he was very interested in proper educational standardsbeing maintained. George Rock told the meeting he was proud to know that the people in his area had confi- dence in his ability to repre- sent them, and that he would qualify and do the best he could under the new arrange- ment. Walter McClure also agreed that it was hard to say what would be involved in a town- ship board, but suggested that within , five years the depart- ment 'would insist that a cen- tral school be provided. ` Arthur Bolton said the whole concept* was new and that the board that was elected would have to take stock of what was available and then it would be up to the board to make plans and decisions: He agreed there would be criticism, but express- ed the hope the board also would be told of decisions that were taken and that were found to be correct He said too of- ten the criticism only had' to do with what displeases people. Wilfred Drager said that he had experience and that he would stand. Robert E.

ECI, 'T,, RetRtrp7itng "af6teer :7.5.1. went on to add that he had great respect for the little' Red Schoolhouse. A good teacher means more than a lot of ac- commodation and new school building, he said. Mr. McMillan pointed out that statistics proved that pupils or- iginating in the rural schools are better able to stand on their feet when they reached secon- dary schools than were pupils from urban centres." He men- tioned several students who had distinguished themselves at .SDHS. Quoting the experience of the Tuckersmith School Area where he said the cost per pupil was $246 a year, as compared to a cost in SS 2, McKillop, of $215 per year, he said that the town- ship could not look forward to decreased costs by going into a school area. Campbell Wey expected that he would stand. He was sorry only that each of the school sec- tions could not be represented on the township board. John Henderson pointed out that in the present school sys- tem 175 to 200 pupils, have been educated in the township at a cost of less than 10 mills during the past five years. This was not so where there are school areas. In the SDHS area the rate had risen from 7.2 mills in 1959, to 17 mills in 1964. He told the meeting he felt that the township should go along with what it now had as long as it was economical to do so. Harold Pryce said that he expected to run andpointed out he had been _active in No. 10 Section.' 111 Pupils At SDHS Reporting for the SDHS board on which he was the McKillop representative, Harvey Craig said that of the 111 McKillop pupils attending SDHS, 31' go on to Clinton. Bus costs to Seaforth are $122 per pupil, with'aniadditional $66 each per annum for those going to Clin- ton. He said there appeared to be more information available con- cerning Clinton than there was about Seaforth. Clinton had projected the anticipated school population in. 1970, which show- ed an increase of 10 in McKil- lop. No longer will representatives of SDHS visit parents of poten- tial Grade 9 students at terms end. In future, the principal will be available at the school dur- ing the first two weeks of July, he said. Bring Greetings • 'Reeve Cliff Dunbar, of Grey, .and' Reeve ' Glenn Webb, of Stephen, who are campaigning for the wardenship of Huron, were at the meeting a n d brought greetings from their townships. Deputy, Reeve Carl Dalton, of Seaforth, referred to the -co-, operation that existed between the two neighboring municipali- ties. He noted the changes oc- curring in rural areas,' particu- larly in the increasing values of farm lands and wondered what effect this -would have on assessment and taxes. Councillor Walter Shortreed, of Morris Township, referred to problems' in determining on a suitable centennial project and suggested• there, could be ad- vantages- Yin area municipalities co-operating in a central pro- ject. -FUNERALS ELTON ROY UMBACH Elton Umbach, a former Sea - forth druggist, died in South Peel Hospital, December 23.
