Fire Loss $35,000 as
Hibbert Barn Burns
Loss has been estimated at
about $35,000 in a fire which
levelled a barn on the farm of
Jack Buthon, R.R. 2, Staffa Wed-
nesday evening last week,
The fire was discovered by
Mr. Butson about 6 p.m ' After
alerting the Seaforth Volunteer
Fire Brigade, he ,was able to
free most pf the 100 feeder pigs
'housed in the barn, which is
located across the road from
the farm on which the Hutson
family resides. About fifteen
Digs were lost in the fire arid about
another twelve had to be des-
troyed because of burns.
Also lost was a combine, bean
equipment, grain wagons and
numerous other pieces of farm
machihery.
leo cause has been determined
but John Scott, firenthief, said It
may have started in the upper
part. Loss is partially covered by
insurance.
The farm is located on the 8th
concession of Hibbert Township,
eight miles south east of Seaforth.,
in all, cases reported at the
convention where teachers had
been invited to assist with bud-
get plaaapig, full co-operation
had' bek achieved with teachers'
salary negotiations moving
swiftly and' easily to settlement.
"Teachers learned of the.
costs of other services while sit-
ting in on budget sessions," said
Mrs. Wallace. "No advantage
was taken of the boards' budgetary
systems. In view of what's
happened we should take a serious
cook at the method. The whole
approach should be looked at
another year."
Director' of
Cochrane, reported oecommuni-
cations from two • agricultural
bodies, the Federation of Agri-
culture for Huron County and the
Huron County Pork Producers.
Both brganizatierpe . expressed
their support ,.for the stated' the
board Is taking in' the present
salary - negotiations with their
teachers.
The following is a portion of
the letter from the Pork Prod-
, ucers: "There are 2200
registered pork producers in
Huron County who are not re-
ceiving increases these past few
years in the price of their prod-
uct. Therefore in no way should

The letter though unsigned by
any official of the pdrk producers'
group, was accepted by theboard
as valid after several board

Park Plans As Board-Teacher Problem
During the open meeting of
the Huron County Board of Edu-
cation Monday evening, there
was very little discussion con-
cerning the -current situation
between the board and its teach-
ing staff.
When Dr. Barry Deathe,Gpd-
erich, was Making- lilt report
concerning a program for after-
noozi,oneetings of the board be-
ginning in Oct6ber, he made ref-
erence to the fact that negot-
iations with teachers concern-
ing the fall 4 schedule were
somewhat strained at first but
that "a good rapport" had been
established within the commit.
tee which he heads.
At that time he notified the
board that in his opinion, poor,
communication with the teachers
was an immediate problem to be
overcome. , In his recom-
mendation to the board, Dr.
Deathe suggested a "fairly
major co-operative program with
your professional staff" begin
ning, with a session in October
entitled "Improving Communi-
cation Within. The_. CoUnty Sys-
--L tem".
While board members decided
to take a full two weeks before
, the next board meeting to study
all the ramifications ' of Dr.
Deathe's full proposal, including
hiS thoughts on setting, up a type
of teacher advisory committee
to the board, Mrs. J. W. Wallace
••also of Goderich, made refer-
ence to a "Convention she had
attended where It had been advo-
cated that teachers be involved
in budget-making with the board

the praises of the sanctuary as
he is with those who serve in the
pulpit. Christianity and music
he said are indissolubly ,wed.
"Christians to-day must take
more seriously the high and holy
art of worship in this secular

Huron B of E
A letter from the `police de-
partment of the Town of Goder-
ich advised members of the Huron
County Board of Educatibn
, Monday evening in Clinton that
various kinds of motorized trans-
portation as well as horses have
been travelling on the playground
of Victoria Public School in God-
erich.
The letter was submitted "in
the hope that you could pass a
regulation in your bylaws to
prevent any type of a vehicle
that is driven other than by mus-
cular power to be prohibited
from the school ground area,
before someone gets hurt",
It was suggested in the let-
ter that' signs should be erected
at the' school grounds advising
people that vehicles are forbid-
den on the school property.
Direcotr of Education, John
Cochrane, said that such policy
across the county could be help-
ful. He 'reported that $3,000 in
sodding at the Wingham school
had been destroyed through the
winter by snowmobiles.
Mrs. J. W. Wallace, Goder-
ich, said she had had a report
of a car travelling at full speed
right across Victoria, School's
playground recently about seven
o'clock in the ever,'
"It is just a miracle that
no one was 1AI-ell," she con-
cluded.
A suggestion to seek the co-
operation of the public, most
especially, snowmobile clubs,
etc., was advanced by Dr. Alex
Addison,Clinton.
The oard has agreed to draft
tentative policy regarding the
situation,, to investigate the cost
of 'signs for the county school
yards and to approach public
organizations advising them that
school property should be off-
limits for motorized vehicles oF'
horses.
In other besiliess, the board
erintendent, in his report said
the Hopper Well Drilling firm
had completed work on deepen-
ing the well 'in Egmondville by
I00 feet.
The road superintendent was
authorized to put "private drive-
way" on roadway to the township
garage.
A request by Harold Peth-
ick for a catch basin near his
new home, in Harpurhey was
