Damage to the barn on a farm
owned by Stephen Eckert, R.R.I.
Dublin, was estimated to be
$1.500 when fire brdke out around
2 a.m. Sunday.
The Mitchell and District Fire'
Department were able- to contain
the fire soon after their arrival to
the one end of the barn which was
burned out. The steel roof helped
to slow the fire.
Lost in the blaze were 6 cows
-and 2 calves. Eleven steers being
readied for market in the spring
suffered from smoke inhalation
butlwre shipped out to marked
the next day.
Mrs, Eckert said the cattle
belonged to Walter Nicholson of
R.R.2, Monkton, and her
husband was looking after them.
She said the cattle were insured
but Mr. Nicholson did not know
what the loss would be until the
insurance adjuster made his
report.

Ed Dearing of .R.R.2, Staffa, is
the new chairman of be _Forth
County Board of education. Mr.
Dearing, the former " vice-
chairman, was acclaimed to .his
new post.
In his inaugural address Mr.
Dearing said that he would like to
see better rapport between
trustees and the administration.
He felt that there could,. be
fewer time-Consuming questions
from the trustees if they 'did their
homework.' He felt that
there should not be tolerance of
'complete ignorance of the
content' when matters were
presented for discussion. He did
not want to .stifle "trustee opinion
but was critical of some
outspoken statements made by
,board members.
Mr. Dearing said he would like
to consider alternate scheduling
of committee-of-the-whole
meetings that are closed to the
public. It has been the practice for
such sessions to be held for 45
minutes prior to each regular
meeting, with the result that
those who want to attend a board
meeting have to wait for that
length of time. Sometimes, also.
closed meetings are held after the
regular sessions. which tends
towards hampered decisions due
to the lateness of the hour. His
suggestion was that committee-
of-the-whole meetings might be
held on separate days from the
regular meetings.
The new chairman said that the
public should be kept informed.
the majority now seeming either
to be uninformed or misinformed.
He also suggested that special
meetings, possibly on a monthly
basis, should be continued. Two
meetings had been held, in 1974-
on business courses and students
programs conducted away : from
the school and next month a
special meeting will be held on
performing arts in the schools..-
He brought up the 'move
towards metric measurement. he
felt that the board 'should start
serious consideration of this
move, not` 'only in the school
system but in assistance to the
community.
' He would like to see a
continuance of the work of the
board's progrdm councils in the
studying of ntghematics,
geography, health ane physical
education. History courses ar e. on
the agenda in this .regar d.
Mr. Dearing said he would like
to see a complete and thorough
review of the night school
programs, the underlying
philosophy and the posSible need
to Update -a-rid- trtiproie-ithem.
He would' like a complete
review of the organizational and
administrative structure of the
board, seeking long range and
short range objectives to follow.
The new incumbent included
other objectives: implementation
of recommendations made to ,the
board by its audio-visual services
committee, the possibility of more
day time meetings, and a
consideration of the elementary
school principals'
eecommendation for consultant
services.
In addition, the board should
start planning for decl)ning
enrolments, rising costs and
limitations of ministry of
education spending ceiling's, he
said.
It is his intention, he brought
out, to ser,v.,e on the board this
year as a non-voting member,
except in special instances. He
will vote when it is necessary to
break a tie, or if specially
requested to vote on a certain
issue.
Mr. Dearing represents
Fullarton,• Hibbert and
Logan on the board.
Vice-chairman will be Stewart
Anderson, R.R.2, Tavistock, who
has been a trustee for the past six'
years. •
Chairman. vice-chairman and
trustee Robert Butler will
comprise the nominating
committee to prepare, for -Mord
approval, a list of members to
. serve on special 'committees, the
advisory committee on schools for
the trainable retarded and •any
other group to which the board
has power to appoint members.
The standing committees for
'the Huron-Perth County Roman
Catholic Separate School Board
for 1975 were named at a meeting
effective September, 1975, as
religious education consultant for
