If readers noticed a difference
from the .usual excellent quality
of Town Talk last week, it is
because the regular columnist,
Marg Rudd, is away on holidays
with her husband Ron at their
cottage. Son gorrie is holding
down the fort at home.

The News-Record received a
letter last week from Mrs.
Emory Sutor, R.R.1, Cayuga,
Ontario, the kind we like to
receive.
It read: "Enclosed please find
six dollars to renew my
subscription to your paper. I've
had it ever since I came down in
this part of Ontario, over 40
years ago. I still enjoy it."
Thanks for boosting our
morale Mrs. Sutor.

Contract
Continued from Page 1
to a request from the city.
On the . recommendation of
John Vintar, Superintendent of
Education, the Board appointed
Mrs. Bernadette Perron, Zurich,
as acting principal of Ste. Marie
School at St. Joseph.
The Board approved a motion
from Trustees Ted Geoffrey,
R.R. 2, Zurich, and Francis
Hicknell, R.R. 5, Seaforth, to
reconsider a previous decision by
the Board not to increase the
salaries of caretakers and bus
drivers for 1970-71. A large
number of caretakers in schools
across the two counties had
indicated they were not pleased
to sign contracts at old rate. As a
result the Board authorized the
Personnel Committee to
re-consider salaries and fringe
benefits for school custodians,
for school custodians who are
also school bus drivers, and for
bus drivers, and that
recommendations be submitted
to Board at August 10 meeting.
On the recommendation of
Trustee Arthur Haid, chairman
o f the Transportation
Committee, the Board approved
having dual wheel brakes put on
all Board-owned school buses.
Mr. Haid reported the two
new buses recently bought by
the Board for the Zurich area
already have these brakes, and
he wanted the remaining buses
to have them installed when
being prepared and checked over
ready for the start of school in
September,
Jack Lane, Business
Administrator, presented the
first Printout as provided
through Data Processing Centre
which provides a complete
breakdown of expenditures for
each school, in addition to
complete revenue statements
and balance sheet.
Mr. Lane reported the total
expenditure for the first five
months amounted to $756,700.
He said approximately 50 per
cent of the taxes have been
received for a total of about
$155,000.
Trustee Keith Culliton,
chairman of the Board,
expressed his satisfaction with
the Printout, stating it gave him
and other Board members the
up-to-date information they
wanted. Mr. Culliton stated the
only additional information he
would like to see included on
the next report would be the
number of pupils in each of the
19 schools.

equal educational opportunities
throughout Ontario.
During the discustions, it was
evident that many parents
present were concerned about
eertain teachers working in
McKillop. They were told it'was
very difficult to let a teacher go
since the law prohibits a board
from retiring a teacher until he
Or she reaches 65 years of age
and since teachers are under
permanent contract.
"Who has control over the
teachers?" asked one lady,
Director of edutation John
Cochrane said that it must be
proven that the teacher is
incompetent, Elliott reported
that forms are available oh
which ratepayers may make
teadierig.
• "Improved faeilitieS are not
necessarily going to make better
teachers," advised Mr, Cochrane.
Several McKillop resident
agreed that McKillop students
Were making an average "showing
after leaving the l'VteXilloP School
systems
and it was remarkable that he
von it since he's never played'

Mr. James Reid and wife
Betty of lirigg, Lincolnshire,
England, are presently visiting
his brother Joe and wife Ivy, of
Townsend Street. So far Jim and
Betty have visited all the scenic
attractions in Huron County and
the Niagara Peninsula. They haVe
also spent a few days in New
York City.
On their travels they have
remarked on the number of
place names common to
Lincolnshire and to Ontario.
They plan to return to
England on July 26.

In another report, the board
learned that the students of
South Huron District High
School have made a contribution
toward "Project Schoolhouse", a
plan to build and equip a junior
high school in Troumaca on the
island of St. Vincent, West
Indies. The chination was made
in memory of Janet Guenther
and Geraldine Moddejonge who
were drowned during a school
field trip earlier this year.
The board learned that a
framed reminder of the
memorial gift will be hung on a
wall in the new building in
Troumaca.
General
Because the Huron County
Board of Education feels that
some students may suffer
unjustified hardships when their
place of residence is changed
during the school year from one
school district in Huron County
to another in the county, or
when a student is forced to
change schools before he has
completed a program of studies
in a particular school, it has been
agreed that it will be the policy
of the board to permit children
to finish their course of study in
the school in which they are
enrolled providing there is no
additional cost to the board as a
result of the decision.
It is understood, however,
that when the pupil has finished
his schooling in the school of his
former residence that, in the
case of moving from elementary
school to secondary school, he
shall enrol in the designated
school for the area in which he
resides unless enrolment in
another school is approved
under other •Board Policy or
resolution.
In other business, the board
agreed to purchase a video tape
recorder for Seaforth District
High School at a cost of $3,150
(Seaforth is the only high school
in the county without such
equipment); learned that interest
charges to date in 1970 amount
to about $47,000; and
questioned the wisdom of the
Interprovincial Youth Travel
Program in which five Huron
County Secondary School
students are participating this
summer,
They are Peter Cameron,
'Clinton; Carol Anne Doig,
Seaforth; Hennie Bejersbergen,
Wingham; Julie Burgess, Exeter;
and Alister Pirie, Goderich.
"It's like spending all your
money on one football
t e am,"commented Chairman
John Levis. "Only a few can
actually benefit from the
program which is costing
somebody a great deal of
money."
Reorganization
and the Advisory Vocatiotal
Committee including Adult
Education.
James Coulter will co-ordinate
the duties of the three
superintendents and John D.
Cochrane as director of
education, will remain in charge
of the entire system.

meeting, members of the press

The new scheme will be for a

from the first and third Monday
evenings to the second and
