Hullett Township is upset at the provin- cial government for reneging on a promise. At the regular township meeting recently, council instructed clerk Clare Vincent to send protest letters to both the Land Division Committee and Huron MPP Charlie MacNaughton on banning develop- ment around the Wildlife Management area in Hullett.. Earlier, the province promised the town- ship that they would allow controlled development around the new conservation area in Hullett to make up for the lost assessment when the park was taken over by the province. However, council learned at the meeting that the Ministry of Lands and Forests wan- Clinton Council recommended last week at the council meeting that Jabez E. Rands be given an award in recognition of his more than 40 years' service to the town. The motion came as a result of a letter from the Good Roads Association that asked the council to suggest names of people in Clinton who had served for good roads 'for 40 years or more. Mr. Rands was manager of the Clinton PUC until he retired some years ago. The award will be presen- ted at the Association's Annual Banquet. Council also passed a motion to put up a streetlight in the vicinity of 212 James Street following a petition from three residents of that street who complained of the darkness. Councillor Archer of the Public Workers Committee informed council that they are looking into the possibility of getting a trac- tor to clean sidewalks and have a blower at- tached to it.

KELLER A detailed policy for drug education in Huron County Schools as well as to curb the abuse of drugs in the county schools, especially as it relates to the pupil population, was passed Monday evening in Clinton at the board's regular November meeting. The policy sets forth that the curriculum will include such programs as will ensure that students are made aware of the physical and psychological dangers incurred through the improper and illegal use of drugs. Principals, teachers and non-teaching school employees will be requested to co- operate fully with law enforcement agencies and report to them any information that would be beneficial in their efforts to stem the increase in illegal use of drugs. Principals will be informed that any pupil or employee coming upon the campus of any school in possession of or under the in- fluence of illegal drugs of any kind, or at- tempting to sell or use illegal drugs on the campus of any school shall be suspended forthwith and the facts reported im- mediately to the Director of Education. Principals will then present to the board, for consideration or expulsion or dismissal, the name or names of any pupil or employee convicted of an offence involving drugs. In a brief discussion about the drug problem believed to exist in the county schools, Chairman R,M. Elliott told the board that there is some speculation among parents as to whether or not the recent drug film shown in the high schools by the Huron County Health Unit served any useful pur- pose. He said that it is the opinion of some parents that students need something "to scare them". They should see "the gory details of results of drug abuse habits", Elliott felt. James Coulter, superintendent of program Asa. service to area voters and to News- Record readers, this paper will open its pages, free, to area candidates in order that they can present their views on the up- coming civic elections, The public forum in these pages next week will be open to ALL candidates for all posts both in Clinton and the surrounding townships. This includes candidates for mayor, reeve, deputy-reeve and board of Some additions were made to the present policy on Field Trips and Excursions within Huron County Schools. Decision on the mat- ter was reached Monday evening at the board's regular November meeting in Clin- ton. It was agreed that students participating in trips which occur either entirely or in part during vacation periods from the school do so as private individuals and not as mem- bers of a group sponsored by the school. .Teachers who accompany the students are also considered private individuals and not representatives of the board. Teachers who may be absent from school as a result of participation in such trips will be subject to loss of pay for any school days for which they are absent. The matter of School Safety Patrols was also discussed. It was decided that parents must be given written, consent for their 'children to act as Safety Patrollers; such and planning, said that the Art Linklater film recently in the high schools was "really not very instructive". He said the county schools are planning to purchase a film which he noted is considered superior to the Linklater film. Basic residence telephone rates in the Clinton exchange would go up five cents a month in 1973 and 30 cents a month in 1974 if the Canadian Transport Commission ap- proves increases asked by Bell Canada Friday, November 10. Proposed increases were included in ap- plications "A", to take effect in 1973, and "B", to be introduced in 1974. The 1973 application asked for increases in basic rates, service charges, long distance rates and other serivces such as extensions. The 1974 application includes proposed increases in basic rates, service charges, long distance and pay phone rates, extensions, and a new 25-cent charge for some calls to directory assistance. J. M. Scott, Bell manager in this area, said increases allowed Bell by the CTC last May are being largely offset by increased operating costs beyond its control. The company says relief through a rate increase is needed to avoid construction cut- backs and deferrals. Service charges would double in two stages, with a 50-percent increase in 1973 and a further one-third increase in 1974. Present rate for a new residence phone in- stallation is $11, This would go to $16.50 next year and $22 in 1974. Increases proposed for 1973 for long distance would apply only to the initial charge period and only on calls within Bell territory: two cents for customer-dialed; five education. In order to meet space limitations and to give equal time to all candidates, the News- Record must place certain restrictions on, submitted copy. It must be between '250 .and 350' words in length; it must be clearly written or typed; and it will be subject to editing for libel or length. .Deadline for submission is Monday, November '27 at 12 noon. students will be properly trained by the police; administration of the patrols will be through the co-operation of the principal of the school and the local police; and students involved in Safety Patrols are to he specifically instructed that they have no authority to stop vehicular traffic. Three new custodians were hired. They are Grant Turner beginning duties at Goderich District Collegiate Institute and T. Nethery and C. Finnigan, starting at F.E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham. These new duties commence December 1, 1972. Contracts for snow removal were accep- ted. They go to Carl D'Arcey, Howick Cen- tral, $125 per month for months of Decem- ber, January, February and March; John Carmichael, East Wawanosh PS, $10 per hour; Robert Galloway, Stephen Central, $8 per hour; Grey Central, J.E. Struthers, $10 per hour; and Huron Centennial PS, James Nott Jr., $10 per hoUr. Alterations will be made to Wingham Public School to accommodate Golden Cir- cle School and the services of Kyles, Kyles and Garrott have been retained by the board for the project. At Queen Elizabeth School in Goderich, an additional room has been leased from the Huron-Perth Separate School Board ef- fective January 1, 1973 at $25 per month. The former Ainleyville School property in Brussels will be returned to that community the board decided. The following resignations were received by the board; Mrs. M. Jean Keith, Usborne Central teacher and Mrs. Edith Taylor, Clinton PS teacher; and non-teaching per- sonnel Mrs. Lois Lee, Howick; Mrs. Joanne McCallum, Huron Centennial; and Andrew Bremner, Grey Central. Two items have been put onto next month's agenda. The matter of Henry Pulsifer's request to give guitar lessons in the school will be re-examined. As well, a high school bus parking problem in Wingham will be discussed with an eye to finding an alternate solution to the present system of parking the buses on town-owned property. Bones discovered .BY IMILYENA ERICKSON Ontario Provincial Police are launching an investigation after the discovery of three bones near the south side of the pier in Bayfield by a Michigan man last Sunday. Goderich detachment of the OPP sent the three bones, which look like two small pieces of a spine and a rib, to the Forensic Science Laboratories in Toronto on the or- ders of Dr. G.F. Mills of Goderich. The bones, which have not yet been iden- tified as either human or animal, were discovered by Roland Koulter of Dearborn, Michigan who was fishing off the pier last Sunday. Safety patrol programs will be set up across Huron County as a result of a program initiated in Clinton by Constable Frank Draper of the Clinton Police Force. The Crossing guards were started this week in Clinton under the watchful eye of Con- stable Draper and Clinton Police Chief Lloyd Westlake, ex- treme right. The new guards were hand-picked by the teachers and principal Bert 'Gray of Clinton Public School.
