Hiltz, Exeter, to be present). slate of officers Control Lamprey Eel With the completion of the Lamprey Weir on the 'Bayfield River (just north of Varna) this spring, the Fisheries Re­ search Board of Canada, a member of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission is embark­ ing on the initial stages of the lamprey control program in Lake Huron. This barrier is ■ designed to evaluate the strength, of the lamprey spawning run prior to stream treatment in order that' the effectiveness of treatment may be determined in subse­ quent years. The mechanics involved in operating the weir consist of laying electrodes across the river that are connected to an electric generator. When in use the current running across the river sets up an impenetrable electric field which kills the lamprey. Since other spring spawning fish, in particular toe Rainbow Trout, use the Bayfield River we can expect that minimal numbers of these will also be killed. However, protection of these fish from toe electric . current is maintained when the barrier is in operation by plac­ ing nets of wire across, the stream below toe barrier. The mesh is large enough to allow lamprey to pass through but prevents most of the Rainbow Trout from being effected. Often these nets are1 used in conjunction with box traps de­ signed to hold fis'h moving up­ stream until they can be safely moved past the barrier. In addition to protecting fish from the effects of the electric weir, the general public is pro­ tected from' accidentally boat­ ing through the installation by heavy log booms above and be­ low the electrodes. The gener­ ating plant and an area ad­ jacent to it are fenced off and during the actual operation red and white warning lights' flash alternately to advise the public.. - ----------o----- ------- Intermissions The playwright was a slow and meticulous : worker. He had promised a producer a new play, but when a full year went by without any further word from the playwright, .the producer became impatient.'. Phoning toe playwright, he de­ manded: “Where’s the play? I wahit to get the oast assembled and start rehearsals.” "It’s coming along,” the play­ wright assured him. But the producer wanted something more definite. "Just how far are you with it?” he asked. “Well,” said toe playwright, "I’ve just finished' the inter­ missions.” very f ARE YOU WATCHING THE NHL PLAYOFFS THROUGH A SNOWSTORM? 1 Are you missing important plays becaus 'your pic­ ture tube has almost had if?

Deal’ Sir: I canrto.t help feeling there i? quite a large number of rate­ payers in the township of Tuck- ersmito are being wrongly in­ formed or swayed by people painting a picture with shades that are a little off colour. I am writing as a ratepayer and a former school board member of the Township of Tuckersmith. I most certainly do not intend to degrade any­ one’s character or cause anyone to feel that I am tempting to bring any personal ill-feelings Ontario St UCW Hears of Two. Recent Meetings Unit 1 of Ontario Street Un­ ited Church Women met in the church parlour on Tuesday af­ ternoon, April 5. Mrs. R. Fear took as the theme for worship "Love” basing her thoughts on the scripture reading of 1st Corinthians 13: 1-13. into this controversy. However I do feel that there are a large number of people who are not going to be able to' avail their children to toe facilities of the type of educa­ tion that they as citizens right­ ly deserve and are going to re­ quire in their adult life if they are to take their place usefully and successfully in. our com­ munity and today and now. We have „ D__r __ township who are doing thelir best to take the township apart and put aside from the rest. I' will adpilh, that two or three years ago we thought this was 'an idea that had some merit and possibilities. As a board we explored the possibilities of dividing the' township in three1 parts1 ■— part to go to Clinton Public School —• part to Seaforth "Public School — part to go to Hensall Public School.' Before we could really de­ cide on the proper road to fol­ low we ran into, strong oppo­ sition from the same group which is today proposing the same plan almost exactly to toe letter.

Hord of Toronto, stressed the 'New Evangelism’ of the reaching out beyond the church itself into the world to- work, the world of politics, education, commerce, sports1 and home­ malting. ■» Mrs. Mills reporting as a del­ egate to' the recent annual meeting of the Huron Presby- terial UCW, held in Wesley- Willis United Church, spoke of the importance stressed by Mjiss Wilma Thomas of the Board of World Missions, of the work of the missionary in the modern world. Help is given on the mission fields in many ways other than the evangelistic way, as in the medical, agricultural and edu­ cational fields. Rev. W. M.

It would almost appear that they want to do anything to hold up the development of a better system of education in this Huron No. 1. Most of this group not have any children going to elementary schools of any blind. Some of them do not even own- property in the township or for that matter anywhere. No one will ever convince me that .these people are acting in the best interest of the future of School Area No. 1. These few people are think­ ing only, of themselves and holding Up the construction of this proposed school and the best possible form of education for this township. Last December at election time every man on the ballot for school board and all but one on the council ran either opposed or in favour of the pro­ posed school. The two board members in favour were both elected and two council mem­ bers and the Reeve in favour Were also elected. This should show Quite plain­ ly how the majority of the people in" the township feels. They want the school as pro­ posed and nothing less. On this Strength the board has gone ahead and purchased the building lot, engaged an .architect, formed a board com­ bining Stanley, Tuckersmith and BSyfield, drilled a well, hired a principal and advertised for tenders to construct the school, AU this hds ’been at a considerable cost in both dol­ lars and! time on the board and councils part. IS all this to be thrown away ahd disposed of? If so, What happens next? If this portion is to be allow­ ed to break away, a portion will theri be goling to Clinton, an­ other portion will want to go to Honsalh I can see the village of Bayfield again requesting that their school bo enlarged. Will part Of Hullett doser to Seaforth than Londdsbbro re­ quest that they be allowed to go to Seaforth, what about Mc- Kailop, will they want a por­ tion to be taken aWlay to Sea­ forth? Will part of Hullett want to go to Clinton? A re­ versal of the board’s decision. County School Area the organizers of have not. and will could have far-reaching effects. Regardless of where these Children go, facilities wiill have to be constructed to accommo­ date them, and if we think $700,000. sounds Mice1 a lot of money wait until we see toe bill for three or four structures. Besides cost, it is leaving most of the children in the three municipalities to take a far ^less effective education than they would receive in a large school of the type pro­ posed with all its flexibilities- to make the1 best possible use of the teachers strong points. With the teachers salaries and operating costs rising as they are I think we must plan carefully to get as much as we possibly can from each dollar invested. In this larger school I think we can expect toe ut­ most. Again in one school system for the three municipalities we .will have only one bus system instead of three or four. *If you do not think this would be a , considerable saving, ask some­ one in toe school bus business'. If any portion of this Town- . ship is taken awtay, then every other portion requesting the same would have to be granted permission if toe board is to be fair. We already have boun- .-- daries set up ' enclosing the three municipalities, I /th'ink they should remain as they are ■ for education Regarding Egmondville, that 75% of live in these do so mainly because of lower taxes at the Township rate. I” feel .sure that anyone wishing to send thelir children into Sea­ forth could do so with no op­ position from the School Area No. 1 board, and the lower tax­ es they have paid over toe years and will pay in years to1 come would off-set the tuition fee. . If these people still insist upon going into1 that school I think they should be annexed wholly into the town of Sea­ forth. If they are not annexed, I don’t think the people of Seaforth will be willing to pay for a bus to pick these children up and have their own walking to school. Some will argue that they would not need to be transported; I doubt whether the people at toe south end of Egmondville would agree. If the children are 'going to walk this distance I maintain that they are closer to Bruce­ field by bus and far safer than they would be walking or rid­ ing a bicycle to Seaforth School. I know toe school hoax’d1 has spent a great deal of time considering this school situation very carefully. It is not some­ thing that was decided over­ night. They have, decided on this proposal as the best pos­ sible form of education they can offer all the children in three municipalities regardless of where they live and dbllar- wise it Would be the most ecoh- omical. I strongly urge the ratepayers regardless of where you live to consider these feucits Very carefully. I think you will have to agree. The Department off Educa­ tion has approved So they must feel was sound. If we are going elected body to be manoeuvred around by small groups, I am quite sure we will get very few meh with any principles or con­ victions who will be willing to Stand for municipal elections. Ih any democracy I believe the majority should also., get con- sidera'tion. This delay is only increasing the cost to the ratepayers and depriving a lot of children bf the type of education that could be available to them. Some people should stop grind­ ing their oiwn personal axes and Using . other Unsuspoctiqg per­ sons to help them.
