plete unfinished business which

Monday, in spite of an almost
four-hour session. On the
agenda will be a proposal for

What's new at Huronview?
One hundred and fifty
students of Colborne Central
School visited the Home on
Friday Afternoop,,and presented
an operetta "The Pied Piper of
Hamelin". The Residents en-
joyed this performance very
much, as it took them back to
their schooldays when this
story was in one of their
readers. A great deal of credit
is due to the students and
teachers for this fine display of
talent. Mrs. McClure, a great
grandmother of one of the
students, thanked all those
responsible for the program on
behalf of the Residents.
The Bayfield volunteers
assisted with Monday's ac-
tivities with Mrs. Myrtle
Parker joining Norman Speir
and Jerry Collins to provide
the music for the afternoon.
The over 90 Club met on
Wednesday afternoon and were
entertained by three ladies
from Wingham. Mrs.
McNaughton gave three
'readings and joined Mrs.
Bosman with .several vocal
duets accompanied at the piano
by Mrs. Goy. Following the
program tea and cookies were
provided by the kitchen staff
assisted by a volunteer Mrs.
Luckham of Clinton.
The music committee and the
young people of the Bayfield
Baptist! Church provided the
program for "Family Night."
Mrs. Pearson thanked the
group on behalf of the
Residents' for the hour of
singing and 'musical numbers.

Obituary
Edna A. Taylor, (nee
Walper) formerly of Exeter and
Grand Bend, passed away in
Queensway Nursing Home in

1974, in her 87th year. She was
the beloved wife of the late

of Mrs. Jack (Margaret) Rober-
tson, Galt; Mrs. William
(Isabelle) McMullin, North Bay;
Mrs. William (Alice) Walker,
London; Mrs. William (Fran-
ces) Mickle, Hensall. Also sur-
viving are nine grandchildren.

UCW General Meeting
The May general meeting of
Hensall UCW was held Mon-
day evening in the Fellowship
Hall of the Church with guests
present from Carmel
Presbyterian Arnold Circle, St,
Penis ACW, and Chiselhurst
UCW, Unit IV members conduc-
ted the devotional which con-
sisted of Mrs. J. McAllister
presiding and reading a poem.
Mrs. R. Erratt read scripture,
from Proverbs and Mrs. Shirley
Luther gave a very interesting
few thoughts on home and
mother, with Sunday being
Mothers Day. She said mother
is the name for God on the lips
and in the hearts of little
children. Mrs. C. Britton gave a
Mothers Day prayer. "My Cup
Runneth Over" a version of the
23rd psalm, was read by Mrs.
McAllister. The offering was
taken up by Mrs. Grace Peck
and Mrs. Elva Forrest.
Kay Elder introduced her
cousin's daughter, Miss Vicki
Hale, who sang two very
beautiful solos accompanied by
Mrs. Helen Goddard on the
piano. Mrs. McAllister in-
troduced the guest speaker,
Mrs. Malcydm (Jane) Davidson
from Brdcefield. Jane was
dressed in a beautiful blue sari
and she gave a very interesting
resume of her life before, while,
and after she was in India. She
spoke of India being very
mountainous and if a flat piece
of land is found, it is cherished.
Cattle and other animals are
not allowed to graze because of
the danger of falling in these
mountains, so are kept in pens
twelve months of the year. She
said that while India has a lot
of beauty, it also has its
ugliness and poverty. She said
it amazed her how the Indian
children with so little
sometimes to eat and very
scanty clothes and bare feet
were so happy children. She
said they were always smiling
and thankful. She found the
temperature very cold at times
and found it hard to keep
warm.
Jane showed very colourful
slides of India, where she lived
and places she had travelled.
Most interesting were the slides
of the boys working with their
chickens on the roof of the
school. This is the way that
Father Abraham is helping the
boys to earn enough money to
go to school by teaching them
to raise care for and sell eggs.
While •there, Jane • helped to
look after these chickens and
also taught English to a class
of 40 children.
Jane showed a bag of
souvenirs she had brought
home, bride and groom dolls in
native costume, copper dishes
they eat from, boots, a sari, a
Buddah, a belt and a handbag.
Jane said she hopes very much
to be able to return to India
very soon. President Kay Mock
thanked everyone who had
taken part in the meeting and
presented Jane with a gift of
money which will be sent on to
Father Abraham to help with
his work in India.
Doreen Spencer gave the
treasurer's report, and Helen
Scane gave the friendship and
visitation report. Mrs. Pearl
Erratt gave a supply and
welfare report and announced
there is to be a bale packed at
the Church on May 14. Flower
convener report was given by
Sadie Hoy. Kay announced the
Beef Barbecue to be held on
May 29, and closed the meeting
with prayer. Members of Unit
II served a delicious lunch.

BY WILMA OKE
The Huron-Perth County
Roman Catholic separate
school board Monday turned
down a proposal by a vote of
11-2 to hold school board
meetings in the 19 schools in
the two counties on a rotating
basis.
Michael Connolly of RR 3,
Kippen chairman of the board,
in his inaugural address said
one of the priorities for the year
was in the area of com-
munication between board,
teachers and parents and spoke
of the importance of keeping
channels of communication
open. Following his address,
Howard Shantz of Stratford
suggested one way of keeping
communication channels open
between the board and the
parents would be for the second
board meeting each month to
be held in.one of the-19 schop14
in the two counties until all the,
schools were covered.
When the proposal was
brought up again at the
meeting Monday, it was
suggested it would be incon-
venient for the administrative
staff to have all the additional
information necessary for the
meetings available at the
school where the meeting
would be held. (Often during
meetings it is necessary for a
member of staff to go to the
files for material to provide in-
formation for a trustee during a
discussion.)
The cost factor was con-
sidered—the increased mileage
costs would be considerable for

Agricultural Technology at
graduation ceremonies there

the trustees to travel to one end
of the two counties rather than
for them to meet at a central
point, as the board office in
Seaforth is.
Michael Connolly said that if
any delegation wished to at-
tend a particular meeting, he
would be happy to accom-
modate it.
The general consensus
seemed to be that as no
requests for meetings to be held
in any particular area had been
received it was decided that the
meetings continue in the board
room with Howard Shantz and
David Teahen opposed.
Joseph Looby of Dublin em-
phasized to the press that
anyone is welcome to attend a
regular board meeting, but ad-
ded they would not be able to
attend a committee-of-the-
whole meeting.
The property and main-
tenance committee was voted
$5,000 additional to the
$19,000 already granted that
committee, so that the
necessary maintenance work
such as repairing and painting
can be completed.
Jack Lane, business ad-
ministrator, was authorized to
attend a conference in Toronto
May 26, 27 and 28 to be held by
the Ontario Association of
School Business officials.
The Muskoka Board of
Education forwarded a
resolution that legislation be
amended to provide that school
buses be required to operate
their flashing signals when
loading or unloading school
students from a street or road-
way unless unobstructed
sidewalks are provided
together with a system of
crosswalks or signal lights so
that students may cross the
street or roadway safely. A copy
of the board's 1972 resolution,,
similar to the above, will be
forwarded to the Muskoka
Board for information.
