Deathe, Dr. Alex Addison, Charles Rau and Alex Corrigan. Members chose Bob Elliott as their chairman for the 1971.72 term of office with John Broadfoot as vice-chairman. In his opening remarks to the board, Elliott re-echoed the words of the board's first chairman, John Lavis, that board members would have to grapple with the problem of red schoolitis . . . concern for one school in a particular part of Huron County rather than the entire educational picture in all the schools. "I don't know if we can ever get away from it," Elliott stated, "but we must try." He outlined plans to allow more time to discuss the aims and objectives in Huron schools, and called attention to Mrs. J. W. Wallace's enthusiasm for this subject to be introduced on some regular basis at the board meetings. He suggested the formation of an ad hoc committee of the board to review the policies made in the last two years and urged that these be studied in depth to ensure that everyone understood and approved them. Elliott said there was need for a transportation study as well and hoped that the board would soon be able to delve into this subject. The new chairman also praised the administrative staff of the Huron County Board of Education but warned that at no time should "the tail wag the dog." "They are still employees," added Elliott. "Though these people are learned, we are still the board members." Five ad hoc committees were also formed at this inaugural meeting. They include: Salary negotiations, Mrs. J. W. Wallace, Mrs. Marion Zinn, Alex Corrigan, Don McDonald, John. Henderson and John Broadfoot (one more member to be appointed).

Two more committees, the Advisory Vocational Committee and the Advisory Committee on Schools for Trainable Retarded Children, are still to be appointed. For at least the first two months of the new year, regular meetings of the board will be held on the first and third Mondays, with the agenda to include a period of perhaps one-half hour to discuss plans for future action, This period would be a forum-type discussion on any subject relative to education and any further action indicated by the board,would be referred to an ad hoc committee for investigation and report. The new system comes as the result of prodding by Mrs. J. W. Wallace who urged "more talking with teachers and experts on the matter of education in Ontario and more particularly Huron County." "We are not offering an adequate preparation for our young people in Huron County," said Mrs. Wallace. "We need more time to consider what's going on in the schools so we can spend the taxpayers' money intelligently. — Continued from front page receive $15. for each regular and special meeting plus 10c per mile for travelling.

A borrowing by-law was approved for $850,000, John Vintar spoke to the trustees on public relations, stressing the ' necessity of maintaining public relations. He offered some suggestions for further improvement in communication, Vintar stated that the principals' association has been involved at the staff level in an advisory capacity the principals meet monthly and are informed of board decisions and motions which affect their schools. The principals are then expected to pass this information to their respective staffs. Also, the principals are involved in the formation of policies prior to their presentation to the board by the administration. Too, a committee of principals makes recommendations regarding budget items which are considered during the preparation of the annual budget. It is believed this approach allows for an equitable disbursement of funds according to the needs of the schools. This approach was initiated because Mr. Vintar believes it is necessary to involve the schools more intimately in the decision making process. He pointed out the administration and consultants are called upon to speak to numerous groups of interested parents. These meetings allow for a two-way communication in which the aspirations of the local school community are recognized and the direction in which the board is moving is made known. In addition, schools are encouraged to invite the public on numerous occasions to attend activities such as open house, school fairs, concerts, sport activities and class projects related to school curriculum. Mr. Vintar suggested board members might wish to speak to various groups within the school community to keep the ratepayers abreast of board developments. He pointed out that in light of the desirability of maintaining open lines of communication some consideration might be given to' the invitation to a board meeting. of re presentation 'fool organizations ,such as Catholic Parent Teacher Associations, Ontario English,Oatholle Teachers' Association and Perth-Huron Deanery. This Occasion would enable the representatives to indicate to. the. board the aspirations or the hopes of the groups they represent. Vintar stated that plans. are underway for the printing of a newsletter - which will 'be distributed three times annually to the ratepayers within the two counties, The newsletter will contain information concerning sports, activities, excursions, Special programs, research projects,' program development and other special events which. are carried on within the schools, DANCE TO THE COUNTRY STRINGMASTERS MODERN COUNTRY AND OLDTIME SQUARE DANCING CALLER BILL MALPAGE LUCAN ARENA Sat., Jan. 9 9- 12:30 obituaries c.
