Huron Park, and Crown Attorney Laughter) said the accused was operating a motor vehicle at a high rate of speed and mothers had to take their children in for safety, He termed it "quite a display" in a dense residential area and the carelessness was indriving in such a manner in an area where there were so many children. The speed limit is 20 mph and the court was told the accused was driving at speeds in excess of 30 "with no care or attention to the safety of others." Defense lawyer D. J. Murphy claimed it wasn't an "exhibition" case, John F. Guenther, Dash- wood, was fined $100. He was charged following an accident on April 30 when his car went out of control on the Crediton Road near Shipka and sheared off several guide posts. Guenther told the court he leaned over to put a tape in the tape-deck in his car when he was driving along the road around 6:00 a.m. Damage in the crash was estimated at $2,000. Afine of $150 was levied against Jody Mosurinjohn, Huron Park, after he was found guilty of careless driving. The charge was laid on May 7 described in the accident. Damage in the crash was listed at over $600. Schroeder admitted being the driver but thought it "was just a slight clip" and nothing serious had happened. While noting that failing to remain at the scene of an ac- cident was not the charge being heard against Sehroeder, Judge Hays said it was a terrrible thing to do to another person, In levying the penalty, Judge Hays took into consideration the fact Schroeder had a previous conviction for impaired drivipg.

Board asked to consider moving office to Stratford Principal Graduates Arnold Mothers, principal of Huron Centennial School, near 13rucefield, graduated recently from the University of Toronto with a Master of Education degree. Ile also received his Supervisory Officer's certificate from the Dept. of Education. However, he said one of the considerations was that with the declining birthrate in Perth and in Huron, 26 percent decline in Perth and 40 percent in Huron, that regional school boards may -be forced to go into something larger, He said he foresees larger and larger school areas, and there is a possibility in the near future in order to exist it may be necessary to combine with other areas. With the office in Stratford it would put the board in the driver's seat he said. He spoke of the crowded 0 Bachelor of Mathematics Jim Knox, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Knox, Exeter, graduated with a Bachelor of Mathematics degree from the University of Waterloo. He is a former student of S.H.D.H.S. A Dashwood area man was sentenced to 15 days in Stratford jail when he appeared before Judge Glenn Hays in Exeter court, Tuesday. William Robertson lierdnian, FIR 3 Dashwood, was found guilty of driving while his license was under suspension on March 11. His license had been suspended for impaired driving, On the date he was charged, Herdman was involved in an accident while driving to Zurich with his four children. Judge Glenn Hays told the accused that driving while under suspension was a flagrant case of contempt of court. He also said he was aware that a jail term would be a hardship, but noted that Herdman's driving record was so bad he was a menace on the roads. His record included two impaired driving and two speeding charges, "I must think of his family, but I must also think of other people on the road," the Judge com- mented, He was told that Herdman had applied for a welding course under the Canada Manpower retraining program and Acting Crown Attorney C,. V, Laughton, Q.C, , Exeter, pointed out he could get free board by being sentenced to jail in Stratford. The lawyer noted he would probably be given day parole to attend the classes. Edward Schroeder, RR 2, Zurich, was fined $150 and had his license suspended for three months after pleading guilty to a charge of careless driving.

Murphy questioned if the children had a right ta be playing in the street, and noted that with so many small children it was not even safe to be driving a car normally, He continued that the parents had some obligation to keep children off the street and in fact the accused had a right to be there. However, Judge Hays con- tended the accused was not using the road in an orthodox way, was creating a Sunday racket and was not acting his age as a married man and father, He said his actions were potentially dangerous and motor vehicles should never be used as play-things.

Carl Keane of St. Joseph's parish in Stratford was present at the meeting of the Huron-Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board Monday night with a proposal that the board move its administrative offices from Seaforth to St, Joseph's convent, 82 Huron Street, Stratford, which will become vacant at the end of this month when the Loretto Sisters vacate the building. A special request was made by chairman James Morris of Stratford to permit Father Keane to make his proposal to the board in view of the fact it was not on the agenda. He also asked that a decision be made on the proposal as well. A motion by Trustee Vincent Young of Goderich was made to permit Father Keane to speak, but Mr, Young said his motion did not guarantee an immediate decision as this would be im- possible to do prior to hearing the proposal. This motion was seconded by Trustee F, J, Vere of Stratford and a majority vote allowed Father Keane to speak. In speaking of the Loretto convent, Father Keane said it was a building to satisfy the board's needs, only ten years old and in peak condition, with the chapel more than adequate as a board room and with plenty of rooms for private offices for the administrative staff and religious consultants, kitchen and washroom facilities and with ample parking space. In making the proposal he spoke of the costs of the venture, saying rental costs would be approximately $500 per month or $6,000 per year. He said the taxes, changing from a residential to a business building would be over $3,000, to be paid by the parish. He estimated electrical heating costs at $900, electricity, $240 and water, $90, He said that one of the problems was that the location was not central for the Huron- Perth area, a real problem.

Father Keane invited the board to lease or rent the convent for as long or as short a time as desired. He said he might mention that he did not speak out of panic, he had nothing concrete at the present time, He explained his amjor concern was that the building was built by catholics, and that it be used by catholic people. Trustee Michael Connolly of Kippen asked: "Why do you feel the present board offices are crammed? Who told you this?" Father Keane replied from his personal knowledge when visiting the religious consultants that there was not enough privacy in the upper area. Mr. Connolly replied: "I feel you are out of line," Trustee Vincent Young of Goderich said that with a year and a half yet to go with the lease on the present board offices in Seaforth he could not see renting two buildings for that period of time. To this, Father Keane replied that the board may be interested in renting some of the space for overflow in the convent. He said he would rather see a portion used than. leave itvacant. Board vice-chairman, John McCann of Ailsa Craig, questioned storage facilities for supplies at the convent, saying that with storage only in the cellar, trucks could not back up to the doorway. Father Keane felt this would be no problem with trucks able to get to the back door. Mr. McCann said he felt it would be costly with the board office not in the centre of the area, but away at one end. Joseph Looby of Dublin, who said he was strongly opposed to a move to Stratford, spoke of another convent which would be vacant soon and "it was built by good catholics too." After Father Keane left, the meeting Chairman James Morris postponed any discussion on the proposal to the end of the meeting However, with the board meeting continuing until almost midnight June 19 was set as a date for holding a special meeting to discuss Father Keane's proposal, Accidents — Continued from Front Page was struck by a southbound vehicle on Empress Ave. Constable Bill Lewis in- vestigated and listed damage at $60.
