Out of ther 120 boards the cost of educating Huron County elementary students at $11 per pupil cost for business ad- ministration tied with Niagara South for the third least ex- pensive function in Ontario. In operations and main- tenance, at $58 an elemen- tary pupil, Huron has the least expensive function in Ontario. In instruction, at $454 a pupil, Huron is twenty-first lowest, In actual ordinary expenses at $533 per elementary pupil, Huron was ninth lowest in the province. In other business at the Huron County board of education meeting in Clinton Monday af- ternoon the salary schedule for drivers of board owned school buses was presented, retroactive to September 1, 1973. The board will pay the bus drivers $2,250 per year in ten equal monthly payments and will pay spare bus drivers $11.25 per day. Sick leave will be paid for ten (10) days at $11.25 per day, if not used, paid in cash. For field trips the hourly rate will be in- creased to $3.00 per hour with a minimum of $6,00 per trip. J. W. Coulter, superintendent of program and planning, in- formed the board that nine students representing high schools in Goderich, Clinton and Wingham, have completed painting three murals depicting the history of Benmiller. These students worked under an Opportunities for Youth grant of the federal government. Artist J. W. McLaren of Benmiller and board of education personnel provided resource help. The three high schools will receive the murals.

Q. history of Benmiller and con- sideration is being given to publishing it, Mr. McLaren has applied to the Canada Council for a senior art grant to complete the large mural he has planned of Ben- miller and has been given backing by the Board. D. J. Cochrane, director of education reported on the 50th Convention of the Canadian Education Association held in Vancouver in September which he attended along with Trustees Herb Turkheim of Zurich and Mrs. Donald Kunder of Seaforth. The convention next year, Sep- tember 25-27, 1974 will be held in Regina, Saskatchewan. At a regular Huron County board reduction meeting on September 17, Trustee Herb Turkheim of Zurich presented a petition from 62 students declaring that Exeter Coach Lines Bus No. 4 to South Huron District High School is over crowded. R.L. Cunningham, tran- sportation manager for the board, reported the bus being used has a manufacturer's rated capacity of 72 students, but a legal capacity according to specifications from Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications of 69 students, of which approximately one-third of the seating capacity can stand. It was reported there were 73 students eligible to ride the bus on this route, therefore there are four more students than legal capacity if all ride the bus at one time. It was reported that some students drive the family car. Mr. Turkheim said, "It may be legal but I believe it is criminal", referring to so many students standing. He objected too, to the Ministry of Transportation ruling that three secondary students can sit in the 39" seats on the bus. Jack Alexander of Wingham said that Jack Riddell, MPP for Huron, is preparing a Bill to put before the Ontario Government on school bus safety about which he isconcerned,and this Bill could include a recommendation that three secondary students should not have to sit in one 39" seat. The board voted that the ad- ministrative staff investigate the county situation as a whole to find out what costs would be involved to have all students seated while travelling on a bus. The board voted to invite John H. Byler of the Gorrie Amish Parochial School to attend the next board meeting, along with a delegation from his school, to determine if an arrangement can be worked out for the Amish children to be transported to their school at RR 1 Wroxeter by the Huron Board while transporting students to Howick Central Public School. Four students presently at- tending the Ontario School for the Deaf in Milton will be attending the new school for the deaf in London beginning January 4. The board will continue to employ the services of Brooke Trailways at a monthly rate of $53.80 per student for the period Sep- tember 1973, to December, 1973, In January the agreement will be re-negotiated when the students are transferred to London. Weekend transportation is provided by the board for four children from their homes in Huron to Milton. Mrs. Marie Toll, principal at Walton Public School, asked for additional supervisory assistance before classes begin in the morning because 32 children are delivered by bus to the school by 8:15 a.m. Trustee John Hen- derson approved her request, but in a recorded vote asked by him, the board voted for the present teachers at the school to take turns at supervision. Voting yes: J.P. Alexander, John Broadfoot, Kenneth Cooke, Alex Corrigan, C. McDonald, John Westbrook, Herb Turkheim and Mrs. Marion Zinn. Voting no, John Henderson, Mrs, D. Wallace and Mrs. Donald Kunder, Not voting was acting chairman, Wilfred Shortreed and Separate School representative on Board, Charles Rau. Absent from meeting were E,C. Hill, board- chairman; H. Hayter and Donald McDonald. Ray Stewart was hired as custodian at Howick Central Public School, The board accepted the resignation of W.T. Langille of Goderich as school attendance counsellor, effective October 31. Five leaves of absence were requested from teachers: John Ball of Seaforth has re-applied for the board's nomination to a Department of National Defence European school with the offer to release the board from holding his position open if he is selected; Reg Finkbeiner of Crediton requested he be nominated to a Department of National Defence European school; and Graham N. Russell of RR 2 Seaforth, a teacher at Central Huron Secondary School requested leave of absence in order to engage in Christian missionary activities in Dominica, West Indies, from July 1974 until early in August 1975. The above three requests were approved on the understanding that although they will be given preferential treatment in the filling of staff vacancies in the county upon their return from such leave of absence, the board offers no guarantee that a teaching position will exist. A field trip for 80 to 100 grade 10 history students of South Huron on a three-day trip to Ottawa, November 15, 16 and 17 was approved at no cost to board. They will have an opportunity to see their nation's capital, Parliament buildings, National War Museum, the Mint, etc. An additional specific learning disabilities teacher will be hired, effective January 1. Mrs. W. Zinn, chairman of the education committee, gave a report on outdoor education facilities at the MacDowell property and expressed the opinion that this property had great potential for development as an outdoor education site. In other business the board accepted the resignation of Donald S. McKee, effective October 15 and approved a request that Mrs. E. Merrill, teacher at Blyth Public School be permitted to attend the Direc- tors' meeting, Federation of Women Teachers' Associations of Ontario on Thursday March 28 and Friday March 29, 1974, The Federation which made the request will reimburse the board the costs of supplying a teacher during Mrs. Merrill's absence. Four field trips for students at South Huron District High School were approved: 35 to 40 students, members of the Junior Outers Group, for an overnight trip in the Exeter area on October 19 to October 20, inclusive at no cost to the board; 25 to 30 students, members of the Senior Outers group, for an excursion for three days October 19 to October 21, inclusive to the Tobermory- Cypress Lake area, at no cost to the board; 25 students, members of the Senior Outers group for an overnight trip to the Maitland River area from November 10 to November 11, inclusive at no cost to the board; 40 fourth year students on a one-day excursion to Greenfield Village,Detroit, Michigan, on a suitable day during thefirstweek in November at a cost to the board and charged to the budget of the South Huron District High School of $105.00 The development committee for a proposed Lake Huron Park- way system has completed a report and will be asking support of three groups to obtain a feasibility study from the provincial government. The committee headed by chairman Anson McKinley, the reeve of Stanley township is composed of representatives from the City of Sarnia and the counties of Huron and Lambton. Spence Cummings, develop- ment officer for Huron said Monday the report would be considered by Huron county council on Friday of this week. Approval will also be sought from Lambton and Sarnia. The concept of a Lake Huron Parkway envisions a regional tourist development from the Bluewater bridge in Sarnia along the shore of Lake Huron north to the junction of highways 86 and 21 at Amberley. The Lake Huron Parkway would serve three major pur- poses. These would include day use recreation, weekend camping and major cottage areas. The report says, "the recreational potential of this Parkway is boundless. Its proximity to dense population, miles of shoreline, clear waters, fishing, swimming, harbours and winter sports to provide a unique combination of tourist resour- ces." "The first challenges of the Parkway will be to attempt to provide public access to the shoreline of Lake Huron at regular intervals, assess the needs for adequately serviced harbours and boat refuges, study future highway needs in preparation for increased tourist and local travel and provide long range planning in co-operation with local municipalities and lakeside towns," Supporters of the Parkway system hope to fulfill these needs and feel it would act as a catalyst in the creation of a dynathic tourist resource. In addition to chairman Anson McKinley the vice-chairman of the group is Andy Brandt and the secretary-treasurer is Mrs. Marie Coulter. Both are Sarnia aldermen. Huron representatives on the committee are McKinley, Cummings, Deb Shewfelt,Girvin Reed and warden Roy Pattison. From Lambton county are Warden James Moran and reeves Ken James, Thomas Steadman, Bob Sharen and Bruce Scott. Other Sarnia members are aldermen John Matheson and After three successful U.S. sailboat shows, Bayfield Boat Yard Ltd. will be exporting a major percentage of its %i production of Bayfield 23's and the recently designed Bayfield 30, The unique design and quality of the Bayfield yachts seems responsible for the overwhelming acceptance they have received at their recent shows, Dealers have been set up along the Great Lakes and the Atlantic east coast as far south as Annapolis, Maryland. This new exposure of the Bayfield yachts has sold out their production for a 12 month period Norman Shipley and mayor Paul Blundy. The first steps to create a Lake Huron Parkway were taken about a year and a half ago by former Grand Bend reeve John Payne. and should. amount to a lgrqSs production figure of $00,00410 to the U.S. .alone, not counting existing Canadian business and dealers. It is expected that during the coming year, Bayfield Boat Yard Ltd. and their Bayfield yachts will be one of the most popular .and well-known on the North American continent. Bayfield Boat Yard Ltd. wishes to express its thanks to all staff and local suppliers of materials who have helped make this possible. (Advert) Insurance WADE Agency D. T.
