The dispatcher would get in- formation concerning the location and seriousness of a blaze correct. Fire brigades would be sent to the right places. Warden Elston summed up the discussion saying that a study into the feasibility of the central dispatching system would not be law, only a look at what could be done and how much it would cost. In further debate about the Development committee's report, council members asked about wages set for the county weed inspector at $3.75 an hour plus 15 cents per mile and,three commissioners receiving $3.25 an hour plus 15 cents per mile effective Jan, 1., 1974. Mr. Campbell explained the jobs of these county employees. He said the weed inspector, who is available to all county municipal municipalities, in- vestigates complaints about weeds and acts on them as he sees fit. • Farmers in the district wishing an Ontario Farm Record book may pick one up free of charge from the Times Advocate office. They are supplied by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Also it is again farm record book analysis time. Anyone who may wish to have a completed 1973 Farm Record Book analyzed should contact the Ministry of Agriculture office in Clinton as soon as possible.

Tree commissioners approve activities such as the bulldozing of bushes. Responding to a question about why the weed inspector would receive a larger wage than tree commissioners, Mr. Campbell said that the inspector had more responsibilities. He told council that the in- spector had to handle poisonous sprays and needed a license to do his job. When council accepted the Development Committee's report it supported a resolution from Perth County that stated more conservation officers be put on duty to enforce hunting laws in the 32 townships in the Wingham area. At present, there are only four. The resolution will be passed on to Leo Bernier, Ontario Minister of Natural Resources. Car recovered, others smashed An automobile reported stolen to the Exeter police department Thursday was found later in the day in a parking lot in the downtown area. The car was taken from the laneway beside the residence of Fred Lankamp, 31 Church street. The first of two accidents in- vestigated in Exeter this week occurred at 9.35 a.m. Friday and involved vehicles driven by William Burbine, 187 Palmerston street, Goderich and Mary P. Chalifoux, RR 1, Chatham. The accident at the in- teresection of Highways 4 and 83 was investigated by Chief Ted Day who set damages at $185. Monday morning, three vehicles' were involved in a mishap on the South Huron District Bigh School parking lot. The drivers were Curtis Neeb, RR 2, Crediton; Douglas Fair- bairn, 148 Sanders street Exeter and Elaine Baptie, 163 Columbia Drive, Huron Park, Constable George Robertson estimated total damage at $680. Executive Committee should be empowered to appoint special committees without council approval. The Executive Committee would be able to appoint mem- bers to standing committees of special committees in the event of a member resigning or in the case of a member's death. Cecil Desjardine, executive committee chairman, said that his group did not want to take that responsibility. Special committee members receive extra pay, matters concerning money should come before the council as a whole. The executive committee also recommended to council that a special committee be formed annually to review and consider salaries of department heads. The warden would be chairman of this committee, In making salary recom- mendations, the committee would present its reports to the council as a whole. The report also called on Huron county to support a resolution from the County of Lanark that At the inaugural meeting of the Huron. County Board of Education in Clinton. Monday E. Cayley Hill, Goderich, chairman of the board, made the following inaugural address: "An inaugural address should not dwell on the past but rather should state a current position and outline major objectives for the year ahead. "'Phis is the start of the sixth year for the Huron County Boded of Education. In the early yeas, much time had to be taken .1)Y,: trustees and administration officials in the formation 6( programs, procedures and policies. Much of this work is now behind us and while up-dating and changes will, be required from time to time, we can now turn our attention more directly to the current and future needs of our community. "At the end of last year, a report of the school visitation program was presented to the board and this outlined some of the basic problems in our schools at what might be called the operations level. "It is my hope that at an early date, this board can give serious thought to the subjects raised in this submission and develop a program with priorities to overcome the problems which exist. Solutions must be found if we are going to have equality of opportunity in our Huron County educational system. "Considerable progress toward the development of a better understanding between our board! and our teaching staff has been achieved, and this program must be continued. While differences may from time to time develop, we must have a mechanism which will allow us to sit down and solve problems in a fair and just manner. As trustees, we have overall responsibility and authority, but we must use and measure our prerogatives wisely. "1974 has every indication of being a year in which we will experience a continued in- flationary trend, This will in- crease our problems in budgeting and may force us to seek ad- ditional monies through taxation. Unquestionably, our costs of operation are going to be higher. We will have to face such problems in an objective manner and deal with these subjects in a way so as to ensure that we are giving our ratepayers the best value possible for their taxation dollar. "Inequities which may exist in the provincial educational assistance program which have an adverse effect on our type of H-P school board, fills positions The Huron-Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board members meeting in Seaforth Monday night eleected Trustee Francis Hicknell, RR 5 Seaforth, to represent the board on the Huron-Perth TB and Respiratory Diseases Association for 1974.

"There are most definitely differences in costs experienced by the boards across the province. It may be that weighting factors and other supplements are not sufficient to provide for equality of education across the provinee. Where such problems effect us, we must take action with the proper authorities to seek a fair resolution. "While the general public is aware of our existence as an arm of county government, few really know and understand the func- tion of trusteeship in education. 'NC/often trustees, and the board, are thought of in the negative. We establish salaries endplay a part in setting taxation levels, but that is not, as you know, our prime function. "It seems a step should be taken toward making the public more aware of what we are doing and what the problems are. We should not dwell on any desire for better publicity unless it is warranted, but we should try to expand public awareness of our activities, to better inform our citizens in the trends and state of the county education structure. "We, have, in our teachers and suppOrting staff, people who have dedicated their working lives to educating our children — and their work must be made better known — to be fully appreciated. We must find means to ac- complish this. "As well, we must encourage capable people within our community to come forward as prospective trustees, so as to ensure continuity at board level, when some of us decide to retire. "I am very proud of the op- portunity to serve once again as your chairman. We have a good board of conscientious trustees. One thing I have always found is that once a decision is made by the board, all members support it, regardless of prior discussion. This is indicative .of the proper spirit of board work, "Undoubtedly we will have problems to deal with in 1974 and some will be serious ones. However, if we maintain as a board the spirit of co-operation that has been demonstrated in the past, we can, with the support of our competent administration group, have a very successful year." Meeting in committee of the A committee appointed by RAP is beginning work in' the near future on investigating all the grant possibilities for the board in all facets of recreation. RAP members Bruce Shaw, Jack Underwood and Ruth Durand are being joined by Arnold Mathers, Allan. Taylor and Gary Balsdon in the fact finding venture. They will be determining all the provincial subsidies which could be available for con- struction of a sports complex. This would include a new arena, indoor swimming pool and baseball and other sport facilities. Shaw said he hopes his com- mittee will be able to make their first report to the full RAP committee at the February meeting. At Monday's regular meeting, the board gave arena manager Alvin Willert the authority to make arrangements with Exeter. Public School for use of the arena's gymnasium by physical education classes at the school during the proposed renovations. The gym will be provided free of charge if arrangements can be made with the Board of whole the board discussed the absence of the secondary school teachers in Huron, \ ho joined thousands of teachers across the province on December 18 and stayed „,away from school to protest against government legislation. Following the discussion the. trustees decided that any secondary school teacher not at school on December 18 will lose a day's pay. Education for cleaning of the room, Willert was told to go ahead and purchase a spare panel for the time clock at the arena. The cost will be about $300. Just before Christmas, the present clock which was pur- chased several years ago by the Exeter Minor Hockey Association quit and was sent away for repairs. RAP chairman Gord Baynham suggested a panel or two be purchased in conjunction with other arenas possibly at Lucan and Ilderton to be used in emergency. This was ruled out by other members who felt many problems, inconveniences would arise with the possiblity of the clock failing at the arena which had just lent another town the spare panel. Approval was given to Ruth Durand to organize senior citizens five pin bowling, probably each Wednesday af- ternoon. Anyone wishing to participate in this seniors program should contact, Mrs. Durand, Mrs. John Varley or Senior Citizens secretary Ted Chambers.
