Peggy Rivers told the board she represented a group of people in the Goderich area “concerned with the quality of education offered” and who feel it is worthwhile to “spend time showing support for our educational system, for the board that administers it and for the teachers involved in it.” Rivers said the Goderich group did not favor banning the books and also was unhappy with the methods used by the group proposing their banning. She said decisions made by councils in the county supporting the ban were based on quotations “arbitrarily selected from the books by a person or persons.” She added that the motions by the councils were sent to county secondary schools without prior consultation with the board of education, “an act we consider a gross Town asks Authority for erosion control Following a session with Ausable-Bayfield Conser­ vation Authority resources manager Don Pearson at their meeting, Monday, Exeter council agreed to request the Authority to undertake erosion control work along the remainder of the south and north bank of the river between the local dam and the Highway 4 bridge. Estimated cost of the project was listed at ap­ proximately $33,000 by Pearson, who indicated it may be eligible for an 85 percent grant. Exeter’s share would be ap- proximatley 1'3% percent with the Authority assuming the balance. Only the completion of the gabion baskets on the south bank will be considered for next year’s budget, the balance of the work to be staged over the next three or four years. Pearson said there didn’t appear to be any problem in getting the project designated as erosion control for the south bank, but there may be some question of whether the north bank would be considered in the same vein by the ministry. Their decision could alter the amount of subsidy to be received on that portion of the project. infringement on the rights and responsibilities of the board.” Rivers said the methods used in selecting ob­ jectionable material from the books made it obvious that no “intelligent and logical evaluation of the literary merit and worth of the books can be made without a complete evaluation of them.” She said the three books were widely acclaimed by scholars to be of superior literary merit and to deprive students of Huron the right to study them would be to “isolate them in a vacuum devoid of any realistic connection with con­ temporary society.” She said the claim that the books and the teachers using them were attempting to turn our youth into “vulgar, filthy, ungodly individual's is absurd.” Rivers said the books have been used in the county system for more than ten years and only in senior grades by students old enough to vote, sit on juries and sign contracts. She said their use had no adverse affect to date adding that surely a person old enough to decide if someone is guilty of a criminal offence is old enough to read any book they choose. Rivers said that a person reading a book is not necessarily influenced by the idealogy of it. She said someone reading Mein Kampf does not automatically become—a Nazi and someone read"g the biography of John Diefenbaker does not necessarily become a Progressive Conservative. Rivers told the board that the “notoriety Huron County has received by even raising the issue is not something we should be proud of.” She said the image the county is receiving on a national level as a result of the issue is leaving “false impressions from which we will be years recovering.” She said the groups presenting their support of the materials were not ad­ vocating their mandatory use but was protecting the right of selection by secondary school teachers. She said the move to ban the books indicated the people of Huron felt better qualified to judge course content than the professional teachers they employ. Paul Ross told the board he represented a group of people from the Clinton area that opposed the proposed banning of the books. Ross told the board that he didn’t feel the material in the books was obscene but that the method used to make them appear obscene was “to my mind obscene.” “They used a simple children’s arithmetic method that says the whole is equal to the sum of the parts,” he said, “they’ve taken parts of the novels and said that these equal the total and that is an ob­ scenity.” AREA OBITUARIES Ross said that the teachers in the county should be left with the decisions they are trained to make. He said they have the expertise to decide if material is fit for use in county classrooms and are trained and hired to make those decisions. A public meeting on the issue of the book banning will be held in Clinton June 13 at the high school. Authors Pierre Berton and June Callwood are expected to attend.
