Retirement banquet plan
spark school board debate
They also serve who only stand and wait. Bob Bridge and
• Randy Somers had completed digging a hole for one of the
trees which pupils of Brussels school planted as a Centennial
project on the school grounds on Tuesday morning and were
waiting while other pupils planted the tree. In all more than
100 trees were planted on the school property. (Staff Photo)

One of the biggest problems
was to define retirement - and
after considerable thought, the
board members agreed that the
policy should state "all those
.who have retired in the past
four years and are not eligible
to be rehired on a fulltime basis
by the board."
It was left to the education
committee to select a time and
a place for the honors banquet,
The recommendation, of
course, was part and parcel of
the board's effort to improve re-
lations with the staff and the peo-
ple of Huron County. As chair-
man of the board, Robert M. El-
liott pointed out, "Had the old
boards been in existence, they
would have had something to hon-
or those who retired."
One of the main topics for
discussion at Monday evening's
board of education meeting in
Clinton concerned an education
committee recommendation to
arrange a dinner for all teach-
ing and non-teaching employees
of the board who have retired in
the past four years - or since the
board came into being in January
1969.

New airstrip
planned for
Brussels
Brussels will have an air-
strip. Jack. McDonald has pur-
chased 28 acres of land on the
farm of Jack Bryans at the south
east limits of Brussels. Mr.
McDonald stated he will build
an airstrip on 23 acres of his
newly acquired property and the
remaining five acres will be used
for residential development.
Residents in that area of the
village shmild not be alarmed at
th e prospect of aircraft take-
offs and landings in their vicin-
ity for they will take off and
land either over the river or
wooded area.

June. It has been estimated
guests could number 100, but
this has not been substantiated.
John Taylor of the Wingham
area was opposed to the scheme.
He said that employees in his
part of the county were honoured
by their fellow workers upon
retirement. He felt a retire-
ment dinner by the board was
unnecessary.
"what is it going to gain?"
Mr. Taylor asked.
Vice-chairman John Broad-
foot said that not all areas in
the county recognize the retiring
staff members.
"They may be treated royally
in the north," he said, "but a
county board should treat all
employees equally."
The board noted it was clear-
ly an "effort to catch up" on
overdue recognition for retiring
staff members. It was further
agreed to present each honored
guest with a scroll for his or her
achievements.
Hensail's Jim Taylor sug-
gested the scrolls be mailed to
the employees and the dinner be
