The Brussels Post, 1973-02-28, Page 6Beginning on. March 5 fifty
pupils in the town of St. Marys
living one mile or more from
Holy Name School will be trans-
ported by bus to and from school.
The twice daily transportation
will be provided by Murphy Bus
Lines at a cost of $36 per day
until the end of 'the school term
on June 30.
This new service inSt. Marys
follows the policy of the Huron-
Perth County Roman Catholic
Separate School Board in up-
dating its transportation services
in the two counties. Previously
only children from outside the
town have been bused to the
school. •
The Board at its meeting in
Seaforth Monday also approved
having the existing route of the
Montgomery Bus Lines revised
to allow for the addition of a
station wagon service to trans-
port the pupils from Blyth and
Belgrave areas attending Sacred
Heart School, Wingham, effec-
tive March 5.
The Board approved having
John Vintar, Superintendent of
Education, contact the Huron
County Board ' of Education re-
questing the privilege of inte-
grating transportation services
for all pupils attending Sacred
Heart School, winghann. Turn-
berry Central Public School, and
F • E.Madill SecondarySchool with
particular emphasis on the align-
ment of dismissal times at all
schOols mentioned to accom-
„ modate the request.
Eric Taylor, Public Works
Superintendent for -the ToWn of
St. Marys, will be invited to
attend the next meeting of the
Board On March 12 to explain
why the Town of St. Marys re-
cadres the Board to pay fifty
per cent of the construction cost
to provide a sanitary sewer to
service the new addition to be
built at Holy Name School this
spring.
Mr.Vintar informed the
Heard he had been advised that
that the Loretto Order WaS
withdrawing from Stratford at
the end of the school year, thus
Creating Vacancies in the Men• -
Cipaiships of St. Joseph and St. ,
Ambrose Schools in Stratiord
and a vacancy in special educat-
ion Class at St: Aloyeles School,
Stratford. Stratford is the only
location of the Loretto' Order in
Perth and Huron CotintieS,
Mr. Vintar said he had also
been infdrined that the St,JOSeph
Sisters would be withdrawn iToin St. Patrick's School at KirikOra
at the etid Of the SdhOOl term
thus creating a vacancy in the
priridipalship and one' teaching
position.
ivir.Vintar"reported the moves sweted by the :conservative can, BRUSSELS POST, OertitUAit V28; 103
are necessitated apparently by
the decreasing numbers in the
orders and a necessary consoli-
dation within larger centres.

ford was awarded a one-year
contract for the cleaning of twelve
classrooms, plus the library, in
St. Michael's School in Strat-
ford, at $6,000, lower of two

Trustee Ted Geoffrey of R,R.
2, Zurich, reported for an Ad
Hoc Committee which studied the
Ministry of Education's paper
titled Response To Change and
a presentation by Stewart Oakes,
Deputy Director of Region 5,
Ministry of Education, to the
Huron-Perth Board trustees.
Specific aspects of the pro-
gram which impressed the com-
mittee, Mr. Geoffrey said, were:
A. The Flexibility of the Pro-
gram --student no longer locked
into a particular progra m but
may choose from a wider range
of alternatives. Too, a student
may move ahead or reach back
to select subjects from .the
school's total curriculum. A
student may select a program
which will suit his individual
needs and abilities. B. The
student and his parents in consul-
tation with the school may de-
termine the type of curriculum
which is best suited for the indi-
vidual talents and abilities. This
permits a greater degree of in-
volvement on the part of the
parents.
Mr. Geoffrey's recommen-
dation that the Board support in
principle the philosophy and e.p.
preach of the reorganization of
the Secondary School Program
as articulated in Circular . HSI
(Credit System) was endorsed by
the Board:
Trustee Vincent Young of
Goderich announced that the
Family Life Advisory Sub-com-
mittee would meet in Seaforth•
on February 27.
Mr. Vintar read a letter from
Hugh Edighoffer, MPP for Perth,
saying he had received the let-
ter froth the }Wren-Perth Beard

Lincoln Comity Separate Scheel
Board to petition the Premier,

to require a person seeking elk-,
ban as a Separate Schosel trustee
should be a resident Within the
jurisdiction of the Beard sch661

By THE OLD TIMER
I remember being seven and
walking barefoot on a ribbon of
zool dark earth, made glassy
smooth by a single blade of the
plow. The plow was drawn by
gentle horses respOnding to my
father's "hi -ah's" as he guided
the plow in almost straight fur-
rows. I remember birds of
every hue flocking down to that
rich fresh earth to find the earth-
worms which had been exposed
by the •plow's sharp blade. The
blushing redbud trees in flower
on 'the hillsides and the sweet
aroma' of wild plum blossoms
used to make my senses go dizzy,
The sky seemed so blue back
then and the spring sunshine'
was very warm. And I can still
remember those soft south winds
that blew across the fields. Those
were the days!
