Some Huron-Perth Roman
Catholic Separate School Board
trustees questioned the quality of
religious education in the schools,
Monday night.
The board will donate $150 to
the Wingham parish of Sacred
Heart Church toward the cost of
bus transportation of children to
the summer school of religion.
Wingham trustee William
Kinahan reported the schou 'o be
"far, m ore of a success than
expected" with between 168 and
185 children attending the
two-week school, including 66.
from Clinton. The cost of the
school amounted to $471,
including $180 for the Clinton bus
and $100 for the Brussels bus.
Registration fees ainounted to
$115 and a donation from
the Brussels Catholic Women's
League of $50 resulted in a debt
of $296 to theWingham parish.
Trustee Donald' Crowley of
Gadshill questioned whether the
religious education taught in the
regular school term was adequate
if the summer school was such a
success. •
Mr, Crowley said: "I think we
should be taking a good look at
the teaching of religion in our
schools. The parents must have
felt this was necessary and the
teachers who volunteered to teach
as well."
Several trustees expressed
concern about religious colleges in
the schools. It was agreed that
when the religious education
consultants make their in-service
presentation to the board in
October they be asked to evaluate
the quality of the teaching.
Mr. Kinahan said the summer
school was an additive, not an
alternative to the regular course.
The board will not join the
courier service carried on by the
Hu* and the Perth County
Boards of Education. The
decision, for one year only, was
made at the board meeting in
Seaforth Monday night because
"the volume would not justify the ervice".
Brisinets AdminiStratOr Jack
Lane reported that the Ministry of
Education has appro'vedthe
sketch plans for the addition to St:
,Ratrick's School at Kinkora which
includes a gymnasitirt, health
t?ola and than& rooms with showers - The general legislative
grcibt approved for the project is $169,000.
drivers of board-owned
buses will be given an increase of
50c per hour raising their wages
to $4.25 per hour for the ,school y
ear 1975-76 for extra-curricular
driving, such as transporting
children to swimming classes.
The by-law and policy
committee is studying the policy
on the authorization for use of
school facilities by groups for
meetings, especially in regard to
the use of janitorial services.
Concern has been expressed that
the janitors were being called on
to clean up the, gymnasium and
meeting rooms and not being paid
for it.
A report on field trips and
excursions from January to June,
1975 by the students of the 19
schools was distributed to the
board members. It outlined
where the students went, the cost
to the pupils and to the
extra-curricular budget.
New Budget
Mr. Lane outli, ned the new
extra-curricular budget for 1975
that has been initiated this year to
provide all schools the
opportunity to share in
recognized "out-of-school
activities" to meet individual
school and community needs and
to. equalize opportunity as far as
possible.
The out-of-school activities
were defined as field trips,
excursions, performing arts,
swimming program, skating
program, inter-school sports and
gym facilities.
Mr. sane explained how the
$15,000 budget was divided
among the schools on the basis Of
the number of pupils, the location
of the school whether located in
the city, village or the rural area
and the indoor sports facilities
such as gymtis, etc.
"Now there is an accountability
fOr the spending of these funds,
the thing is going to be
policed. We want to see a
constructive use of the funds,"
Mr. Lane said. "We have tried to
011ie up with some form of
equalization of opportunity for all
pupils,' '
Stratford Trustee Howard
Shantz. said, "I think the larger
schools ate not getting the money
the smaller schools do."
John O'browsky of St. Marys
asked fOr a report on the
allocation of funds for the field
trips as of the end of December
1075, to be given at the January
meeting,
The board approved guppiyirig
transportation to a y oung adult at
R.R.1, St. Pauls who will be
attending James Purdue Adult
Workshop and Training Centre in
arys
Alexander Easton, the board's
new assistant superintendent,
said there was still one vacancy to
be filled at Ecole Ste Marie and
then the 19 schools would all
have their staffs for 1975-76.
The building and maintenance
committee is looking at the hydro
pole and transformer located in
the school yard at St. Patrick's
School, Dublin, which is
considered a danger to the
children. Ontario Hydro is to view
the equipment arid decide what
action is. to be taken.
Jack Lane informed the board
members that work on the new
board offices at Dublin was
progressing on schedule and the
administration staff would be
moving as originally planned at
the end of August. He said the
second floor would be finished by
Wednesday of this week and the
decorating on the first floor would
be completed next week. '
Janitor service for the new
board office at Dublin will be
tendered and this is not to include
the two rooms presently used as
kindergarten rooms.
Donald Crowley and Chairman
David Teahen, who with Ted
Geoffrey of Zurich, attended the
Canadian Conference of Trustees
in 'St. John's, Newfoundland,
gave a report on it. Mr Crowley
said "it was generally a positive
meeting."
The next meeting of the board
will be at the new board offices in
Dublin on September 8.

Summer squash is known un-
der thiee names; vegetable mar-
row, zucchini and scallop. The
vegetable marrow is cylindrical
with on, end larger than the
other. The skin is smooth and
creamy yelloW while the flesh is
white. The zucchini is similar to
the vegetable marrow is shape
and size but its dark green skin
with black stripes is slightly
rough. The flesh is creamy-yellow
The disc-shaped seal* or patty-
pan with its scalloped edge has a
smootWor slightly warted white or
yellow skin and greenish white
flesh.
Unlike the winter squashes and
pumpkins, summer squash taste
their best when immature. The
rind is then very soft and the
seeds underdeveloped, so that
the whole vegetable is edible.
Summer squat's, are also quite
perishable. They should be baked
boiled or steamed as soon as
possible after purchasing.
Zucchinni is a very interesting
vegetable, but, except in the
kitchens of persons of Mediter-
ranean origin, it is somewhat
neglected in Canada. The Italians
and the Greeks in particular are
very fond of them. Both the
foliage and tender stems of the
young vines are to be found in
specialized domestic markets for
quick cooking as greens and the
. rich orange buds of the flowers
are delicious when sauteed in
butter or added to omelets or
scrambled eggs.
When choosing zucchini, try to
pick the smallest youngest speci%
mens possible. If they are only
three or four inches in length,
they are indeed delicious and
delicate in flavour, and memor-
able when served in a variety o)
ways. Zucchini do not neec
peeling. Simply wash, them and
rim off both 'ends.
Zucchini may be steamed,
Tench fried, ' sauteed or stuffed
