buses and boilers in Huron
be constructed at Colborne
Central Public School by 1981
to replace two portable
classrooms. The director
said the school also needs a
library resource centre,
boys' and girls' change
rooms and showers and a
storage area which could
also be constructed at the
same time.
He told the board Colborne
is one of the few schools in
the county that does not
appear to be suffering from
declining enrolment. He said
subdivision plans for the
Goderich area indicate the
school population will not
decline adding the work will
be needed,
South Huron District High
School needs some roofing
work done which Cochrane
said is obviously needed. He
said the roof is leaking and
should be replaced.
Seaforth High School is
also in need of a new roof.
Alterations to a drafting
room and the construction of

projects needed at Goderich.

Cochrane said he did not
foresee the work as high

needed the board's attention

The village of Grand Bend
lost a battle in court last
week with the township of
Stephen. Grand Bend had
refused to pay a bill from the
township for $107 for work
done on the Stanlake drain.
Reeve Bob Sharen said that
he thought that Grand Bend
was being charged interest
on a bill which they had
never received,
At court last Wednesday,
Sharen said he learned that
they were actually being
charged $57 and $50 interest.
"It's a matter of principle,
we should have been given
the chance to pre-pay to
avoid interest charges,"
Sharen said later.
Sharen said that he and
councillor Bill Baird were at
court in Exeter from 10 a.m.
until 6:17 p.m. Lawyer Norm
Pickell of Donnelly, Murphy
and Pickell represented
Grand Bend.
Sharen said he was
disappointed with the out-
come. "The judge had
synipathy for us, but the law
was on their side, they have
the right to charge interest,"
he added,
Stephen clerk Wilmar
Wein said Grand Bend made
their payment based 'on the
engineer's original report,
but the actual cost of the
drain exceeded estimates.
Wein told the T-A, "Grand
Bend was assessed about 50
percent of the total cost of
the drain which was in ex-
cess of $6,000," When the bill
was sent it included $107.59
which was interest for in-
terim borrowing on the
work. When they paid us
they kept back the $107.50.
It's normal practice to build
interest charges into the cost
of the drain,
Wein continued, "The bill
sent to Grand Bend was for
$3,211.37, but, they only paid
the $2,704.05 as estimated in
the first report. They later
paid another $399.73, but,
kept back the $107.59."
The Stephen clerk in-
cluded, . "The drain bylaw
clearly specified that the
municipality was allowed to
borrow up to $5,775 for
construction of the drain.
Each municipality was
ordered by the judge'to pay
their own court costs.
The Huron county board of
education learned Tuesday
that any money it (lees have
for capital expenditures in
the next five years will
probably be used to replace
buses and boilers.
John Cochrane, director of
education, told the board the
county was "suffering from
a case of worn out heating
equipment". Cochrane told
the board that of the nine
items, listed in the five year
forecast four involved
replacement or repairs to
boilers, one was to purchase
school buses and two were to
do with alterations to school
buildings.
Cochrane suggested the
board support the recom-
mendation of transportation
manager R.L. Cunningham
to replace six school buses a
year for the next five years.
Cunningham reported to
the board that the county
now owns 43 buses and that
30 of those should be
replaced by 1984. The report
estimated six buses to cost
$135,000 next year and by
1984 estimates another six to
cost $216,000.

Public School will cost

Remembrance

He said the Germans made
the laws, explained them,
changed them and ignored
them, and there was no
appeal.
"Justice for all is very
important for me," he told
the large gathering at the
Legion hall, saying that he
would prefer to take his
chances with parent and
volunteer groups to look
after the young, weak, old
and mentally retarded than
to trust government agen-
cies.
He said volunteer groups
have the deep-rooted con-
victions displayed by the
soldiers who went to set
Europe free and didn't count
the cost of that fight. "We
must never forget that,"
he added.
Legion president Lee
Webber was chairman for
the program, which paid
special tribute to eight World
War I veterans on hand,
Gord Parker, Ted Pooley,
Cliff Brintnell, Norm Norry,
Bill Parker, Joe White,
Sylvanus Cann and visitor
Simpson Fryer.
In his comments, MPP
Jack Riddell said he had
visited a war cemetery in
Holland three years ago
where 3,000 Canadians were
buried and this provided him
with a stark reminder of the
price paid to end oppression
and foster peace.
"They fought in foreign
wars for the values in which
they believed," he said of the
Canadian armed forces, and
he urged parents, teachers
and legislators to "remind
all Canadians and young
people to value their
citizenship and to realize the
price that was paid for it by
Canadians,
