The Citizen, 1988-09-21, Page 3THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1988. PAGE 3. Former Blyth teacher leaves scholarship fund A well-known Huron County teacher and lifelong resident of Blyth has left a bequest of $60,000 to establish a scholarship trust fund which will be used to support secondary school graduates who are residents of his home town. Norman Parks Garrett, who died in his 92nd year last March 31 after a short illness, left the large sum on the condition that the income generated by its investment be used to established an annual scholarship for all students who meet the fund’s criteria. Bob Allen, the Huron County Board of Education’s director of education, said last week that the annual bequest should amount to approxi­ mately $6,000, to be divided evenly betweenail those who qualify in any given year. Mr. Allen is presently in negoti­ ation with the executors of Mr. Garrett’s estate to establish the exact terms of the scholarship trust fund according to the terms of the well-loved teacher’s will. The first scholarshipswill likely be awarded in 1989, Mr. Allen said. To be eligible for a Norman Parks Garrett Scholarship, a stu­ dent must be a resident of Blyth, must have a graduation diploma from Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton, must be going on to an institute of higher learning, and should be “in need’’, Mr. Allen said, adding that the exact definition of terms has yet to be established. “Mr. Garrettwasa tremendous­ ly good teacher and a tremendous­ ly good friend to Blyth, ’ ’ Mr. Allen said. “And in the light of this extremely generous bequest, any Blyth student entering secondary school in the future would be well advised to choose his (secondary) school carefully.’’ The village of Blyth is actually in CHSS’s district, but in view of the factthat it is in a location where schoolbusesrunbothsouth and north, the HCBE has been lenient in permitting village students to attend F.E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham, if that is their NORMAN GARRETT choice, Mr. Allen explained. Mr. Garrett was born on the family farm on Highway 4, just south of Blyth, the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Garrett. He took his teacher’s training atthe U niversity of Toronto’s Faculty of Education, graduating in 1914, when he returned to HullettTwp. to teach at SS 10. Later, he taught at several other elementary schools through­ out the county, at the old Blyth Continuation School for 18 years, and at the Clinton High School, then called Clinton District Colle­ giate Institute, for the next 14 years. He retired in 1960 after 44 years of teaching, but continued to work during the summers as a bookkeeperforGeorge Radford Construction in Blyth. Mr. Garrett was also very active in the community: he was a charter member of the Blyth Lions Club, a member of the Masonic Lodge, and honourary member of both the Blyth and Clinton Bowling Leagues, and he taught Sunday School for many years at the Blyth United Church. He was predeceased in 1979 by his wife, Elma, whom he married in 1922; and is survived by several nieces and nephews.

Ramirez’ sermon Sunday morning in Blyth United Church was “Happiness”. He based his remarks on the Beautitudes as recorded in Mat­ thew 5: 1-16. The choir’s anthem was “Noth­ ing is impossible,’’ with Grace Poore singing the solo parts. In his conversation with the children Rev. Ramirez talked about how much happier we feel when the sun is shining. They lit a candle as a symbol of Jesus the light of our lives.
