Blyth council
says 'let
province do it'
Blyth village councillors think
the provincial government should
keep the headache of Sunday
closing laws in their own back yard,
not pass the problem to municipali
ties.
Council received a survey form
from a group called ‘‘People for
Sunday Association of Canada”,
which asked the council to indicate
whether they felt the municipali
ties or the province should control
Sunday shopping.
Councillor Bill Manning said the
senior government is trying to
sidestep this ‘ ‘ hot potato’ ’ issue by
dropping it on the local govern
ments. Councillor Lloyd Sippel felt
the jurisdiction should stay at the
provincial level to bring fairness.
What would happen for instance,
he said, if Hullett Township told
the Old Mill south of town it could
or couldn’t open on Sunday and the
Btythcouncil decided the opposite
for Bunton’s in town.
Councillor Manning agreed that
there should be a more uniform
application of the law that was
province wide. The rest of the
council agreed and voted to send
back the survey supporting the
proposal that Sunday closings
continue under provincial jurisdic
tion.
decided to have a pancake supper
again this year. This delicious
event will take place Wednesday,
April 1 with tickets being sold for 5
p.m., 6p.m. and 7 p.m. Family
night for Knox United Church will
be held on February 20 at 7 p.m.

reen Bean and Jake Middelkamp

Catholic school could use CHSS
BY WILMA OKE
A Roman Catholic high school
for Grade 9 students in Huron
County could open in September,
1988, in a vacant wing of the public
high school in Clinton.
About 150 Roman Catholic
ratepayers attended an informa
tion meeting Feb; 3 to discuss the
Huron-Perth separate school
board’s plan to start its second high
school. The first opened in Septem-
ber at St. Michael school in
Stratford.
Superintendent of education
John McCauley said at least 60 to
135 pupils in Grade 7 in Huron
separate schools must register now
fortheproposalto go ahead. He
said classrooms are available in an
empty wing at Central Huron
Secondary School. The school has
an enrollment of about 800, but a
capacity for about 1,500 students.
Mr. McCauley said students
would be bused, as at St. Michael
School, where some travel as far as
25 miles. For after school pro
grams, there is a special bus
provided to deliver the students to
their homes.
He explained some of the
Catholic secondary school teachers
with the Perth County Board of
Education volunteered to transfer
to the staff of St. Michael school.
‘‘It was a trade off,” he said, ‘‘as
we would hope it would happen in
Huron.”
He said the principal would be
hired to start in January, 1988, to
prepare the school to be fully
operational by September, 1988.
Parents have been asked to
return surveys to the school by
Monday, Feb. 9, so the board can
decide whether the proposal- has
enough support. He said the board
would report to the ministry of
education in March, with a reply
expected in May.
Mr. McCauley said, ‘‘We have a
successful track record in Perth
and we will have the same in Huron
to provide a school with a
difference.”
Parents also watched two vide
os, one depicting school life at St.
Michael School in Stratford and the
other showing activity at a shared
school in Cornwall, similar to the
Huron plan.
Mr. McCauley said committees
from the separate and public
boards have been meeting regular
ly to discuss the proposal in
Clinton.
William Eckert, Director of
Education, said later he was
pleased with the turnout at the
meeting and encouraged that there
were no negative questions asked
regarding a new high school.
