Huron-Perth Separate School Board
establishes AIDS review committee
Writer says Ethel
always successful
BY WILMA OKE
The Huron-Perth County Roman
Catholic Separate School Board
has established a committee to
review a proposed Aids Education
Committee program.
The program produced by the
Institute for Catholic Education
will be offered initially to Grade 7
and 8 pupils. It is designed to help
children understand the causes of
Aidsand how the disease can be
prevented through sexual absti
nence and stresses the need to
treat Aids victims with compas
sion.
A program for secondary stu
dents will start after Christmas.
Members of the review commit
tee are Rev. John Sharp of
Stratford, dean of the Huron-Perth
deanery; director of education
William Eckert; Rev. John Finn, of
Jean Bridge, Financial Secretary of the Brussels Rebekahs Lodge and
customer George Lavery of Brussels enter into earnest discussion over
some of the mountains of merchandise on sale at the Lodge’s annnal
Variety Fair, held Saturday in the Brussels library. Organizers of the
event say the Fair was well attended, despite the day-long rain.
Kinkora, board chaplain; three
trustees, vice-chairman Ernest
VanderschotofSt. Marys; Michael
Moriarty of Bayfield; and John
Devlin of Stratford; Denis Mackay,
religious education, family life
consultant. Yetto be appointed are
two teachers and four parents. It
was first intended to have two
parents on the committee but the
trustees decided that having more
“might diffuse any problems we
might have.”
Trustee Vincent Mclnnes of
Wingham asked that the separate
school board keep up-to-date on
the Aids curriculum being presen-
tedinthepubiichigh schools to
ensure that “morals and absti
nence from sexual intercourse is
included”. He said, “If not, we
should be concerned about our
children and what they have to sit
through,” he said. Director of
Education William Eckert said the
board should obtain a copy of the
public school literature concerning
Aids for discussion.
Education on Aids is compulsory
in ail Ontario schools at the Grade 7
and81evelandinall high school
grades. The Aids Education com
mittee will have its first meeting on
October 23. Public meetings will be
held in January and February to
acquaint parents with the pro
gram.
In other business the board
approved paying the annual pre
mium of $38,769 plus increase of
$1,278 due to increase in property
values for the board’s insurance
coverage.
The board will redecorate and
replace the furniture in the board
room in Dublin at a cost of $30,000.
It is to be completed in December.
The present office furniture will be
used in areas where it is needed in
system.
To facilitate the busing of
students, St. James School, Sea
forth, will close for dismissal at
3:30 p.m. with morning classes
starting at 8:55 a.m., morning
recess 10:30 -10:45, lunch: 11:55-

THE EDITOR,
I am writing in response to some
of the comments made in the article
“The Reawakening of Ethel” in
the October 21 issue of The Citizen.
Having been a resident of Ethel
for over thirty years and seen quite
a few changes, I feel a ‘little’
qualified to make some observa
tions. It is true that over the years
we have lost many businesses
which made our village prosper
and hopefully in the future we will
be able toregain some of them. Ido
not wish to demean the efforts of
our new business people and I
certainly wish them well in their
endeavours. We welcome them to
our community.
BUT-The article fails to mention
thatthe Royal hotel property up
until its recent purchase, was the
base for the successful lawn
ornamentand patio stone business
of Otto and Phyllis Pfieffer. As

but expressed concern about what
would happen to the railway land if
the track is abandoned. Farmers in
the area west of Wingham had
earlier complained about the
abandoned land sitting idle.
The hearing will take place in the
Wingham town hall auditorium at
10 a.m.

well, Jean and Lothar Weber’s
General Store served our commun
ity faithfully with one of the best
stocked country general stores I
have ever been in. Both properties
were well kept and improved over
theyears. We were fortunate to
have them in our community. I do
not think this constitutes ‘neglect’
so I take great exception to the
caption “After Years of Neglect,
The Village is Filled with New
Energy”.
The decline of any small village
cannot necessarily be attributed to
neglect. Time and circumstance
cannot always be manipulated to
accomplish prosperity. Small vill
ages do have to struggle to survive
and I know we residents are
appreciative of the efforts of those
who strive to serve us.
Sincerely,
Joan Bateman
