Mrs, Louis Hutton introduced the kindergarten group of children and outlined their study before Miss Betty Ami Lapp conducted their presentation of special songs. The youngest group, the Nursery rand 4 years olds, then toddled to the platform and Miss Hilda Tiffin outlined their study before they sang "Jesus Loves Me." The primary group wearing crowns with jewels took the stage to sing and present the drama of Jesus In the Temple. Mrs. G. W.

Arbitration Board Refuses o Permit Withdrawal A Huron County Board of Arbi- tration on Monday refused a re- quest by three school sections In the north-west corner of Howick Township to be released from the Howick School Area. The decision finally settled an argument that has been going on over a two-year period, and one that came to a head when Howick council refused to release the three sections from the Township School Area last April, and gave tentative approval to a 16 room central school for the whole of the town- ship. Acting on the boaru or arbitra- tion were Judge Harold Lang of Stratford; W. G. Cochrane, of Exe- ter, Huron County crown attorney; Ex -wardens W, A. Jewett and John Durnin and 'Public School Inspector J. H. Kinkead of Goderich, Overcrowding The problem settled by the board of arbitration had its be- ginnings in the fact that the Bel. more public school, which is part of the Culross and Teeswater School Area, became overcrowded and in 1961 a suggestion was made to transport some of the pupils to Teeswater. This move met with opposition in the Belmore area. Ratepayers in the Belmore dis- trict then requested the Culross- 'reeawater School Area to build a two -room school at Belmore, but this was refused by the area board. The Belmore people who were concerned with the matter then C.P.A. Air Crash Victim Was Born in Wingham News of the tragic death of Mr. and Mrs. David S. Drake and their two-year-old son, Alan, of Wind- sor was received here by relatives on Monday, The Drakes were among the passengers aboard the Canadian Pacific Airlines turbo -prop Britan- nia which crashed at the Honolalu International Airport early Mon- day. They were enroute to New Zealand where Mr. Drake was to wurk for his father-in-law in tht roofing business, The aircraft left Honolulu with 29 passengers and eleven crew mem- bers. After developing engin( trouble shortly after take -off, tin pilot dumped fuel into the Pacific in preparation for an emergency landing • and returned 45 minutes later. The plane apparently veer- ed sharply into a left bank and crashed into bulldozers and heavy machinery being used in runway construction. The plane took fire and 27 of the passengers lost their lives, including the Drake family. Mr. Drake was a son of Mrs, Tom Drake of Windsor and the late Mr. Drake, who were former Wingham residents. He and his sister, Chris- tina (Mrs. Booze), also of Windsor, were both born here and moved with their parents to the border city. about 27 years ago. While here•his father worked at Western Foundry and for Mr. Web- ster, where David Murray now op- erates his machine shop. Mrs. Tom Drake was the former Mabel Marie Thurlow of Wingham. David was in his early thirties and his wife, a native of New Zea- land, had moved some years ago with her family to Toronto. She had trained as a narse and since Christmas had been superintendent in one of the Windsor Hospitals. Mrs. Walter VanWyck and Mrs. Ken Sinnamon are cousins of Mrs, Tom Drake and Mrs. Aldin Pur - don is a cousin by marriage. Mr. Drake passed away very suddenly at Christmas time, 1961. suggested that if three school sec- tions from the Howick School Area could be included, it would be feas- ible to have a central school at Belmore. The three sections in- volved were S.S. No. 1, Union Sec- tion 13, Howick and Turnberry and Union Section No. 15, Howick and Carrick. Residents in the three sections approved the scheme and in 1961 requested the Howick council grant permission for the three sections in question to with- draw from the Howick School Area. The request was refused. Such a move would have meant that the three sections would have to be withdrdawn from the How - ick School Area, and at the same time the Howiek Area, Board was considering plans for a 16 -room central school in the township to replace 21 class rooms in 18 town- ship schools, Approve Debentures In April of this year the How - ick School Area requested the Howick council to approve deben- tures for the erection of the new Howick central school. The same day that rouneil approved this re- quest the three sections which were supporting the Belmore plan re- newed their request to the Howick council. The council again refus- ed the request in favour of the central school plan for the town- ship. Ratepayers from the three sec- tions involved then appealed the matter to county council. Last month county council dealt with the question and decided to set up a board of arbitration to settle the problem. Board Meets The board of arbitration 'held a breiinonary meeting, inspected the various schools in question, and then notified all concerned that a pullJic hearing would be held on Monday of this week. The meeting was attended by some 60 people including many who had signed the petition requesting the three sections be released from the Howick area, as well as the Howick council and the Howick School Area board. The morning was devoted to the public hearing, at which anyone interested was in- vited to speak. The area board has already chos- en a tentative site for the proposed central school on Highway 8' east I of Gorrie and has had an architect draw sketch plans. It is hoped by the board that if approval (which I has been pending the decision of the board of arbitration) of the debenture issue is given by the department, that construction will start this fall. It is expected that the 16 -room school which wonil include an auditorium, would be ready for use in September of 1963. The decision to erect a central school in Howick came about due to the heavy maintenance costs of the 18 existing schools. Many of the buildings are old and need ex- tensive repairs. With the central school, individual grades will be taught separately and total staff could be cut by five teachers. It would also be the intention, of the area board to sell the old build- ings in order to assist with the capital outlay required for the new building.
