Clinton, which has 37 class-
rooms and eight shops now, is
to have an addition costing
$467, 120. Seaforth plans a 16 -
room school to replace one of
12 rooms, Wingham intends to
increase capacity from 970 to
1,810 students.
County appointees to these
boards reported at the Novem-
ber session under a new plan,
They brought completed ques-
tionnaires provided by the coun-
ty clerk, and every councillor
had a copy, Thus was achiev+
ed uniformity, an opportunity
to make comparisons and to ask
intelligent questions,
One question asked was re-
garding the spread in cost of
bus transport per mile. It rang-
ed from 33 to 46 cents. This
led to an enquiry by Reeve Wil-
mer Hardy, Colborne, as to
whether any school boards own
and operate their own buses,
"Regardless of the eventual
comparative cost, " said Elmer
Bell, "we are just not in posi-
tion to raise the capital involv-
ed, and not likely to be, for
some time."
Reeve Robert Gibson, of
Howick, reported that Palmer-
ston secondary school board
owns its buses, and thus con-
trols the drivers. One bus is
turned in annually. Howick
rents from the Palmerston board.
BOUQUETS FOR WINGHAM

in Grade 13, and in the result-

Russel Kernighan, of the

possible for a principal to "make
sure the worst pupils are gone
before graduation time."
"We should be seeking the

"Provision should be made
for those who cannot keep up
the pace, to get their education
more slowly and possibly more
thoroughly," suggested Reeve
Clifford Dunbar.
"As long as they don't drop
out, they are at least learning,'
said Reeve E. Talbot, Stanley.
"One reason for dropouts,"
pointed out Reeve Tom Leiper,
of Hullett, "is the requirement
for labor on the farm,"
"I understand," said deputy
reeve Robert Squire, Goderich,
"that a majority of (Grade 13)
papers re -read received pass
marks."
"A lot below 50 had papers
re -read and got them, " said
Mr. Berry, "but not enough for
university or too late, and some
students are back in Grade 13."
"Too many children have
automobiles and outside inter-
ests, and that is the fault ofthe
parents," said Reeve C. E.
Boyle, Exeter.
MILL RATES
Mill rates in these five sec-
ondary school areas were re-
ported as follows: Wingham,
12, a reduction of 3.7 from

Goderich, 19; Exeter (South

Russell Bolton, reporting for
Seaforth, listed scholarships
and bursaries from seven dif-
ferent sources, totalling some-
thing like $7,200.
John Brewer, of the Wing -
ham board said: "Our building
committee was down to Toron-
to to see about our addition,
and they got approval for four
classrooms, one agricultural
science room, greenhouse, mar-
keting
arketing room, one sheet metal

Reject Application for
Nursing Home Grant
GODERICH-- Unwilling to set
a precedent by making a grant
to the building fund of a pri-
vately operated home, Huron
county council by a 35-4 vote
rejected an application from
Blue Water Rest Home at Zurich
for $130,000. It had been sup-
ported by a four -man delega-
tion earlier in the session and
was supported in the vote by
Reeves John H, Corbett, of
Hay; Archie Etherington, Us -
borne, and Milton Oesch of
Zurich, also deputy reeve Del-
bert Geiger of Hay.
Reeve Reg, Jewell, Gode-
rich, chairman of the finance
committee, which reported ad-
versely said the members had
met that morning and "the feel-
ing was that we should not get
Mrs, A. G. Vincent
Buried Tuesday
Mrs. Albert G. Vincent, 79,
of Belgrave, died in Wingham
and District Hospital on Sunday,
November 21 after an illness of
one week.
She was the former Edna
Bertha McDowell. She was
born in East Wawanosh Town-
ship, daughter of the late John
McDowell and Ann Jane Mac -
Clinton. On February 14, 1912
she was married at the home of
her parents, in East Wawanosh
to Mr. Vincent.
Following their marriage
Mr. and Mrs. Vincent home-
steaded for five years at Milk
River, Alberta, but returned to
farm in E. Wawanosh in 1917.
They retired in 1950 and have
lived in Belgrave since that
time.
Surviving besides her hus-
band are two daughters, Mrs.
Clifford (Dorothy) Logan of Bel -
grave and Mrs. Roy (Edna)Mac-
Sween of R. R. 5, Wingham;
two sons, Leslie of London and
Harold of East Wawanosh; one
brother, Alva McDowell of
Blyth; 12 grandchildren and
three great grandchildren.
She was a member of Knox
United Church, Belgrave. Fun-
eral service was conducted by
her minister, Rev. ArthurJack-
son, at the S. J. Walker funer-
al home on Tuesday with inter-
ment in Union Cemetery at
Blyth.
The pallbearers were six
grandsons, Barry and Ralph Lo-
gan, Wayne, Murray and Don-
ald Vincent and Gary Mac -
Sween. Flower bearers were

Dowell.
involved in any further kinds of
enterprise. The county is con*
tributing to five hospitals. An-
other reason was that it would
mean a two -mill increase."
Deputy reeve Geiger: "Do
the committee Members not
feel that this at a later date
could be quite a saving in X
number of dollars at our county
home? 1 would like a recorded
vote, to see how many council-
lors are in favor of giving some
support to a home such asthis."
Reeve Corbett: "I think this
is a great help to the county.
It is situated in a very good
place, and great credit goes to
those men around Zurich who
have given their time and gone
ahead with this."
Reeve J. P. Landon, Exeter:
"It may be that the men who
have inaugurated this have done
a fine thing for their commun-
ity, but this county is already
involved in the field of provid-
ing homes for senior citizens,
and the amount involved here
would go a long way toward
providing facilities under con-
trol of the county. The other
thing we had to face was that if
we set a pregedent here, any
community in this county could
form such a home and would
expect and deserve the same
consideration. This could create
a problem so far-reaching I do
not think the finances of the
county could cope with it."
Reeve Wilmer Hardy, Col-
borne: "Perhaps in a year or two
a smaller amount could be pro-
vided by the county for a num-
ber of these homes."
The report of the finance
committee, duly adopted, pro-
vided for a grant of $92,000 to
the building fund of Alexandra
Marine and General Hospital,
Goderich, This is based on 46
beds, and will be paid "as funds
are available." The Goderich
board plans to demolish the old
part of the hospital, the former
M. C. Cameron residence, re-
built.
MUSIC OR MUSCLE?
The phrase "catch as catch
can" is most often used with
reference to no -holds -barred
wrestling. But, it also has a
traditional musical background.
"Catch" is the term which is
applied to the round -songs,
usually sung by three unac-
companied voices, which were
popular in 1 th and 18th cen-
tury England. Indeed, John
Hilton, in the 1650's, published
the most famous collection of
these folk songs. It's title?
"Catch As Catch Can."
