Education at it's meeting Monday afternoon, agreed to launch a study of school boun- daries to reflect changing pupil enrolments. A proposal by board vice-chairman Herb Turkheim for a complete re -alignment To maintain Sky Harbor A reminder that the County of Huron has an obligation until 1985 to see that Sky Harbor Airport continues to operate as an air- port, clinched a request from the Town of Goderich for support to help maintain the premises. The Town of Goderich pur- chased the airport last year and in addition to capital costs, has budgeted $30,000 for maintenance of the property. County councillor Bill Clifford said that main- tenance bills include hydro, snow removal. runway repair and the salary for a part-time manager at $150 per month. The town asked the county for 50 percent for the maintenance budget up to a maximum of $15.000 this year. This was ap- proved. , Reeve Derry Boyle of Exeter wondered if an "epidemic of similar requests might not flood county council from airports in Grand Bend and Huron Park. However, Deputy -clerk Bill Hanley reminded council that due to an old agreement, the county must maintain at least the runway at Sky Harbor until 1985. If the facility was allowed to deteriorate, the cost to the county could be considerable Hanley suggested. He also said the county has contributed nothing to Sky Harbor to date. The airport is considered to be an asset to the county as a whole. Goderich Reeve Stan Profit said he believes Sky Harbor will one day be part of a circuit planned for STOL (short takeoff and landing) craft to transport' passengers to Toronto. Construction of an new ter- minal and hangars at Sky Harbor is envisioned by Goderich's airport committee, and it is hoped that federal government funds. as much as $250,000 will be available for this purpose. The facilities will then be operated on a user -pay basis. Some revenue is already being realized from the facility, Mr. Clifford said. Persona Is Mrs. George Armstrong of Hensall visited Sunday with her daughter Mr. & Mrs. Don Flear and family. Mrs. Wellwood Gill had the misfortune to fall on Saturday and break her wrist. Mr. & Mrs. Clarke Kennedy spent the weekend in Toronto. when Mrs. Kennedy's sister. Mrs. S.M. Barbour. returned home with them. after visiting here with her sister for several weeks. Mr. & Mrs. Fred Harrison of Indiana spent a few days in the past week with her mother Mrs. Rosie Grigg. Mrs. R.L. Knight of London spent a few days in the past week visiting with her sister and brother-in-law Mr. & Mrs. Wellwood Gill and brother Kenneth Patterson. Mr. & Mrs. Ray Gooding of Kitchener spent the weekend with Mr. & Mrs. Roy Morenz. Glenda and Tammy. Mr. & Mrs. Ralph Weber. and Mr. & Mrs. Bill Weber and Wayne Riddell all of Dashwood area were Sunday dinner guests with • within Iluron County came during a discussion on the fate of North Ashfield Public School, where the enrolment has dwin- dled to under 40. Turkheim told the meeting that it seemed ridiculous to have a portable classroom sitting at the Clinton Public School and an empty classroom at the Hensall Public School. He suggested that some of the pupils -attending Clinton P.S. especially those from Vanastra, could be just as easily transported to Huron Centenial School at Brucefield. To alleviate ap overcrowded situation which might then arise at Brucefield he suggested that some of the students in the south parts of Stanley Township and Tuckersmith Townships could attend the Hensall school, thereby making use of the empty classroom. "This same situation probably exists in many areas of Huron County," Turkheim went on to say. "and it is high time a careful study of the situation is carried out." It seems foolish to send children who live within a stone's throw of one school many miles to - another, because they are living in a different municipality." The trustee for Hensall-Hay Township -Zurich warned the members of the board that changing school boundaries could be a real political football, and urged that the trustees should be involved in any discussions with parents of children who might be transferred from one school to another. Members of both the education committee and management committee were instructed to study the proposal at their meetings later this month, and bring in a report to the next meeting in April. At the same time the decision of whether or not to phase out the school at North Ashfield will be studied by the same two com- mittees. If the school were closed it Would result in a savings of about $2,000. home again after a month's holidays on the B.C. coast near Vancouver where they visited with her aunt and uncle Mr. & Mrs. Art Van.
