T -A photo Must be a game Board meeting "This must be some kind of record," laughed board chair- man Ronald Murray of Dublin as the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board meeting was adjourned Mon- day night. The trustees had been in session only one hour and 20 minutes and a half hour of that had been in committee of the whole. "There must be a game (on television)," said one trustee as they packed up their papers and headed for home.

During the session, the board agreed that if an emergency evacuation of Bruce County ever took place, the Huron -Perth School board would give temporary hous- ing for Bruce students and residents in its schools if required. The request came from Mary Hobley, project co- ordinator; and D. Verrips, director, for the Bruce Coun- ty Social Services. The letter stated the social services department has been prepar- ing an evacuation plan for the county of Bruce that would be used if a disaster should ever occur. In other business, the board appointed three trustees -- Gerald Groothuis of Seaforth, Michael Moriarty of Bayfield and John Devlin of Stratford -- to sit as members of the co- operative action committee. This committe of trustees is to be appointed annually and will meet with a similar com- mittee of four teachers to discuss matters of mutual concern. The board hopes the meetings will result in mutual benefit to trustees, teachers and parents and that they'll contribute to the common good of the school system. Members of the teachers' committee will be appointed by the local unit of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association. Meanwhile, the board received a report from its summer school held at St. Patrick's school in Dublin for learning handicapped children. This year, the school included a pilot project of in- struction for 160 pupils who • is short are gifted. William Eckert, director of education, said this was the first time the board has of- fered a summer program for the gifted and he expected it -would be continued another year. "I think both these groups can benefit from the program and the experiences that are provided for them in summer school", Mr. Eckert said, "and I feel it is important for gifted children to work with other gifted children and in- teract with them. "If they understand other gifted children, they can cope better with their own giftedness," he said. Rabies vaccine bait dropped Despite some intermittent rain, cloud and brisk winds, 14,000 plastic bags containing a simulated rabies vaccine were dropped by the Ontario natural resources ministry over a 390 -square -kilometre area of Huron County Wednesday in an attempt to test the liver -coated bait. samples on foxes. A ministry spokesman in London said the project, which was postponed a day because of bad weather Tues- • day,'wentoff without a hatch: Two low-flying light aircraft were used to distribute the bait over wooded portions of Hullett, Goderich, Tuckersmith, Stanley and Colborne Townships_ If the bait, which contains an antibiotic, is accepted by the foxes, the ministry will use it to distribute a rabies vaccine as early as next year to combat the disease. Parking debate Continued from front page parked on each side of a residence. During the discussion, there was some debate over whether new rules would af- fect those truckers who had been given special status by being in operation from their residences prior to the pass- ing of the zoning bylaw. Clerk Liz Bell advised that Nesbit Electric Ltd. Sales and Service since 1970 Kirkton Ontario is pleased to announce Jim Smith has joined our motor shop repair staff. We welcome Jim to our staff, bringing with him 20 years experience in motor repairs and rewinding. Authorized warranty repair shop for most makes of motors See us for all your motor repair needs. CaII 229-8222 those given special status as non -conforming uses would have to be allowed to exist and the new rules would app- ly to only those establishing since the bylaw was passed. On the topic of a special compound for trucks, Mrs. Fuller said the truckers themselves had considered such an idea a couple of years ago and determined that it was not economically feasible. "Once they see the poten- tial, someone may develop one," Iloogenhoom responded. Two more letters were received by council in addi- tion to one sent to them by Marg and Weir Taylor and which was printed in this newspaper Fellow truck owners Laverne and Marion Mc('arter hada similar letter of concern, noting that trucks were important to the local economy and that owners would face considerable hard- ship if not permitted to park at their residences. They countered arguments regarding noise, esthetics, and weight. "We pay our way in Exeter and this rather seems to ap- pear as discrimination against our occupation lour income)" they concluded in asking for fair consideration for truck owners. Sherwood Crescent resident Bruce Eccles provid€d some objections to trucks in residential areas on the basis of esthetics, smell of diesel fumes and noise. Ile said his strongest objec- tion, however, was regarding the detrimental effect on pro- perty values, saying that three real estate agents had all recently indicated that the presence of a truck im- mediately across the street from his house has decreased both the marketability and the selling value of his property. "1 now look to council to protect my property and my rights in what I assume to be a residential area," he concluded. Council okays An Exeter couple this week signed an agreement with council to lease an unnamed street allowance, and while the annual fee of $1.00 per year may be ri ht, there may be some question whether they read the fine print in the lease. Gerry and Gail Sararas have asked for the lease in order to keep the small strip of land adjoining their proper- ty at 105 William St. N. in a tidy condition. Council delayed approval, Monday, after some members expressed concern over the length of the lease and the fact they may not be able to regain control of the property should it be needed before the 20 years elapses. The lease the couple signed and which was presentedto council was from a standard farm lease, circa unknown. It places some rather unusual restrictions and obligations on the pair. In addition to agreeing not to sow any grain infected by smut or containing any foul seeds or noxious weeds, they also agreed to carefully pro- tect and preserve all orchard, fruit and shade and ornamen- tal trees on said premises from waste, injury or destruc- tion and will carefully prune and care for all such trees as often as they require it. No cattle, horses or sheep Okay waste resolution Exeter has endorsed a resolution from Zurich asking the provincial government to relax some of the regulations being presented in the Blue Print for Waste.Management. The resolution notes that the regulations are not prac- tical for non -industrialized . small tax base municipalities. If the ministry of the en- vironment is insistant on ex- pensive consulting firm studies and reports, land ac- quisitions and environmental studies, Zurich suggests that the costs be met entirely by the province with the excep- tion of the actual land purchase. While agreeing -the stan- dards may be required for large urban centres which hpye indust..rial,m0.chemical wastes, the resolution sug- gests "there is definitely no need for such stringent, unreasonable and costly regulations" for smaller rural sites. are to be permitted to ve access to any trees on the pro- perty and the lessees are re- quired to ensure that no manure is to be placed against any buildings on the property. The lease runs until August 31, 2004 and if the town should decide to rent it to another party, the Sararas family will be obliged to "allow any in- coming tenant or purchaser to plow the said lands after harvest in the last year of said term, and to have stabling for ^rte team or shelter for one ^tor and bedroom for one .,an, and reasonable lease privilege and rights of way to do said plowing". The lease requires that dur- ing its term the lessees cultivate, till, manure and employ such parts of the said premises as are now or shall hereafter be brought under cultivation in a good farmer - like and proper manner and will in like manner crop the same in a regular rotation of crops so as not to impoverish, depreciate or injure the soil, and will plough the lands in each year during the said term, and at the end of the said term will leave the land so manured as aforesaid.
