Say will diversify community SS funding is opposed The Huron County Board of Education does not want to see funding extended past the Grade 10 level for Catholic secondary schools. A brief the board will pre- sent to the provincial com- mission on private schools states it "opposes extension of public funding to private schools because it is convinc- ed it will lead to a diversifica- tion of the community". The brief is one of two the board's administration has prepared for forwarding to the commission. . The brief says that in a typical county town there may be a public and Catholic school as well as a private school, more commonly referred to as a "Christian school". Yet all these students - meet for the four years of secondary school. "It is here that the com- munity believes the beginn- ings of tolerance and understanding have com- menced their growth." the brief states. Besides opposing the fun- ding extension on what it tfrms "philisophieal grounds" the school board is against the funding on "prac- tical grounds" Summarizing a brief it presented to an Ontario Municipal Board hearing 18 months ago, the board notes that it already faces empty seats in classrooms through declining enrolment_ Statistics show that in 1982, there was enough room for 5,985 students, hut in fact there were only 3,979 students. The Board of Education is of the opinion that the best in- terests of all Huron County ratepayers and, indeed, of all residents of the province, are best served by utilizing this existing space.

Christmas Bureau is well received Donations have poured in to the Family and Children's Services Exeter Christmas Bureau, according to Lauret- ta Siegner, who heads the group of Lioness members manning the Bureau this year. "We have been inundated with toys, new and used clothing. canned goods, games. books and other love- ly gifts", Miss Siener said-. "('ash donations have been superb. Individuals, schools and churches' white gift col- lections have been overly generous • " Miss Siegner said the Lioness volunteers have been "working like beavers" to • sort and size the articles of clothing. Forty families had been assigned at the beginning of the week to come to the Ex- eter Bureau to pick out what they needed to make their ('hristmas merry and bright, but new names are being phoned in daily from the Bureau's main office in Goderich. Miss Siegner said the first lady to come in picked out clothing and gifts for her seven children. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she then im- pulsively kissed each Lioness volunteer, Miss Siegner thanked all who donated. "This is what makes it possible", she said. OMB brief, However, the board, at its December meeting, elected a committee which will meet with a liaison committee from the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board. The Catholic School Board requested the torr: mittee. D. -ector of education Bob Allan said this committee would have the same authori- ty as any other board commit- tee, which is to discuss and negotiate. Although the committee won't actually get going until the new year, Mr. Allan said the members should have some time for "reading" about establishing a Catholic high school in Huron -Perth. Trustees elected were John Jewitt of RR 1 Londesboro, Donald McDonald of RR 2 Brussels, Graeme Craig of RR 4 Walton, John Elliott of Blyth and Catholic school sup- porter representative for the south end of the county Den- nis Rau. Trustees Joan Vanden- Broeck of Saltford and Frank Falconer of.atli .5, Clinton were no kited` but not elected to the committee. Huron board names committee chairmen Eugene Frayne of RR 3, Goderich has been acclaimed cho(lrman of the Huron Coun- ty Board of Education for another year. Frayne follows a tradition whereby chairman of the board, although named each year, stay on for a two-year term. The chairman is the Catholic school supporters' representative for the nor- thern part of Huron County. He called the past year a "taskful" one "but we have achieved many things". The vice-chairman and chairmen of the three stan- ding committees are also practically a repeat of the 1984 chairmen. Only the per- sonnel committee has a new chairman. Graeme Craig of RR 4, Walton was named as person- nel committee chairman. He succeeds John Jewitt of Londesboro. Art Clark of Wingham con- tinues to be the board's vice- chairman and as such, chairs the board's in -camera sessions. The only election took place for the chairmanship of the board's management com- mittee. Dennis Rau of RR 2, Zurich and Joan Vanden- Broeck of Saltford were both nominated for the position. Rau, the 1984 chairman, was re-elected as manage- ment committee chairman. Frank Falconer of RR 5 Clinton will continue to head the education committee. The heads of the three com- mittees as well as the chair- man, vice-chairman and past chairman make up the board's executive committee. The past chairman is Dorothy Wallace of Goderich. Some local politicians were on hand for the board's in- augural meeting. Huron County Warden Tom Cunningham expressed the hope that the lines of com- munication built up between county councils and the board of education remain "open". Huron -Middlesex MPP Jack Riddell said he wanted to do more than just bring greetings from the provincial legislature so he took a few swipes at programs introduc- ed by the provincial government. He noted that while the pro- vincial opposition Liberals supported in principal the in- troduction of special educa- tion the government has put grant money originally to be earmarked for special educa- tion into general grant money. MPP Riddell also made criticism on the new changes in the secondary education system. These changes will reduce the students numbers in technical programs. Individual committees were named at the inaugural meeting. On the management com- mittee are Dr. John Goddard of Hensall, Clarence McDonald of Exeter, Donald McDonald of RR 3, Brussels and Tony McQuail of RR 2, Lucknow. The personnel committee is made up of trustees Wallace, Murray Mulvey of RR 1 Clif- ford, John Elliott of Blyth and Mr. Clarke. The education committee is comprised of Harry Hayter of RR 2 Dashwood, Bob Peck of Varna, Mrs. VandenBroeck and Mr. Jewitt.
