The Wingham Advance-Times, 1968-11-14, Page 8tlitis..=Wi_Ltgham AdVance,,Times, Thursday, Nov, 14, 19 Perth and Huron to elect one separate school board (Continued from Page One.) led% NoveMber 18. Since bents vary from one municipal-. Ity tQ another it is wise to phone /Ile Municipal clerk to learn both the how and place for ac- cepting nominations. ELECTION PROCEDURE DECEMBER 2nd Each Municipal clerk in the two counties will publish a vot- ers' list and a list of polling lecations. It is the personal responsibility of each Roman Catholic separate school sup- porter to, assure that his or her name is on the voters list and to -learn at what poll he is en- titled to vote. When entering the poll the separate school supporter will be handed two ballots. One will list the candidates for the Huron - Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board; the other w#1 list tlie candidates for the Sep- arate school supporters' repre- sentative on the County Board of Education. In the past certain Roman Catholic Separate SchoolBoards have had the authority to ap- point a separate school repre- sentative to the local Board of Education, for secondary schooi. purposes bnly, or to the district high school bOard. On the new County Boards of Education these representatives will be •elected at large, in •each county. Because of popu- lation stipulations, Hu r on County separate school sUpport- ers who reside within Huron County boundaries will elect • one Board of Education Trustee and in Perth County separate school supporters who reside within Perth County boundaries lot will elect two goad of Educa- tion Trustees, The nomination of candi, dates ick separate scho61 rep- resentatives on the two boards of education will be accepted by the clerk of the municipal- ity in the county having the greatest sepaate school farm and residential assessment. TF0I Huron Cotinty this is the of Hay Township and in Perth County the clerk of the City of Stratford. Candidates seeking office shouldphone the respect- ive clerks to learn the hour and place of nominations. Seventeen school boards, operating twenty schools with an enrolment of nearly 3,500 will be combining to form the new 1-1Urair4'erth Board: An Interim Organization CQmmit- tee, composed :of a represent- ative from each of the com- bining boards, has been meet- ing since early Sieptember to assure the smooth transfer of school operations, The first year, particularly, will be a critical one for the . new Separate School Board. It is the sincere hope of all In- terim Committee members that experienced, public-spirit- ed •citizens interested in the overall education OrCatholic pupils in Huron and Perth Counties will run for office. Even more important is the in- terest displayed by each ,sep- arate school supporter in the two counties. Know your can- didates for trustees and by your vote on December 2nd assure that the best man wins.
