When Arthur Haid, chairman

the last three years; —unable,
and have been unable, over the
past five years, to afford to travel
outside of their province for
pleasure.

accommodatidin, and meals at no
extra charge.
The Society would like to mak
contact with individuals who fee

plicants.

and would pay for the added cost
of meals and room cost but the
board would not pay for the . air
fare."
Following the meeting Mr.
Young said the board pays for
delegates only but it is up to the
conscience of the delegate
whether he collects for the addi-
tional costs of taking along his
wife or a guest. He said delegates
are not asked whether expense
accounts include the added costs
of these.
David Teahen said he would
like to see the guideline inblack
and white before he votes on it.
Ted Geoffrey, chairman of
building and maintenance com-
mittee, gave a detailed report on
various maintenance work done
at a number of schools in Huron
