Mennonite issue arisel, as
&wick candidates meet
Mennonites circumventing the
law surfaced as one of the issues
at the 'llowick Township candi-
dates' meeting Nov. 27 in Gorrie.
Members of the sparse
audience questioned incumbent
Huron County Board of Edu-
cation representative, Alex
Corrigan on'why Mennonites * are
allowed to go to a private school
while all others have to go the
public school.
Mr. Corrigan said that it really
,wasn't the Huron Board of
s Education's concern. It was the
"government's."
He said one Mennomte he
ithOws told him tilt W'sAfraid
that if their children went to. our
Se1100b they would become too
highly,educated.
Alew in the audience still felt
that the law should apply to all
equally.
Mr. Corrigan and Phyllis Hog-
gart are running for the Howick-
Turnberry seat on the board of
education. •
Harold Robinson, who chaired
the meeting, said, "I say that if
the land is good enough to live in;
then it's good enough to live by
the laws."
•Counc. Stuart Douglas, who is
running for re-election for his
council seat disagreed.
He said that the Mennonites not
only pay for their own schools (as
do members of the Christian
schools), but through their taxes,
pay for the public system.
If they -were the type of people
to take government benefits, like
unemployment cheques, welfare,
etc., then a case could be made
against them, he said.
But these people, he added,
stand on their own two feet and
ask for no help from anyone but
themselves.
"'They should not be per -
secuted."
Mr. Corrigan said that he had
received a call before the meet-
ing asking what the superin-
tendent of education earns a
year. He said his yearly salary is
$33,600 while the other five
superintendents make $28,800.
"I don't think were paying
these people and teachers more
than they're worth," he said.
He explained that the board's
budget is for $12 million of v.vhich:
the government supports 70 per
cent; 24 per cent by municipal
taxes; and six per Cent from
neighborint counties.
-'11e-lited1cted that next year'd
>budget would go up.
Mrs. Hoggart, who has two
children • in the public school
system, said that she feels that
central schools arecreating
problems.
"It's always the child who has
done something wrong. It's never
the fault of an adult.
"They bring in specialists, psy-
chiatrists, at a high cost. And, for
example, they're fixing track and
field facilities in Clinton for
$80,000.
"People just don't know what's
going on," she said.
- "Unless there's a book in high.
school with obscene language in
it we don't hear about it," she
added.
She also said that students are
on the bottom ledge of the ladder
with parents and taxpayers on
the next.
Deryek Weber, a member of
the audience and a teacher ve-
hemently disagreed. "Students
have always been our strength.
That upsets me that it seems to
you that- students are on the
bottom of the ladder."
Mrs. Hoggart replied that it
was a matter of opinion. -

Ouellet regulates antifreeze sales
Following the release issued
Oct. 24 in which consumers were
warned of possible dangers in
using antifreeze preparations
other than those for which engine
cooling systems are designed, the
minister of consumer and cor-
porate affairs, the Hon. Andre
Ouellet, today announced that he
has taken action under the hazar-
dous products act to prohibit the
sale of petroleum' distillate based
antifreeze 'preparations for use in
vehicles' engine cooling system.
"Antifreeze preparations con-
taining high percentages of
petroleum distillates, can cause
rapid deterioration of cooling
system hoses," Mr. Oullet said.
"When this occurs, the'petroleum
could be sprayed bnto an engine
manifold and ignite, causing a
serious fire. The inclusion of such
products under the Hazardous
Products Act provides for seizure
by department inspectors of any
petroleum distillate based anti-
freeze preparations that may be
offered for sale currently or in
the future", he added.
The Minister went on to explain
that a number of antifreeze
preparations, other than the
ethylene glycol type which is
recommended exclusively by
manufactuners for most modern
vehicle engines, had entered the
Marketplace as a result of a
recent worldwide shortage of
ethylene. "While not all of these
products are hazardous," Mr.
'Ouellet said, "I would repeat my
general advice to consumers to
ensure they use only the type of
antifreeze preparation recom-
mended in the vehicle owner's
manual. I am advised by vehicle
manufacturers that serious
engine damage could result if
other types are used."
