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. - II soy loor coMpeterst help with your MOrt0090 RO4tattilltsteg Permanent or interiM FARM- – COMMERCIAL— IESIDENTIAL Builderand Home Owner To purchase or renovate, to consOlidato and reduce monthIY payments CA1.1 THE PROFESSION/41.5 NTARIO DISCOU 340 Wallow.

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."
