t That most knowing of persons; matured a,Qos'sip does a tremendous amount
of unwarranted harm in this old world.
In fact, if 'the amount of Marin donrc—by
gossip could be computed in terms of dol-
lars and cents the sum would be colossal.
'Small towns and villages, unfortunately,
are traditionally, classified as the greatest
bree 3—ground for gossip.
Recently there was a juvenile court
ease in Goderieh involving a number of
youngsters from Exeter. Those found guilty
of certain charges were convicted, as' they
should have been. But the cases created
a flood of gossip in the Exeter district When
many' harmful and unfounded minors were
tossed about with the customary, irrespon-
sible abandon.
This... gossip provoked The Exeter
Tinges-Adyoeate to say editorially:
;`Bat fools with prattling tongues have
distorted the picture, twisted the pe•rspee-
tive, and, in the confusion they have ercat-
ed, may suceeed•in destroying the purpose
of the •courts action.

sons, seriously damag ►p-ersoiuiI reputation
and threaten the happiness of unsuspect-
ing families.
"What illt,becilie motive proullits these
people, norm-a.11y good citizens, to concoct,
and spread the completely unfounded tripe
which has circulated in this,, eo ninunity
during the past few days? What .objective
have they in such base action?
"The filets of this case, as,.mally as
the court thinks fit fo reveal, have been
and will be reported in this newspaper.

Estimated enrolment in September 1960 -- 244 pupils. •
If it is planned to make rmaximu,m use of present 'schools in September, it
will be necessary to transfer pupils from schools where they attend now to other
schools. Additional' transportation routes must be set up. The Board is not able
to estimate which pupils, will have to attend other schools.
The ,present enrolment is the maximum number of pupils which may be
accommodated with the present staff of,, seven teachers and seven classrooms now
in operation.
A ,
Any increase in the number of pupils will require an additional classroom
and an additional -teacher in the township of Colborne in 1960.
The proposed plan provides a pea'mancnt solution in the addition of 3 class-
rooms and 1 playroom at Zion Central School.
Zion 5 classrooms, 1 playroom
Estimated increase in September
Saltford — 2 classrooms
162 pupils
12 pupils
174 pupils
70 pupils
244 pupils
Under this plan each teacher at Zion would be required to teach no more
than two grades. Enrolment in'the pNmary grades could be kept lower than enrol,
ment in the senior grades. Seven teachers would be sufficient.
Accommodation in Zion and Saltford would be first-class.
Teachers regard more favourably fewer grades In one classroom.
