An allocation of $80,000 has been granted
to provide for the capital improvements at
St. Joesph's School, Clinton. At a meeting of
the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic
Separate School Board Monday night, the
information was given that the ministry of
education had approved the grant for the
project which was included in the board's
1979 capital expenditure forecast.
The plans for the addition of a
"relocatable" structure are now in the
working stage and call for a multi-purpose
room, one standard classrom and one
special education classroom. In addition,
there will be connecting link containing a
new staff room and storage room.
Lengthy delays settling teacher contracts
at both elementary and secondary school
panels have not shaken the confidence of
board and teacher negotiating teams that a
settlement will be reached before the year is
out. Both sides claim many of the delays in
the negotiations were not due to contract
issues but were caused by circumstances
neither party could avoid.
A fact finders report released last week
indicated that contract talks with secondary
school teachers centered around two
specific areas, money and job security.

Wet weather continues to delay the corn
harvest in Huron County and farmers are
keeping their fingers. crossed that there
won't be a heavy snowfall, and that dryer
weather will return soon.
Between 25 and 33 per cent of the grain
corn crop is yet to be harvested in Huron,
and according to officials with the
agricultural office and feed mills; the situa-
tion isn't improving. •

Wet, cold and miserable weather yester-
day morning greeted those attending the
Rememberance Day service in the Legion
Memorial Hall as they came out to make the
yearly parade to the cenotaph. Drizzly rain,
which almost held off during the service,
came down in earnest as the parade moved
off.

While returning from Kingston, where he
had been taking a prisoner, accompanied by
County constable Gundry, Sheriff C.G. Mid-
dleton was run into the ditch by a driver
coming the opposite way and was slightly in-
jured. He received a bruised side which is
still a bit sore, but he feels that he got off
very safely.
Sunday was Rememberance Day and
Clinton and community honored the occa-
sion by attending a special service in the
Presbyterian church and later going to the
memorial tablet while the various organiza-
tions decorated the tablet in memory of the
fallen.
Rev. C.E. Dougan, and the officals of the
Presbyterian church arranged the service.
The veterans marched in a body to the chur-
ch, headed by the Clinton Band.

Monday afternoon at 5 p.m. the fire alarm
was sounded, warning the citizens that a fire
had broken out in town. It was discovered
that the barn in the rear of St. Joesph's
Church was on fire, being started by
children. The building was owned by
William Elliott and was practically burned
down. The insurance was $200 on the
building and $100 on the contents. The
buildings around had many a close call, but
the calm evening and the fire engine saved
them from damage.
This week saw the largest poultry train
car in Clinton yards. The car is a special one
fitted with wire coops for live poultry. J.
Elliott is buying for the firm in New York
and will load on Friday. The railways are
certainly keeping up with the trade in plac-
ing these cars on their lines.
Bayfield council has now started action in
regards to graveling the roads, under the
supervision of Mr. Leech. According to the
number of teams employed, the roads will
no doubt be in good condition.
