The key to their successful marriage has been working together and listening to one another. (Anne Narejko photo) Love and sharing makes marriage good CLINTON - To have a successful. mar- riage "it takes hard work, being able to get along with each other, sharing together and never making a decision on your own," says Harry Weymouth. And Mr. Weymouth should know as he and his wife Violet celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary onMay6. The couple were married in 1925 by Rev. Hogg at the Presbyterian Manse in Clinton, but the weather was not as nice as it is 60 years later. "On the day we were married, I got up and there was six inches of snow on the ground," remembers Mrs. Waymouth. But the snow didn't dampen the bride or groom's spirits on that day. . The Waymouths settled in Clinton, raising two daughters, Mrs. Gord (Doris) Harrison, of Goderich, and Mrs. Robert (Jean) Mc- Bean, of Georgetown. They now have 10 grandchildren and three great- grandchildren. Mr. Waymouth was employed at the post office for 29 years and has a large standing mailbox outside his home on Princess Street as a reminder of his duties. While her hus- band was busy sorting mail, Mrs. Waymouth was helping at the Clinton Public Hospital: "I couldn't begin to tell you the number of years she worked there,." said Mr. Waymouth. "All the family members and friends that were able to" helped celebrate the Waymouth's special wedding anniversary at the Clinton IOOF hall on May 5.

Four room school set to close doors Ecole Ste. Marie, the little four -room school at St. Joseph on Highway 21, west of Zurich, will not open for September 1986 classes. At a meeting Tuesday night the Huron - Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board approved closing the school. The fifty pupils will be accommodated at St. Boniface School in Zurich six miles away. Board. chairman Ronald Marcy said the school needs expensive repairs including a new roof, new heating system and new win- dows. He 'said closing• Ecole Ste. Marie, in- stead of fixing it, would free up money to provide permanent accommodation for the students at St. Boniface School. The. board agreed the kindergarten students from Ecole Ste. Marie who attend St. Boniface, will remain in St. Bonif ace for the next school year. The Board will increase the core French at St. Boniface School to 40 minutes in Grade 4 for September 1986, and 40 minutes in Grade 5 for September 1987. The board will provide transportation. from Ecole Ste. Marie area to the French immersion . program in Goderich for students that wish to be enrolled in the pro- gram starting September 1985. The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board listened to a plea from ten concerned parents from St. Mary's School, Hesson, asking the board to alter its decision to put a portable classroom at the school but theboard agreed to wait to make a decision at its May 18 meeting. Mary Kocher, spokesman, explained that the Kindergarten pupils have their classroom in the basement — "a very cozy and very busy environment, more or less in their own little world. They have their own washroom, their own drinking fountain, their own sink for their paint classes, their own cloakroom and lunch box shelf.

The area outside their classroom, and this includes their washroom, cloakroom and display area, is all visible to the kindergarten teacher from the door of the classroom." Mrs. Kocher said they realized that the Kindergarten room, now barely accom- modates the 14 students in the class this year, but for the projected 25 students who will be attending kindergarten next term starting the first of September, the solution would be to divide the class. She said the lit- tle ones could continue in their present loca- tion which is ideal for children. She said no renovations would be needed and no more kindergarten furniture, only the additional cost of a teacher teaching a full day, rather than a half day. With twelve students, some of various ethnic backgrounds it would be easier for the teacher to give them more in- dividual attention, she stated. She spoke • of the expense of altering another classroom for the kindergarten students, the cost of putting that displaced class (Grade 5 was suggested by the board) into a portable which Would be costly to pur- chase, renovate and furnish. She spoke of the problem of these students having to put on' outerwear to attend gym classes in the main school building, attend computer classes, audio-visual classes, do research, or use resource material. She said a por- table must be located no less than 40 feet from the school. Ronald Marcy, board chairman, gave another side when he read a letter from a mother saying she would prefer that the 25 kindergarten children not be divided but kept intact in one class and that the services of a volunteer teacher's aid be used. She ex- pressed concern those children of ethnic origin might be channelled into one class and separated from other students. ( Mrs. Kocher said certainly not, as the parents were happy to have their children mix with different people. ) The board voted 7 -7 on a motion, to con- tinue the kindergarten classes in the base- ment and it was agreed no decision. should be made until the May 18 meeting. • The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board will purchase French First Language instruction from the most appropriate surrounding board for the DAVE COLEMAN, an FBDB representative will be at the PARKER HOUSE MOTEL in Clinton NEXT THURSDAY Come and meet him.

These trees will provide nunierous benefits in-. eluding soil erosion control, wildlife habitat, and wood products. ,John Schwindt, Conservation Services Coordinator, says, of the total number of trees to he planted, , 140,000 trees will be planted on' the land of 451 private lan- downers. Forty thousand of these trees will be planted by the landowners themselves with the Conservation Authority just helping with ordering and delivery". The ARCA tree planting crews will plant another 100,000 trees on private land with the remaining 40,000 trees being planted on Conservation Authority property. Fifteen people hired specifically for tree planting will realize 60 man weeks of employment. Thirty-five landowners are taking advan- tage of a new service provided by the ABC'A. The new service will see the Conservation Authority maintaining a field windbreak or plantation after it has been planted. This maintenance will include replacing dead trees and regular application of herbicide. The herbicide is designed to promote better tree growth by reducing weed competition. The Conservation Authority has completed assessments of half the sites where the maintenance service will be used and Schwindt says, "survival rates were good last year so it doesn't look like we will be replacing too many trees".
