Board chairman Donald Crowley of RR2 Gadshill said of the wholesale moving of principals and teachers, "It's a strengthening move for the system." Superintendent Joseph Mills explained: "It is the first time it has been done in the system. It was done to fill vacancies, to strengthen the system and to make the best use of personnel." Mr. Mills said all the principals and teachers to be moved have been told. The seven principals to be transferred are: Gary Bir- mingham to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, RR3 Dash- wood from' St. Aloysius School, Stratford; Larry Cook to St. Patrick's, Dublin from St. Mary's School, Goderich; Don Farwell to St. Joseph's Clinton, from St. Columban; Michael Dewan to Immaculate Conception, Stratford from St. Joseph's School, Stratford; Sister Homebound gets grant Audrey Dumouchelle to St. Michael's, Stratford from Immaculate Conception; Adrian Pontsioen to St. Joseph's School, Stratford from St. Joseph's at Clinton; Sam Alberice to St. Aloysius, Stratford from St. Michael's School, Stratford. Two vacancies for prin- cipals have resulted with the resignation of Sister Florence Kelly at St. Patrick's, Dublin and Sister Viola Feeney at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, RR3 Dashwood. Principal's positions at St. Mary's, Goderich and St. Columban are still open. The eleven teachers being transferred are: June Holmes from St. Columban to Kindergarten at Exeter, half days only; Patrick Shaughnessy from St. Columban to principal's relief and music at Seaforth and St. Columban; Helen Ryan to half days Kindergarten at Our Lady of Mount Carmel; Barry Linden from Ecole Ste. Marie, RR2 Dashwood to Precious Blood School, Exeter; Doreen Nogale now full time Kindergarten at St. Patrick's, Dublin to Kin- dergarten half days at St, Joseph's, Clinton and at Dublin, Ralph Weishar from Immaculate Conception School, Stratford to St. Three Huron students will conduct survey An approved federal government grant for $8,274 will enable three Huron County students to be em- ployed this summer to con- duct a survey in the• northern part of the county in the hopes of starting a county day centre for thehomebound in the Wingham area this fall. Ann St. Jean, co-ordinator of ` the Huron County day centre for the hornebound located in C.linton at Huronview and sponsor for the grant, says the idea of a Centre for the homebound has "taken off like wildfire" since the one in the Clinton area opened last October after being established by the Huron Outreach Committee. The centre provides activities and asocial outlet for those in the county who, because of age and or disability, would • not otherwise be able to take advantage of such outings. Mtg.' St. Jean emphasizes that all age groups, from 20 to 90 years, are catered to. Volunteer drivers pick up the homebound people and transport them to the centre. More such drivers are needed. The Clinton area centre can only handle about 15 homebound persons a day. Because of time and distances, it is difficult to serve all the homebound in the county through this one centre. Mrs. St. Jean would like to see the centre at Huronview, as the core centre with satellite centres located around the county, the first such satellite centre perhaps being located in the Wingham area. The three students hired to conduct the surt>Vy and lay the footwork for such satellite centres, will work from May to September. They will receive an initial training period in Clinton. They will then visit doctors, ministers, recreation centres and anyone who knows of homebound people. After this, they will visit and in- terview these homebound Couple wed 40 years Mr. and Mrs. Harry Williams of Wellington Street in Goderich; celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary ,on Friday, May 5, with a dance and evening buffet at Saltford Valley Hall.
