South Huron School Board Gives
Final Approval For Vocational School
SHDHS board by unanimous ses right through to the grade
consent last Tuesday night, ag-
reed
greed to support the proposed
million -dollar composite school
in Clinton which may revolut-
ionize secondary school train-
ing in the county.
The board authorized Chair-
man H. L. Snider to enter into
a tentative 10 -year agreement
to share costs of operation of
the county school which will
provide extensive vocational
training for about 600 pupils
from grades nine to 12.
Board delegates to the county
committee revealed the new
institution is expected to bring
about sweeping changes in
district education at the high
school level. They indicated
there will be a "wholesale re-
vision" in courses which may
have a more far-reaching ef-
fect than the establishment of
district school over a decade
ago.
Although details of the new
program are not official yet,
delegates revealed some of
them to encourage public sup-
port.
Enter in Grade Nine
• Students will decide at the
end of grade eight whether
they wish to take vocational
training at Clinton or academic
instruction at the local school.
They will be assisted in their
decision by a guidance service
to be established at the public
school level. The choice will be
voluntary; school authorities
will recommend which course
the student should accept but
the decision will be left with
the family.
Besides providing vocational
training for those who do not
intend to finish high school, the
composite school will give cour-
13 level to allow the vocational
student to go on to higher ed-
ucation if he wishes. The grade
13 course may be taken at
Clinton or at the home school
if proper courses are available.
Classes at the county school
will start at 9:30 a.m. and end at
3 p.m. to allow students from
each area to be transported to
and from Clinton after being
picked up by the local district
bus system. The noon -hour
period will be shortened from
50 to 35 minutes.
Eventually shop, home econ-
omics, commercial and agricul-
ture courses will be discontin-
ued at the local schools in fav-
or of more intensified pro-
grams at the central school.
Students who fail in one
course will not be allowed to
transfer to another until they
have successfully completed the
year. This will prevent "dum-
ping" of non-academic students
into vocational fields. It was
emphasized again that the voc-
ational training will require as
much native ability to complete
as academic fields, although
the stresses will be in different
areas.
District schools will be al-
lowed three years in order to
meet their quotas of enrolment.
They will be required to guar-
antee a certain number of stu-
dents for the central school to
the extent that they may be
charged over and above the
per -pupil rate if the quota is
not filled by the participating
school in question or the others
involved.
Instruction a n d operation
costs for the central schools will
be approximately 25 percent
higher than for academic cour-
ses but provincial grants will
be correspondingly higher.
The new program eliminated
many of the doubts which SH -
DHS members had about the
original proposal when only
scant details were available.

On Saturday last, Mr. and lately with her parents on this
Mrs. Joseph Masse, Windsor,
and Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Du-
charme, of near Tecumseh, call-
ed on the Ducharme's. The
two couples left their homes
on Saturday morning on a sight-
seeing trip. On their return
they called on relatives on this
highway. They travelled north
on Highway 21, probably in
the Kincardine district, there
cutting across an easterly dir-
ection, going through Walker-
ton to a further point north.
They very much enjoyed their
country -side trip and it was a
great relief from the sultry city
atmosphere. It was also an out-
ing for them viewing the towns
and burgs they went through
and as well the growing crops,
and other things interesting
along the way.
they have since resided. The
bride was the former Myrtle
Wright. They have three child-
ren, Margaret, Mrs. James Jor-
dan, of London; Ross, at home,
and Doris, Mrs. Spencer Jeffery,
of Staffa; also three grandchild-
ren, Judy, Ruth and Billy Jef-
fery.
After a delicious dinner dur-
ing which an anniversary cake
was served, the family presen-
ted their parents with a stain-
less steel electric skillet and
the grandchildren gave them a
cup and saucer.
The bride of 40 years wore
a orchid corsage and the groom
a buutoneire, also gifts from
the family. They also wished
their parents many more years
of happy married life.

their farm home south of St.
Joseph.
Miss Delores Denomme, De-

Many resorters have already
taken to their summer cottages
along the lake for their vaca-

their parents for a few days or
weeks.
Visitors over the first of July

3 o'clock, and of course by that
time most of the north -bound
traffic was about to an end, and
we think perhaps only half of
the number of cars at that late
hour were travelling. But re-
gardless of that, there were 190
travelling one way to the north,
so if that number was only half
of the average for the full 24
hours from Friday to Saturday
at the above hours, there would
be more than 8,000 vehicles
travelling north. About half
of that number were going
south or in the laneways lead-
ing to the lake. Motorists are
to be complimented for their
careful driving as few or any
accidents were reported in this
nearby highway.

Food Shortage?
On the past weekend along
this highway and perhaps as
well in other points people be-
came uneasy due to a shortage
of bread and other groceries.
Perhaps they did not think of
the first of July being a nation-
al holiday, especially for the
business people.
In the early part of the week
they did not supply their bread
box. However, they were lucky
the butcher was on his route as
usual and also the milk deliv-
ery, which was a great help to
provide a stimulant for the
hungry situation during the
long weekend. There was much
chit chatting over the situation,
but after a careful analysis of
the case we have come to the
conclusion that no blame was
put on any particular one as
all were aware of the holiday.
Heavy Traffic
Saturday last, the first day
of July, being a national holi-
day, we believe not in it's his-
tory has there been so much
traffic. We took off an hour
