Separate School Board,
award oil contract
(by Wilma Oke)
The Huron -Perth County
Roman Catholic Separate
School Board meeting in Sea -
forth last Monday accepted the
fuel oil tender of Ross Scott
Ltd., of Brucefield for the
year 1974-75 at a discount of
five cents per gallon off the
posted tank wagon price which
at time of tender was 36.9
cents for all schools except
Winghain which is 37.5 cents
per gallon.
Jack Lane, Business Admin-
istrator, said the difference in
price for Wingham was that it
is located in a different prov-
incial zone.
Ted Geoffrey, of Zurich,
said the Scott tender was the
lowest of three. I -le said it was
not a firm price and will vary
when the refineries adjust their
prices, perhaps later this fall.
Mrs. Trudy Smith, of Zurich
was appoi nted principal's
relief at Ecole Ste. Marie at
St. Joseph.
The City of Stratford will be
granted permission to use the
separate schools for the munic-
ipal elections upcoming in

After months of planning
and hard work, this area has
the services of a dentist in the
person of Dr. Grant Lee. Dr.
Lee built a new dental clinic
in the east end of the village of
Zurich, and began practicing
last week.
This Friday night a big
"Open House" is planned for
the new dental facilities, at
which time the general public
is cordially invited to drop in
and meet Dr. Lee and his staff.
The "Open House" will run
from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Visitors will also have an opp-
ortunity to view the most mod-
ern equipment available today
in dentistry.
Dr. Lee's new building has
two rooms in which he can be
attending patients, both with
the newest type of dental chair
available, along with other
facilities. The front part of
the building has a large recept-
ion area, along with an office
for the receptionist. At the east
side there is a private office
for Dr. Lee, along with labor-
atory facilities and a large
size conference room. There is
a full basement underneath.
Coffee and donuts will be
served to all the visitors on
Friday night, by members of
the Zurich Chamber of Com-
merce who are sponsoring the
special Open House for Dr. Lee,
of Seaforth, Ted Geoffrey, of
Zurich, and Oscar Kieffer of
Bluevale.
The UNICEF officials were

boxes in any separate school

at Hallowe'en.

addition at St. Patrick's
School, Kinkora, as presented
by Brian Garratt, architect, of
Kyles, Kyles and Garrett,
Stratford, have been approved.
They have been sent to the
Ministry of Education for app-
roval.
The board was notified that
three members of the clergy
have been appointed to the
Trustee -Clergy Liaison Com-
mittee-- Rev. A.J. Durand of

Commenting on the budget
print-out handed out by Arthur
Haid, chairman of finance
committee, Jacl< Lane said it
was well within budget expend-
itures. Trustees are to study
the report at home and it will
be discussed at next meeting.
The board will write a letter
to the council of Hibbert Town-
ship to ask that top priority be
given, when preparing next
year's road budget, to building
a bridge on side road 20-21,
concession two of Hibbert,
Because the bridge is posted to
a limited load, the board is
unable to use the road when
transporting school students as
a school bus exceeds the restric-
ted weight. The board must
pay for an additional nine
miles travelled each day and
this is costing money, Donald
Crowley, transportation coin-
mittee chairman, said.
Howard Shantz of Stratford
