C.H.S.S. Consid. ers Plans
For Larger ,Building
Twq possible plans for an ad-
dition to the Central Huron
Secondary School at Clinton
were discussed Wednesday
night at the regular meeting of
the school board. The plans,
which were recommendations
only, from the Advisory .Voca-
tional Committee, will receive
considerable study before any
decision is expected to be
reached, says board chairman
John Lavis, Clinton. He also
stated, following the meeting,
that it is believed that the esti-
mated maximum cost of an ad-
dition would be a million and a
half dollars. , The board feels,
he added, that there is suffici-
ent property at the present
school site, to build an addi-
tion to.
Walter Newcombe, Clinton,
one of the board's two repres-
entatives. on the Advisory Vo-
cationl Committee, in outlin-
ing the committee's preparatory
work said that it was more or
less information to "start the
ball rolling." The committee
recommends that a 16 -unit ad-
dition be built, if the board
wishes to accommodate 380 ad-
ditional pupils. As an alter-
nate recommendation, a 23 -unit
classroom, he said, would ac-
commodate 540 additional stu-
dents.
Figures obtained by Princi-
pal John Cochrane showed a
projected figure by 1968 of
1,506 students, "if the Grade IX
students remain in their send-
ing schools, or a' total of 1,790
students.
The school, formerly the Clin-
ton District Collegiate Institute,
opened its doors September
last, after a $1,800,000 vocation-
al addition was added. Its stu-
dent capacity was 1,250, to
terve secondary vocational. stu-
dents from Seaforth, Exeter,
Goderich and Clinton. From
opening day the school's ca-
pacity was reached, with over-
crowding in the vocational sec-
tion.
The smaller proposed addi-
tion, Mr. Newcombe said, would
include four shop rooms; one
commercial room, one science
laboratory, eight classrooms
andervice area (the service
area tinclude the present
cafeteria and kitchen to be ex-
tended, one single gymnasium
and an enlarged .general office
to accommodate a guidance of-
fice.
The larger proposed.. addition
would take in three. 'vocational
shops, three technical shops,
two commercial rooms, two sci-
ence laboratories, '10 class-
rooms and service areas (cafe-
teria and kitchen extensions),
one art room, one single gym-
nasium, and an._enlarged gen-
eral office to accommodate a
guidance office.
Mr.' Newcombe remarked
that if the smaller proposed
ddition is built;. that "in three
ars' time we will be more
than filled to capacity, and
would be then in the same boat
as we are now." I -ie added that
the Goderich-school board,
which criticized the .Clinton
board ' as having undersold
them, in not providing a large
enough school, now wants. Clin-
ton to build an addition for
only 380 pupils. •
Board members have said
that if an addition is to be
built, and that if it is to be
ready by September, 1965, that
thedecisions will have to be
made soon in order to getGt-1
work under way.
Figures released by L. R.
Maloney, business administra-
tor, reveal that the cost per
pupils per day ifh the technical
course is $2.71, while it is $2.43
in the academic course. How-
ever, it is to be expected that
as time goes • on, that is as the
pupils advance into more spe-
cialized training, and as equip-
ment is replaced, that the cost
for technical training will in-
crease par pupil.
Although the 1964 budget
has not been brought down,
Mr. Maloney reports a . small
surplus at the end of 1963.
As the result of the findings
of the cost per pupil day, and
in anticipating the 1964-65 en-
rolment, the following boards
will be required to contribute
to the Clinton board for -1964:
Seaforth, $62,872; Goderich,
$96,476; Exeter, $72,170; Cen-
tralia RCAF Station, $5,420;
and Clinton • RCAF Station,
$44,847.
The board accepted the Stu-
dy and Welfare report setting
the 62 teachers' wage •scale as
of September, 1964. Increases
in minimum and maximum sal-
aries. in the four categories to:
tal $14,000. The categories are:
(1) minimum, $4700, 'maximum
$8,500; (2) minimum $5,100-
$8,800; (3), $5,600-$9,700; . and
(4) $5,900-$10,000.
The chairman of the com-
mittee,- Mr.. Newcombe, said
that by bolding the category
one minimum, the boardhas
saved $3,200, as over one-half
of the staff is in category one.
The teachers in bargaining had
asked for a minimum in this
group of $5,000. ^i
R o b e r t Elliott Goderich
Township representative, .ques-
tioned why the board does not
follow the salary schedule 'as
set up by the Ontario Trustees'
Council, of which the Clinton
board by paying a $250 annual
fee, is a member. He was in-
formed by Chairxnan Lavis that
it takes only one school board
in Ontario to break the coun-
cil's schedule; and that in .or-
der to hire good teachers, the
board is compelled to offer
more to attract them. Said El-
liott: "Money can not buy a
good teacher, and I'm in full
agreement on keeping the cali-
bre of teachers as good as pos-
sible; however, I'm in favor of
adhering to the obuncil's salary
schedule, or else scraping it."
The board will be required
to hire five additional teachers
for September this year. Wed-
nesday night's meeting saw the
hiring of two of them. Miss
Marilyn Riley, age 25, Londes-
boro, now of South Huron Dis-
trict High School, Exeter, will
teach mathematics, commenc-
ing with a salary, of ,commenc-
ing A -
graduate of the Seafofth Dis-
trict High School, she is an hon-
or graduate in mathematics
from university. Miss Roxanne
Beavers, age.22, Exeter, whois
now employed with the Hamil-
ton Board of Education, will
teach French at a salary of
$5,000.
Promoted to "heads of de-
partments" from acting heads
were " Robert Smith, foreign
languages; 'William Nediger,
geography; Edward A. Roberts,
history; J. R. Middleton, geogra-
phy; W. G. MacArthur, com-
mercial, and R. G•.. iunter, guid-
ance.
A report received ' from the
Ontario Secondary School
Teachers' Federation on the
grading it has given the school,
showed: attitude towards edu-
cation, 83%; staff -board rela-
tions, 87%, and working con-
ditions, 68%, or good.
Permission was granted for,
a 4-H Homemaking C t u b
Achievement Day to be' 'held
in the school auditorium, Satur-
day, May 9, with 12 clubs, in-
cluding' 100 girls participating.
Permission was also granted to
the District 10 officials of the
Ontario Secondary School
Teachers' Federation to hold its
annual Education • Conference
in the school; October 21:

chief, Lawrence Denomme, will

After several hours of
smooth, uneventful riding, a
small boy on a motor trip with
his parents said to his father:
"I sure -wish you'd let mother
drive-it'sa lot more exciting."

Accident Vaccine?
WELL, NOT EXACTLY. Ten years
ago, polio was a major killer of youth;
today, vaccine has made the disease a
comparative rarity. But, even when
:polio was claiming lives by the hun-
dreds, traffic accidents were killing
more people under 25 than any other
single cause of death—and they still are.
Do we have an accident vaccine?
No. People can't be vaccinated
against accidents, but the toll can be
reduced through the teaching of cor-
rect driving habits—and safety hab-
its -4o our teen-age population at
the formative stages in their lives.
This is what the automobile in=
suranc'e business does through its
sponsorship or -the National Teen-
age Safe Driving Championship—
the culmination of a coast-to-coast
series of safe driving competitions
involving more than 30,000 young
drivers in 225 Canadian communi-
ties each year.

HISTORK FOOTWORK
The ancestor of the modern
Laundromat was a great pottery
bowl used in Pompeii about
four thousand years ago. House-
wives brought their laundry to
this bowl, and ,slaves, standing
kneedeep in water, trod the dirt
out of the clothes with their
bare feet.
CATS ARE gXEMPT
One ' of the toughest cords
known is catgut, which is used
as the -strings in harps, violas,
violins and other stringed in-
struments. Catgut is made from
the intestines of various four -
footed animals, but never from
those of a cat.
