Council - Endorses C of C Plea Seaforth council, meeting in special session Tuesday, eve- ning, endorsed a Chamber ' of Commerce recommendation con- •cerning Bell Telephone service in Seaforth. Council agreed to accept the Bell offer of two directories to Seaforth and . Dublin subscrib- ers as, a temporary solution, providing Bell indicates in writ- ing that it will press to provide equal service "east of Seaforth as is given' west and south. The problem' arose when Bell rearranged administrative areas. which resulted in Seaforth and Dublin subscribers being divid- ed 21/2 miles east of Seaforth and listed in different director- ies. The C of C fiointed out the disruption' to normal usage this would create, and the protest led to several meetings to dis- cuss the matter. • Set Plctris For Huron -Perth Loop The Huron -Perth intermedi- ate loop, one of the, oldest leagues affiliated with the On-- tario Baseball Assogiation, may have six or seven teams in competition this season. At a meeting in Hensall !text Wednesday a schedule is to be drawn up, Bob Sadler,. of Stella, newly -elected president, said Friday: The officers were elected at an organization meeting with Gerald Bell, Hensall, 'vice-presi- dent, and John Livermore, Clin- ton, re-elected secretary -treas- urer, a position he has held for over 30 years. Mr. Sadler said Staffs, Exeter and Zurich teams have definite- ly decided to 'enter. Teams from Walkerton and Clinton are possibilities and there may be two others. The intermediate league has been operating for years, once drawing top crowds. Last year the Staffs team Won the inter- mediate "B” provincial title, FARM NEWS OF HURON Legumes and grass have made tremendous growth in the last few days with nice timely rains and warm weather.

Vocational A special meeting is expect- ed -to be held in 'Clinton on May 27 of the four boards com- prising. the Central. Huron Sec- ondary School. Purpose of the' -meeting-Is to discus a a P1',9Posal regarding increased, vocation , education in the South Huron Secondary., School, Exeter. The request for the meeting was made earlier last week by the Exeter board,. ‘ , It was anticipated that . last Wednesday's night Clinton school board meeting would hear the discussion on a' pro- posed addition, to the Clinton school, but upon the writte re- quest from Exeter, the ntire matter dropped out of th4 pic- ture. •The Vocational wing to the. Clinton school opened last fall to secondary vocational stu- dents from Goderkh, Exeter, Seaforth and Clinton, and from opening day overcrowding ex- isted. The board expected at the May 13 meeting to' receive a p611 from the' other' three boards as, to whether *to build an addition to accommodate 380 pupils, or a, .larger .one for 540. • Kenneth Johns, Woodham, chairman of the Exeter board, said following the Clinton board meeting that his board is faced with a $225,000 addition, and that the secondary school in- spector, D. W. Scott, London, has advised the board to, in- crease its vocational training within the Exeter school. This would cut down on the number of pupilsattending Clinton from Exeter, but,, there would still be a number attend Clin- ton for specialized training, he sail. Mr. Johns said' that the pro jected attendance at Exeter in five years' time is expected to jump from the present 670 ca- pacity to 1,000. Grants for pupils being transferred by bus to Clinton have been reduced considerably, he said, adding that the Ontario Department of Education is now not in favor of buying education. (There art -some..pupils from the Grand Bend area, who tray el a total of 100 miles per day to receive vocational training at Clinton). -"Clinton is faced with a building program, and we are —.plus the matter of the grants —all reasons for our wanting to discuss the matter with the other three boards. We don't wish to take any action until the other boards study the Mat- ter; we ,want them to feel hap- py over the whole thing," he said. Questioned about the present 10 -year contract Exeter has, along with Goderich and Sea - forth boards, to sand 15 per cent of its total enrolment to Clinton, Mr, Johns said that at the present time Exeter is not sending the whole 15 'per cent (Goderich is sending over .the '15 per cent). "We were given three years to fill the Clinton school, and from opening day it was overcrowded," he added. At the .Clinton board meet- ing resignations were, accepted from Robert C. Welsh' (shop) who will go to Hagersville, and Douglas Devall (science), who will join the London Board of Education. .The sbairman of the prop,erty_cemmittee, George Falconer, Brucefield, presented the resignation of the school's chief engineer, Charles W. Hut- chins, effective immediately. It was decided that a replacement would not be made until July. as there would be a saving of a third of a year in salary. (Bailers in the school are not on in the summer months). Walter Newcombe, Clinton, chairman of the Study and Wel- fare Committee,_ recommended the appointment of seven teach- ers, upon Principal John Coch- rane's recommendation. To com- mence duties September 1st will be Mrs. Sheila Peever, age 27, Seaforth, presently a house- wife, six years 'business experi- ence, who will teach typing and shorthand, salary '$5,700; Gar - nos James, age 23, Hamilton, native of Jamaica, West ,Indies, to' teach Spanish and English, $4,700; John Wilson, age 31, In- gersoll, a graduate of the Clin- ton school, to teach History, salary $4,700; Miss Doris El- liott, aged 24, Thedford, Girls' PT., $5,300; Michael McCon- nell; aged 29, Clinton, History and Geography, $5,100; Paul Jamieson, age 25, Clinton, Eng- lish, $5,300; and Mrs. Shirley Weary, Caledonia,etyping, sal- ary $6,000. - The committee also recom- mended that the courses offer- ed for hairdressing and shoe re- pair -be extended for another month. Principal Cochrane's report showed - that the total enrol- ment on April 30 was 1,191, as compared to 1,204 -the -end of March. The average daily at- teridatice was 1,129, or 92.02 • per cent. The 15 pupil retirements, said Mr. Cochrane, may be Classified as: Clinton school, a total of five: two working, one at home, one moved out of the province and one medial; Go erich, a total of four: three 'working, ,one at home; South Huron, Exeter, a total of two working, two at home, one medical and one unemployed. Examinations commence June 8th and end June 12th. 'Grade XIII commence examinations June 8th and finish June 19th. School closes June 26th, Mr. Cochrane presented a summary of a six-day schedule which had been approved by the district inspector for a one- year trial next year. This does• not mean .a six-day week, ra- ther a six-day class cycle. The system, said the principal, has been used in one school in Lon- don this year. In the past, the Clinton school has operated on a five-day cycle with the num- ber of periods- varying from 'nine to 11. Accordingly, the length of the periods has fluc- tuated between 35 and 40. min- utes. The number of periods per cycle and therefore, the number of periods per day and the number of minutes per per- iod had •been dependent on three factors: (1) the time avail- able during the day; (2) the number of options being -offer- ed in the various grades, and (3) whether school activities are offered as co -curricular or extra -curricular events. The principal said that' the size of the Clinton school does not lend itself to the -37-minute period being used. By the time a class, moves from one end of the building to another, the teacher can count on approxi- mately 30 minutes in which the class is before him. Of this time, the 'teacher checks atten- dance, takes up homework, pre., sents an assignment after teach- ing a lesson—all an impossibil- ity. The lengthening of the school day, said -the principal, .is _not .possible-. because of the rigid' bus schedules. Business administrator was instructed to arrange the sale of surplus materials from the school. An auction sale will be held of many articles, ieclucl-- ing a small snowblower, tables, desks, ,wooden window blinds, stacking chairs, drafting bench- es, storage cupboards, a drink- ing fountain, slate boards, -and a coffee or cold drink urn. After a long and thorough discussion, Walter Newcombe and Robert Elliott, Goderich Township, moved that all non - teaching employees with less than 12 months continuous ser- vice with the board, be grant- ed two weeks holidays in early July. They will be paid 2% of •the money they earned up .until the end of June. The board agreed to pay travel expenses and meals for J. Ross Middleton, who heads the school's geography depart- ment, to attend a series of meet- ings in London, May 20, 21 and 22, at the University of West- ern Ontario. The meetings are being arranged by the Cana- dian Association of Geography. Ken Clynick and two boys' T.P. teachers were authorized to at- tend an Ontario Athletic Train- ing Camp, at Orillia, June 19 and 20, with 'expenses paid. Approval, was granted to Rich- ard Harland, head of the school's technical department, to attend a technical directors' conference in May in Muskoka. Approval was given by the board for the incorporation of a special course this fall for owners and managers of small businesses. The course, distinct (Continued on Page 4) TAKING 'PART in a nieeing on Rural Develep.ment;, sponsored Thursday might in Clin- ten by the Huron County Fek,ration of Agriculture, were, left to right, Don Middleton,_To- ronto, OFA fieldman; Charl.S" H.
