confusion concem ing the funding of French minischool for the Pene tanguishene area is cleared up the Simcoe County Board of Education cannot assume any particular stance on the issue says its director The board has assumed following an October announce ment by Ontarios Education Minister Dr Bette Stephenson that the school to be built within the walls of Penetanguishene Secondary School for the French community would be paid for entirely by the pro Vince However the ministry says it never intended to pay 100 per cent of the cost of renovations to the existing building that may be required to create school The board doesnt have stance at this moment direc tor lrving Harris said today The verbal presentation Dr Stephenson made was not understood in the same way by everyone involved PILCH city growing dont think it hurts to have them find they are very cooperative If ask them question they are usually glad to answer Barr rie is grewing and with the expansion they will pro bably requuethem quesfion CONDITION OF PLAN During board meeting week ago several trustees said 100 per cent funding for both the costs of operating an expanded French program and making changes to the building should be condition of continuing with the plan Dr Stephensons proposal was made in an attempt to set tle the French secondary school question within economic boun daries established by the ministry while addresssing the French communitys desire for its own school The minischool will be if it is built physically separate from the main section of the building and have its own staff While the portion of the French community which wants separate school rejected the plan immediately the board voted to proceed tentatively on the proposal In her statement Oct Dr Stephenson promised t00 per cent funding for the program of instruction but made no specific mention of capital ex Denditures GERALD SULLIVAN understaffed Yes they are understaff ed believe they need men especially for

Forest Resource Management Area near oldwaten has been very low key but those participating are happy with it says ministry of natural resources spokesman The hunt designed for hunters who prefer flintlock muzzle loaders started last Monday but did not attract full compliment of en thusiasts until the weekend said Alex Smith fish and wildlife supervisor with the ministrys Midhurst office The hunt is open to only 30 hunters per day with lots drawn if more than this number show up but the average number during the week was between eight and 20 Smith said Only last Sunday did more than 30 show up at Copeland Forest for the hunt he added Smith attributed the slow start to the fact that local blackpowder enthusiasts were waiting to see if there would be overcrowding and also because the ministry did not advertise the hunt as much as it could to avoid having to its JACK HERCLM need protection think that since the City is enlarging we need the pro tection With more popula tion there is more van dalism And therefore there is an increasing need for police They do good work and it is always nice to see another one on the treet VERNA TERRAL do good job There is lot of van dalism so maybe we do need few more over in Allandale There have been few breakv ins as well It is growing ci ty so they will need bigger force They do good job now though as have seem them patrolling often turn away too many hunters in the first year HAPPY WITH HLNTS Those who did show up were happy wuli Iht hunt however and reported seeing lot of deer Smith said Only five deer have been shot so far he said because black powder hunts are modelled closely after bow hunts and enthusiasts like to wait for the right shot which means they sometimes lose the opportunity The hunt is scheduled to finish this Saturday or before if the limit of 25 deer is reached At the rate the hunters are going however they probably will not reach the limit Smith said The hunt which repreenats novel ap proach in satisfying smaller group of en thusiasts is the first of its kind in the county but is already established in other parts of the province Smith said The province is intent on providing more op portunity for these hunters he said and the sport is beginning to mushroom with well organized clubs located in Hamilton Kitchener and Toronto BRUCE JACKSON crime rate same dont think the crime rate is any different than it has been for the last few years With the RCMP detachment here tM have we have enough police in forcement But it they lttl the size of the City dictates the need for more patrols they can have them
