Survey will seek reasons for drop in pupils at H\u2019ford Judith Taylor THE GLEANER Anxiety about falling enrolments at Hemmingford Elementary School came to a head last week in the form of a letter signed by almost 20 local parents, and a subsequent public meeting.As a result, a special sub-committee including parent, school and board representatives will draw up a survey allowing the local anglophone community to indicate what's bothering them and to suggest pssible solutions.The letter expresses concern, and urges the Chateauguay Valley School Board to investigate causes of the recent drop in the school\u2019s population, which took an unexpected 13 per cent dive to 119 this year, from 138 in 1996-97.Because of this, principal George Barrington has had to trim \u201c.85 of a teacher\u201d from his staff at the last minute, in order to conform with government With windshield | repair norms, he told The Gleaner Monday.\u201cFears unwarranted\u201d According to Barrington and to School Committee and school board representatives, some members of the anglophone community are afraid that if current trends continue, the enrolment may dwindle toward an eventual closure of the community school.This fear, Barrington says, is unwarranted, especially in view of the board's policy of protecting small schools.The principal, along with Lincoln Springer, the Board's director of Educational Services, sees this year\u2019s drop as part of an up-and-down fluctuation in pupil numbers over the last several years.Some English-language parents, in search of more French-language instruction, have opted in recent years to send their children to St.Romain\u2019s French Catholic School.Hemmingford School offers a \u201c50-50\u201d French-English program of instruction.See SCHOOL page 6 A A ee laimed on insurance.REMOTE and two SQ representatives (Sgt.Robert Beaudry of the Huntingdon office and Capt.Pouliot of St-Jean) showed a majority favoring the move to Ormstown as more central and offering larger quarters to house the 23 officers and three clerks envisioned for the new force.The MRC Council of Mayors had gone on record as being ready to approve either Huntingdon or Ormstown, but leaving the final decision to the SQ.A recent Quebec government pronouncement in favoring of using or selling any government buildings not currently being used lends weight to the Ormstown option.The building there was built for a regional administrative Transport post which was subsequently shifted to See POLICE page 6 Municipal coffers _ may swell thanks to traffic tickets, fines Haut-St-Laurent mayors are expecting that the money collected in traffic fines in 1998 will not only cover costs of the procedures and of the municipal court, but that there will be some left for municipalities.All traffic tickets issued on municipal roads as well as fines imposed for breaking municipal by-laws will be collected by the municipal court, which sits in Huntingdon as often as necessary (six or seven times during 1997).MRC prefect Paul-Maurice Patenaude of Dundee believes that the money collected should average out at some $100,000 annually.This, he said, would cover the $20,000 payable to government for administration costs as well as the $60,000 needed to operate the municipal court.See FINES page 11 y A.Piled high in Ormstown This six-foot leaning tower of snowman last week the front yard of the Leger-Bouchard residence on Geddes St.outside of Ormstown, where it was just one of a dozen seasonal decorations brightening the wintry land- sca .pe.(Photo: V.F.)

crushing others.2.The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed.3.Insisting that a thing is impossible because we ourselves cannot accomplish it.4.Attempting to compel other persons to believe and live as we do.5.Neglect in developing and refining the mind by not acquiring the habit of reading fine literature.THE ANNUAL CHARITY PARTY One of the most benevolent and commendable organizations ever started in Huntingdon makes its annual appeal to the public .The Ladies of St.Anne, belonging to the Parish of St.Joseph, are true community leaders.They not only aim to provide wants for needy but are exercising their power to see to it that poor children are not handicapped in obtaining at least a primary education.The poor children so assisted, will grow up and become worthy citizens, and not only able to provide for themselves but be able to belp provide for others as they are presently being assisted by the good \u201cLadies of St.Anne.\u201d $479.69 is not a lot of money when it must 30 years ago be spent on clothing and care for 39 families throughout the past winter.Had the Ladies not been able to carry out this great social work in Huntingdon and community, our councils would have been called upon to provide funds to protect these children and adults from the rigors of our Canadian winters.PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS ATTAINED .Of the various towns

discarded food remains outside the Gleaner office.I then parked (no mean feat) at the other end of the main street and started my purchases.Outside each store I visited, the public area was strewn with old filthy garbage from assorted sources.Laneways made convenient places to throw even larger pieces of garbage.: Instead of a pleasant shopping expedition in a pretty country commerical centre, 1 faced an assault course littered with strewn garbage.I left Huntingdon not only with my purchases, but with an added image of Huntingdon as a dirty ugly place to avoid, if at all possible.To those town councillors, and other MRC politicians who want to build a bicycle path as a tourist project, paid for with taxpayers\u2019 meager resources, I have a message for you: tourists do not want to visit dirty garbage-strewn shopping areas.You do want them to come and spend money, don't you?Tourists like to visit clean, well- run places.Instead of spending taxpayers\u2019 money and time on committees, studies, and grading agricultural land, why doesn\u2019t the Town do something that costs little but gets immediate results.Start slowly, and clean up our own act! Huntingdon could be such a pleasant place for tourists to visit.We have the river, with recent attempts to beautify the banks.We have historic buildings.We have a reasonable range of restaurants for all tastes and pockets.However, we also have garbage, and lots of it! : I have a challenge for your readers.Start at the Walker Bridge and stroll to the Gleaner office, taking any of the three main routes.On the way, pick up and carry only every other piece of garbage you pass.If you get to the end with one hand empty, I'll be surprised.Monsieur le maire, and councillors, would you care to go first?What are you waiting for \u2014 a public health officer to declare Huntingdon a health danger.Name witbbeld by request Xmas service at Beechridge looks to be first in 100 years Does anyone in the Valley remember attending a Christmas service in the Beechridge Presbyterian Church?Neil MacKay, keeper of the church books, cannot find any record of one and so we believe that the last one must have been approximately 100 years ago! The small but developed congregation has been preparing eagerly to receive the Madrigal Choir on Sunday, Nov.30, at 8 p.m., and as many faithful friends as the church can hold: about 100 persons.Electricity and indoor \u201cfacilities\u201d have not come to Beechridge yet but you can be sure that it will toasty warm with the two \u201cpotbellies\u201d radiating heat.Lighting will be provided by generators set out in the nearby field .but let us leave some surprises!
