period that followed _ the
meeting.

Matters came to a head
when Lynn McGaw, a society
representative, accused
school board Chairman Roy
Dungey of lying when he said
the board had not: received

any letters prior to three days

before the meeting requesting
a public forum on the ques-
tion of the use of Hamilton
school.

**This is outrageous that a
man that is wearing a collar
(Dungey is an Anglican
minister) is sitting there and

charged.

Dungey replied by saying
he “‘did not appreciate that
kind of treatment when a per-
son is trying to give answers
to questions.’

Following the meeting,
society director John Hum-
phries, who has played a pro-
minent part in the society’s
efforts, apologized to
Dungey for the confronta-
tion. Hé said it was a per-

sonal: ‘apology and not made |
on behalf of the society.
