Mr. Baan said that U,D.P.C. had enjoyed a good operating year, in 1971 and referred par- ticularly to two major decisions by the Board. Considerable time was spent studying the long term plans of the company and it was decided that U.D.P.C. should not only continue to retain its pro- ducer control and co-operative identity but should seek to ex-. pand in tne processing and mark- eting segment of the business. "Christmas brings temptations to many parents, while visiting with neighbours or completing last-minute shopping, to leave small children unattended for short periods," says Fire Chief John F. Scott. "At the same time decorat- ions, trees and wrapping paper bring an increased threat of fire danger, unless constant care is exercised." The Fire Chief urges all par- ents to recognize the fire danger of this season, and not leave small children alone in the home even for a moment. He points The Directors also decided to use the trading name -of GAY LEA FOODS to capitalize on the ex- cellent image which the GAY LEA brand name has developed over the years and to describe more accurately the expanding line of food products being dis- tributed through food stores and the growing institutional market. T, E. Brady, General Manager, announced a 19.7 per cent in- crease in sales volume to over $31 million and an increase in net earnings to $324,000, com- pared with $207,000 in 1970. Mr. Brady said that out of earn- ings the Directors had declared a dividend of 800 per share on common shares. This dividend of approximately 8 per cent, along with the appreciation of the' shares,, made U.D.P.C. shares a very atractive investment. out that the criminal code of Canada forbids such action which endangers the life or health of any child under the age of ten years. Parents are further reminded that under certain conditions a Christmas tree can be.ignited by a single' match to burn•furiously to charred wood in a few seconds. Care must be taken to keep butts of natural trees immersed in water, and to ensure that the tree itself does no t obstruct access to a door or window.

THE HUR a • HE NEEDS LOVE This studious young fellow is Ray, five years old. He seems younger, partly because he is small for his age, and partly because he was born prematurely and hasnq quite caught up to the five-year-level. His speech, for instance, is not very clear.? But it is improving and it is expected that school will help. psychological tests indicate he is of average ability. His health is good after a poor start. He has a slight heart defect but his activities are not restricted and doctors do not expect any operation will be needed. Ray's right eyelid droops, which gives him rather a sleepy look. His eyesight is notaffected but corrective surgery may be recommended later. This is a most lovable youngster with a sweet, gentle disposition. He enjoys other children. Ray will be a delightful son for loving, relaxed parents. To inquire about adopting Ray please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station K. Toronto. For general adoption, information ask your Children's Aid Society, a a eaforth • TWAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN *Farm Record Book S - Time. It is farm record book analysis time again.

A survey of the elementary schools in the, county showed that many of the schools are al— ready using the non-grading sys- tem to a degree. The committee listed 12 signs in the county elementary schools showing a trend toward non-grading pro- cedures. The committee also pointed out that the non-graded approach to education recognize's that each child is unique and has his own rate and patter n 'of physical, mental, social and emotional growth; that he has his own special mode of learning with growth continuous from infancy to maturity; that a feeling cl success and a lack of the inhibiting fear of failure are essential for nor- mal growth; and finally, that children face certain. common "developmental tasks" and should work at those tasks when they reach the appropriate ma- * turity levels. "The graded structure in an elementary school presents cer- tain barriers to putting such a philosophy Into practice," the report noted. "Grade lines are part of a century old organizat- ion, whose only educational value lies in making it easier to ad- minister a school or classroom. They are recognized now as a pail of an organization inconT sistent with 20th century know7'. it (71 happy season to our friends and customers. 7711Vr6 Fabricators' (1988 Ltd.) . ledge of child growth and develop- ment." a Ungrading a school or classroom is one way to make possible the continuous progress of children," the report added. During a frank and open ques- tion and answer period, board members' raised some of their concerns about the open concept and the non-graded system. Chairman of the Board, R.M. Elliott, said he wonders if education wasn't "going around in (-Circles", with the open con- cept and even the non-graded system a type of return to the old one-room schools where stu- dents could listen to anything that interested them, in grades above or below' them. Arnold Mathers claimed that in the new system, schools were "keeping the best part of the one-room school" - that of eX- posure to various levels df learn- ing - but with the added advan- tage of a teacher having less grades to handle at home time and more teaching aids with which to work. - Several questions were asked concerning what would happen to students coming out of this system into high school, and it was declared that the credit sys- tem to . go into effect in the county high schools this fa , would enhance the prop9 ed adjustments at the elementary level. ,The board learned that edu- cators were not neglecting the basic three R's in the new methods.
