Steve Hook, head of the science department at SDHS and the, night school principal' says the co-operation with rec director Clive Buist has been "terrific". He says he doesn't think there is anything like it in other towns no reduction for the second child in one family was keeping people away. Mr. Lehnen said the over expenditure of about $20,000 on the Day Care Centre, which is included in the recreation com- plex at Vanastra, would not likely be a problem. He said that in informal talks' with the Ministry of Social and- Community Services in Toronto, about $10,000 in additional fund- ing had already been authorized. He said the province had told Vanastra representatives that there was enough money in the provincial day care centre budget to pay for more over expenditure. Miss McEwing said that she and her assistant, Sandy Ross, a child care graduate from Thunder Bay are supervising the twelve children. More staff can be hired, to meet provincial regulations as enrollment increases. The Day Care Cbntre will be open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. Because no one enrolled yel comes to the Centre that early, it opens at 7:30. inducted at Grand Bend; 1Rev.

They hope the classes will offer the adults in the community something to do at night, and make good use of the school facilities, The county board gets pro- vincial grants - for these who attend night school, he says, and there is a pay scale for night school teachers set by the board. By having popular courses under the night school instead of the recreation program, teachers who used •to volunteer their services can get paid.

"If there is a lot of interest in the 10 week classes, they can continue in January," Mr. Hook says, stressing that the school is • flexible. If people in the community have ideas about other courses they'd like to see offered, he's open to suggestions. The night school is always' looking for instructors for the community, he says. The main reason that no art course is offered is that there wasn't a qualified teacher available.
