night. recentl :14.ag' says Venice is
beautiful, like. something out of Romeo
and Juliet, but uppg.PIAly the old buildings
are crumbling underneath the water level,
Everybody knows that there are no
V roads, only can* in Venice, But it's still
amazing to be there and understand that
all traffic is water traffic. Oh, you can walk
quite a bit, over bridges and along -canals
but all the provisiens for the huge city have'
to go by'boat. There just aren't any roads
'or trucks or-ears. The buses are boats with
regular stops. The logical extension would
be a subway by submarine but we haven't
heard of any plans for that.
The two have seen most of central
Europe since we reported last. They had a
really lovely-time at the home of Berndien
Groothius, a niece of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald
Groothius of Seaforth, who was over here a
couple of summers ago. Mag said that they
had a hard time keeping up with the
Groothius kids who ride bikes everywhere,
and thought nothing of a bike trip of 10 km
one way. Mag and Joe came puffing up
behind for a good pert of that trip. •
They, went to Denmark, where Mag
loved the beautiful wood, glass and fabric
in the stores. Mag went to visit Hank Scott,
an old friend from Seaforth who works in
Lahr, Germany and Joe went up to
Norway to visit a family that he 'd rpOt on his
train travels somewhere in the south •We
haven't heard yet what the Norwegions'
reaction was when he arrived on their
doorstep in response to what was probably
a "come and see us if you're up our way"
invitation.
Mag spent a day in Munich at
..Octoberfest but says it was so cold that she
had to buy gloves, socks and a hat. The
two bought a tent in Holland but I think Joe
has made the most use of it.
We suggested that the three of them set
itp their tent in a campground on Corfu
where the better half and I stayed six years
ago. It's a gorgeous island of turquoise
blue bays and even th ough it rained a lot
the week we stayed there, it's a good place
for R and R, as a Vietnam veteran we met
there called it.

students, who are mentally
capable of learn ltigmay make the
Pat adjustment within themselves
which will allow them to continue
efffectively within the system,
"We are painfuiy aware of the
fact that children elsewhere are
receiving the help they need 'in
order to learn how to, read," she
said. "Will our child; be denied
the right to-an education because
these specialized programs are
not available in Huron County ?"
Recognizing that, the highest
school board' expenditure goes
toward salariei; "is it not
reasonable for us to expect a high
level of efficiency in the regular
classroom and specialized help
., for- those who • need it?" she
asked.
In her brief she also asked what
criteria is used to evaluate a
teacher? "Are your reports which
you use to evaluate a teacher's
worth as vague and sometimes
misleading as the report cards our
children bring home Are you
paying teachers simply on the
basis of their own education or on
the basis of their ability to
teach?"
Mrs. Van den• Broeck asked
what incentives there were for a
teacher to be encouraged to
become a better teacher. She
suggested that Board policy of
recognizing university courses to
be of greater value in the long run
that Department of Education
Courses on teaching methods
created a feeling in teachers of,
'Why take a course to be a better
teacher when I can take a
university course that is going to
-give me a better salary whether or
not •it has anything to do with
teaching.'
She went on to point out that
the best salaries in the school
system were in admieistration.
"Therefore I would like to know
how many of our best teachers are.

director of student services for
the board Ila Keyes explained to
the meeting that following testing
a list of recommendation§ are left
at the school to be acted on by the
teachers involved with these
children.
She also explained that more,
than 2600 students were to sted
by the Student Services staff and
that insufficient staff meant that a
more complete program of
services after testing could not be
offered. "With a staff of 50," she
suggested, "pe'rhaps more could
be done."
"I have 304 referals otemy desk
today and• this iS only the end of
September," she explained.
Board member R. J. Elliott said
he thought Mrs. Van den Broeck
was correct on at least one point.
He said it *as very likely that
remedial teachers were being
flooded because basic skills "may
not be taught in the classroom."
The. Board accepted Mrs. Van
den. Broeck's brief and referred it
to the education committee for
further study and for possible
recommendations.
By W. G, Strong '
"The hush of autumn holds the
land
In peaceful, quiet rest,
As if in gratitude to God
For days so richly blessed.
The silent reverence- of the hills
Is wrought in sheaves of grain,
Acknowledgment of God is drawn
Across the fertile plain.".
(Jansson)
"Thank you" was among the
earliest expressions that our
parents taught us as children.
They were trying to...impress upon
our young minds that if we were
to be happy ourselves as well as
trying to make others happy, we
should never forget to express
gratitude to all who h elped us.
Just saying, "Thank you" does
not necessarily make us grateful.
Too many of us are like some of
the lepers of old who were too
busy thinking 'of themselves to
humbly say, "Thank You".
At this joyous season let us stop
and think of some of the blessings
far which we should-be thankful.
Give thanks for the sun, the rain
and the soil which yielded food in
abundance. Give thanks to men
and boys who toil to produce our
food; to the farmers who harvest
grain; to the stockmen who raise
livestock that we may have meat;
to the market gardener who cares
• for his vegetables and labours
that we may have healthful food;
to the peOple who handle our. food
and get it to our tables nutritious
and attractive. Let us remember
with thoughtful hearts and minds
that in spite- of the bounties of
nature, millions of men, women
atWehildren round the world are
hungry today. Let us give thanks
for our nation's understanding of
the needs of others as it seeks
ways and means to share.
At Thanksgiving time many of
our great hymnS are used to
express genuine thankfulness.

farmer said, "But someolte gets
paid $15 an hour in a factory; to

l'1111 catering to popular demand this
week and In response to a lot of questions
on the, street (take a bow, you two) about
"how are the kids doing in Europe?", I'll
bring readers , up to date on the travels of
the terrible two. '
The terrible two are my sister Margaret,
24 and brother Joe, 19, who are travelling,
more or less together,' through Europe on,
what used to be called a Grand Tour but is
now dictated by "as long as our money .
leSIds out."
They reported Monday from Rome and
the news wasn't good. Margaret phoned
the office practically in tears and sounding
as clear as if she were calling from a mile
away. She's in Rome and she's sick.
She's got what a doctor at the
International Hospital there called an
allergy to something and she broke out in
boils. She has to take lots of medicine and
go to the hospital every day for a shot and
the call was.a request to send some more of
her money so that she can pay for all this
medical treatment.
She was feeling pretty miserable, but far
from ready to come home. She's going to
stay put at a pensione in Rome, eating a
bland diet that the doctor prescribed, until
the end of the week when she plans to head
for Corfu, Greece, on the ferry from' Italy.
' And though a recent letter from her
started out with "Fortunately or
unfortunately, I found Joey a few days
ago". She's lucky that he's with her again
and can run out and get food and stuff
(and I know he'll enjoy being a nurse) while ,
she's in bed. The two split up for awhile
and Joe met a friend, Joe Jansen, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Jansen of
Egmondville, in Holland.
Joe and JOe travelled down from Holland
(we don't have the details on that trip yet)
and met Mag in Venice last week. "They
were wandering around Venice, completely
lost and seemed overjoyed to see me,"
Mag says in a letter we got here Friday.
They all stayed in Venice to h ear the
concert that Paul McCartney gave for the

Remembering . . .
some of the songs of Holy Writ
about this theme ' and are
preserved for us in Psalm 136.
This song was early used in
temple worship with two groups
of singers taking part. One group
made a statement about God, the
other sang the response.
"0 give thanks unto the Lord for
He is good; for His mercy en-
diareth forever;
O give thanks unto the God of
gods, for His mercy endureth
forever;
O give thanks to the Lord of lords,
for His mercy endureth forever;
To Him who alone doeth great
wonders, for His mercy
endureth' forever;
To Him that by wisdom made the
heavens, for His mercy
endureth forever;
To Him that stretched out the
earth above the waters, for His
mercy endureth forever; '
To Him that made g reat
for His Mercy endureth forever;
The sun to rule by day, for His
mercy endureth forever
Who giveth food for all flesh, for
His mercy endureth forever;
0 give thanks unto the God of
heaven, for His mercy endurelh
forever."
• in .the northern part of France
some one hundred and fifty years
ago, one of the world's greatest
artists was born. He lived among
plain, toiling peasants who
worked their fields and tended
their flocks as their ancestors had
done for generations. Even the
style of their dress had not
changed. The same plain,
home-dyed, home-spun, home-
made garments were worn by the
villagers in Millet's time as had
been worn by their ancerstors.
Nor had the character of the
people changed. They were hard-
working, honest and patient,
deeply attached to ,their homes
and families and deeply religious.

We did some travelling closer to home
on the weekend .... out to Colbourn anu
the Wawanosh townships to pick wild
grapes for jelly. The crop wasn't as good
this year as last but we still managed to
pick a garbage bag full.
And afteterny htfsband and I and a couple
of friends I roped in to help were up to our
elbows in darlepUiple juice, separating tiny
grapes from stems and leaves, we had
enough grapes to make 10 jars of jelly.
• It's darn exciting to see those 10 jars
sitting on my kitchen counter. And they're
free . - ..except for the cost of the sugar
and the electricity and the time that went
into them,.
Just because a couple of friends were.

instead of wine we've got the grape pulp in
a crock with some yeast and we're going to
see if any kind of beveage can be made out

know.
Wh ile we're on the subject of canning
....what do you do with your green
tomatoes? Because of a late planting and
weird weather, I've got three bushels of
them and am looking for mouth watering
recipes to use them up. So far 20'bottles of
green tomato chutney and five of green
tomato mincemeat have just made a dint in
our supply. Hmmm ....what about green
tomato wine?
We could likely brew enough, to keep

In that land, every night when-
the surewent down, a sweet bell,
called the Angelus, rang from the
church steeple. Then all the
people stopped their work and,
bowing their heads, thanked God,
the Father of all and the Giver of
all good things. •
One day a father and mother
were working out in the fields
when the Angelus sounded. It
was early twilight, the close of a
lovely autumn day. The father
had been digging potatoes with a
crude fork and the mother was
putting them into bags. They
were working later than usual to
fill another sack when they were
suddenly reminded of the hour of
prayer by the. ringing of the
Angelus. Reverently the father
took off his 'hat and bowed his
head as did his wife. He thanked
God for the sunshine and the rain
which made* his potatoes grow.
He thanked God because he was
strong and well and could work
