week on their opinions on the seventy minute classes, and the
results were, exactly as suspected.
Every teacher ',questioned likes the extended period
program.They all agreed it gave them time to accomplish more
with individual problems.
The physical education teachers, Mr. Johnston and Miss
Weiler approved because of the time,they can spend at each
activity. The science teachers: Mr. Procter, Mr. Hook and Mr.
Stephens agreed it gave them time to complete experiements
that would have usually taken two classes to effect the results.
Mr. Caldwell, ,Mr. Burgess, Mr. Farag and Mrs. Prystayko,
the teachers of English and foreign languages said that seventy
minute classes allow more extensive coverage of the lessons.
The Math teachers, Mr. Pelss and Mr.- Judge like the new
program because it gives more time to help with problems and
provides more time for students to come in for extra help.
Others said classes were more relaxed than last year's 35
minute system. The secretaries both agree the halls are, quieter
this year.
Overlooking teh very few and very minor disadvantages, we
believe the student-teacher. opinion polls are proof that Mr.
Shaw's new program is ri success. Congratulations on a job well
done!

Mary Ann Kowbuz of
Bayfield has filed an application
with the Federal Local Initiatives
Program requesting funding for
the establishment of a Huron
County Central Volunteer
Bureau.
As a result of the Federal and
Provincial governments retraint
programs, social service agencies
are finding it more and more
difficult to •provide high quality
care, time and personal attention
to their growing number of
clients, she said.
This ineans that agencies and,
their staff members must rely
more heavily on the good will and
skilled services of volunteer
workers in their immediate areas
according tc Ms. Kowbuz.
"Because the population of
Huron County is relatively small
and widespread," she• explained,
"the need for co-ordination of
services is much more important
than it might be in more densely
populated areas. The fact that
many social service agencies have
their head offices located outside
the county or in a part of the
county not readily accessible to
the entire elientelle, makes the
delivery of service even More
difficult."
Ms. Kowbuz says that for this
reason also, the definition of total
community needs is often difficult
to determine. "It is recongized
that the development of volunteer
services and' the presence of
self-help groups-are healthy signs,
of any progressive committee,
she says.'
The proposed VOlunteer
Bureau would offet service "To
individuals wishing to volunteer
through planned recruitment,
personal interview, referral to
organization and further
counselling on ways to broaden
their community service,"
according to the proposal sent to
L.1. P.
It would be, established to
provide consultation to citizens
organizations through volunteer
opportunites for individual
members, selection of group
projects, setting up and operating
their own ...volunteer service
program and planning of
educational programs.
Ms. Kowbuz says the bureau
would offer consulting services to
agencies and organiiations
through organizing for volunteer
services, - . strengthening
established volunteer services,
describing volunteer jobs,
planking for training,
supervision, recognition of
volunteer contribution and the
establishment and maintenance
of standards for volunteer
service.
She also hopes the new groups
would co-ordiante joint efforts of
,two more more agencies in
developing standards recruiting
and training volunteersL and

The bureau would also promote
recognition of volunteers in.
community service and serve as a
resource to agencies seeking
trained and experienced board
members.
If approved, the Central
Volunteer Bureau would lie
located in either Goderich or
Clinton,
It would provide full time
employment for four persons
during a six month period and
these staff members would be
responsible for establishing
community awareness of the
Bureau, Identifying immediate
needs and setting out basic
guidelines for future operation.
Ms. Kowbuz explains that an
Advisory Committee consisting of
representatives from various
community agencies will be
established to provide guidance
and oh going community input.
This committee would also assist
the Bureau personnel in defining
current and future community
and agency needs, and will assist;
in recommending appropriate
plans. to meet these needs.
Ms. Kowbuz explains that in t
order to develop the proposal a
telephone interview survey was
,ecaducted with agency directors
and full time co-ordinators of
volunteer services, agency
personnel who function as part
time volunteer co-ordinators, and
groups and individuals in need of
voluntary assistance.
"The findings of this study,"
Ms. Kowbuz says, clearly
indicate a definite need for a
Central Volunteer Bureau which
concerns itsefl with the work of
volunteers. in Huron County."
Ms. Kowbuz notes that
although these 'are all urban
settings, their conceptural
framework and actu al function
would lend themselves to a
county such as Huron.
"The basic ingredients for a
successful bureau," she says,
"appear to be indentifiable
groups and individuals who are in
need of assistance and a strong
community support both in 'terms.
of time and money. These all
seem evident in this area."
A good deal of time has been
given by both agency people and
private citizens in working out the
basic ground rules for a Central
Volunteer Buruea, Ms. Kowbuz
explained. "We may also say that
we are reasonably sure that office
space will be donated to • .thc
project by peOple in the
community."
"It should also be noted," she
says, "That volunteer bureau
that have been in existence for
some time evolve from being
co-ordinating bodies into
agencies that are clearing houses
for all kinds of volunteer work."
Ms. Kowbuz also suggested
that such groups "seem to be
the apparent motiviator for
development of autonomous
self-help , groups re strictly
voluntary programs in their
respective communities.
Ms. Kowbuz also noted that
she is presently looking for
Individuals and groups who might
have thoughs about the ways in
which such a 'bureau might be
useful to them, Such persons
should contract Mary Ann
Kowbuz at Box 235 Bayfield or
telephone 482.3194.
Mr, Farag: "I like the long
periods, especially with senio .r
gra les as you cover more

time between Thursday and
Monday and teaching four

Mr. Stephens: I like them.

Board nominates
Teachers for
(Continued prom Page 1)
Applicaiions from Blaire
Fisher, a teacher at Howick
Central Public School and John
Ball, of Seaforth District High
School, were endorsed by the
board.
Such a tour of duty overseas is
of two year's duration. During
this time such a teacher, to all
intents and purposes, remains an
employee of the local Board of
Education.
Salary continues to be paid by
the Board by depdsit to the
teacher's bank account in
.,,C.anada. The Board in turn hills
the Department of National
Defence on a monthly basis for
reimbursement of salary and
employee benefits paid in
accordance with current Board'
salary schedule or agreements.
Such nominations must be
received at the DND
headquarters not later than
November 30 of this year.
In other business at Monday's
meeting the Board agreed to
admit Michael Elmslie to the
Kindergarten of Wingham Public
School on the recommendation of
the Regional Center for the
Hearing Handicapped Roberts
School at London even though the
youngster was only four years of
age.
It was• the opinion of the
Roberts officlals that if 'the child
could spend two years in
Kindergarten it would not be
necessary to remove him from the'
home to a residential placement
at the Roberts School.
The opportunity for him to
interact with hearing ,children and
to be exposed to normal speech
and language patterns for two
years prior to entry into Grade one
should enable him to compensate
to a large degree for hearing .
loss, the board learned.
Support staff from the Roberts
School will visit the Wingham
School periodically to assist with
--the child's program.
A similar request involving
a child from the Walton area was
granted by the Board in February
of 1975.
Board members also voted on
Monday to endorse a request for
support from the Ontario Energy
Management Program that the
Board support Energy
conservation week (between
October 31 and November 6) and
that the' school principals
encourage .student participation
ening those lines.
Minister of Energy, Dennis R.
Timbre!l noted in a letter to the
board that "My, colleague, the
Honorable Tom Wells, aidl are
asking for your support for
Energy Conservation Week. I am
writing to school principals to ask
taht they stimulate student
awareness and participation in
bnergy conservation projects,
particularly during Energy
Conservation Week. Your
encouragement of these efforts
will be valuable in assisting this
public priority."
