Staff polled the teachers last 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.

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 recbgnizaing contribution Made Special service First Presbyterian Church was crowded Sunday morning. Northside United and Egmondville United -Churches joined in a special communion service. The pulpit was shated by the Ministers of the three churches Rev. E.G. Nelson, Rev. M.E. Reuber and Rev. Robt Roberts and representatives of each of the congregations served communion. During the service Mr. and Mrs, James A. Stewart sang a duet "1 walked today where Jesus walked." by volunteers. It would sponsor or stimulate sponsorship of educational programs related to citizen participation in egency services and to present' specialized training programs, she says: 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.

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."
