Set Up At R OBERT HUNTER Central Huron Secondary School By ROBERT HUNTER, B.A.„ Guidance Counsellor RICHARD HARLAND and RICHARD FIARLAND, Technical Director Speaking of cold weather, may we remind our readers again about the increased dang- er of fire during these crisp January days. Houses become hot and dry and heating sys- tems are taxed to the utmost. It's a good idea to make sure the heating equipment is work- ing properly. Also, keep match- es out of the way of children. Many a fire was started in- nocently by a curious young- ster playing with matches. These are perhaps obvious things but it does pay to re- mind ourselves about them. And finally, be sure to write the telephone number of your Fire Department in the front of your telephone directory and make sure everyone, including the baby-sitter, knows where it is. In the event of fire, phone the Fire Department im- mediately—every second counts! by W. W. Hays om your telephone manager LL purchased. In the Carpentry Shop, for instance, we will have a radial arm saw; 2-12"x36" wood turning lathes; a 12" til- ting arbor saw; a 24"x9" heavy duty planer; a 24" band saw; a 12" jointer; a 16" disc and belt sander; a hollow chisel mortiser, etc, etc. The Machine Shop will have ten modern metal turning lath- es of the most modern design, 3 milling machines, 3 shapers, a surface grinder, a tool and cutter grinder, 1 electro-mech- anical universal precision grind- ing machine, etc., etc. A special adjoining room will be equipped with furnaces for the tempering of steel compon- ents. The Auto Shop will be equip- ped with all modern electrical diagnostic equipment in addi- tion to the usual hoist and standard modern items. A sys- tem of underfloor exhaust ducts will keep the air free from car exhaust fumes. Diesel equipment will be included and the large double overhead doors will allow even a combine to enter. The Electricity Shop, equip- ped with over 5,000 items for efficient instruction, will be one of the most modern electricity teaching areas on this contin- ent. In addition to the three large motor generating units, instruc- tor controlled current at all student stations and an in-built system of safety shut-off but- tons always within easy reach of the instructor, ' one end of the room will be in the form of a two-storey house. It will be here that students will learn and practise house wir- ing. An Electronics Laboratory will be an important feature in this area, alsO. The Drafting Room will also be a fully equipped area and will possess modern drafting machines as well as fully auto- matic blueprint machine for the production of the drawings re- quired by the other shops. In the Girls' Occupational Room will be as many special areas and sets of equipment as possible to fit the limitat- ions of the room and the var- iety of courses to be offered to the special group for which it is intended. Here are a few of the facili- ties: hairdressing salon, small store, store window for dis- plays, small restaurant, short order counter, nurses' aid train- ing centre, household electricity centre, etc., etc. The Boys' Occupations Room is also well-equipped and some idea of the diversifigation of subjects can be gained by a brief look at the facilities in this special room. Here is a partial listing: electric arc welding booths and machines, masonry training area, wrought iron area, cab- inet making, small engine re- pair, upholstering area, shoe re- pair machinery, type setting apparatus and a printing press, photography dark room, sign- painting area, commercial art area, etc., etc. Modern facilities for the tea- ching of commercial skills take up a large portion of the two- storey section of the new school addition. Students registered in the Business and Commerce Branch will have available three typewriting classrooms. In addition, a business ma- chines room will provide train- ing on many of the types of office machines currently in use in business and industry of the Central Huron area. Students will be assigned to each machine for a sufficient time to allow them to become highly proficient in its use and maintenance. Spirit and ink duplicators, photocopy equip- ment, an electronic stencil cutter, dictating equipment, bookkeeping machines, adding machines and calculators will be provided. A model office is being con- structed in one classroom, com- plete with counter, reception area, secretarial desks, filing cabinets, electric typewriters, duplicating and dictating equip- ment, and even an inner office for the "boss", in this case the Head of the Commercial Dep- artment. Senior students will be as- signed to this office on a rota- tion basis so they may prac- tise their skills in a realistic setting. To compliment the special facilities, a number of stand- ard classrooms are being pro- vided for the teaching of Econ- omics, Basic Bookkeeping, Ac- countancy, Business Organiza- tion and Management, Short- hand, and other commercial skills. It will be recognized from the foregoing incomplete de- scription that, in addition to our usual academic activities, we are going to be in a posi- tion to offer complete, effici- ent and varied courses to our young people of Central Huron. 'Information covering the types of courses to be offered will be described in the next article of this series.

The revelation came in the form of a letter that pointed out they would have to sign an agreement with the Atomic Resources Commission for the use of radio active material in the school. While t h e members didn't have any inkling of the mean- ing of the letter, principal D. John Cochrane explained that the new fire alarm system con- tained radio active materials. He said the system was set up so it would be activated if the temperature reached a certain temperature and one of the components in the modern system was radio active. a Hunting Pictures On 0041X-TV This Friday night, January 18 hunters and TV fans will be interested in watching the Great Outdoors, on CKNX-TV, 10.30 p.m., when Mr. and Mrs. Ellwood Epps will be on the air, showing pictures taken on hunting trips, and talking a- bout their adventures.

BENTLEY PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT Goderich, Ontario Telephone Box JA 4-9521 478 It is apparent, from local conversations, that a great number of interested people are uncertain in their minds con- cerning the kind of school we will be opening at Clinton next September. These articles are an effort to explain and de- scribe this new school program. Taking advantage of the Clinton News-Record's very kind co-operation, we will at- tempt to describe the new school itself and',, later the typ- es of students we will cater for and the kinds of subjects we will be offering and then a description of the job opportun- ities and the opportunities for further education and training to which these courses will lead. One of the most commonly heard criticisms of our educa- tional system in the past has been that the secondary school courses have been designed as steps leading to one main des- tination only—university. This, it has been argued, is very unfair to the 90 percent of young people who, for vary, ing reasons, do not reach uni- versity. More and more responsible citizens have perceived the justification of this criticism and have worked hard to the end that more of our youngst- ers will be given the special help and training needed to fit them for a fast changing world. These efforts have succeeded so far, and here in Central Hur- on we are currently, building a huge addition to the old Clinton District Collegiate Institute to house the up-to-date and com- plex equipment essential to a modern Academic, Technical and Commercial , school. What will the school be like? Well, in addition to our 26 existing classrooms and labora- tories, 16 ultra-modern class- rooms are being built including eight special commercial sub- ject rooms and two laborator- ies On the north side, four huge shops are in process of erec- tion. The area covered by each may surprise you. Here is a listing: Carpentry Shop, 3,025 square feet; Machine Shop. 2,225 square feet; Auto Mechanics Shop, 3,130 square feet; Elec- tricity Shop, 2,360 square feet. A new gymnasium is in this area, measuring 70 ft. by 45 ft. and a bright new cafeteria, 50 ft. by 80 ft. adjoins. The new Drafting Room is housed in the classroom wing and a 2,000 square feet Welding and Sheet Metal Shop will be the result of extensive renovations to the existing Industrial Arts (Met- al) Shop. Two Diversified Occupational Training areas, one of 1,320 square feet for girls and one 2,400 for boys are currently be- ing built within the framework of the existing building. What about equipment? Only the very best has been TEACHERS TO MEET TUESDAY, JANUARY 22 The monthly meeting of Clin- ton Federated Women Teachers Association. of Ontario will be held in Clinton Public School on Tuesday, January 22 at 8 p.m, Program and lunch are in the charge of Miss Edythe Beacom and Mrs. C.
