Upper School Marks Withbef d
SOME: CLINTON and :area resi,
dents were perturbed last week when
the News -Record did not carry a con-
plete li;3ting of the Grade 1-3 examin-
ation results from Central' Hurn. Sec-
ondary
ec-
ond ary School, Actually, this Should
not have been, a surprise,
The April 22 issue of the News-
Record
ews Record ran a story •coming out of CH'S;,
Board meeting wherein it was noted
that DHSS principal at that time, John.
Cochrane, was • whole heartedly ]•n
favnnr" of a suggestion from the Sec-
onday School Headmasters of Ontario
that .examination results should not be
published in newspapers.
The reason for the decision, also
noted in the story. was that typograph-
ical errors on the part of the news-
papers • often caused deep concern to
students, parents and teachers and that
commotion at the school could be a-
voided simply by eradication of the
newspaper report.
The decision then. was to release
to .the press only the names .and marks
of students at CHSS who had earned
scholarships' or \special awards.
It is difficult to assess, the worth
of this Move on the part :of the officials, '
Qn the one hand, it seems that since
the public' foots the steadily mounting
bills for education,it should have the
eight to judge from get'lerally relia�ile .
figures `printed in the newspaper' just
how well students and staff' :at the
school have "blended" during the year..
Qll the other hand, it May be just
as well for .the . school .to. protect its
-graduates ,from tthe critical comparison
of marks that inevitably goes on among
newspaPer reader' who have little real
knowledge of thestudents and their
,abil>ties,
There , is one area, though,' that
perhaps was overlooked by the Board
and former Principal John Cochrane , ,
indeed by nearly every school,
elementary .and • secondary, in the dist
trict. If schools are going to' withdraw ;
into a secret world shated only by
teachers, students and parents, they
will have to ;be prepared as well for .a
new wave of misunderstanding, Iritis
ism and rebellion . from taxpayers —
however insignificant they znay seem
to educationalists who deserve. to
know what is really happening!
Constructive ' Help For A Gro y ing, Problem
A WORD of praise must be issued
to the Ontario
Department of Econ
p
omics and Development where Stanley
J. Randall" is the chief. . It was here
in 1963 that the Ontario Development
Agency had its birth and it is about
time "local businessnien were made
aware of its existence.
The ODA is a programof free con-
sultation' to operators:" of small busin-
esses in Ontario in the belief that the
continued growth ofalready established
industries' -is as important, if not more -
so, ,than the attraction of new business.
Under the scheme, ;skilled business
consultants will counsel individuals and
companies' on : a wide variety of mana-
gerial, 'technical and financial matters:
pertaining to small businesses. 'In the
two . years since its organization, the
ODA has reviewed many hundreds of
balance sheets. and ;operating ,state-
ments of small concerns in Ontario, as-
sisted some of their 3,000 clients to
more efficient accounting systems and
financial controls and lead others, to
improved plant layouts, production
processes and other valuable changes.
"As a result of their experience,"
says . the Agency's booklet, entitled
"Does Your Business Need A Check-
up?" and distributed free to Ontario
businessmen, "it has become obvious
that far too many b:iisinesses are.failing,
are:in.serious difficulties, or are earning
less 'th'an they should, simply because .
they are not conducting their affairs
in a businesslike manner."
.Reeve Duff Thompson .brought the
ODA's ..offer before a recent meeting of
Clinton 'Town Council. He suggested ,
that since small business employs con-
siderable persons, the Agency's plan
could be important to the welfare of
present employees. and to creation of
new job opportunities so coveted in
most progressive communities.
We agree that a series of business
checkups throughout the area might
accomplish as much in a shorter time
' than the present trend to seek out new
— often reluctant — industrial con-
cerns.
One Final Warning•
Of :CANADA'S seven major holi-
days,
the Labour Day weekend is well
.in the lead as creator' of death on the
•highways reports the Canadian High-
way Safety Council. In fact, said CHSC,.
the working man, whose day it is, is
being pushed .. into the background by
the road victims in the general public's
view of the holiday. '
The average number of road fa-
talities on Labour Day weekend in Can-
ada is 61. Other holidays have averages
below that. They includes' 25 for New
Year's (the least) ; 35 for Easter,- 42 for
Victoria Day, 45 for Dominion Day, 50
for Christmas, 52 for• Thanksgiving:
• Majorcauses, . CHSC claimed, are
the urge for dominance, the urge for
speed, reluctance to "give in" to, the
other driver, failure to make use of
driving procedures and car features de-
signed" to help avoid ix ishaps, and lack
of attention, to the simple .signs ,that
warn of potential peril.
We exhort every driver to stay
alert and alive!
Good To See
IT IS GOOD to see that a coat'
of
' sparkly white paint is being applied
to the woodwork of Clinton Public, Li-
brary. • For too long, the red brick, book -
filled 'building has been drab and un-
interesting, from the outside at least,
and has made an almost 'dismal .back-
drop for the park at its entrance.,
Now, the Library is again restored
to its full stature as one of Clinton's
loveliest landmarks. Former sons. and
daughters as well• as present residents
thank those responsible for their time
and attention to this worthy project
Wh Not A Map ... 'O f Clinton?
Y
A NEWSPAPER office is besieged
with all sorts of requests some
strange, others not so strange.
Reports from the front desk at the.
News -Record office indicate after the
two-month vacation 'period that many
travellers are seeking a map of Clinton.
Apparently there is not one to be had
in the whole of ibhis prosperous town.
Perhaps the Clinton Chamber of
Commerce would liketo' rectify this
• situation. A worthwhile fall 'and winter
project would 'be to compile an up-to-
date map of the "Hub of Huron County"
and have it printed for distribution
newt spring and summer to tourists and
new residents.

The Bible Today
A. 'gllimpse into what is in-
volved lbehIin!d the Sceneis" in
translating the. Bible is provid-
ed by a brief report by a tear n
of missionary translators and
national assistants who recent- `
ly
commenced Work on a revis-
ion of the Babuia New Testa-
ment, rin West Africa: •
First, :some basic biblical
tenons 'triad to be discussed
Which might be rendered more
adequately by otherBaoula
word's. It has been discovered,
for example, that the ward
'holy" which has no direct e-
quivalent in Baoliva, had been •
rendered' by a word meaning
"white." But it was not the nor-
mal word for "white" being
applied only to such things ars
chicken, sheep; stone, with no
significance when applied to
persons. A further difficulty,
pointed out by the Africans,
which the original translators
could not have ` realized, was
that the word for "graice" can .
Cady be used far prise or
thanks to soaneone Who has
done something for us. Thus
the "Grace of God" fer many
meant that Gad owed us some-
thiaig or other (nobody knew
quite what), and as a means
Of expressing his thanks to us
Hesaved us.
These are the types of errors
which translators have to dis-
cover by''patient probing, check-
ing, questioning, in `order to
produce an accurate yet com-
preihensible, tx ansiatibn of the
Good News. Behind tihe stories
of the new releases, the dis-
tribution campaigns, the work
of colpo¢iteurs and Bible depots,
lies the painstaking, devoted la-
bour of some 3,000 suoh tr'ans-
lattoats all over the world.
