Town clerk John, Livermore said the old truck was in good condition and could be used for fighting fires in the town where there are hydrants near by. "Bet the 19.year.old truck Isn't heavy enough for the back roads and fields and has the equivalent of a three horse. power motor for pumping water, And, what happens if there is a fixe in town when the truck is out in one of the townships?" he asked, Council as yet does not know when a truck could be pure chased.

Children today are familiar with the many audiovisual dee vices available for teaching but there are too few teachers train. ed in their use, said Arnold Mathers, principal of Huron Centennial School. It is for this reason the On. taxi.° Department of Education and Huron County School' Area 1 is sponsoring an audiovisual course • for 127 teachers from 22 school boards in the sur. rounding areas. The course, which the depart. ment asked Mr. Mathers to organize, has been going strong for four hours every Tuesday night since October 3. It in. eludes study of classrooni, the use of tape recorders, 16 mill. imetre projectors, overhead projectors, filmstrip project. television sets, opaque project. ors, television sets, opaque pro• jectors, tape recorders, record papers and mounted pictures. The course even gees into the proper use of such everyday communication aids as bulletin boards, puppetry, posters and even field trips. Tuesday April 9 the teachers' put on display some of the Brownies ready to start again Students and teachers working to set stage' for "Brigadoon" Streets, sweeper both dust y most modern equipment even., able in an open house at Huron school. Much of the equipment will be of the type in daily use by the school and some 'will be put on special exhibit by the manufacturers.' "Schools are just now acquir. ing audiovisual equipment and the teachers mast know how to use it," Mr. Mathers said. His school couldwell be taken as a model in the use of the special equipment at the prim., axy level. "Most of our equip. ment is used an average of about 10 times per week," • he said. To prove his • point Mr. Mathers shows eight charts on ,the wall of the school's equip. ment storage room. Each re. presents a one piece of equi• ment and the scribbles whin overflow 'each allotted space are teachers' reservations for the equipment at a particular time. In recruiting instructors for the course Mr. Mathers man. aged to recruit some of the best audio-visual experts in Ontario education. These include, Mr. Stan Beisel, an audio-visual master at 'Stratford teachers college, Ron Eyre, Seaforth public school, John Macdonald, audio. visual consultant, Stratford board of education, Mr. Car. men Nixon, vice principal of London public school, and Mrs. Robert Westlake, Huron Ceti. tennial School. Mr. Mathers has also ar. ranged for a number of guest lecturers to appear. The, course should result in more and better use of the equipment,which is available in many of the schools in this area, Mr. Mathers said. • Caged canines cause comment Consensus among town coun. cillors Monday night was that the number of dogs running lose has decreased drastically since council decided to negotiate with London for a dog catcher ser. vice.
