The Massey-Ferguson Ski• Whiz. It's more fun because the seat is longer, softer, more comfortable. More fun be- cause of its stability and low center of graVity. Because you can adjust skis and track to snow conditions. Because Ski Whiz is built with the same ruggedness MF puts into its big machines. Come in and look over MF's Ski Whiz. Find out how easy it is to own.

Also addressing the group was Donald Keeping, Director of the Blind Programming Course at the University of Manitoba. Mr. Keeping (blind himself) reported that at present graduates of this course are rated extremely high. But he said competition is becoming keener in this field so that employment officers must be more selective in choosing candidateg for the course. The conference was designed to assist the blind employment' officers in their job of contacting industrial plants, selling blind persons to the company and providing on the job training. Through their combined efforts, some 2,000 blind people are employed coast to coast. !!./ !P Editor's Note: Mr. and Mrs. „red Sloman of Clinton read *Ah interest the following Canadian Press dispatch about :story'. hpre for those • of our readers who did not see , it in the daily press or who may not have thaliz,ed it concerned a former Clinton resident.

Gone are the days when the majority of parents are out to have a go at the teacher or to criticize the running of a school. It is of mutual benefit for teachers and parents to get together to discuss the ways in which the teachers' job can be made easier and to inform the parent of all the new advances which are presently coming our way in the field of education. More thanplf our population is •under 2'1 :Aars of age and therefore in some formal school of learning. One-third of our tax dollar goes to education. Let us, therefore, come together in January, to study the "Aims and Objects of Education" as so ably put forward in the publication of that name by Lloyd Dennis. If we take a serious and intelligent attitude to produce constructive ideas which will benefit not only the individual child but all children in the county, the board of education may have some idea of the policy it should form for the next few years. When you receive your notice from the school to come and attend a meeting to discuss the needs of your particular school, I urge every parent, and not only the mothers, to take an interest in these meetings. The children of today will be the leaders of tomorrow and it will depend upon the job that we can do of educating them, what they can make of the world when it is their turn to lead. Mrs. Archie Couper, President, Perth-Huron Council of Home & School Assns., Hensall, Dec. 15. Blind people are lucky! According to B. D. Beamish, President of B. D. Beamish Automation, Cooksville, Ontario, they're lucky because the automation revolution is very much in their favour. Electronic devices, until now only dreams, are slowly taking shape. Instruments such as the visual prosthesis which will bypass the eyes and introduce light into the brain, or the machine to translate the printed page into sound are now in the experimental stage. Mr. Beamish further pointed out that in this era of mechanization, the transistor has really come into its own. He believes intelligent blind persons, following tactile symbols and memorizing the patterns, could work in the assembly of transistor circuits. Mr. Beamish spoke at the recent conference of CNIB Blind people are lucky! 18 months. "For us this is a big adventure and the most fun is that we are going as a family," Dr. Elizabeth said. The University of East Africa will supply the Hillmans with a furnished house that is completely staffed. Even the youngest of the children, age five, will attend school regularly. The youngsters' schooling will begin in January and will include Swahili. The parents know a smattering of the African language and they hope to add to their vocabulary during a brief holiday in the Canary Islands before going on to Africa. The Hillman children are looking forward to swimming pools and the abundant Kenyan game parks. Both parents feel the experience will add immeasurably to their total educational experience. But the "big adventure" will entail some sacrifices for the parents. "We will lack much of the lab equipment we have here as well as technological and visual aids," Dr. Elizabeth said. We will have to go back to basic teaching - one teaching doctor with three or four students - and this will be good," Major medical problems in Kenya are not the various tropical diseases-which have been effectively checked--but infections and malnutrition. To the editor: Through a directive from the administrative staff of the Huron County Board of Education, the people of Huron County are being given an opportunity to meet with the teaching staff of their local school to discuss the aims and objects of education and a list of some twenty different , topics has been prepared by the principals as ,possible subjects fer djsegsslont. Having been' Closely radfired with schools and the education of children for the past fifteen years, I realize that this is an occasion for which those persons vitally concerned with the development of the full potential of all children, have long been awaiting. For years children have been ' attending smaller schools, taught by teachers and run by local school boards with whom the parents were in close contact. The advent of the county board has made the individual contact with parents a thing of the past - it would seem that no one now knows what is taking place in these seats of learning. But the day has long since gone when parents can cease to be concerned. The Home & School Association is the one existing organization which can bridge the gaps and the Department of Education readily recognizes this and has encouraged' the establishment of communication with boards of education by the Home and School Council and is also anxious for the closer relationship between the parent and the teacher which takes place when there is a Home & School Association connected with a school.
