John Vintar spoke to the ustees on public 'relations, ressing the necessity of laintaining public relations, He ffered some suggestions for irther improvement in mrimunication. Mr. Vintar stated that the rincipals' association has been evolved at the staff level in an dvisory capacity - the rincipals meet monthly and are eformed of board decisions and notions which affect their chools. The principals are then .xpected to pass this nformation to their respective taffs. Also, the principals are nvolved in the formation of olicies prior to their )resentation to the bard by the administration. Too, a committee of principals makes recommendations regarding budget items which are• considered during the preparation of the annual budget. It is believed this approach allows for an equitable disbursement of funds according to the needs of the schools. This approach was initiated because Mr. Vintar believes it is necessary to involve the schools more intimately in the decision making process. He pointed out the administration and consultants are called upon to speak to numerous groups of interested Hensall BY MRS. MAUDE HEDDEN KITCHEN TECHNOLOGY Technology is changing the kitchen just as much as the factory, says the Industrial Accident Prevention Association. As part of their annual January Safety drive, I.A.P.A. is asking Ontario's one-million employees and their families to watch out for safety hazards at home as carefully as they do at work. Make sure you read the instructions on all the gadgets you use at home; keep medicines and cleaning materials tightly sealed when.not in use, and keep them out of the reach of children. It's up to you to live safely. Remember: you are the key to safety, LIFTING CORRECTLY Next time you lift something, stop and ask yourself if you're doing it the right way, suggests the Industrial Accident Prevention Association. As part of their annual January safety drive, the LA.P.A. is asking everyone to take special care this month to avoid accidents. Back injuries, they point out, caused about 26 percent of all compensable injuries last year. Play your part by lifting the right way: back straight, knees bent, Remember, YOU are the key to safety, parents. These meetings allow for a two-way communication in which the aspirations of the local school community are recognized and the direction in which the board is moving is made known, In addition, schools are encouraged to invite the public on numerous occasions to attend activities such as open house, school fairs, concerts, sport activities and class projects related to school curriculum. Mr. Vintar suggested board members might wish to speak to various groups within the school community to keep the ratepayers abreast 'of board developments. He pointed out that in light of the desirability of maintaining open lines of communication some consideration might be given to the invitation to a board meeting of representation from organizations such as Catholic parent Teacher Associations, Ontario English-Catholic Teachers Association and Perth-Huron Deanery. This, occasion would enable the representatives to indicate to the board the aspirations or the hopes of the groups they represent. Mr. Vintar stated that plans are underway for the printing of a newsletter which will be distributed three times annually to the ratepayers within the two counties. The newsletter will contain information concerning sports activities, excursions, special programs, research projects, program development and other special events which are carried on within the schools.
