HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1970-04-23, Page 2LETTER TO THE EDITOR The editor Because April 1,9 to 25 is Childiell's Aid Week throughout Ontario, I thought you might be interested in the enclosed true story Written by a member of -our staff. It is written as, though A child were talking to You. We . have provided calendars for Huron County Churches to use Sunday, April 19 (leaving, the inside for, their own order of service and announcements). We hope the people of the county will be interested in the information on the back of the calendar, I would also be pleased to hear comments on Anna Meyer's interviewing me on television Tuesday, April 14, 1970. We appreciate her graciousness, We thank the people of Huron County for their interest arid loyalty, and wish them happiness and success. Sincerely, (Miss) Clare McGowan, Local Director. A Plea I am a little child. I am two years old, So far my life has not been much fun. My' parents are having a hard time right now. My Daddy does not have a job and there isn't enough money to go around. My Mommy's nerves are bad and she sometimes hits me hard. I have bruiRs on my body Where she hit me yesterday, This hurts me And I erY very hard. sometimes get hit for crYlog. I love her and I cannot understaod why she hits me. I really think she lye me, Several People know what's going on. Some of my "friends" /MOW, Some of my relatives The other daY my 'neighbour saw' her bit Me. Oh hour I wish he would have helped me! „ Instead he just went in the house, If he Would only tell someone who would help My Mommy to be More underStanding. I want my Mommy to love me. Why didn't he help? I guess he doesn't understand. He wants to mind his own business and not become involved! He doesn't know that if he reports on Mammy that it will be kept confidential. He doesn't know .that if he reports it that someone will come and try to help Mommy and work with her so that I can keep on living here without being beate,n and abused. He doesn't know the guilt he will feel if something very serious happens to me, It will be partly his fault. I can't tell. Even if I could talk I couldn't tell. Surely my sad eyes, crying, and my bruises say enough! Why do I have to live or die like this? Why won't someone help? The Editor, We, the Prefect Council of C.H.S.S. are slightly disturbed by the reaction of various Clinton Citizens on the problem of litter and loitering which is carried on by a minority of students over an area which stretches from our High School to the local "billiard hall". We would like to make a few suggestions which, we 'hope, would, help to clear up these problems. First, the problem of litter consisting • of bags, wrappers, cigarette butts, etc., could be partially remedied by placing garbage cans on various corners near the schoOl. Perhaps if one of the fine service clubs of our town could provide these cans, they would be used by the students. At present, the C.H.SS. Students' Council is placing trash cans on the school property, Secondly, we would like to ..the.'co-operation ,-.of the .Vlintori • Police:' Force in patrolling the high school area during lunch hours. The students are in constant danger of the speeding cars which frequent the school each day at lunch hour and we feel the need, to have protection from these drivers. Finally, the students feel that if the service clubs of our town and the Clinton Police Force co-operate with the students and administration of C.H.S.S., this problem of loitering and littering can be eased with little difficulty. We are fully aware that the majority of students are proud of their school and would try with their, best effort to better the name of C.H.S.S. We hope that- with co-operation between the town and the school we can find a way to ease these problems in such a way that the results will be an advantage to all. C.H.S.S. Prefect Council New surface stops accidents A spray-on anti-skid road surface, being tried experimentally in London, England, is proving so successful that it has cut pedestrian crossing accidents by 87 per cent at 20 uncontrolled crossings. Wet road accidents at treated junctions have been cut by 72 per cent; rear=end collisions by 73 per cent and accidents where the driver lost control are down by 70 per •cent, says British Leyland whose engineers are working in conjunction with Scotland' Yard and ,British Highway officialS. The anti-skid surface is an epoxy resin with calcined bauxite chippings sprayed for 200 feet along approaches to junctions and 40 feet on each side of pedestrian crossings. No major road work is necessary and spraying is done quickly at night without disturbing the, existing road surface, says Scotland Yard who are so delighted with initial results that mare pedestrian crossings are being treated. The anti-skid surface gives drivers much better road adhesion and superb braking efficiency.

She indicated that the teacher's aides appeared to have more duties than the teachers. Dan Murphy, Goderieh, reminded Mrs. Kunder and the board that Mr. Mathers had not listed the teacher's duties but rather the things which a teacher's aide must not attempt. John Cochrane, director of education, said there were only two teacher's aides in the coutty, both at Huron Centennial School. These teacher's aides had been inherited by the present board from the previous board, and at the present time, the teacher's aide system is not a county-wide solution to the heavy workload some teachers have in the juniot grades.
