Continued ' high’ production
‘levels in most area plants
• accentuated the demand for
all types of unskilled and
semi-skilled workers. Increas
ed volume of “big construc
tion jobs” across Huron
■County, also created a high
demand for skilled trades

of discussion.
It was the consensus that
there are still many situations
where good teaching is serious
ly hampered ’by lack of facili
ties, too- large classes, and too
great a variety of subjects and
classes per teacher.
Further efforts are to be
made to, improve such situa
tions so that students, in all
areas of the province will have
reasonably, equal opportuni
ties to enjoy the benefits of
good teaching and good schooil'
facilities.
