LIMITED PACK E. Mickle & Son HENSALL Since it is nearing the end of the school year I decided to ask the students if they had any suggestions to improve our school for next year. The ans- wers were varied and all could be used. Sharon Sanders (11E): I be- lieve that a Drivers' Training Course would be a valuable asset. It might change adult views on teen-age drivers if they knew the teen was learning correctly. If you are taught by your parents you might learn all their bad faults too. This way you would be a safer and more careful driver. Also some teens do not get a chance to learn at home. John Pryde (11C): Our Ac- tivity periods should be better organized.

Area cabinet ministers featured on WO panel different activities for the vex.: bops personalities. Some snit, dents are always doing home- Werk in activity periods since there is nothing they would like to do and others are always at- tending an activity. There should be more sports. The. Drivers' Training Course is also a good idea. Shirley Genttner (12A): There should be more noon hour ac- tivities since many students have nothing to do but walk up and down the halls. These ac- tivities should be continued dur- ing the entire school year and not only for a few months. We might have such things as a hootenany or films. Apsemblies should be held once a week with different speakers and films. During the basketball and foot- ball seasons these could be, come pep rallies, since there was little school spirit display- ed this year as compared to last year. Joy Seldon (9D): School jack- ets should be for everyone and not just for team members. Those on teams could have crests to set them apart. Arthur Horrell (12B): A mo- nitor system should be intro- duced. This has proven itself quite successful in many American and Canadian Schools. Students would take turns patrolling the halls at noon hour to make sure every- one behaved, stayed in lines and didn't throw rubbish in the halls. They would also be in charge of noon hour activities. Students would have some au- thority and would have a chance to prove themselves. We should have a debating club. Bob Storie (11A-G): The cafe- teria is overcrowded and should be enlarged. No one should have to stand when they are eating. Win he sea By MRS. WM.

The Huron MPP reiterated his view that use of a number instead of a name for a highway such as 401 is "unromantic" but said no decision will be made on the name-versus-num- ber issue until the route is complete. He indicated that if a name is ultimately chosen it would not be that of a living person. The name of the former Pre- mier of Ontario, Leslie Frost, has been suggested in connec- tion with a name honoring some noted person. Questions about the Canada Pension Plan dominated most of the discussion. Premier Robarts indicated in his address that Ontario's objections have been met and that they will join in a federal plan. Mr. Diefenbaker however said that pension plans still re- quired considerable examina- tion.

Sales of Ontario chicken amounted to 6 tons of cooked poultry cut up in 2 1/2 ounce slices or in whole carcasses of 2 1/2 pounds plain or barbe- cued.

FARMERS Agriculture Minister Wm. A. Stewart says that Ontario's par- ticipation in Britain' s Ideal Home Show held in London last month proved conclusively that Ontario has a broad line of su- perior food products that are rapidly growing in popularity in the United Kingdom. Stewart said that this year's exhibit was the third large- scale export food promotion to be sponsored by the Ontario Dep't of Agriculture. Seventeen leading food processing com- panies in the province co-oper- ated with the government, as- suming responsibility for the promotion under its program of widening markets for Ontario farm products. "When one considers that over 65 percent or over $2,- 000,000. of Canada's $3,000,000 production of fruit and vege- tables are grown and packed in Ontario, the importance of such promotion is evident," said Stewart. "Judging from the number of British housewives who made repeat visits to the Ontario stand and requested the names of stores where Ontario food products could be obtained the response was most favorable. Of particular interest was the eager acceptance of whole and cut-up cooked and frozen chick- en. Definite export possibilities for this product are now as- sured."
