F. assembled in Listowel Dist- rict Secondary School on Satur day to discuss matters of con- cern arising from the changes which have taken place this year. Most significant of these is the absence of external final exam- inations set by the Department of Education. Under the new sys- tem all final marks will come from the school which the student attends. Jim Davies, of Barton Second- ary School, Hamilton, speaking on behalf of the Ontario Second- ary Education Commission who sponsored the Workshop, pointed out that the change places heavy responsibilities on the Grade 13 teachers. The Workshop is an at- tempt to provide an opportunity to discuss the new problems and to exchange information which geologists delivered to Fort Wil- liam in the winter wilderness. The propellers of both planes were smashed in one landing and the men took oak and birch planks and glue made from the hide and hoofs of a moose to fabricate new ones. While one of the planes crashed on take-off, Mr. Fullerton was able to get off the ice and con- cluded the trip. The two home-made propellors are now in the Aeronautical Mu- seum maintained by the National Research council in Ottawa. Author of the book, Frank II. Ellis, comments that the two propellers "mark an epic ad- venture in the north, and remind all who see them that the re- sourcefulness of our airmen is a heritage of which all Canadians may well be proud": Mr. Fullerton will be well re- membered by many area resid- ents from his stay at Centralia.. His wife too was active in the community, especially in'the ad, tivities of T r IV i t t Memorial Church. Area group aid retarded At the annual meeting of the Petrolia and District Atsociation for Retarded Children, a cheque for $300 was presented by the Order of Alhambra AlgarVaCar- avan No. 168 of Grand Bend, Parkhill, Forest and Mt. Carmel. At a previous meeting between these two organizations, held to deterniine how the Order Of Al., hanibra could assist, the them- bers of the Order Were partic-,, uIarly Impre's'sed with the fact that in spite of the Many Obli- gations of the Associations,' they endeavaired to ,Send the Children to Camp Bellwood fora three- week period each summer, Huron County councillor Clif- ford Dunbar of Grey Township termed the coming county assessing system as a "tragic increase" representing one and one-third mills - or $100,000 to the taxpayers. Reeve Dunbar was speaking at the Tuesday after- noon session of council in God- erich last week. Chairman Roy Pattison of the equalization committee reported that his committee will advertise for a commissioner qualified to oversee the county assessing operation. He added that a full report will be available at the June session of county council. may be valuable and timely, The speaker for the occasion, Ian G. McHaffie, pointed out a number of the thorny issues re- sulting from the changes this year. One of these is the prob- lem of continuing to keep all grade 13 classes across the pro- vince at an equivalent level in standards. Another concerns the new ef- fort to teach for "fire-kindling" rather then "mind-stocking". This approach is an answer to the former criticism that Grade 13 teaching was focused on pass- ing the final all-important June examinations. Still another in- quiry was, "Has the amount of homework in Grade 13 been re- duced?" Mr. McHaffie, an Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum with the Department of Educa- tion, carried on a discussion of these issues before turning them over to subject discussion groups which took up the balance of the day. Members attending from SHDHS were J. L. Wooden, prin- cipal, Mrs. M. Park, Mrs. M. Farrow, Mrs. C. Wilson and Messrs. D. L. Little, G. F. Mc- Cauley, V. Elliott, B. D. Perry, M. E. Edgar, D. Solomon, W. J. Hogan and B. Shaw. Lucan Rec News iiiiiiiiiiiii iii iiiiiiiiii niiintt By J. E.

Though speculation has it that the new assessing system will cost in excess of $100,000 an- nually, Chairman Pattison, reeve of East Wawanosh believes it is a "good idea which will bring us up to standard with the On- tario assessment commission". He suggested that if council wants economy it will have to pay for it. Pattison added that it has been the experience of some mun- icipalities that the cost of assess- ing has been offset by the collect- ion of taxes which through neglect or ignorance had never before been billed. Hayfield reeve Frank McFad- den said that the 1966 assessment bill was $38,000 and in 1967 it had been estimated that the new system would cost approximately $80,000 per year. By MRS. W.

SHDHS enjoyed a day at London Teach- ers' College on Monday of this week. The students were divided into five groups, each with a leader, We spent the day obserV- ing various classes which were in progress. The students had just returned to classes after teaching for a week in different elementary schools in the area. As a result, we were able to listen inonmany experiences which the students related. The Teachers' College is about five years old, very modern, and beautiful. Courses taken include sociology, religion, French, music, art, audio-visual, lang- uage, math, and many others. I'm certain that all of us en"- joyed the day spent at the col- lege; it was both enjoyable and educational. The "At Home" has been plan- ned for May 3 and the decorating committees are busily at work, preparing decorations to comple- ment the theme of the formal— "The Mardi Gras". Miss Meredith pudney, a stu- dent at Central Secondary School in London, spoke to Grade 13 students on Tuesday of this week, about "The Experiment in Inter- national Living". This experi- ment is an agency affiliated with UNESCO, a branch of the United Nations. The experiment's pur- pose is to totally immerse a person in the culture of another country. Miss Pudney spent five weeks in Strasbourg, Northern France, last summer. She showed some beautiful slides of the country and its peoples and accompanied this with a very interesting talk. The ambassadors, as the stu- dent representatives are called, took part in an orientation pro- cess, in Toronto, before they departed for France. The experi- ment involves a four week home stay with a French family in Strasbourg. Miss Pudney stated that this aspect of the program was the essence of the entire experiment. J. T. McCauley introduced Miss Pudney and gave additional information about the experi- ment. The entire cost of the experiment to the student ambas- sador is $400. Bye!
