Back from Rome, the eternal city Times-Advocate, April 1, 1971 Pal)* 3 Although it means an increase of only two teachers across the county next year at the secon- dary school level, the Ontario Department of Education's mandatory introduction in September 1971 of a revised credit system in Grade 13 will in actual fact require a total of 15 extra teachers in Huron County and cost the taxpayers ap- proximately $150,000. That's because the new credit system requires more teaching time. The board had hoped to cut the secondary school teaching staff back during the 1971-72 school year but now, since the new regulations, two additional teachers added to last year's staff will be needed to meet bare • requirements in Huron's secondary schools this fall. D. J. Cochrane, director of education, explained that under the current system in use, a Grade 13 student could get two credits in English, for instance, CAVEN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Minister: Rev.

Under the new system, said Cochrane, English literature and English composition will become two separate courses, English one and English two, and will require five periods each per week or cycle or ten rather than seven classes per week or cycle to get two English credits, Similar conditions exit t in almost all courses offere'l to Grade 13 students in Huron County and will necessitate many additional hours of teaching in the classroom. "The Department puts a lid on spending and then offers a course which will require more teachers," stated Chairman Bob Elliott shaking his head, "I can't follow their reasoning always." Dr. A. B.

Elliott asked Cochrane what benefits the new credit cystem would have over the old one. Cochrane admitted he was not convinced there would be too many benefits but added the new system would be a "resolution of some of the inequities of the past." The director also told the board there is the distinct possibility of a credit system in Grades 9 to 12 becoming mandatory in Sep- tember 1972, and in that case, it would become necessary to reassess the whole question of number of staff. "If it is going to take this many teachers for the new system in Grade 13 only, what will happen when it goes into the other grades?" asked John Henderson, McKillop. "Isn't it foolish all round?" Cochrane told Henderson that in the other grades, there is a broader base of both teachers and students and the change would not require as much ad- ditional staffing. Although some board members expressed displeasure at the new system and suggested that a letter be forwarded to the Ontario Department of Education voicing that disapproval, it was agreed that a document from Huron would be a little premature. "This credit system is a new , game," stated Cochrane. "It will involve education of the teachers, of the students and of the public. Let's take a look at it first." In the meantime, Director of Education Cochrane received the permission to hire 270 fulltime • teachers for the secondary school system when it had been hoped that 255 would carry the load in Huron this year before the new system was imposed. "Maybe we should regionalize small demand options," said Dr. A. B. Deathe. Mrs. Marilyn Kunder, Seaforth, agreed. She noted that a very small percentage of the Seaforth High School students were taking Latin this year. Since Latin is not required for anything but entering a course to become a Latin teacher, suggested Mrs. Kunder, maybe the Latin course should be offered at only a couple of schools in the county with the students desiring a Latin course travelling there to take it. "I've been there and back," stated Bob Elliott. He reminded the board that Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton had been built with the agreement of all secondary school boards in Huron so that all technical training could be taken there, not requiring the other schools in the county to build technical facilities locally. "The students were the hangup there," said Elliott, "They just wouldn't leave their home school to take the course. They preferred to stay at home and take a course they were not suited for and maybe didn't even want. John Henderson asked why the students at Seaforth District High School were not given the op- portunity to have home economics in Grade 13 when Exeter, Wingham and Goderich had it. He said several parents had indicated to him that their children were interested in the course. The director of education told Henderson it was his feeling that the Seaforth school had too few students enrolled in Grade 13 to warrant the addition of an extra option. He said home economics wasn't required for entrance into any university, not even when students would be majoring in home economics. He also stated that the modern home economics course was mere sociology than cooking, sewing, and baking. He said the course was taught in a classroom, not in a home economics laboratory, and added that in some eases, boys are enrolled in the course. Cochrane indicated that while sotne students perhaps thought the course would be relatively Rome! The Eternal City! These' words evoke many thoughts and reactions. The mental and emotional im- pressions from the words are even more emphatic to the thirty privileged adults and young people from this area who ac- tually visited Rome. It is impossible to explain the wonder and excitement we felt as we saw wordy descriptions and colourful pictures from books Has inside information Alex McGregor, deputy-reeve of Tuckersmith and chairman of the county development com- mittee said he could not divulge in public what inside information he and his committee had, but he strongly urged members of Huron County Council meeting in Goderich March 26 to approve the $6175.56 fee to Mid-western Ontario Development Association for this year as well as the appointment of develop- ment officer Spence Cummings for another term. "I can assure you this thing will turn out in good shape," promised McGregor. 'This is a critical period in Huron County." Warden Jack Alexander concurred and indicated to council that the county development committee had some knowledge of the govern- ment's planning with regard to CFB Clinton which officially closes at the end of this year. Representatives to the MODA zone will be McGregor; Gordon Hess, chairman of the executive committee; Charles Thomas, chairman of the county planning board; Warden Jack Alexander; and one other representative, Spence Cummings. Cummings' salary will be $10,000 this year with provisions for a salary review at the end of the year. His office this year will be located in the court house and not at CFB Clinton as it was previously. The budget for his department will be $25,000 which provides $2,000 for secretarial fees, $1,000 for travelling expenses; $2,000 for committee pay; $8,500 for public relations; and the balance in miscellaneous expenditures such as telephone, employee benefits etc. Reeve Paul Carroll, Goderich, suggested a "loosely-knit, organization" which would permit MODA, the county development officer and the municipal industrial committees or commissioners to "work as a team rather than completely disintegrated". He claimed MODA was an "active organization concerned with the development of this region" and added that if the benefits from membership in MODA have not been too satisfactory, it is because "municipalities haven't done their share of the work in promoting or implementing those recommendations from MODA", In other business, council approved a three-day deer season in Huron for each of the next five years with shotguns only being permitted; approved the weed inspecting budget of $12,500 allowing a 20 cent an hour raise in pay for county weed inspector Alex Chesney from $2.30 to $2.50 per hour; and sanctioned a reforestation budget of $5,350 which last year actually cost $4,600. Two cars collide at Exeter corner The Exeter police investigated only one crash this week, that occurring at the corner of Main and Huron on Monday at 3:45 p.m. Drivers involved were Jacob Reder and Ervin Eggert, both of town. Constable Robertson listed damage at $325. easy, it was quite involved. It Was suggested that when Huron County students were fully aware of the content of the home economics course, there might not be as much interest in it another year. Home economics has been an option for Grade 13 at SHDHS, Exeter, but for the first time this year will be offered at Wingham and Goderich. As well, the board also ap- proved a basic programming course for South Huron DHS at Exeter this year in addition to the schools in Clinton and Wingham. A new course, dramatic arts, will be introduced at Goderich this fall. At the same time, Clinton" will offer a one-year special commercial course which was obtainable at one time in most Huron County high schools before the four-year commercial course took precedence. To enter, a student must have Grade 11 with commercial options or Grade 12 general. turn into acual sights. and sounds. After months of preparation and anticipation it seemed dif- ficult to believe, as we stepped off the plane, that we were actually in Italy. This difficulty quickly dissolved as a gust of warm southern winds forced the last of our Canadian chill out of our bones. After that, not for a moment could we, nor did we want to, escape the reality of Rome. Our first tour gave us a glimpse An official of Ontario Hydro termed as "pure speculation" any reports that the utility might be building a nuclear generating station in this area. There has been some speculation in this part of the province that Ontario is looking at potential sites for a generating station, said Jack Boitson, public relations manager for the Western Region of Ontario when he recently addressed the Zurich Chamber of Commerce. "That's about all it amounts to — speculation," However, Mr. Boitson said the speculation did rest on some facts. The speaker went on to explain that Ontario Hydro is facing the task of acquiring a number of large sites over the next few years where new plants may be constructed. "Between 1975 and 1985, several thermal electric giants will no doubt be an- nounced,, and will need to be built, Of we are to cope with an elec- trical load that is doubling about every decade," he added. Mr. Boitson also said that Ontario Hydro has begun a program of site investigation all along the shore of the Great Lakes. "Certainly, Lake Huron is one body of water that must be assessed carefully," he said. "But we are also looking at the Georgian Bay shoreline, and along Lake Ontario. An im- portant step we take is to option the site we're interested in." "Mr. Boitson also pointed out that even after a location is chosen, it may be a few years of the lights and sounds of Rome by night that mado it resemble the fairway .of the CNE, We had our first taste of the marvellous. beauties of Rome as well as irratic Italians darting about in their little cars. But that was just the beginning of something good. During our stay in Rome we. visited many of the famous sights known to the whole world. St. Peter's Cathedral permitted us to. appreciate the genius of Bernini and Michelangelo. before any construction work is begun." As you can see the dates of any planned activity on the shores of Lake Huron, assuming they materialize, would now be well into the 1970's and possibly beyond that to the 1980's," he added. County plan —Continued from front page ribbon plans encourages high cost in terms of road con- struction, telephone, power and maintenance services." The plan also states that in rural areas, registered plans of subdivision will not be permitted. "All divisions of land will be by consent for conveyance of the Land Division Committee and limited to one lot per applicant so as to maintain the rural nature and characteristic of the agricultural areas," the plan states. The plan which cost the county $58,000 and took two years to prepare will now be presented to the municipalities for study and recommendations. It will then go back to the planning board for further study and finally, back to Huron County Council for final approval. "Planning is for people," said Nicklom," today and in the future. People sometimes don't like to get involved. They may wish to turn it over to you for decision." "You can start living with the plan today," Nicklomconcluded, "if you agree with it," The beauty within the cathedral evoked a spirit of love and worship. This became very personalized as the Pope gave the Canadian students a blessing of love and grace for our friends and loved ones at home. At the coliseum we did not need to close our eyes to imagine the roar of lions, the clash of swords as two gladiators fought for their lives, or the cheer of vast crowds. With a little meditation we could visualize thousands of Romans gathering at the forum to cheer at the announcement of the Roman army's success in England or victory in Africa. Incentive plan — Continued from front page persons or individuals on welfare who are able to work, If the county government wished, it could have claimed the money and conducted a county- wide program. . However, councillors were in agreement that the money could be spent more advantageously at the municipal level and each municipality may now adopt its own plan for the use of the money. The applications must be made by the end of this month. The program ends at June 30.

The Italians are a marvellous people. They are warm and friendly. They radiate a love for life. The streets in Rome were always swarming with ears and people. Yet in such an at- mosphere they give an air of relaxation and enjoyment, Only a few of our group ac- tually had the opportunity to gain an understanding and friendship of the Italians, But those who did will never forget what they learned of the beautiful Italian culture and people. When finally the holiday was over and the jet touched down on Canadian soil there were many sighs of joy and glad return, Many carried with them not only delightful memories but also the desir¢ that the little coin in the ' Trevi Fountain so far away in Rome would make their wish for a return come true.
