Steer This Way BY LARRY SNIDER One company has come up with a gas pedal that pushes, back if you accelerate too rapidly. Unleaded gas is said to triple spark plug life - if your car can use it. Cars in the District of Colum- bia will have red, white and blue licence plates to celebrate the bicentennial. Clean your windshield, side windows and headlights often. Wash the INSIDE of windows, too, to avoid vision- blurring film that often collects there. * President Ford is the driving- est president yet.

Here is some information which might Semester change for some courses By KATHY STECKLE South Huron students are entering the second semester this week. Only a small percen- tage of courses are affected by this change. The half credit courses include home economics, some technical studies and also year three and year four English courses, This change means that the subject taken up to this week is completed; an exam has been written and hopefully a half credit has been earned. Most students are welcoming the change for it helps to break the year and then boredom does not become a problem. Other students are not really sure about the switch, That may be because it is a new experience for them. However, all will settle in nicely and the uncertainty that was in their minds will dis- appear. The big change is here whether students are ready or not. To console those with doubts, just remember the school year is half over. Exeter Men's 'A' SP R. Smith 922 . 7 RO FL CU J. Bedard 722 3 A. Flynn 763 0 B, Dougall 703 4 R. Wood 834 7 C4,TH R.

For students corning into grade nine, English is a require- ment. Also, if you hope to go on to a post secondary education, math, science, French, history and geography are strongly recommended. These give a good balance of subjects which are the basis for many others. Physical and health education is impor- tant as well perhaps because it allows for a break in an academic day, and supplies a channel for excess energy. A student may take a max- imum of eight credits. Most se- cond year courses require a first MATH CORNER ' Each week the Math Club will have a math logic problem or such in the paper.

Students who select Technical Studies 142 in year one will receive instruction in six technical areas, Thjs programme has a value of two credits, Such students should select six other credits for a total of eight credits. The technical courses numbered 150 are one credit courses. Students may select one or two, but not more than two. Students may not select both types of technical courses, ie. 150 and 142, For those who wish to enter a secretarial course there is a typ- ing and consumer education course. Each of these is worth one credit and are very helpful in their respective fields. The choices made now could affect your entire life, so talk to parents, teachers, sisters and brothers. Learn as much as you can and choose carefully. S.H. may get computer in fall By C. W. LONG In February the Huron County Board of Education will be asked to approve a proposal to instal a computer at S.H.D.H.S. If ap- proved, the computer will be in operation for September 1975. This proposal is being recommended by a county-wide committee, consisting of 10 teachers and the Board ad- ministrators, which has been meeting since September. The computer and the related courses, are intended to help those who may be interested in a career in computers or those who want to learn something about computers for their own interest and protection. There are two "streams" available for computer oriented students. Basic programming 300 and Advanced Programming 400 is for' students not planning on attending university. Computer Science 300 and 400 is for the university bound. We expect to have Computer Science 550 available in September 1976. Informatics 200 is an in- troductory course which explores data processing and information systems in general not , just computers. The total local cost of the computer will be recovered in less than two years from savings from current operations. Two masons receive jewels More than one hundred years of Masonry was represented when the Worshipful Master and several representatives of Lebanon Forest Lodge No. 133, travelled to Grand Bend on January 19, 1975 to honour two of their members. Brother Roland Williams, who was initiated into Masonry on March 31, 1924 was presented with his 50 year jewel by his cousin Rt, Worshipful Bro, William Cann. Brother Wellington Baker, who was initiated into Masonry on January 5, 1925 was, presented with his 50 year jewel by Worshipful Bro, W. m. Webster, Congratulations wereexpressed to these Masoris of long standing by Very Worshipful Bro. Ken Hodgins and Worshipful 13ro, Chester Mawhinney. A pleasant hour was spent in re-calling some of the outstanding events of the past years. The preSentation was made in the home of Mr, Baker as he was un- able to attend the regular meeting of the lodge, By MARY WARBURTON On January 24, the Junior Outers group spent a night out under the stars at Hay Swamp. The group, now under the direc- tion of Mr. Holmes who is filling Mr. Probizanski's position, boarded the bus and left the school 'a t approximately 4 p.m, A few senior outers also went along since their campout was cancell- ed due to the absence of Mr. Girard and Mr, Mills. Upon reaching our destination, work constructing shelters started. Most built a lean-to made of branches tied together and large plastic sheets. Martin VanRaay and Roy Milton made a snow fort with a sheet of plastic for the roof. Unfortunately it started to rain before some had,finished making the lean-to and before anyone had their fire going. But campers came prepared with trench candles which were made previously. These did help but the wood was wet and therefore the fires were smokey. Sleeping wasn't too bad - once you got to sleep - but' lot of peo- ple got up in the early hours of the morning to keep warm by the . fires. , In the, morning, after it had Huron County will soon have a Big Brother program. A meeting of interested residents, recreation leaders; clergymen and representatives of the Huron County Children's Aid Society (CAS) determined Monday night that there is suf- ficient interest to warrant the program. Asteering committee has been formed to get the program un- derway as soon as possible. Cathy Cruickshank, representative of the Children's Aid Scoety, said Wednesday that all schools in Huron County had been contacted to search their files for the names of fatherless boys who would be eligible for the program, Organizer, Greg Lawrence of Goderich, a public school teacher and former Big Brother in Brantford said he expected the program could involve about 15 Little Brothers in its first year of operation. YACMR kids host meeting By MARION JOHNSON South Huron YACMR has finally decided to come out of hibernation after one month of rest, On February 1 a meeting for the two regions in this area was hosted at Arc Industries, Dash- wood. Those attending were members from Wingham, Stratford, Woodstock, Waterloo, Guelph and Kitchener. The purpose of the meeting was to get to know these people and to plan activities together helpiik" make the lives of the mentally retarded as normal as possible Activities for this area will he planned at club meetings usually held in the acitivity period. All people interested in working with the mentally retarded should come out to the meetings. You will be welcome,just listen for the announcements to find out when and where the meetings are. Some of the trainees from Arc Industries ride on an Exeter bu,. If you see them speak to them, say hello. You will find them willing to talk and very friendly. A little bit of friendliness on your part ,does not take- much. If you have some spare periods get together with some friends and go Visit Arc Industries, Let Mr, Fry know you are coming, go out and get to know the trainees. The workers will appreciate any help you can give, If you are willing to help there is work you can do, rained a good part of the night, it was obvious that Hay Swamp was well named. When everyone had packed up their gear, all sloshed their way to the bus. It 'was about 10 a.m. when the Junior Outers arrived at the high school. It was the opinion of most that By N. BAKER Students at S.H,D.H.S. had the opportunity this week to meet and talk with teachers they may not normally see during their school year. It's option time at the local high school and with over 140 courses available teachers from each department visited home forms to try and shed some light on the various courses a student may choose. Courses available run all the way from advanced computer programming to the more traditional Latin 450. In between there are 'a multiplicity of the campout was great. Even the rain didn't succeed in spoiling the effect, but most agreed that it would have been better without the rain. Many people seemed to think that Outers were crazy to go camping in the winter but, crazy or not, they enjoyed it. English, history, math, com- mercial and technical subjects. Each student has a student information and course description book, however many want more detailed information, thus the visits from the teachers. Questions ran all the way from, "What is it?" to a request for a detailed course outline, Guidance personnel and ad- ministration staff are available for consultation but with over 1,000 students each requiring an individual time-table a concerted effort is being made to give students as much information as possible before they make sub- ject selections. While all course options are iriii3Ortant;-Perliaiis-the gride 13 - selections are most vital since universities scutinize subjectg and ,marks obtained carefully before admitting prospective university candidates. At the grade 13 level 15 courses are offered. There are two English, three launguages, history, sociology, three sciences , three maths and accounting 550. The courses to be offered next year depend on which subjects students choose, so their selec- tions become of major concern. - Continued from front page the vehicles did not come in contact with each other. Constable Bill Osterloo listed damage to the Steuer vehicle at $1,700. At almost the same location at 6:45 p.m. Friday a car operated by Gerald Broderick, Exeter went out of control and rolled over in the west ditch. Damage in that was listed at $200 by Constable Wilcox. In the only other crash of the week, a truck driven by Richard Mommersteeg, RR 2, Zurich went out of control on Highway 84 about one mile west of County Road 2 at 5:00 a.m. Saturday. The vehicle went into the south ditch, rolled over and came to rest on its side. Damage was listed at $1,000 by Constable Bill Glassford. Centralia Farmers Supply Ltd.

Under consideration is the purchase of a $12,000 machine from Trackless MT, Woodstock, Councillor Norm Steeper wants to make a priority schedule to distribute finances where they are most needed now, He was concerned that only the paved streets would be maintained, while those streets with pot-holes would not be kept up to good repair. It is his belief that money for the machine could be put to better use now. No subsidies are available for the purchase, according to Reeve Ivan Hearn. However there are some methods to obtain money, Councillor Harry Wraith noted that assessment from 40 new homes could provide the needed money. Also for consideration is money from the sale of the firehall last year, At present Main Street sidewalks are cleared with a bucket and backhoe. The sidewalks on streets other than Main Street are not done. Mr, Hearn argued that the village has new sidewalks that can't even be seen in the winter, because there is no way of clearing them. Councillor Larry Hotson noted that winter seems nearly over, and suggested that a decision be made in the fall, He also said that in another year there would be more work for the machine than in the remainder of this year. A letter is to be sent to the Woodstock firm, thanking them, and stating that a decision will be made at the spring budget meeting, whether or not to purchase the machinebefore fall. The Ministry of the Environ- ment was to report on the capacity of village sewers but the report has not been received. Council made the formal ap- plication to the Ministry of Transportation & Com- munication for the balance owing on road and connecting link subsidies for 1974. A letter was received from the Lucan Hydro Commission meeting of January 9 requesting a higher rate of pay for meetings. The suggestion was made that members receive $20 for regular meetings and $25 for special meetings, to a maximum of six special meetings annually. The letter suggested also that the rates for the, ch.ainnartPe raised to $25 for a regular meeting and $30 for special meetings. The same rates would apply for perdiem or special day meetings out of town. Mike Roy from Biddulph Central School, in a letter to council, states that he is documenting the history of Middlesex County. The title of the book is "Man and Middlesex" and is to be circulated in area public schools, hopefully by September 1975. Mr. Roy asked for any assistance to find in- terestingpersons or information in Biddulph Township. Lucan council members have been invited to attend a workshop in London featuring dialogue on regional government . At the meeting will be representatives from the Town of Simcoe, the Regional Municipality of Hamilton-Wentworth and the restructured Oxford County. . Reporting for the committee investigating parking on Main Street, Larry Hotson said that businessmen were complying with the request not to park on the street for long periods of time. Mr. Hotson said that if they did not co-operate, council would be forced to pass a two hour parking bylaw. A decision on the matter was deferred for one month so Mr. Hotson could keep Who knows what lies ahead? Men's 'B' OE G. Hunter Duvar 679 TA B. Nicol 631 ' FB T. Patterson 585 CP D. Jackson 614 BS B.

The chokers sold 7 85 for $1.50 and the necklaces sold 7 85 for $3.00. 2 5 673 The money brought in from the 5 5 61 sale of these neckpieces is to be 5 60 sent overseas to an orphanage in 2 60 Darjeeling, India. The orphanage 2 51 is named "Paul's House" in 5 40 memory of Paul Robinson, a late 2 23 0 18 student of S.H.D.H,S. The or- 0 9 phanage itself is run by Brother Bob Mittleholtz and is non- denominational. The work done on the necklaces and the sale of them was done by volunteers. There is no profit made and all of the money will go to the orphanage. Cathy Cruickshank said that this is a standard number to work towards in the first year because of the work involved in matching the Little „Brothers with their Big ' Brothers. She said that they usually have more eligible little brothers than volunteers to match up with them, A Big Brother must be 18 years of age or over and an involved interviewing and screening process is carried out to make sure the Big Brother and his charge will get along well. Mr. Lawrence said that an ad hoc committee of interested persons will continue to establish particular needs and specific goals, with a view to getting the program into operation as soon as possible. The group has already been promised financial support from CAS and the moral support of recreation committees in Brussels, Seaforth, Goderich, Clinton and Exeter. Working in co-operation with the CAS the group will try to determine the number of fatherless boys aged six to six- teen across the county. Mr. Lawrence said that boys will be referred to the program . by school, parents, relatives, friends, ministers and probation officers. The steering committee will meet again next Tuesday to discuss the results of the school survey. Interested persons are invited to contact Cathy Cruickshank at the Children's Aid Society offices in Goderich or Greg Lawrence, organizer of the program at 524- 7778. The first public meeting will probably be held in Goderich in the third week of February. Teachers explain options new courses available
