By the end of 1976 it is expected
that the Vanastra Swimming
Pool will have accumulated a
total operating deficit of $82,000.
Approximately $40,000 of this
deficit is capital equipment
which was not included in the
original debenture issue.
The deficit projection came to
light at county council Thursday
as part of the report of the
development committee, The
committee noted that it had no
recommendation to make, but
only wanted to bring the matter
to the attention of council for its
information and discussion.
Council generally agreed that
every municipality in the County
of Huron has residents making
use of the facility,
It has been indicated however,
the committeeexplained,that it is
possible this facility will close if
additional financial
arrangements cannot be made.
Tuckersmith Reeve Elgin
Thompson told the meeting that
he would "pull the rug out from
under" the operation in the near
future because it could not "go on
losing money 1 ike that."
While he agreed that everyone
in the County was benefiting
from the pool he said there was
"no way you can make recreation
pay for itself."
Gerry Ginn, Reeve of Goderich
Township, suggested that
operations of the pool was a
"timely topic when we've just
had a recration study and are
talking about area recreation."
"As far as I know," he added,
"the only people I know who can
survive year after year by losing
money are farmers."
Mr. Ginn did note that he did
not, think the pool should be
dropped immediately.
In other Development Com-
mittee business the Council
learned that W, Morgan,
Manager of the Southwestern
Ontario Travel Association, had
met with the committee on
November 16 and outlined the
proposed program for the
Association in 1977.
The Association is proposing to
reprint the Huron County
brochure, as well as the
brochures for the other seven
counties, together with other
advertising in 1977. Each. of the
counties in the region will provide
a grant of $3,500 to S.W.O.T.A.
The Huron Council agreed to
the grant provided that certain
changes were made in the
brochure. Councillors wanted the
agricultural component of Huron
presented more fully and the site
of the International Plowing
Match for 1978 to be marked on
the centrefold map.
It was also stressed that a
number of other pictures should
be changed as there were too
many of Goderich in the 1976
edition for the liking of the
majority of council members.
The Development Committee
also reported to council on a
meeting with the local committee
of the International Plowing
Match to discuss the financial
aspects of the 1978 match.
It was noted that the Bruce
County Local Committee budget
for 1976 was $130,000 which in-
dicated that the Ontario
Plowmen's Association had
guaranteed $115,000 of the total
budget.
The Ontario Plowmen's
Association have also indicated
they will advance the local
committee $3,000 the year prior
to the match, and $7,000 the year
of the match, which is repayable
when the event is over.
Council endorsed recom-
mendations coming out of that
meeting that all expenses of the
County exhibits for 1976 and 1977,
and advertising the 1978 I.P.M.
would be borne by the Local
Committee.
The County will loan the local
committee funds as might be
required, on request. If the Match
is a financial success, after all
expenses of the local committee
are paid, the County would be
repaid up to the maximum
amount loaned.
It was also agreed that the
County will be entirely respon-
sible for the cost of the County
exhibit at the match.
Council also agreed to a further
loan of $1,500 in 1976 and
provision be made in the 1977
budget for an additional $5,000.
In another area the Develop-
ment Committee reported on a
meeting with Tree Commissioner
Murray Scott and Assistant Tree
Commissioner J. Dietrich to
review activities in that depart-
ment over the past year.
Thirty permits have been
issued by the commissioners to
Has $82,000 deficit
Vanastra pool in trouble
clear trees, most of these being in
connection with small areas
being cleared to square fields.
Concern was expressed at that
meeting over the maximum fine
under the Trees Act. It was felt
this was not a sufficient deterrent
for farmers clearing land, It was
learned that Lambton County,
which has a by-law similar to
Huron's, has been successful in
charging both the bulldozer
operator and the owner, when
land has been cleared in con-
travention of the by-law.
It was agreed that in future this
practice would be followed in
Huron.

SS teachers hold
first activity day
The Huron-Perth Separate
Schoolteachers kickedbff a series
of Professional Activity Days
Friday at St. Mary's in Goderich
with a day long program that
should help to establish a core
curriculum for reading skills for
students. The program was
established in conjunction with
Ministry of Education guidelines
for establishing competence in
areas of learning.
The reading skills were pulled
from the list of guidelines the
ministry established after a
survey of the teacher's opinions
was taken by the Huron-Perth
Separate school board. The
teachers overwhelmingly chose
reading as a top priority and
strongly favored establishing a
core curriculum for the skills that
will be system wide.
"We want to establish con-

tinuity for the school system to
try to avoid having one school or
a group of schools from going off
on a tangent that varies from the
rest of the schools in the two
counties," said Joe Mills.
Mr. Mills, supervisor of special
services for separate board,
referred to the survey which set
the top three priorities for the
system as reading with un-
derstanding and meaning, un-
derstanding and using arithmetic
operations and articulating
students' own ideas thoughts and
feelings with confidence.
The teachers were in favor of
participating on the establish-
ment of the curriculum, and
operations and articulating
student's own ideas thoughts and
feelings with confidence,
The teachers were in favor of
participating on the establish-
ment of the curriculum and chose
workshops individualized in-
struction as the means to set their
methods down. As a result of the
workshops the teachers will
prepare a report to be sent to a
curriculum committee consisting
of teachers and parents. The
report Will be reviewed and sent
back to the staffs for final editing
before it becomes policy,
Mr. Mills said the teachers
hoped to lay out the steps they
feel are necessary to allow a child
to develop reading skills and use
them to benefit from reading
material in all subject matter
both in school and out,
The workshops were
established according to zones
that evenly divided the schools in
the two counties into four groups,
Zone One included Wingham,
Goderich, Clinton and Kings-
,bridge, Zone Two included
Exeter, Mt. Carmel, Zurich and
St. Joseph's, Zone Three included
St. Coltimban, Seaforth, Dublin,
}lesson and Kinkora and Zone
Fem. was made up of St. Marys
and Stratford schools.
