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. MINIATURE NUCLEAR PLANT — The first prize in the senior division of the recent Stephen Central School Science Fair was won by Steven Miller and his scale model of the Bruce nuclear plant. T-A photo -isoporgitaNOWN 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- Vote MARGARET McCLURE Huron County Board of Education Member for Stephen, Exeter, Usborne • Sound Educational Programmes • Improved Communications • Financiql Responsibility If you want Responsive Leadership 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.
