Well, a visit to the Huron Country Playhouse Guild's Christmas Holly Tea and Bazaar this Saturday could be the answer to your problems. The Bazaar is being held at the home of Mrs. Brown, 245 Lakeshore in Southcott Pines, Grand Bend, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m, this Saturday and promises to be an excellent way to get some ideas for the coming festive season. For the Christmas table there will be candy house centre- pieces for sale only they are not edible and will last for years. Candy cane fences and chimneys with Santa peeking out and chocolate bar doors and windows combined to make the centrepieces a wonder 'to behold. For those old Christmas bows, you need only bring in a choke cherry bush or any leafless branches you may find and paint them green. Stick the bows back to back so the bows show on both .sides and then put them over the branches of your tree. Add a string of the very tiny Christmas lights and you have a most unusual Christmas tree or decoration. There will be one such tree on display in the Brown home the day of the bazaar. Gets cheque for balloon Elimville area farmer Harold Kerslai,J received a $10 cheque in the mail recently from Pomp- ton Plains, New Jersey. The compensation was a reward to Mr. Kerslake for fin- ding and returning a balloon which had been released as part of a Bi-Centennial celebration in the United States town. An accompanying letter said balloons were returned from various points in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. A large number of balloons were released by the Junior Women's Club of Pompton Plains as part of the recognition of the 150th birthday of the United States. A day-long workshop was held. Wednesday for the 11 special education teachers of the Huron- Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board at the board office in Dublin. The workshop was one of several that will be held preparing these teachers to become resource personnel in the schools. Joseph Mills, superintendent of special services for the board, said the Ministry of Education wants to try to keep students requiring special education in their own classrooms and in their own communities, To help the Program within the school we are preparing the special education teachers now to become resource teachers, he explained. The major focus is on early iden- tification of learning problems at an early age — Kindergarten, Grade 1 or 2. Mrs. Pegi Kosa, resource teacher in special education of the Dufferin-Peel County Roman Catholic Separate School Board, Mississauga, and Dr. Paul Stein, psychiatrist specializing in family psychiatry and young children, Bluewater Centre, Goderich, conducted the workshop. Mrs. Kosa discussed the setting up of a resource concept within the schools with the ultimate goal of achieving more in- dividualization in meeting the needs of the children. Dr. Stein, a resource person to the separate board, helped to explain certain ideas to the special education teachers and took a look at special cases to enable them to be resource people for the individual teachers in the classrooms. Dr. Stein said, "It is becoming apparent to me there is a need for special education for the child who is educationally han- dicapped and for the child who is very bright or gifted." Mrs. Kosa said the focus needs to be changed away from looking at what is wrong with a kid and his problem to what he can do. "We really need to look at kids. We learn a lot more that way," she said. Dr. Stein said, "It's easy for programs to be planned but unless someone looks at the child he is lost in the programming." During a question and answer period, a great many questions dealt with the depressed child, the causes such as negative parents, failure . . . how the teacher can deal with it in the classroom. Another question dealt with what a teacher does about a suspected "abused child" such as notifying the local Public health nurse . These were answered by Dr. Stein. Mrs. Kosa explained the formal and informal testing done to determine what is causing a child to be educationally handicapped — such as hearing and sight problems, a weakness or missing skills, and other medical reasons. The evaluation reports in- dicated the teachers enjoyed participating in the program where they were able to share ideas and learn from someone .else, The' Clin toniChris tiaartef °ruled volunteers were at Huronview Monday to assist with the ac- tivities. Marie Flynn, Lorne Lawson and Norman Speir provided the old tyme music for the first part of the program followed by a sing-song. The Harboraires, a men's chorus from Goderich and surrounding area, entertained on Family Night. Owing to the illness of their leader Mr. George Buchanan and pianist, Ed Stiles, John Greidanus was emcee for the program and Rev. John Woods played the ac- companiment. The men sang several old favourites, a negro spiritual, some Christmas carols and finished the program with a sacred number. Mr, George Jenner, one of the original members of the Harboraires, expressed the appreciation of the residents and invited them to come again sometime in the New Year. The residents enjoyed an af- ternoon of organ music on Thursday played by Mrs. Elsie Henderson and Jake Roorda. Special Christmas programs have been planned and beginning December 5 the Seaforth Com- munity Band will play for a concert at 2 p.m.; seventy students of the Exeter Roman Catholic School will present their program on Tuesday, December 14, at 2 p.m. and the Seaforth Lions will pay their annual visit on December 19 at 2 pm, MP lists LIP grants M.P. Bob McKinley announced on Friday the issuance of grants to Huron under the Local Initiatives program totalling $76,940. ARC Industries at Dashwood will receive $10,200 for the job placement and procurement of the handicapped. The project will employ three persons. Five persons will be employed on a Huron County Beautification Program through $15,300 in LIP funding. Another three will be employed through the Huron County Central Volunteer Bureau as the result of a $12,240 grant. That project will operate from Goderich Township. An Environmental 'Enhan- cement Program organized by the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority will employ four workers under a $9,400 LIP grant. The Van Egmond Foundation will employ four persons on a restoration project at the Van Egmond House through a $10,200 grant. Road and Park Beautification will be carried out by the Township of Tuckersmith following the granting of $9,400 by LIP. That project will employ three. At the same time as those announcements were made the Government announced its in- tention to make available another $100,000,000 in LIP grants. Those grants will however be available only in areas where unem- ployment is seven per cent or more and Huron is running only four and one half to five per cent unemployment. Elect MARGARET McCLURE For School Board Bayfield Reeve Ed Oddleifson called a $1,508 ceiling on salary increases "discriminatory" and called for a recorded vote when the Special Committee tabled its recommendations for salaries at Huron County Council on Thursday afternoon. The vote lost 49-5 but Mr. Oddleifson told County Clerk- Treasurer Bill Hanly to be sure his name was recorded as being in objection to approval of the recommendation. Mr. Oddleifson was protesting a clause in the committees recommendation which said that a "six per cent increase be granted to each of the Executive Group personnel, to a maximum of $1,508," The Bayfield Reeve said that if everyone else was entitled to a six per cent increase in salary it was descriminatory to place a ceiling on the two top paid County employees. Those affected by the ceiling were Medical Officer of Health Dr. Frank Mills, who earns $37,024 per, year, and County Engineer Jim Britnell, who receives a yearly salary of $32,578, after the increases. Oddleifson said it was not the money he was objecting to but that it was a point of principle. Warden Jack McCutcheon, who headed the Special Committee made up of council executive.. committee and the chairmen of all its other committees, said the limit was put on the increases for the two employees because of • provincial government regulations on such increases. The government pays a large portion of their salaries, he pointed out. Stanley Reeve Anson McKinley said the men were given 11 per cent raises last year which were much larger than those given other employees. He told the meeting that the lower end of the pay scale was held back last year and this year would make up for that inequality. Stan Profit, Reeve of Goderich, said he did not agree with the Bayfield Reeve's objection. He said because it was a percentage increase, all employees appeared to be getting the same treatment, when in fact the "higher paid help" was getting significantly more money. Before the increases the M.O.H. received $35,520 and the Engineer $31,080. Other increases include $1,456 for the Clerk-Treasurer and $1,274 for the Deputy Clerk- Treasurer bringing their salaries to $25;870 and $$22,360 respec- tively. The Planning Director will receive an increase of $887 bringing his salary to $23,062, the County Librarian gets $656 more bringing the salary up to $17,056, the Administrator at Huronview now earns $19,292 after a raise of $742. The Social Services Administrator received an in- crease of $634 to raise his salary to $16,484, the Development Officer got $611 bringing his salary to $15,886 and the Museum Curator received $520 in in- creases bringing his salary to $13,520. The sailing wasn't a great deal smoother for a recommendation that mileage allowance be in- creased, effective January 1, 1977, from 14 to 16 cents per mile for those receiving the car allowance of $60 per month and from 19 to 21 cents per mile for casual mileage. Exeter Reeve Clarence Boyle told the meeting that anyone who would take 20 cents per mile was "a robber." He said that even if petrol goes to $1.00 per gallon it would still only cost him $6,00 to attend a county council meeting where he received a free meal "which I should not get" and $12.50 renumeration. "I would still be making a profit by coming here," he said, "and I shouldn't." Goderich Reeve Stan Profit suggested that at least the County Councillors should be taken off the list of those to receive the 21 cents in mileage. Warden McCutcheon suggested that "that is easy for someone who walks to meetings to say." In the end council approved "the increase in milage rates as well as an increase in the per diem rate for Councillors. That rate will be increased from $44,00 to $46.00 for a full day or night meeting and from $27.50 to 28.50 for a half day meeting. The Warden's Honorarium was in- creased by the same motion by six per cent for 1977, from $2,500 per annum to $2,650 per annum, Warden McCutcheon told the meeting that increases for the council members were often left without moving up "to reality" so that one council was left with having to make one large in- crease. The increases he said were in "keeping with the times." Hotel Hensall Fri. & Sat. night "TOM McKAY" & The Tee Kees
