Photo by Bagley South Huron tries new approach, invites experts to teach skills By LEIGH ROBINSON "It's a new approach' to education", says Walter Fydenchuk, techn:cal director at South Huron High School in Exeter, He is referring to an innovation that he is using in his electrical classes, inviting local experts into the classroom as guest lecturers, Last Monday the lecturer happend to be Lorne Kleinstiver, an electrical and heating con- tractor from Dashwood, who was invited in to explain the function of a heat pump. "I polled 30 of my students to see if they knew what a heat pump was and none of them knew", Fydenchuk explains enthusiastically. Drawing various diagrams on the blackboard, Kleinstiver begins to show the pupils what a heat pump can do. The heat pump is a new in- By MRS. E. SUMMERS • Mrs. Clifford McRobert was hostess for the 'January WI meeting on Tuesday evening January 20th, Mrs. Donald Roloson President presided. l'hirteen members were present in spite of the stormy weather, The roll call was "Do you use the seat belts in your car?" The program topic was Family & Consumers affairs, the conveners were Mrs. Norman Riddell & Mrs. Lois Herbert. Mrs. Riddell gave a talk dealing with warranties on electric and other appliances in the home, which was very enlightening and also read an article from the Federated News by Mrs. E.V. Fulton past president of ACWW "Around the World with ACWW". Mrs. Herbert read a poem God's Children pertaining to the Motto "Thought for the day. as a Family, do we listen to one another," she also gave some household hints. Mrs. Riddell brought the program to a close with an account illustrated with pictures taken on her trip to Prince Edward Island last Summer, Correspondence read included a letter from Mrs. Herbert Maluske FWIO President, thank-you notes from the shut-ins who were remem- bered at Christmas and a letter of thanks from the Canadian Institute for the Blind in ap- preciation for the canvass for vention in the heating and air conditioning field. There are two units, one which is placed outside the building and one on the inside. The outside unit gathers cold air and pumps it to the inside unit which converts it into warm air that is distributed through conventional furnace ducts to heat the building. "The pump works on the same principle as a refrigerator or air conditioner only in reverse", Fydenchuk says. It is basically an electrical heating system, eliminating the need for fossil fuels which are getting harder and harder to come by, according to the major oil companies, anyway. The pump has an ad- vantage over normal electrical heating though, because it uses less hydro. It is the warm con- verted air that heats the building, not the electricity per se. The heal pump has other ad- vantages. It works as an air conditioner in the summer, funds in October last year. The .hostess was assisted in serving lunch by the conveners. . Scout & Cub news The Scouts are now meeting on Saturday evening. Ben Kop Scout leader says there is a need for another leader to work with him, he also said the boys have started to make hanging planters with a mosaic design made of wood in preparation for a craft table at a bazaar next fall, which will be sponsored by the UCW. The cubs also are working for the craft table, and are looking forward to some skating at the ar 'na, for their next meeting, These two groups are hoping to present a. variety show again this year.

The pump has a built-in humidifier- de-humidifier which regulates the humidity of a building all year long. And it has an air filtration system which eliminates particles of dust, smoke, bacteria and other elements from the circulating air, providing a sterile at- mosphere for occupants. "Its a great invention for people with respiratory problems", Fydenchuk points out. Adding to his educational philosophy, Fydenchuk says that guest lecturers provide "a new face, new ideas, new approaches to an old subject." He plans to bring more in during the course of the year. One thing is for sure. The 30 students in that electrical class now know what a heat pump is, thanks to novice instructor, Lorne Kleinstiver. weekend before last on Manitoulin Island ice-fishing, they brought home their quota of Lake Trout, three a piece, eighteen fish.

Book allowances are being increased approximately 10 percent. In 1976.77, the OSAP allowance for local transportat-ion will meet actual costs up to a maximum of $8 per week. The parental income levels used in calculating the amount of student assistance needed, have been adjusted to take into ac- count the difficulties encountered by parents in contributing to their children's educational costs during an inflationary period. Tuition fees in 1976-77 will remain frozen at current levels and provincial rent controls and federal price controls will apply to colleges, universities, and other provincially supported post-secondary institutions. Individuals returning from the work force for the 1976-77 academic year will no longer be expected to have saved a quarter of their last eight months' ear- nings, The savings requirement will be reduced to 10 percent, or an amount based on students' required summer savings, whichever is greater. "I think there is great merit in students' working during the summer months and at off-hours during their school terms to help with their expenses," said Dr. Parrott, "and beginning in September, ' 1976, students receiving assistance from OSAP will be allowed to earn up to $500 per term during the academic year, before their part-time earnings will be considered in the calculation of assistance." In 1976-77, all students applying for assistance in Ontario will have their need assessed ac- cording to OSAP criteria. at hall February 2.

Dr% Parrott noted that the demand for student assistance is increasing much faster than enrolment in universities and colleges of applied arts and technology. The Ministry received more than 100,000 ap- plications for assistance from OSAP in the current year, an increase over 1974-75 of nearly 11 percent, In the same period, enrolment increased by about five-and-a-half percent. "I have avoided any major revision of the structure of People receiving Old Age Security pensions are going to find a cost of living increase when they receive their cheques at the end of January, according to Health and Welfare Minister Marc Lalonde.

The new monthly total at the single rate for persons receiving OSAP," Dr. Parrott said. "The program will continue lo operate as it has in the past until we have. had time to consider the recommendations of the Interim Advisory Committee on Financial Assistance for Students," The Committee's report is expected in July, 1976, Changes resulting from its recommendations will not be put into effect before• the 1977-78 academic year. Dr. Parrott urged students to apply early for OSAP so that they can know at a much earlier date the results of their request for assistance. Early applications, ho noted, will also help. to both the basic Old Age Security pension and the maximum Guaranteed, Income Supplement will be $226.12 — up by $6.16. For a married couple who are both pensioners, the combination of the basic pension 'and maximum supplement will provide a total of $431.36 monthly an increase of $11.74 from the previous total, - The. following are additional details of the increases: The basic Old Age Security pension will rise to $132.90 from the present $129.28. The maximum Guaranteed Income Supplement for a single distribute the work load of the Ministry's Student Awards Branch more efficiently. "Recent cutbacks in staff are part of the Ontario Government's internal program of restraint which af- fects most ministries," Dr. Parrott added, "including the Ministry of Colleges and Universities and its Student Awards Branch." The Ministry is preparing a descriptive booklet, Ontario Student Assistance Program, 1976-77, which will be distributed in March to high schools and post- secondary educational in- stitutions throughout the province, person, or a• married person whose spouse is not a pensioner and is not receiving a Spouse's Allowance, goes up to $93.22 from its current $90.68. The maximum supplement for a married couple, both pensioners, increases to $82.78 each from $80.53. Added to the basic pension, this will give each married pensioner $215.68 monthly, or a total of $431.36. The maximum Spouse's Allowance will increase to $215.68 from $209.91. This is made up of an amount equivalent to the basic Old Age Security pension and an amount equivalent to the maximum Guaranteed Income Supplement at the married rate. NEW APPROACH TO EDUCATION — To stimulate interest in his electrical courses, Walter Fydenchuk, technical director at South Huron District High School is inviting local experts in related fields to provide guest lectures.-Above Lorne Kleinstiver, an electrical and heating contractor, instructs a class on the ad- vantages of a new invention, the heat pump. The pump brings in cold winter air and converts it into a warm air to heat a building, working in much the same way as a refrigerator, only in reverse, photo by Robinson. Granton Women's group talk on use of seat belts in cars An increase of $11.45 million in the 1976-77 budget of the Ontario Student Assistance Program tOSAP) was announced today by Dr. Harry C. Parrott, Minister of Colleges and Universities. Grants to students who can demonstrate need will total $61 million, up from $49.55 million in the current year. The purpose of the Ontario Student Assistance Program is to provide loans and grants to pest- secondary students in Ontario who have insufficient resources to pay for their education. • Students' educational costs and financial resources are carefully assessed to calculate the amount of money they may receive through OSAP. In 1976-77, assistance up to $1,000 will be provided as a Canada Student Loan which must be repaid. Students needing additional assistance will usually receive it in the form of a provincial grant which in most cases does not require repayment. "We have made substantial improvements in the program, bringing financial assistance in line with the real costs faced by students," Dr. Parrott said, "To help pay for these improvements and to cope with the growth in demand for assistance, we have also had to increase the loan ceiling, the amount students may borrow before they can obtain a provincial grant." Many OSAP allowances have been increased as the result of recent evaluations of student needs. OSAP board-and-lodging and miscellaneous allowances will be increased to $57 from $51.50 per week for students living away from home, and to 4-H girls attend Elimville meeting 50 FARMERS — left Huron Tractor via bus Tuesday morning to participate in a farmers' fly-in to two John Deere manufacturing locations in the United States, The group was taken first to Toronto where they board- ed a plane for the U.S. Shown checking their baggage before departure are from the left Earl Long of Huron Tractor Ltd., Arnold Fisher of Goderich, and Arnold Bruce of Belgrave, Ontario, Cost of living added to Old Age Security Pensions
