Editorial
MPP to meet youth
to study teen drinking
Last week the students of South Huron missed two and a half
days of school due to the lack of hydro,
In the last couple of months students have missed more than a
couple of days of school because of the heavy snow fall and terri-
ble road conditions, "The result of these Missed classes will be,"
said a high source at the school, "the cancelling of the March
break."
Exams begin this week. Students will not have all the
knowledge necessary to write these exams because of the days off.
"Some of the exams may be postponed and written during the
March break," said the same high scource. "It is very necessary
to make up for these lost classes."
A teacher at the school was quoted as saying that, "There is
no way that we want to work during the March break but if we are
ordered do so then we will have to", Another said, "I and quite a
few other teachers have planned to travel during the March break,
What are we supposed to do. Cancel our tickets? I don't think so."
Many students have also planned to travel during the March
break. When asked to comment one student said."It's completely
unfair to take away our holidays because of the weather and the
loss of hydro. We couldn't plan the storms so why are we being
forced to suffer because of them?" Other students have jobs to go
to during the proposed break. "There is no way that I am not going
to work", protested one student.
It looks like the controversy over this latest decision has just
begun. Without a March break, it could be a long school year,

It's your
world too
Let's pretend:
' There are a lot of men
they sit together
making rules
So we don't have to think,
Let's pretend:
There is a group of people
who like to fight a lot
and
and there's a lot of torture
So we don't have to love.
Let's pretend:
We're in a world
with a lot of people
who steal from each obher
So we don't have to trust.
Let's pretend:
In this world
there are people
who don't care about others
So we don't need togetherness.
Let's pretend:
We're in a world
with people who won't smile
So we don't need happiness.
Let's pretend:
We're in a world
where people hurt,
other people
So we don't need feelings.
Let's pretend:
Or do we have to pretend?
Gone
forever
The beautiful times that together
we shared
And now he says he no longer
cares
Looking very deeply into the past
Wondering why our love couldn't
last.
I suddenly realized nothing will
be the same
This was for real, we're not
playing a game!
It's all over now, he is gone from
me
Giving a reason of wanting to be
free.
I can't just stop, my life has to go
on
One day he loves me, the next day
he's gone!
I smiled when he said he'd leave
me never
And now „he is gone from me
forever!
And now, although there is so
much pain
I know I must start all over again
He has probably already found
someone new
So if he can do it — I can do it too!
The Huron County Board of
Education agreed Monday af-
ternoon to continue French in-
struction in grades three to eight.
A committee was established in
November to examine the
program of French instruction at
the elementary school level. The
committee consisted of all
members of the Education
committee, two teachers each
from elementary and secondary
schools, two elementary school
principals and two superin-
tendents.
The committee received a
number of presentations
suggesting the program begin
wjth children of a younger age,
Economic considerations and the
priority for English instruction
made it impossible for the
committee to extend the program
at this time.
The committee also considered
the feasibility and desirability of
making the subject optional at
grade seven and eight but felt this
would not be in the best interest
of the student or the system,
The committee also recom-
mended that:
A Huron County French
guideline be developed for the
elementary and secondary
schools.
A co-ordinator of French for
Huron County will be appointed
when possible.
Provisions be made for
elementary French teachers to
meet at least once each term.
More interaction be developed
among elementary and secon-
dary teachers and students,
Principals pay particular at-
tention to the importance of
recruitment of teachers for the
French program and the
teacher of French be resident in
one school wherever possible.
Teachers of French develop
suggestions and strategies for
improved working conditions and
discuss these with elementary
school principals,
Opportunities be provided for
students of French to test in real
situations what they have learned
in school.
Members of the committee
were Mrs. J. Love, R. B. Allan, J.
T. Chapman, J. W. Coulter, E. J.
Elliott, M. Herrington, E. C. Hill,
Mrs. M, Kunder, E. Mansfield, R.

Terry Jones, heading the
Ontario Government study of
teen-age drinking says he hopes
to meet with the youth of at least
20 communities before making
his report.
Jones, 37, MPP for Mississauga
North and parliamentary
assistant to Provincial Secretary
for Social Development Margaret
Birch, said requests are pouring
in from young and old alike
anxious to make some con-
tribution to the study.
Premier William Davis an-
nounced the study January 21, at
the same time he a ppointedJones
as the man responsible for the
Ontario Youth Secretariat.
The Premier said he expects a
report by April 1 and that the
study results from the concern of
his cabinet colleagues and the
public over the increasing use of
alcohol and its abuse by some
segments of the teen-age
population.
"It is a serious problem which
warrants our full co-operation
and determination to seek and
implement possible solutions at
the earliest possible date," said
Premier Davis,
Jones, who has already visited
some communities, said he has
firm commitments to visit 15
more and expects the total to
reach 20, Most of the
arrangements are being made by
local people rather than experts
and professionals from Toron-
to, he said,
"Every attempt is made to
keep the meetings as informal as
possible and make sure we reach
the young people," said Jones
who is accompanied on his visits
by an official of the Ontario
Addiction Research Foundation.
The usual format is a panel
discussion in the local high
schools that includes young
people with good and bad ex-
periences with alcohol and a
public open forum in the evening.
"We make it clear to the young
people that we are there to listen
and we are not putting them on,"
said Jones, "As a result we are
hearing some pretty startling
things and they are making some
surprising suggestions for
solutions."
Jones said young people are
deeply concerned with what is
happening around them and
many come to him after a session
to make further points.
"They tell me they are par-
ticularly pleased that the
Government is coming to them to
get their views on any possible
legislation that could effect
them," said Jones. "They feel
they are participating."

Mt, Carmel was one of the first
local communities in which
order was restored, and so the
village became a sanctuary for
many rural residents still suf-
fering the teeth-chattering ef-
fects of homes without hydro.
One of the homes which con-
tained more than the usual
number of people during the
storm's aftermath was the
residence of Vincent Rayan.
Among those who took refuge at
Vincent's home were his grand-
mother, Mrs, Laura McCann, his
mother Mrs. Thomas Ryan,
brothers Tom and Hue, sisters
Briget and Angela as well as
another of Vincent's brothers,
Joe Ryan and his wife Lynn.
Another place of refuge in the
village was the Wilfrid Hogan
residence. Mrs. Barb Hartman, a
granddaughter of Mr. & Mrs.
Hogan's, and her baby Eugene,
stayed with the Hogans until
power in their own home on the
Dashwood road was restored.
Mrs. Hartman is the daughter of
Mr. & Mrs. Jack McCann.
On this past Sunday, I gladly
curtained my studying for exams
and joined by parents and a
gathering of thirteen of my
relatives at our home as we
celebrated two birthdays. My
father's brother, Norman Salmon
of Zurich, and his sister, Mrs.
Jeanette Scott of London both
added one more year to their
ages in proper style.
On Tuesday, March 2, the Mt.
Carmel hockey team increased
their lead over the Malcolm-
Welding team in their semi-final
;;cries based on points. The two
'teams tied 2-2, but the one point
alotted for a tie was enough to put
the Mt. Carmel team ahead of the
Malcolm-Welding team four
points, the overall score being 6-2
as of March B.
On this past Monday sitting
nonchalantly in a field belonging
to Mr. Joe Dietrich was
something not often seen near
Mt. Carmel — an airplane.
Granted, the plane was not a
Lear jet, Concord or Boeing 707,
but a plane is a plane.
The small plane belonged to
Mr. Nick Jeromkin Jr. of Mt.
Carmel and the village was not
being altered in any way,. After
receiving permission from Mr.
Dietrich, Mr. Jeromkin made a
bumpy but successful landing in
the field with the plane which he
has owned since last April. Mr.
Jeromkin had previously made
landings and take-offs from the
air-strip at Centralia and was
eager to see if he could land a
little closer to home.
