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, Act4.11.$ 44 K4 -0.4) 1,4414 4fir-w X ?ago* Werr-3 407 PI-4A tie.fvof,g$ 2.*1 SLi cicS mil(' ,./s4e.i-S Gi_pleJ •thi ,ri-iiL To R. 4.4r orCrs 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.

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. K. Peck, B. Robertson, W.

SWkOtt4 — 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." PAUL SALMON MI. CARMEL 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.
