effective January, 1977. The in-
crease from $150 a month to $162
a month for each trustee was ap-
proved in a recorded vote asked
for by Ted Geoffrey who voted
against the increase as did
Ronald Marcy.
Superintendent William
Eckert reported on the
professional development day
held last week on the reading
program in the schools. He said
the teachers commented most
favourably on the workshops.
Trustee Gregory Fleming, the
only trustee who attended the
session, said it was well organiz-
ed and praised the program.
Chairman Mickey Vere attended
the luncheon only as he was
working.
John O'Drowsky questioned
whether it would be possible for
parents to attend some of the
professional development days.
He was told the auditorium was
filled with teachers at the last
P.D. day. Mr. Vintar said a
larger hall could be considered,
Reports were given on the
public speaking contests held in
which the separate school
children had been most
successful in several centres,
The teachers who had provided
the extra training for the
speakers were commended
highly.
A presentation on library sup-
port services was given by three
teachers: Mary Margaret
Cassoni of Immaculate Concep-
tion School and Mary Lou Shantz
of St. Joseph's School, both of
Stratford, and Barry G. Linden
of Ecole Ste. Marie, Zurich.
Superintendent William
Eckert, under whose direction
the presentation was made, ex-
plained that while most schools
have library resource centres
other schools have only an area
for library books. He said the
students are instructed in the use
of the library resources in the
school so that they gain informa-
tion and appreciation of the
resources. He showed slides
showing the library as a child
centred place for learning
The three teachers gave detail-
ed outlines of the uses of the
libraries in their shcools as the
students progressed from
kindergarten class to grade 8 as
they acquired library skills in us-
ing and enjoying the library
resources.
John. Vintar, Directdr of
Education, reported that prin-
cipals in the various schools are
dealing with the problem of fill-
ing the gaps caused by missed
classes due to the winter storms.
He said in some schools where
the children are bused the prin-
cipals may decide to shorten the
noon break by 15 to 20 minutes;
in some schools pupils may be
given extra homework to do; and
in some schools individual
assistance to certain selected
students or those requesting help
may be all that is needed.
Mr. Vintar said at a meeting of
the principals on April 14 it
would be determined if these
methods closed the gaps or if
further measures would be taken
such as eliminating a
professional development day.
Mr. Marcy suggested each
principal sent home a note with
the pupils the method his or her
school will be using in dealing
with making up the lost time.
The remark was made that two
of the parents complaining about
students missing school during
the bad weather had pulled their
children out of school early for a
holiday in the south.
Chairman Mickey Vere in-
dicated he was planning on atten-
ding the official opening of
Education Week in Windsor on
April 16-17.
Vincent Young, chairman of
the negotiating committee, said
that negotiations were con-
tinuing and everything seemed to
be going well.
The first meeting in April will
be held on April 12 as the regular
meeting date of the second Mon-
day of the month is Easter Mon-
day,

laying a sheet of black plastic
liner at the bottom of the pond.
Beginning with a highly con-
centrated, solution of salt and
water, water containing
decreasing amount of salt is
layered in the pond.
The densest salt-water solution
remains at the bottom and,
because of the natural insulation
of the salt-gradient pond, is
heated by the sun.
The salt solution prevents the
natural convection currents
which normally would circulate
the heat throughout the water.
Using a heat exchanger, the hot
water at the bottom of the pond
can be pumped through heating
pipes and returned to the pond.
Water temperature at the base of
the pond can reach boiling point.
Mr. Lemon says solar ponds
are now being used in the United
States to 'warm soil in
greenhouses, It would not be
difficult to convert a hotwater
heated home to the solar pond
system.
The solar pond can store
energy during the summer for
use during the autumn and winter
months. To store more energy it
is necessary only to increase the
depth Of the pond.
Despite the advantages of the
solar pond, there are still some
problems. If the top of the pond
freezes, sunlight would not filter
through to heat the water at the
bottom, Ponds would have to be
covered to prevent snow, ice,
leaves and other debris from
covering the water surface,
