With the sun shining and the
temperatures rising it would be
easy to be deceived into believing
that winter and school closings
are behind us. Because of the loss
of teaching days due to the severe
weather conditions it was the
decision of the staff to give up the
Professional Activity Days that
had been scheduled for March
and April. These days have been
rescheduled as regular in-
structional days.
This month we welcomed back
'our friends Cheryl Smith and
Richard Keelan with their
beautifully hand crafted puppets.
Their •presentation was the story
of Hansel and Gretal. Mr. Keelan
had written his own music to
accompany the play. He also
taught us a delightful song that he
had composed. Many weeks of
work by this talented couple go
into the creation of the scenery
and puppets.
Our own playground has been
inaccessible for several months
now. The snow is piled in banks
many feet higher than the fence
and our gate is hidden
somewhere under a mountain of
snow, For the past several weeks
most of our pupils have bundled
up to join the McCurdy pupils for

afternoon recess. There are
several willing children from the
Primary Wing who see that our
children have a chance to share
the equipment on the playground,
This week Penny Dinney who
teaches Yoga at evening classes
at the High School spent the noon
hour demonstrating Yoga poses
to the grade seven and eight girls.
Since a number of our pupils have
been practising Yoga positions
with Mrs. MacGregor for the past
two years we were invited to join
with the senior students and
participate in the poses. It is
impressive to see how flexible
our children are, and how very
well they are able to do this type
of exercise.
We also joined with 400 children
in the McCurdy auditorium to
listen to the band from the
Goderich District Collegiate.
It has been nearly six weeks
since we have had all of our
children at school at the same
time. Tom is still a patient at

He said the decision depends on
Toronto declaring the island
airport as part of the STOL
program and it is expected that
dicision may be made this year.
Huron County development
officer Spence Cummings ad-
vised Exeter council this vfeek
his committee is attempting to
have the airports at Goderich and
Huron Park designated for STOL
(short take off and landing)
service.
Cummings was on hand at this
week's meeting to outline the
work of his committee to cbuncil.
He said they prepare industrial
and tourist brochures for the
county as a whole and also for
individual municipalities. He
said tourism was one facet that
people should seriously consider
promoting, explaining that
8,000,000 people cross the border
into the southern counties area
and spend an estimated
$90,000,000 annually.
"It's a very important part of
our economy," he reminded
council members.
He showed council samples of a
brochure outlining the services
and facilities available in
Exeter and urged that if anyone
in the community knowns of a
firm wishing to locate, that he be
contacted so he could work on
behalf of the community to at-
tract industry.
"That could be just the spark I
need to go get them," he said.
C.P.R.I, Debbie is back after her
two week stay there but Jimmy
has gone down now to participate
in a special program.
We are hoping that Nelson and
Becky will soon be feeling letter
and that Susan's recovery from
her operation will be complete so
that she too can join us. These
children are missed by us all.
Okay grant
for studies
Adrian Vos, Chairman of the
Huron Power Plant Committee
(and representative of the Huron
Federation of Agriculture on that
body) has announced that the
Royal Commission on Nuclear
Power, better known as the
Porter Commission, has ap-
proved a grant of $2500 to fund
further study into ozone pollution
in Huron.
The funds will go to Dr.
Douglas Ormrod, a professor of
Agricultural Science at the
University of Guelph, to conduct
additional research arising from
a study carried out last summer,
That study, also funded by the
Porter Commission, cost S1,000
and showed abnormally high
ozone pollution throughout the
county.
The new study will involve
researching meteorlogical
records for that time period and
comparison- studies between
fluctuations in ozone pollution as
they relate to fluctuations in the
weather.
According to the 1976 Ormrod
study, sensitive crops such as
white bean, snap bean, radish,
sweet corn, potato, soybean, and
onion "would be expected to be
injured by ozone episodes."
"There is little doubt," Dr.
Ormrod said, "that ozone con-
centrations in Huron County are
quite frequently higher than the
threshold for crop plant
damage."

"Amazing!"
That was the comment of
Mayor Bruce Shaw after council
approved a grant of $50 for the
Huron Plowman's Association
this week.
He was apparently amazed in
view of the fact that council over
the past two years have turned
down requests for assistance to
various groups on the basis that
they are supported by local
citizens on a voluntary basis.
The motion to approve the
grant was unanimously sup-
ported by council.
