Goderich assistant department head George Young said the teachers evaluated the books that were mentioned in the com- plaints from some parents and "it was difficult to find anything objectionable in the books". He said students see the ugly side of life through some of the books and the hope is that this will enable them to escape it in real life. Goderich principal John Stringer said special interest groups questioning the books should be heard and said it was good as it forced teachers to ex- amine and re-examine those in use. . However, he said that this was a "pressure group" and by demanding the removal of the books, they were in effect at- tacking the schools, "Once the books have been selected, then any successful pressure cripples free enquiry in the classroom," he said, adding that other teachers would also become vulnerable to pressure groups. He said the school should educate students to face real life with open minds and the knowledge that problems can be solved. SHDHS department head Sherwood Eddy noted that most of his "thunder" had been stolen by the previous speakers, but said that he does not hold up the dirty words and sex in the books as a model of behaviour. He said the books were simply a stimulus for discussion and added that they were being dis- cussed by young adults and not little children. "Some (students) are more adult than you and I," he suggested. He said charges of immorality worry him. "Students are as moral — or more — than we," he said. Eddy said he was puzzled by some of the authors being at- tacked and suggested this was a major mistake. Student council president Phil Knight said students have their views on life and that of their parents and the books give them an opportunity to examine others. He said taking the books out of the school would deny students ANDREW DOUGALL Andrew Dougall of the Bluewater Rest Home, Zurich passed away on Monday, April 25, 1977.

WILLIAM VENTIN At Parkwood Hospital, Lon- don, On Sunday April 17, 1977, William J, Ventin formerly of Usborne Township, Beloved husband of Joan (Arnold) Ventin the opportunity to examine some realistic situations outlined by the authors. Fellow SHDHS student Blake Palmer said students are not corrupted by these books and said they were not dirty books. "We have to look at something besides four-letter words and sex," he said, adding quickly that there were more important things to worry about. "People seem to think we go into English class and swear for an hour," he lamented, explain- ing that they delve into theme, character and thereby get a look at themselves and come to grips with what they want out of life, Principal Joe Wooden said that the process of examining books to pick out objectionable sections was a meaningless exercise. He admitted the books may have some language offensive to some, but emphasized that the books must be judged in their totality and consideration given to the fact the words suit the Compromise is suggested Only brie "compromise" over the debate on the books used in the English departments of secondary schools was made at. Monday's meeting at the Huron County board of education, While most of the department heads, principals and students defended the books and asked parents to trust them in their selection and use of the texts, Seaforth principal Bruce Shaw did suggest that parents be in- vited to participate in the choosing of books. He suggested each school district could establish some kind of discussion group to review and discuss the books used in the schools. He suggested that parents and teachers sit on the group. "Teachers needn't feel threatened," he commented, adding that teachers don't have exclusive rights in determining what they teach students. The Exeter Mayor said that at the present, any time a discussion of this nature comes' up, the teachers get defensive and the public get offensive. "Neither side really listens to the other," he said. of London.

"It's wrong to assume teachers dwell on them," he told the board, "or that the students are corrupted by the words." In order to look at the times in which they live, it was necessary to provide modern literature for students. He noted it gave them an opportunity to grapple with man's place in a struggling and changing world. He said the criticism of the books could be dangerous and suppressive. Board member Dorothy Wallace said it distressed her to hear that "Mice and Men" was considered immoral by some. "I remember it with utmost pleasure," she remarked. Fellow trustee John Henderson wondered why "The Diviners" was only included on the course at SHDHS. Eddy said it fitted his theme for the grade 13 class, but noted he would encourage other schools to use it, Henderson then wondered why that book had been banned by some other school boards. Ms. Tiffin said she found it dif- ficult to understand why it was banned, saying that it was used at Wingham as supplementary reading and she would defend it for "senior class use". Trustee J. Alexander asked if the books used in the senior grades would be accessible to those students in junior classes and he was advised they probably would be. Seaforth department head Calvin Caldwell noted that most of the books were available in paperback form in book stores. He said it was important to choose a book that was of in- terest to the student and said the modern books were needed. "They are not trash," he com- mented, adding that they can often promote interest in the classics and Shakespeare. "There's not one I would hesitate to teach," he said of the titles mentioned. He said the books show bad ex- amples as well as good and they are then used as springboards for discussion. Principal Bruce Shaw said students were not influenced adversely by the vocabulary in the books. "Schools do not con- done foul language by having books with foul language in them," he explained. Board chairman Herb Turkheim said the board would hope to make some decision on the books at their meeting next April 2a, 1977 Page 3 PC's choose new presdent Bill Amos of McGillivray township is the new president of the Huron-Middlesex Progressive Conservative Association, Mr, Amos took office following the resignation of the former president Elmer Hayter of Stanley township at the annual meeting Thursday night, Mr. Amos expressed his ap- preciation for the hard work done by Mr. Hayter in his term of office and announced he is to be the first recipient of a Past Presidents plaque from the association in appreciation for his years of service. The Conservatives in the riding have not spoken up enough in the past remarked Mr. Amos. Everyone must speak up about the concerns facing this riding, he said adding people in- volvement is the name of the game. Mr. Amos encouraged everyone of the two hundred people present to go out and recruit five people to become active in the campaign coming up.
