Clerk Wilmer Wein reported that only 440 dogs have been liceneed in the township so far in 1977. Last year's total was about 600, The licence fees have been increased from $8 to $12 for the firOt dog belonging to any one property and $22 for each and any additional dogs. Council authorized clerk Wein to hire personnel to check the township for dogs who are not properly tagged. The township has a bylaw in effect which calls for a fine of $50 for failing to secure the proper dog licences. Wein said one charge laid during 1976 for failing to obtain a licence has been settled out of court. Permission was given to the Police Village of , Dashwood trustees to hire their own building inspector. The change was made to allow village trustees better control of building expansion within their limits. At the same time, Dashwood trustees were allowed to increase their tax rate by five mills to allow the purchase of more fire fighting equipment. User rates on the Grand Bend water system were increased to take effect July 1, 1977. The all year-round property owner will find his rates raised from $38 to $62 per year. anniitintiumitintiiiiiiiiitin l i lll In 111111 1111L' 1 YAMAHA -1-Believe it . . . :....

The Huron-Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board approved the extension of the Family Life program in the next school term to the pupils in kindergarten, grades 1, 2, and 3, at a meeting of the board in Dublin Mionday night. The prOgram was started in the spring of 1974 with grade 8 pupils at St. James School in Seaforth, then to all grade 8 pupils in the separate school system and this year to the grade 7 pupils as well. Ronald Gladding of Stratford, co-ordinator of the Family Life program, said it was started with the older pupils "to meet a particular and immediate need" but now he said it is the opiliion of most educators that the logical and most effictive area to begin with is the primary grades. The pupil at this level is assuming Students will display talents Over a thousand Middlesex County school students will perform at Alumni Hall, University of Western Ontario, when they present their annual spring concert on Thursday, May 19, at 8:00 p.m. • Among those performing will be choirs from 26 elementary schools, concert bands from Lord Dorchester, Medway, and Strathroy secondary schools, String ensembles from Southdale and Colborne Street Public Schools in Strathroy, the concert orchestra from Strathroy District Collegiate Institute, and stage bands from Medway and Strathroy secondary schools.

All choirs will combine with the bands for "The Happy Wan- derer" and a medley from "Fiddler on the Roof", Under the direction of Lansing MacDowell, music consultant with the Ministry of Education, teachers and students have worked for many weeks preparing for the concert.

"Many opportunities arise in primary grades that allow us to help children learn about their bodies, emotions, and the dif- ferences between boys and girls", he stated. "We learn best by following a logical progression with concepts building gradually on one another. If we can begin in the primary grades to guide the children according to Christian principles, then we can provide a firm base for the child's growth." He concluded, "in the primary grades we would like to con- centrate on the three areas of family, growth and relationships. In sharing ideas and feeling on these topics, hopefully we can develop and strengthen positive attitudes in the children towards their own self-worth and towards understanding and respect for others." The board gave Mr. Gladding and the Family Life Committee (composed of parents, teachers, priests and trustees)authority to prepare curriculum for the primary grades. This curriculum will be presented to the trustees this fall for their approval and implemented in the classrooms in January or February, Mr. Gladding said the curriculum would be presented to parents at an open meeting so that they would know what their children were being taught. He said the teachers would be having workshops to prepare for the program. Superintendent William Eckert said the program would be maintained in Grades 7 and 8. There are 29 teachers in the 19 separate schools who have taken the Family Life course at St. Jerome's College in Waterloo. It has provided a base of background information and teaching methods, Fifteen teachers have signed up for the course this summer, with their tuition fees paid by the board for the three- week course. This will result in all the schools in the system having at least one teacher in the school who has taken the course with the exception of St, Mary's School, Hesson, where none has volunteered to take the course to date. Religion consultant for the board, Theresa Woods and Mary Kennedy, both of Stratford, at- tended the board meeting with Mr. Gladding to present the Family Life report, Okay PD days The board approved the dates for the nine professional development days to be held by the teachers next school year— September 12, October 17 November 4, December 9, April 14 and 28, May 12 and June 29 and 30.
