OCT. 5 (2 PM) EXETER BOWLING LANES EVERYONE WELCOME By JACK RIDDELL MPP Huron-Middlesex Since my last column I have now received further information on the Canadian Home Insulation Program, which became ef- fective September 1, 1977. Ontario residents are eligible. The program is to be ad- ministered by the Central Mortgage and Housing Cor- poration, Montreal and the ad- dress is Canadian Home Insulation Program, P.O. Box 700, St, Laurent Postal Station, Montreal. Quebec. H4L 5A8. ,The Ontario Government has not as yet reached any decision on the fuel saver loan program, which they are considering in, traducing, This program is to complement the Federal Program. However, the Minister of Energy is hoping to make an announcement as soon as the present budgetary decisions for next year have been made, as to whether the Government will proceed with the program or not, Those persons who wish to participate in the Canadian Home Insulation Program may simply call the nationally ad- vertized loll free number or mail a self-eliminating coupon designed for that purpose that appeared in local newspapers, or they may write to the CHIP Office to obtain an application subsidy, Clarification of published information about the program will also he provided by phone by the CHIP office. National advertizing about the Program started on September 1, The CHIP Office will send to the applicant a kit consisting of: 1) contents/eligibility checklist. 2) Letter from the Minister 3) grant application form 4) guide to filling in application form 5) (a) guide to rules of eligibility (b) list of acceptable insulation material 6) guide on how to insulate in- cluding - 1 page and postcard to request FMR Enersave and "Keeping Heat In" brochure. 7) Envelope - postage paid - to send in grant application form, The applicant will submit an application supported by the original invoices once the material has been installed, A taxable grant will then be issued to the applicant on an eligible housing unit, CHIP inspectors will carry out at random, post-inspections to ensure all eligibility requirements were met. Price monitoring survey will also be conducted. As indicated in my last column, the telephone number for the Canadian Home Insulation Program in Montreal is Area Code 514- 341-1511. You may call collect. Students are back in school: most of them have even straightened out their time-table problems, This would seem to be an appropriate time to reassess Ontario's educational system, particularly in the light of two new developments: the in- troduction of mandatory core curriculum studies, with new teaching guidelines; and the establishment of a government commission to study the effect of declining enrolment, In the late 1960's, the .philosophy of freedom of choice with respect to courses was in- troduced into the school system, under the aegis of the then Minister of Education, Bill Davis. The Government interface Study of November 1976 confirmed criticisms of the Liberal Party and general public that high 4,544,4445, school students were graduating from school ill-prepared for higher education or participation in the work force, Last. October 6, we released a comprehensive policy paper, suggesting "New Directors for Education", much of which has been adopted by the Provincial Minister of Education. Man- da tory courses have been established for Grades 9 and 10, and over two years students must take 2 English courses, 2 Maths, 2 Canadian History and/or Geography, and 1 Science. Current senior students (Grade 11,12 and 13) are required to take 2 English courses. While in- troduction of core curriculum at the intermediate level appears difficult, in fact most students The organizing committee for the third annual Van Egmond Foundation Ciderfest has decid- ed to hold the festivities again on the grounds of the Van Egmond House on Sunday, October 2. It had been suggested that Ciderfest be held this year at the Community Centre, but it was felt moving it from the House would result in a loss of "at- mosphere", Dorothy Williams, chairman of the event, said that she had spoken to a number of people and they all felt that having Ciderfest at the arena would definitely "Lose something". Based on the great success of last year's Ciderfest, it was decided that much of the cider would have to be prepared in ad- vance. Terrence Hussey said last year we were 20 or 30 gallons behind the demands-always, when there was no reserve supp- ly, and there was only one press working. There will still be the cider press at the Festival to demonstrate the making of the beverage, but cider will be ready ahead of time too. Last year, one press made about 300 gallons during the day, It was decided this year that there will be a Country Market stall selling fresh produce, homemade jams and jellies, candles, etc. Mrs. Grace Hussey is organizing the booth. Mrs. Williams said a campaign would have to be mounted to see, if "we couldn't scare up some apples and vegetables from around here" and asked people to call her if they have windfall apples available. Canned goods are fine too, for the Country Store. Lots of people buy a couple of cans of stuff-they have chosen these same courses in the past. The new "refinements" are intended to guarantee that all students receive a sound basic education. However, there are several problems which, hopefully will be resolved hn the near future. Core curriculum applied only to students entering Grade 9, and there is no assurance that students in higher grades (or entering Grade 10) from another school will receive instruction in these essential subjects. Also teacher guidelines which correspond to core curriculum have come under heavy criticism for being inappropriate, poorly focussed, lacking fundamentals and vaguely outlined. This is especially true with respect to eat one, and nobody'll touch the second. We could use it, if it's not going to be used otherwise,"she said. Besides the Country market, there will also be the ever pop- ular sausage burgers or "Big Van's" that went over so well last year. Farmer's sausage will also be made fresh that day, as it has been for the last two years. There will be demonstrations of honey extraction, butter chur- ning, rug making and violin mak- ing. The Committee is trying to arrange displays of antique quilts, Egmondville pottery and demonstrations of spinning and shingle cutting. • ' Anyone interested in volunteering to help at Ciderfest on one of the many committees, is asked to call Mrs. Williams at 482-3326. Hear speaker at Huronview Mrs. Anne, St. Jean was guest speaker at the September Huronview Auxilliary meeting held in the Craft Room Monday, September 19. She gave an' in- vitation to the opening of the day- care centre to be held on Sep- tember 30 from 2-4 p.m. Plans are for the centre to be open five days a week. The meeting was chaired by Mrs. C. Colclough and opened by all repeating the Lord's Prayer, followed by the treasurers report and the roll call which was an- swered by thirteen members naming their favourite fruit. Discussion followed regarding the Bazaar, Bake Sale and Tea October 19, The meeting ad- journed and cake and tea were served. History, called "Canadian Studies", and Maths. Senator Eugene Forsey has described the Intermediate History Guidelines as "a mass of fluff". The Maths guidelines are not mandatory until the fall of 1979. Canadian Geography is still not a required subject. Last October, the Minister of Education made the point that 'curriculum guidelines will be revised to ensure that every student knows enough about our History and our Geography „. ' Yet a later directive from his Ministry makes it clear that students could take either one History and one Geography, or two History courses, thereby avoiding Geography. Although these new initiatives do give students and teachers some direction, they will not produce instant results. Parents would be well advised to keep a watchful eye on their children's progress, and the extent to which the new developments haye af- fected programmes of study. The Provincial Commission to study Declining Enrolment was proposed by the Minister of Education during the June Provincial Election as away of resolving complex problems resulting from a surplus of available teachers and reduced school financing. Two months after the Election, the Minister announced establishment of a Commission, headed by Robert Jackson, to study the ramifications of declining enrolment, and submit a report on its findings within one year. Mr. Jackson, a former Director of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), has considerable experience in studying the effects of declining enrolment. However, he is somewhat handicapped by being forced to work with no fewer than four enrolment predictions for Ontario, all of which 'differ. All four project a continuing decline for the immediate future, but some envisage an increase in the mid- 1980s, while in other in- stances a levelling-off or con- tinuing decline is predicted for this period. Mr. Jackson has, however, described the future enrolment situation as looking "pretty grim". Public input would prove a valuable asset to the Commission in its investigations. Local groups and parents need to consider how communities can best cope with education costs in relation to the changing character of ,education institutiorrs;• iie. ,schoolnfacilitiest will continue to be costly, but with proper planning can absorb local gymnasium/auditorium needs, day care requirements, continuing education and hobby instruction, Special education needs must be met - possibly by retraining surplus teachers. It is also essential that the community ensure that the quality of education does not deteriorate as a result of government financial restraints. Hopefully, the Commission's report will prove to be of great assistance in planning for future educational requirements, ' FISHERMAN'S COVE GRAND BEND 63 RIVER ROAD FISH & CHIPS CHICKEN & CHIPS SHRIMP & CHIPS LIGHT LUNCHES Eat In or Take Out Grand Bend 63 River Road 238-2025 N G 0 Wed., Sept. 28 8:30 P.M.
