Director of education John Cochrane told the board that there is no board by-law outlining the procedure to be followed if no candiate stands for election in a new year to any of the board offices, Cochrane said the board seems to operate on the assumption that at least one, and hopefully several, trustees will seek a chairmanship and that the situation would never occur, He indicated that the possibility was remote when the board had only to elect a chairman and vice- chairman but that the possibility becomes greater when six positions are to be filled. Board Chairman Herb Turkheim suggested to the board that any year that situation arises the outgoing advisory • committee or executive corn- mittee of the board be given the power to appoint trustees to chairmanships. Separate school trustee Eugene Frayne reminded the board that in a non-election year that situation would be fine but pointed out that in an election year there would be no guarantee that members of the executive Senior citizens enjoy turkey The Exeter Senior Citizens held their Xmas meeting Monday with a hot turkey supper for about 85 members although the weather was bad the turnout was good. The Legion Auxiliary served a lovely turkey supper which everyone enjoyed. After supper although some of the entertainers were unable to arrive cards were played by. some. Others sang christmas songs with Mrs Finkbeiner acting as chairman and Charles Hoffman leading. Mrs, Dougall ac- companied on the piano. The president Mrs. Rundle welcomed everyone and in- formed that the January meeting will be held in the afternoon at Ill2:30. ,The club will be trying af ternoons for several of the winter months. Please ask about these meetings. David Rundle and Miss Perry filled in for entertainment very ably with their music, , committee would seek re-election Or that they would be re-elected by voters. "The executive committee wouldn't be able to make ap- pointments until January and there is a possibility of trustees not returning to the board," said Fray fie, Turkheim said that if the matter was "referred" to the executive committee it would alleviate the situation of trustees not returning to the board. He said that if trustees failed to secure a seat on the board the new executive committee established at the board's inaugural meeting would be given the responsibility to ap- point people to chairmanships if no trustee new or returning, volunteered for the position. Colborne-Goderich township trustee Shirley Hazlitt said it would be a "sorry day for the Huron County Board of Education when not enough people on the board were in- terested enough in education to serve as a committee chairman." Turkheim reminded the board that no one is saying that there is not enough. interest from trustees to serve. He said what is being pointed out is that if the situation arises in any year the board has no policy to handle it. Later in the agenda board members were given an op- portunity to announce intentions to seek chairmanships for the coming year, Board policy is such that at the last meeting of the year trustees are given an opportunity to declare candidacy for board offices for the coming year. The election of the officers takes place at the board's inaugural meeting in the next year and before those elections the trustees are given a second opportunity to declare can- didacy. R.J. Elliott, Blyth, indicated he plans to seek the position of board chairman. Alex Corrigan, Wingham, will seek the post of vice-chairman. Jack Alexander, Wingham, and John Henderson, Seaforth, will seek chairmanship of the fiscal and property policy committee. Colborne-Goderich township trustee Shirley Hazlitt, plans to be candidate for the instructional staff and personal policy committee. Dorothy Wallace of Goderich is willing to chair the school program poliuy committee and no trustee in- dicated a desire to chair the student policy committee. An opportunity will be made at the inaugural meeting January 3, 1978 at 2:00 p.m. for trustees to announce intentions to seek of- fice. The board's first business meeting of the new year will be January 9, 1978 at 1:00 p,m. Canada Manpower Centre Manager, Ben Gey, recently announced the introduction of the Job Experience Training Program. The program is designed to help young people begin their employment careers and assist employers with the cost of hiring new employees. The program matches selected participatnts, as identified by the local Canada Manpower Centre with interested employers for the purpose of employment. Par- ticipating employers will be subsidized for a maximum of twenty six weeks with all agreements ending no later than May 31, 1978. During the period of training, the employer receives 50 percent of the hourly rate to a ceiling of $1.50 hour trainee to a maximum of $1,560.00 per agreement. To assist in delivering the program in the Huron County area Russell Shaw has been hired as selection and referral officer. Shaw's past experience includes: nine months as Plant Manager, Sheaffer Eaton, Goderich; five years as Plant Manager, Marlette Homes, Stratford; five years as General Manager, Lynshaw Glass Ltd., Brantford; Instead of bewailing the fact that we can't have all that we want, many of us should be thankful we don't get all we deserve. SHDHS report — Continued from Page 4 realistically. The politics, economics, sociology, culture and emotional state of Quebec is examined, Canadian art and literature are important parts of a student's education, names like Richler, Roy, Lawrence, Callaghan, Atwood, Munro, MacLellan are increasingly familiar, In other words if the un- derstanding of the Canadian character, the Canadian economy and Canadian cultural development depended more on what we tried to do in the classrooms of the schools and universities we would be further along the road to having a clearer view of the issues. But as we remarked before education goes on quite apart from the schools. Education "misapplied or misused can lead backward and downward. The hazard here is less in the classroom than in the home (or society at large). For good or bad the child is led in large parts by his peers and his parents, In other words classroom instruction is almost certain to lead in the right direction," It seems to me that in so far as developing an ,understanding of Canada, of its problems and its character this comment above is obviously true, If we fail to survive as a country, as a people, and as a culture with a significant degree of independence and • SO MISS identity it won't he because schools and universities have failed. It will be due to an over- whelming flood of foreign views and foreign attitudes mainly through television. It will be because "Eojalt, Hollywood Squares, and Laverne . & Shirley" have led us down the path of somnolence and lack of concern. American television is conquering Canada just as surely as any army could and the conquest is more insidious since it conquers ow minds. Schools and Universities in the formal educational proeess can try to "lead out" in the right directions for Canada as a nation, But it may well' be that the "feeding out" done by American. television may be tee 1)9v/eau) and too destructive. In this sense Quebec's survival may be easier to achieve than is the case in English Canada. Survival as an independent cultural entity will net be easy for Canada. The .schools are, indeed, pointing the way toward greater understanding but we may be losing. and six years as a salesman, Canadian Pittsburg Industries, Brantford.
