He told us why people steal in this way. Most of those guilty had money to spend but didn’t use it. They were charged and will have a criminal record. It is very em­ barrassing if you steal something like gum or other dumb things. You will also be the talk of the town which will make your friends and neighbours disgusted. The fact of having a record is inconvenient for the time when you want to go to a professional school, to get the job you would like or to have a passport to travel. Constable Wilson told us that cop is a good name because it stands for Constable on Patrol! Dan Dittmer and Jim Beaver Aquarium — This year some new projects have been contributed to the school halls. One very eye-taking thing is the new aquarium. Six fish are in this large aquarium.

The Drama group performed ‘The Lion That Wouldn’t’. When I interviewed room 8, the reaction I got was that the play was great. Students from room 8 said it was comical. They especially liked the circus lion. They enjoyed the actors. There was a total of fifteen actors. Eight of them came from Stephen. The play was based on this circus lion who had a problem. He didn’t like his occupation. He dreamt about being a baseball pitcher, a teacher and a movie actor but because he was a failure in these jobs, he decided to return to his old job of being a circus lion. Doug Woodburn Bus Patrols — ‘Sit down and get your feet out of the aisle’, is an almost all too familiar quote on our bus. Even though the bus patrols have an important job they do not take their work seriously and are treated with disrespect. In my opinion bus patrols are unnecessary and are un­ worthy of an award bar at the end of the year. Perhaps other pupils would like to reply to support or challenge this view. Drop comments at Rm. 8 or 3. Pauline Brand TRUCK DAMAGED — This truck was badly damaged when it caught fire while parked inside the Waterloo St. garage of Sweitzer Excavating around 1:00 a.m., Friday. It was pulled from the building by one of the firm's backhoes. The building itself sustained some smoke and water damage.

BUY NOW BEFORE PRICES INCREASE By JEFF SEDDON Paul Steckle, Stanley township deputy-reeve, ask­ ed for the support of Huron County council Friday for his efforts to get more money for the county health unit from the provincial ministry of health. Steckle told council that he had joined represen­ tatives of six health units in Ontario, Huron included, to present a brief to minister of health Dennis Timbrell ask­ ing the province to fund 75 percent of the operation of the health units rather than the smaller percentage now paid by the province. Steckle said Huron County and 12 other health units in the province are not receiv­ ing 75 percent provincial funding. He said six of the 12 receive 60 percent funding and six units in Toronto receive 25 percent. Huron County receives 50 percent.. The deputy-reeve said the delegation that visited Tim-, brell.to ask for more money tried to find out why some health units received less provincial money than others. He said Timbrell was aware of the situation and was sympathetic, to the units not receiving 75 per­ cent-funding. He added that the minister could not tell the group why that situation existed but did say that the province was in the process of developing standards for health units in the province. Steckle said Timbrell in­ dicated the standards were in the making but could not say when they would actual­ ly come about. He told council the total amount asked for by the health units getting shorted by the ministry was not a hefty sum. He said Huron county’s share of the in­ crease amounted to about $140,000. He added that all six health units could be appeased with $1,072,000 which is about two percent of the total the province shells out to health units in Ontario. He said the money asked for was less than half of one percent of the total health budget of Ontario. Steckle said he could see no reason for Huron County not to get the 75 percent fun­ ding. He said the Huron health unit offers the same type of services as units in larger areas citing family planning, immunization clinics and school health screening as a few of those' services. “It seems to me that the province changes health ministers quite often and I don’t know if the present minister is procrastinating, is indecisive or has no long term philosophy for the province,” said the deputy­ reeve. Steckle told council that the delegation that met with Timbrell “didn’t get what it asked for” but added that council could be sure the request “wouldn’t stop with this”. He said he planned further meetings with the provincial body because he felt Huron county was “deserving” of the extra money. He added that he planned to see the county ac­ commodated “if it was at all possible”. He said about all county council could do at this point was throw its support behind the delegations as a show of force for the minister. He said he hoped to have a more positive report for council in the near future. Club leaders meet Each year hundreds of rural adults share their knowledge with rural youth by volunteering as leaders for 4-H agricultural clubs in Ontario. More than 150 club leaders will meet in Toronto, February 9 and 10, to im­ prove teaching techniques and leadership skills. This year’s theme is the fundamental concept — motivation, says Janet Horner, public relations officer, Extension Branch, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Training sessions will focus on self-motivation and methods of motivating young people. Highlight speakers of the conference include John Flynn, youth specialist for the Ontario Ministry of Culture andRecreation, and Dr. Ralph Dent of the University of Toronto, who will discuss positive and negative reinforcement.
