At the same meeting one severance application was recommended for approval and a second was denied. The application of Allan Hayter at Lot 12, Concession 22 was approved and the request from Charles Dietrich at Lot 27 South Boundary Concession was approved.

Four schools sent entries to be judged. Winners were chosen in two divisions, grades 5 and 6 and grades 7 and 8. The winners in each divi­ sion received $25 awards and the second place entries were given $10. Cathy Hogan, Precious Blood, won the grades 5 and 6 division, followed by Den­ nis Kints of the same school. Both are in grade 5. George Tomes, a grade 7 student at J.A.D. McCurdy School won the senior divi­ sion and placing second was Cheryl Cann, a grade 8 stu­ dent at Usborne Central. The winning entries are reprinted below, each being entitled “Why I am Proud to Bea Canadian”. Hospital plans 'on schedule' Plans for the addition to South Huron District Hospital are going “pretty well on schedule” according to administrator Elmer Taylor. Taylor told the T-A Tues­ day afternoon, “We expect drawings to be completed within four weeks to allow the calling of tenders and it is hoped construction could begin within another six weeks or so.” Cost of the addition is es­ timated to be in the range of $600,000. It will provide about 6,400 square feet in floor space on the main floor. It will provide for new emergency and x-ray departments on the main floor along with an out­ patient laboratory and an administration area. A partial basement will allow for a complete physio­ therapy and laboratory departments. Administrator Taylor said completion of the addition will allow for separation of out-patient services and those requiring in-patient attention. He added, “It will be a great help in the control of traffic and patients. I iBe readers writ Dear Sir: I , object strongly to the present teacher strike throughout the county of Huron. Common sense implies that both teachers and the board somehow be forced to accept arbitration. Without it, we the students are simply pawns in a conflict which ignores completely the fact that our education, and consequently our futures, are being jeopar­ dized. Unfortunately, this fact seems to have been totally ignored. In any event, the use of strikes to settle differences is a weapon of antiquity. They were fine in the 1800s when used against the coal barons in the U.S.A. But the coal barons are long since dead, gentlemen, and this, we are taught, is the 20th Century. Sincerely, Rene' Kirmse 5B S.H.D.H.S. By CATHY HOGAN Canada means a lot to me. It is the second largest nation in the world. Only Russia is larger. My country stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, a distance of about 4,000 miles. To the Nqrth is the Arctic and td'the'South is the United States. Canada is a land of beautiful scenery. It has mountains, hills, trees, bushes, flowers, brooks, streams, rivers, lakes and even more. One of the most beautiful places in Canada is Niagara Falls. Another reason why I’m glad to be a Canadian is that Canada is a free country. We can worship as we wish, we don’t have to be told how to worship. Also we can choose our own leaders, and change them every four years. In Canada we can go to any school that we want to. We also are free from discrimination. Justice is for all in Canada. When some-thing bad happens we don’t just get thrown in jail without a fair trial. We go to court and get to tell the facts to the judge. Also the punishment is not as bad as in some countries. Canada has a very good welfare system. It lodes after old people that can’t look after themselves. It also looks after families and children with no parents. Another beautiful aspect is the forests. Different people help the wild life. There are some signs that say that you can go hunting and some say no hunting. That way we have a good amount of animals. I like Canada a great deal. If I ever go to visit another, I am always glad to come back to Canada. By GEORGE TOMES I am proud to be a Canadian because of the vast expanses of land that stretch far beyond where the eye can see, farther than the nose can smell and farther than the ear is able to hear. I am proud of the woodlands that are bounding with creatures of all kinds and birds of every species. The tall trees Which tickle the clouds with their branches and the lakes, rivers and sea that are bounding with fish are resources of which I am proud. I am proud to belong to a country that is cordial to neighbouring and distant countries. A country that has freedom of speech and the freedom of the presses. A country that has many different creeds of people and different religions living in one united federation. A country that is able to cope with the problems facing modern countries such as pollution and inflation. I am proud to be a Canadian because of the freedom and the ability to express my own thoughts. In some countries, rulers would shoot anybody who spoke out or disagreed with them. I’m proud of the fact that the Canadian government will listen to people who have help or criticism. Canada is a fine country and I am proud to be a part of it. By MRS. J.

He said his largest class was 26 students, pointing out that in a 40-minute period the teacher does not have time for individual work with the students and so has to treat them all like one. The senior student said that what really bothers him is that “no one is willing to tell students what’s going on”. He said that when factory workers go on strike nobody really cares except the company and the workers but when teachers go on strike “they’re fooling around with our education.” He said the teachers won’t tell the students about the situation because they can’t. He said he phoned a trustee and was told that he “shouldn’t worry because it didn’t involve him”. “They’re not making a product, they’re trying to form people,” he said. St. Jean said he didn’t mind the interruption of education if he had some assurance of what it would do to his school year. He said he had a summer job that was based on his leaving school in June. He explained that if the school year was extended to make up time lost due to the strike it may jeopardize his job. He added that the two or three weeks may mean the difference in earning enough money to go to university this fall or delaying university for a year. George Robertson, a parent of a student in grade 12 in Goderich, said he at­ tended the board meeting to try to understand the situation. He said he had learned nothing. He said he was trying to determine if the board was trying to hold the line on education expenses or correct a situation that was wrong. Robertson said his daughter was “caught in the middle” of the strike situation. She said she doesn’t know from one day to the next if there will be any school, adding that when teachers do work they apear “bitchy” because of the contract problems. He said his daughter was concerned about getting her year. He said he told her that she would be going to college this year but added that the best he could do was “parental assurance”. He said that if the strike proved to be lenghty he would seek private tutoring for her. The parent said his daughter is confused about the situation because of the number of accounts she has heard. He said he had little doubt that she was being taught by some teachers in favor of the strike and some not in favor of it. He said the difference in attitudes by the teachers has not enabled her get a clear picture of the situation. He said as he reads the situation from attending the board meeting, it seems to be a “light issue to strike over” but added that it seems to have greater im­ plications down the line. “I just tell her that one way or another if she’s got the ability she’ll get her year,” he said. One collision, one shoplifter Only one accident was investigated this week by officers of the Exeter town police department. It occurred Wednesday afternoon at 5 p.m. at the intersection of Highways 4 and 83 at the north end of Exeter. Involved were vehicles driven by Ronald Kenney, Centralia and Peter Fejkl, RR 3, Dashwood. Constable Jim Barnes was the investigating officer and set damages at $1,600.
