The date for the commfencement of final exams was the latest the board could have used to meet ministry of education requirements to have the school year completed by the end of June. In a recommendation to the board, Director of Education .John Cochrane said the four days was all the board could add to the school calendar. He said recent moves by the board had added 14 more instructional days to the 1977-78 school calendar over the previous year meaning only 13 in­ structional days were lost over the. 31-day strike compared to the previous school year. The strike/lockout situation which began in Huron February 15 and ended April 13 closed classrooms in the county for 31 days. The board picked up some of those days by cancelling mid-term exams (six days), eliminating the need for course review for those exams (three days) and benefiting from a storm free winter which allowed schools to be open five more days than the previous winter. Cochrane asked the board to consider other moves which would assure con­ tinuous classroom in­ struction until the final examinations began. He suggested that athletic activities during regular school hours be eliminated except with the prior ap­ proval of the director, the elimination of student field trips during class time, elimination of professional development activities during class time and general discouragment of special leave for teachers. The recommendations were approved by the board. Huron low in accidents EXETEft 235-1640 , LONDON 227-4191 Huron County's Largest Ford Dealer Let us take care of your car.

According to a report of the Farm Safety Association of Ontario, 309 or 14.9 per­ cent of the total 2078 lost­ time injuries in agriculture occurred in Haldimand- Norfolk. Larry Swinn, public relations coordinator for the Association, says the main reason for the large number of injuries is the concentra­ tion of tobacco, fruit and vegetable operations in the area. Tobacco, fruit and vegetable operations, because they employ large numbers of part-time un­ skilled labor, have traditionally reported high numbers of agricultural in­ juries. Ranking second in farm injuries was York region with 275 or 13,2 percent of the total farm accidents in 1977. This figure is up more than three percent from last year. Mr. Swinn feels the inten- sity of the nursery, landscape, fruit and vegetable operations is part of the reason for the number of injuries. Horticulture and landscape industries ac­ counted for more injuries than any other commodity in 1977. Middlesex county farmers incurred 137 or more than six percent of the total in­ juries, while Niagara region, famed for fruit and vegetable production, ac­ counted for 5.3 percent or 111 of the total injuries. Ranking fourth is Elgin county, part of the province’s tobacco belt, with 100 or 4.8 percent of the injuries. The number of farm in­ juries reported for other On­ tario counties and regions were: Oxford, 97; Simcoe, 85; Essex, 81; Wentworth, 74; Brant, 72; Ottawa- Carleton, 72; Halton, 69; Durham, 66; Peel, 57; Waterloo, 56; Grey, 47; Kent, 41; Lambton, 32; Huron, 29; Perth, 28; Wellington, 23; Northumberland, 22; Leeds, 21; Bruce, 16; Hastings, 15; Prescott, 13; Renfrew, 13; Sudbury, 11 and Prince Edward, 10. The statistics were com­ piled by the Farm Safety Association of Ontario in cooperation with the Workmen’s Compensation Board of Ontario. waig Lions plan cleanup By JOY SCHEIFELE Saturday morning, May 13, the Ailsa Craig and District Lions Club members will hold their annual •'Spring Clean Up Drive”.

Photo by Scheifele East Williams raise $310 Pupils aid Bunny Bundle By JOY SCHEIFELE AILSA CRAIG A cheque in the amount of $310 was handed to C.F.P.L. announcer Mark Lade Friday morning by eight students representing the children and staff at East Williams Public School. The money was raised by individual projects by the various classrooms. Gum chewing was quite noticeable among the grades 6 to 8 one day, but no discipline measure's were taken by the staff. The boys and girls simply paid a fine and happily continued chewing. However, all proceeds were added to the Bunny Bundle kitty as part of the school’s project to raise money on behalf of the crippled children., In addition the students had a carnival and gong show, sold popcorn and used books, and donated the money from their regular once a week hot dog sale' rather than including it in the student fund. Two classrooms were encouraged to sell themselves briefly into slavery for the cause. Friday morning students Charlene McNair, Ricky Rosu-Myles, Bannister, David Janice Rees, Twynstra, Wendy and Marcey delivered the cheque for $310. to C.F.P.L. announcer Mark Lade on behalf of their fellow students.
