To renew school medication survey
A survey which found
three years ago that nearly
IV2 per cent of students were
taking prescribed medica
tion for learning and
behaviour problems will be
repeated during the current
school year.
Parents of 6,000 children
in public and separate
schools of Middlesex County
and London were asked to
respond to questionnaires in
1975 and Middlesex County
Board of Education trustees
were told last week that
similar questions will be
asked again.
A brief letter from Dr.
Douglas Cram of the
Middlesex-London District
Health Unit also reported
that 6.3 per cent of students
were taking medication for
allergies and just over two
per cent for other reasons in
1975.
Dr. Cram’s letter offered
no comment on the extent of
prescribed medication
found among children in the
earlier study. "There ap
parently is concern among
the medical profession
about the extent of this type
of drug use”, Director of
Education John Gummow

On another matter:
Middlesex trustees sup
ported a motion that major
committees of the board in
vestigate the feasibility of
developing community
schools in the county. “If
there is some way we can
open the schools to further
use, we should investigate
it”, trustee Tim Blackburn
said.
A regional official of the
Ministry of Education in
formed the board in writing
that a community school
grant will be available in
1979 for “boards able to
meet certain criteria.”
The concept is to use ex
isting school buildings to
offer educational and
recreational programs to
neighbourhood residents in
after-school hours.
Local bowlers take
points in Intertown
Saturday Lucan Lanes
played host to a team from
Clinton with Lucan winning
four of the five games. Glen
Gagan was the top bowler for
Lucan with 305 single and a
five game total of 1285. Don
Watt had 304 - 1228 and
Charlie Glenn had 280 - 1132.
Lucan Two went to
Stratford where they only
won two of the five games
but they had a higher total
pinfall and so they came
away with five points. Ken
Eaton had a fine day with a
361 single and 1416 total. This
single is the highest in the
Inter-Town league this year
and his five game total is
second.
Other top bowlers for
Lucan Two were Jim Smith
with 240 - 1093 and Ward
Ellyatt 300 - 1080.
The ladies team did not
fare so well. They went to
Zurich and came home with
a grand total of zero points.
School football teams in
Middlesex are fading from
the gridiron. Middlesex
trustees authorized Lord
Dorchester Secondary
School and Glencoe District
High School to sell their
football equipment “on the
understanding that the
schools will not need the
equipment in the future...”
“Senior football at
Strathroy is just in
mothballs for one year”,
Mr. Gummow said.
“Strathroy plans to be back
but Dorchester and Glencoe
are out permanently.”

Enrolment on rise
at nursery school
By JANIS LATTA
While most elementary
and secondary schools are
showing a decrease in
enrolment, the Lucan and
District Nursery School is on
a definite upward trend.
Our school has become so
popular that we’ve added an
afternoon session to our
program, along with our two
day morning and three day
morning sessions. The
Lucan United Church was
kind enough to rent us their
basement for another year.
The cost of our two day
program is $15. per month
and $22.50 for the three day
program. Children come to
us from not only Lucan and
area, but glso Ilderton, Ailsa
Craig and Denfield.
The school this year is un
der the direction of Ms.
Mary Lou Allensen, who has
organized the school into
different centres of play.
She has an art centre where
the children may work on
their own designs or are en
couraged to make the craft
designated for the theme of
the week.
The sandbox is the next to
come, and after that is our
work bench, where the
children may hammer, saw
and nail to their hearts con
tent. The climber and tumbl
ing mat are always popular
along with our band pieces,
wooden trucksYifftiblocks.
Little mommies and dad
dies like to pretend in our
child size kitchen and doll
centre. Next is our reading
and music centre where the
children and Ms. Aliensen
learn new songs, talk about
the theme of the week,
welcome their visitors and
read stories.

Throughout the year we
have interesting visitors and
many field trips to various
places of interest to a child.
Parents play an important
role in our school as it is a
co-operative school, mean
ing the parents run it. We
try to keep our costs down to
parents, so in return we ask
they donate some time in

running of the school.
Fund raising plays an im
portant role in our school as
we receive no grants nor any
financial backing of any
kind. Our moms have Regal
books right now if anyone is
interested and in October we
will be having a bake table
in the craft show at the
