Summer vacation time is here and they will have young children under • `their supervision, all day long, -for the next two months. They will have to come up with answers to persistent questions of "What can I do?" . Most youngsters are, at first, joyously, exuberant with release from —attending classes. This, all 'too soon,: evaporates and they, are bored. Then "good old Morn" has to come up with suggestions of activities that will keep them happily occupied and out from under her feet. By the time septernber rolls around mothers are out of ideas and exhausted and welcome the return of the offspring to the classroom. There teachers must take over the task of control and educat- „. ion, for the greater part of the days and Mothers can relax. * * * * * * • This is the „season ' of weddings and graduations.

Few young couples realize, in the dazzling glow of young love, how, many ,adjustrnents in their ,,,way of life must be made in marriage. When one, and often both, at the same time embark on a career, it must take mature young adults to cope with it all at once. * * * * * * The July, 1st "weekend will mean hOliday weekenders . and vacationing• families crowding the highways seeking the sun and the waves in a multitude of summer reSorts. Let us hope that none of them are in such a rush to reach their destination that they forget caution on their way. It would bp sad, to say the least, if they were to find themselves in hospital instead or even worse, someone on a mortuary slab be- cause of their carelessness. Take it easy! Drive Carefully! Have a happy lively holiday. * * * * * * Mothers will have some help in entertaining their youngsters this Summer.

She 'said that too much was discussed in the committee meet- ings and then it was not brought out at board meetings. She noted the reports of the superin- tendents especially which im- pressed her but this information was not getting to the public. She said to be well informed she should be going to the stand- ing committee meetings (educat- ion committee, management committee) as well as the regular meeting. She said she found the regular meetings dull because so littke was discussed there. She cited as an example of board business done in COM m ittee was the budget which was passed in committee of the whole and not given to the news media until nine days later. Mrs. Wallace said it was a cumbersome way for the Board to operate when it took a Month. to ratify a decision when the answer should be given every two weeks. E. Cayley Hill, Goderich,, Chairman of the Board, said the public relations were very important and the Board had a duty to the public, but that the responsibility was at the board level. "That has to be ,'the dorninent role, public relations must be secondary" , he said, "I think we have to determine ourselves to administer and per- form our function. I believe the committee system has operated functionally very well." Mr. Hill said that it' was not their job to entertain the publiC but that they should try to make the meetings as interes- ting as possible. He said he had asked that the agenda for the committee of the whole to be kept to a minimum. Mr. Hill said, "It's a question of time. I believe without the committee, system the meetings went -on 'too long. I think it was' considered by the Board that by using the committee system items could be given more attention.
