The subject of Family Life
programs/- sex education - in
Huron County schools came full,
circle at Thursday's Board of
Education meeting when the
;board decided to develop guide-
lines for teachers of the health
program. The guidelines are
primarily for the board and its
staff members to be assured that
a curriculum has been developed
across the county and ,that all
schools are dealing with the same
material.
The ;decision ended several
months of discussion .on • .the..
Matter, discussion .tbat "2-b
.
:'"`began .
;when elementary ,school ,teacbers '
met with some board,members to
discuss methods of teaching. the
subject. The teachers were not so
concerned with what they should
teach but how. They 'Were
questioning what type of display
to use, what films and books
could be used and what' type of
material was being Used in the
rest of the county.

After 42 years with the
Bluevale Post Office, Mrs. Elsie
Smith retired last week. Ten of
hose years were spent as
postmistress.
"It'll seem funny tomorrow
mornine" she said last
Wednesday, her final day on the
ob. After 42 years of opening the
post office doors at 8:30 a.m. it
certainly would seem strange not
to do so.
Instead, Mrs. Smith plans a
np to the east coast and then to
ravel west. ;
Mrs. Smith and her husband,
he late Alvin Smith, started at
he post office in 1935 when
horses were used to deliver mail
n the winter.
"A model "A" or "T" was
used in the summer" she says.
Besides automated mail delivery
llowi Mrs. smith says the number
pr people in the area has
increased considerably since 1935.-
't' In 1967, when her husband
became ill, she recieVetl the
ppointnient of postmistress,
In 1935, the office was in the
-.eater store, next door to where it
snow, It moved across the street and then to its present location.
Marie Walker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Joe Walker, RR#4,
\Vigilant comtriericed duties as
postmistress when' Mrs. Smith 1eft. Mr. Sutcliffe, supervisory
Pc'stnlast6ri has been helping
noted that the recommendation
before the board was to develop
teacher guidelines at a secondary
school level and added that while
the first delegation was elemen-
tary school teachers the education
committee, of which she is a
member, had met with members
of the GoderiCh and area Pro Life
gro'up who were concerned about
secondary school material. She
suggested that the board
establish guidelines fof'the whole
system.
John Cochrane, director of
-education, told the board that the
recommendation was made to
•
develop rationale behind the
courses. He said that the idea was
to give the teachers direction but
to also enable the board or the
teacher Ito answer a parent when
they ask why something is being
taught.
Goderfch trustee Dorothy
Wallace said she could, recall the
board going over this same
subject not too many years ago
Miss Walker, get acquainted with
her duties.
The two mailmen'for the area
presented Mrs. Smith with a
cheque for a subscription to 'the
Wingham Advance Times.
On Sunday morning at the
United Church, Rev. Wilena
Brown conducted . Holy
CommuniOn service. Mr. and
Mts.ThomaDunn were received
as new mehibers by transfer of
certificate from Willowdale.
Rev. Brown's meditation was
"The God You can't iel'rid of,"
using as her text, John 16:22,"I
will see you again."
No church service was held
June 26 as it was annual
"Visiting Sunday." Rev. Brown
will be on a vacation for a month
and will resume her duties on
July 31. She will be visiting in
Nova Scotia and attending the
special events planned for her
mothets 90th birthday. She also
plans to spend some time at
Princeton University.
Rev. Larry King will be in
and it seemed to be the general
consensus then that someone
from the outside teach the course.
She said the concern was that the
teacher felt uncomfortable
dealing with sex education and
then trying to teach the same
group of children another course.
Eugene Frayne, Ashfield
trustee, asked if the course could
be expanded to something a little
more' than just health. He
suggested that the course be
introduced in a Matter manner
enabling it to be taught , with
reasoning developed from
Christian morals.
"IS it possible to have health
taught with an option' that the
parent and . student can decide
on?" he asked. "One course
could be; just health and the other
could be health backed up. with
good .strong Christian morals.
They have it in math and english,
why. not in health?
. Mr. Cochrane said he could see
no reason why the courses
couldn't be.taught:in that Manner.

adding that "off the top of my
head I would say it is something
that the education committee will
have to sit down and come to
grips with.••
TM! board accepted the
recommendation to set up a
course "which will encompass
concerns expressed by some
parents so , that • subjects
considered to be of a delicate
nature are dealt with in a tasteful
and inoffensive manner, reflect-
ing the moral standards of the
community.''
