Men and therefore don't need to lge

males might tell you; it isn't that
the: subjects taught at the night
school are slanted to suit the
women rather than the 'men; it
isn't a clear-cut case of today's ,
house wife having more time on
her bande, Plain fact is that the
Women are. more interested in
learning and more interested in'
Making things.
Take the case of Mrs, who Is
attending a wood-working class
at the Wingham High School, She
Was in the proceSi of making a
bookcase this Week, and she said
that she Was taking the course
because she couldn't trust her MIS,
band to construct a bookcase good
enough for• the home! Mind you
the lady. was honest enough' to ad-
Mit that ,perhaps she virouidn't be

to be the most important. function
of the tight class pupil and the

Which Miss Dorothe CoMnet, ,hcime
economics teacher, Passed :on, for
was ilie•the. needle, and
thimble are almoit never used for
dressmaking any More. The mod-
ern electric sewing machine has -
made them obsolete, she explained.
Miss Comber was teaching about
fifteen ladies the art of dressmak,
ing, and net pupils had• come from
BruSsels,, Teeswater, Lucknow,
Belgrave• and.Wingham.
"These ladies are taking our first
year course. They are taught the
fipulamentals 'of Mime dressmaking
during this early training and go
on to more elaborate sewing tech-
niques later," she said. •
In another room a group of wo-
men were bent over test -tnbes and

in the process of any alai* devel-
opment but were intent on a more
important project as far as they
were concerned. They were mak-
ing capper and •alumlnum etchings
Under the watchful eye of E. Lit
Stuckey, who teaches the art-
metalwork class.,
The remark of one of the ladies
in the class, Mrs. W. Murray, of
typifies the, outlook of
the pupils at -the. sehocil to adult
learning. When asked what she
Would do with her etching when
it was co,mpIeted, She,said that she
Would probably, put' it in a frame
and hang it on her wall at Itorne,•
not, because she considered it a.
work of art, but that it would al-

Organizations, in Huron.. County
may.soon be able to have a film
service from various centres with-
in the county. Films available will
be of, a type useful in planning
programs. •
thes.:/.,Tatineel. Film Board is of-
fering 'to assist 'in the 4 eStn140-
ment of such a service' in litirori
County providing there is stiffi-,‘
cent interest to support it. A meet-
ing to' consider the possibilities is
to be held in the board room of the
Department of Agriculture in
Clinton at 8:00 on Thursday, Nov,
ember 29, Anyone interested will be
welcome.
This proposal is' that a County
Film Council will be organized
which will be made up of represen-
tatives of interested groups and
areas. This body would be respon-
sible for setting up /rules and regu-
latiens, promoting interest in the
film service, securing , films and
assisting in the organization of
filin outlets. Promotion of effective
film use' through training in tech-
niques in introducing a 'film to a
group, as well as, in conducting
film discussion, would come within
the area of interest of this body.
Outlets for the films may be
provided from various centres in
the county, serving the centre and
the surrounding area. To adminis-
ter this service alocal film council
or film committee may be organiz-
ed, It's duties would be to provide
a booking service for the films,
care for the films while they ate
in the area, train operators 6f pro-,
lectors, and promote the effective
use of the thins. Thus depending
on the interest ,shown, it May be
possible to organize a County Filth
Council with anywhere from 'four
to seven local film councils under
its jurisdiction. The films would be
placed in blocks of around twelve
films each and rebind circulate
periodically. Initially it will be
necessary for the National film,
Board to supply flints on loan.
These Mins will be' information/11
hi nature 'and will be particularly
helpful as program aids for many
orgenizationa.
