The condition which SHDHS board attached to its invitation to district teachers to hOld one of their educational conferences here is indicative to us of the unhappy lack of understanding and trust between these two important elements in our educa- tional system. The board ruled it would not permit• the dis- cussion of teachers' federation business during school hours. Behind this, to some degree no doubt, is the antagonism which has developed over salary demands spearheaded by the teachers' organization. The federation's objectives, however, include much more than the establishment of a realistic salary scale for teachers—it is attempting to raise the stand- ard.S of its members, among other aims designed to provide better education and more qualified teachers. It, is hardly likely the board's condition will encourage the teachers toward these latter objectives but rather spur them on to the former. Such actions help to increase the friction which has developed in recent years. But by no means are the boards alone to blame—the teachers' organization has done little to establish better rela- tionShip and clearer understanding of its purposes. The liaison between the groups needs improvement. merit of industry is essential and the training of tradesmen here will, help to attract them. This may appear to be the question of which comes first, the egg or the chicken?—the industry or the tradesmen? But if, in providing its youth with the training required for Security in employment, Huron can at the same time build up a, reserve of skilled labor which will encourage its own develop- ment, it will be rendering a two-fold service. All of these considerations, we feel, are per- tinent yet only an intelligent and impartial survey Of the county's needs will determine what type of practical training will best serve our youth. This study should not be restricted to that of the need for an agriculture school 'but for other training as well. It is amply evident that more practical train- ing is a requisite. The question of how to provide it will not be easy to answer but some definite steps must be taken in that direction.. Wd must remember, however, that it will cost money to provide that train- ing and we must be prepared to make the investment required to secure. the return we anticipate. .. 1:0•NeriflataMeellitrffeeSNINStet Metelateekete.... dispensed by Bill Smiley 4,101 Published Each Thursday Mernitig At Stratford, Ont, Anthistitsci as Se4end Class Mall, Post Office Depiti otteWA We misery with which, I realized she thought so much of that big jerk, Cooper. * * * For about three months, I was literally sick with love.

Simon Kepple (Husky) Skafe is the hero who dominates the story. Two years as a trapper on the Mackenzie River taught him to love the harsh life of We North and opened his eyes to the opportunities that lay 'there. The vision he saw in his youth remained the driving motive be- hind his subsequent triumphs. Of course in the process he acquired great riches and en- joyed the full power he under- stood so well but always that early vision remained his ambi- tion — to open up the North, to exploit its vast potentiality. • It is a powerful Canadian story.

Commendable interest has been shown by ,,,.ntimber of groups in the provision of more practical 7-•,tr.a....bling for Huron county youth whose talents are ot inclined toward formal education pursuits, Bather, the Clinton collegiate 'board, Women*s Institute, Federation of Agriculture and .other groups 4 a „ urged the establishment of a technical khool in the 'county. Now, Huron members of the OFU have re- quested a survey to determine the need for an agri- "0414'0 vocational school. Both suggestions have merit and deserve study, ,- not in the interest of any particular group or factiOn, but with the interest of the student in primary focus. The proposal of an agricultural school definite- has merit, primarily because Huron's biggest as- set is its good farm land. In addition, present-day .farmers will be the first to agree that, with the - startling technological advances being made in farm production, this important vocation requires more basic knowledge and training than ever before. It is no longer a matter of being able to drive a tractor, hitch up an implement on the PTO—it requires care- ful analyses of soils, proper fertilizer application, and many other facets that involve much more than a willing back. However, some doubts arise as to whether an agricultural school is the entire, or best, answer. One wonders at the lack of student interest in the excellent agricultural course which has been in operation at SHDHS, Despite its record of providing top agricultural training among Ontario secondary schools, students have not shown the enthusiasm for it one might expect. The other question arises out of soundly-based predictions of the decline in farm population over the .years ahead. If, with the rapid ,advances now in progress, three farmers soon will be :able to produce what five do now, the opportunity in farming will become limited. It well may be that, -even with the forseeable decline in farmers required, the need for a county school remains but careful study should be made to determine this. It is true that there is little industry in Huron county to warrant the establishment of a technical School. Yet, if we agree that fewer farmers will be required in the future, then there must be some training ,provided for the many other students who will be forced to take up different pursuits. Current unemployment figures significantly reveal that by far the greater majority of those out of work are un- skilled laborers, Huron does not want to send its sons ,and daughters out to join these ranks—we have a duty to provide them with adequate training to en- sure them of a respectable and rewarding vocation. Further, it can be argued that one of the "easons why Huron lacks industry is because it does not have sufficient skilled labor to man the various types of manufacturing and assembly plants now being established in Ontario. It most confidently can be pointed out that, in order to provide employment •for future generations of Huron citizens and to en- sure stability and growth in the county, the entice- Sugar and Spice • It made my blood boil to see Toronto critics picking on Mar- ,lene Dietrich when that lovely creature graced Hogtown recent- :1y with, her theatrical presence, They made the brilliant dis- 'covery that Marlene can't sing, and, annoyed her with puerile • questions about being a grand- - mother. • Of course she .can't sing, and never could, But she can make -the skin crawl on the back of your neck with that husky snarl. -And, grandmother or not, there .Is more sex appeal in one long .look from above those haunting =cheekbones, one twist of that :heart-broken smile, than in all u r strutting, hip . wiggling pouter pigeons of half her age. ' Perhaps I'm a little warped on the subject of Miss Dietrich. She was the first woman in my •life, the first member of the op-- .:t (tate sex who made me realize there was more than one sex. • ;I was ten years old at the time, Don't tell me you can't fall in love at ten.

T knew she wouldn't marry =any ten-year-old kid. All I want- ed' to do was think about her and nurse my pain to myself. It happened at a movie, I • was a ,young devil for going to Anatinees, In those days they had them twice a week, after sehobl, as well as the usual Saturday show. I had been threatened with everything front the children's aid to the reformatory; I had been licked several times; my mother had given p e r s on a 1 orders to the theatre manager that I was not to be allowed in, and still I went to the matinee every time I could find enough empty bottles to raise the price, I'd arrive home about 6.40 p.m., my inner glow from the movie a buttress against the outer glow I would have shortly on my butt. At any rate, I fell for Dietrich in a movie called Morocco, about the Foreign Legion, in which she appeared with Gary Cooper. I didn't realize it at the time, but Miss Dietrich had the role of a woman of ill repute. I thought she just worked in this bar, maybe as a singer or som e thin g. She sang, in that whiskey tenor of hers, and I was en. chanted. She smiled, that rue. ful, knowing smile, and I turned to molasses. She winked, that naughty wink, and I twisted my hands until my fingers cracked, She smoked, with that myster- ious elegance, and my heart leaped painfully within me, I thought I would burst with pride and devotion when the picture ended with her forsaking her job at the casino to follow Gary into the desert. The last shot showed her, barefoot in the sand, dragging a goat, as she struck off after the Leg*, with the other women camp-followers, I can't describe the gallantry with which she threw back her hair and gave a splendid, brave smile as the desert wind struck in her face.
