Understanding?
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. ..

Where The High Winds Blow
David walker, the author of
"Geordie" has written another
Powerful novel of which the New
York Times writes "Head and
shoulders above the usual suc-
cess-novel.""
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-

Toronto critics picking on Mar-
,lene Dietrich when that lovely
creature graced Hogtown recent-

' Perhaps I'm a little warped
on the subject of Miss Dietrich.
She was the first woman in my

there was more than one sex.

Anatinees, In those days they
had them twice a week, after

Saturday show.
I had been threatened with everything front the children's

been licked several times; my
mother had given p e r s on a 1

that I was not to be allowed in,

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. Nor can I convey
