'courses have limped along and in the
majority of Ontario schools are virtually
non-existent. This happened f variety of
reasons -- their controverial nature -- a
dlivisevness born- out of diverse interpreta-

materials and lack of support from the
Ministry of Education.
Months of research, and a strong public
endorsement indicated in 'a series of public
meetings involving parents, teachers, sec-
ondary school students and clergy convinced
the V '& M Committee and its consultants
that a Program emphasizing moral reasoning

Huron County Council learned Thursday
that the county's tourist induStry is not
reaching its potential.
Ken Hawkes; distriet manager of tourism
in this area, told: county council the county
should be doinsbetter Oan eighth out of 19
the-PrOvince'S tourist districts.
• The mid-western Ontario' district which
includes the counties of Huron, Perth,
Wellington amt-Waterloo, ranked ninth oaf r.
of 10 in the amount of income generated by
the industry last year. Some 102 million
people touring the area spentsemel4 billion
but Hawkes said "there. is. ...room.. for
improvement".
He, said this area should be doing better
but the industry has to 'be developed.
The tourism dollar spins off right through
the 'economy of the area said' Hawkes.
Figures show 16 cents out of every dollar is
spent in retail sales and Miscellaneous
purchases in this area. ,
Tourists' in 1976 spent $11 million on
accommodation in the four county area, $47
million on food, $32 million , 'at serVice
. stations, $8 million on recreation' and the
total 'income that year was $154 million.
Figures are available for last year but are not

categories.
.flawkes told county council the tourism
industry in the province is second only to the
automotive industry-aild-ii nla---)-i--'1'altotild go
• and grab hold of the future". He said One of
the problems with tourism is it is the
• "invisible industry".
• Statistics show that tourism means 300
jobs, in the county. One camp ground and a
major hotel employ 100 people alone.
Hawkes said the county has a. "charming
atmosphere" which sheuld be developed to -
the advantage of the county.
