BY DAVE SYKES The Huron County Board of Education could proyide a vital link with area industry through continuing education programs and apprenticeship programs in the manner of community colleges in the future. Don Longwell, director of training and development at Champion Road Machinery ire call Lucknow firemen were called to .a kitchen fire at the home of Michael Dalton, Ashfield Township, about 8:50 Tuesday morning, but fortunately, the fire was under control by the time firemen arrived. A pan of hot grease had set fire to the wall ----above the stove filling the kitchen with smoke. Betty Lou Dalton and her two children, Joe Morgan,. 4 and Elizabeth, 2 were in the house at the time of the fire. Mrs. Dalton called St. Joseph's S'chool. Kingsbridge and the principal, David Zyluk called the- fire department: Mrs. Dalton took wet towels and smother- ed the fire on the wall and wrapped a wet towel about the burning pan to carry it from the stove to the sink. Her two small children stood between the inside door and outside screen dooi• to escape the dense smoke in the kitchen. Mrs. Dalton was able to bring the fire under control by the tithe firemen arrived. The Dalton home is next door to the house of Pat O'Neil which was completely destroy- ed by fire Mareh 28. Ltd.; and chairman of the Huron County Industrial Training Committee told board members Monday that industry:takes a great interest intik secondary school level and the training programS offered. He added. that specific training or apprenticeship programs' could be inaplemented for the benefit of both the individual and industry. Longwell was instrumental in initiating the Huron County Industrial Training Cornmittee earlier• this year, a group representing industry in Huron County, and presently examining the training and skill requirements of those industriesjhe group is conducting an extensive survey of the county's industry to determine the needs and possibly involve the education, system in meeting those needs. "'We will find out what the training needs of industry are and ask the board to help meet those needs," he said. "The govern- ment provides funds for training but there could also be a co-operative education program between industries and schools both at the college ancf high school levels." While Longwell is advocating continuing education programs geared to industrial needs and sponsored by the board, the needs are diverse and sometimes, exacting. "There is a need for programs geared to management and executive development as well as switchboard skills, reading and general literacy," Longwell said. "Industry would support such programs and people wouldn't have to go outside the county for' training and developinent." Longwell also asked the board to consider a high school a.nerenticeshin program that has been implemented, by other boards. High School technical programs could' provide' specific -training as well co=oper.: ative on the job training with industry and the student would earn credit on his apprecticeship.
