North Huron students get French enrichment Not only did Aaron Cardiff of Brussels Public School get to take part in a two-day French language enrichment program at his school last week, but he got to sample a truly French delicacy, a ‘chocolat eclair’. The Brussels Public School was the host for a French enrichment program for Grade 6, 7 and 8 students from six north Huron schools last week, an event that several participants termed “a fantastic experience.” Brussels Public School teachers Gabriele Boettcher, Margery Hue- therand Lynne Henry planned and organized the program, which saw 20 students take part in two days of French-oriented activities, which included musical activities, mak­ ing up and playing french-langu­ age games, the production of a drama in French, videotaping, and even a meal of French food. Mme. Boettcher said that the program was vastly different from a “French immersion” session, in that English was used where necessary, and that the French­ language aspect of the session was designed as enrichment work in the language, and to make the students comfortable in everyday usage of the language they all study weekly in their home schodls. She said the students had been chosen on the basis of either all-round excellence in their school work, oronthebasis of superior ability in French. The two-day session was part of an ongoing enrichment program offered to exceptional elementary school students in Huron County. Taking part from Brussels Pu­ blic School were Aaron Cardiff, Jay Hahn and Greg Mulvey; from Grey Central, Sandy Earl, Ann Morton, Katie Rowbotham and Jason Koet- sin; from East Wawanosh Public School, Jenny Chettleburgh, Ian Morton and Lana Thompson; and from Howick Central, Cindy New­ ton, Brenda Baumgarten and Jason Potts.

February 3 regular meeting of Morris council. Earlier this year, Grey had notified the Industrial Committee that Grey Reeve Leona Armstrong would be replacing the township’s original representative, Graeme MacDonald, on the committee. The misunderstanding arose after Hugh Hanly, industrial committee presided over the business. It was decided to pay the Brussels Council the balance owing on the installation of the carpet in the library basement. Mrs. Jim Bridge and Mrs. Malcolm Jacobs are leaders of a short course “Short Order Meals.” Anyone interested in this course are asked to contact either of these leaders. The Institute is having a cook­ book published and it should be ready for sale by July.

The Cancer committee consists of Mrs. Jane DeVries, Mrs. Jim Bridge, Mrs. Clem McLellan and Mrs. Bruce McCall. The motto “The goal of citizen­ ship is not to think alike but to think together, ’ ’ was given by Mrs. Alex McLeod. The roll call “Something other than water that we take for granted” was well answered. Mrs. Mervin Pipe gave some Valentine poems. Mrs. McLeod introduced the guest speaker, Pastor Doug Zehr, who showed slides and told about his 10-week stay in Israel. His thoughts were based on Luke 1: 79, “to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet in the way of peace.” Nine year old Angie Yoon thrilled everyone with two beauti­ ful piano selections. Mrs. Pipe thanked her and Pastor Zehr and gave them a gift. A Valentine dessert was served by the lunch committee. secretary, sent a letter to Grey Council praising Mr. MacDonald’s contribution to the committee, and asking Grey to consider re-ap­ pointing him as its representative. Grey Township sent back a letter to the industrial committee saying that Reeve Armstrong is a worthy candidate to the committee, and that it had no intention of changing the appointment. Upon receiving a copy of this letter, members of Morris council immediately wrote back to Grey advising that the Morris Township representative to the industrial committee, Deputy-Reeve Clem McLellan, had merely intended to imply that Mr. MacDonald had done excellent work for the committee, andwouldbe sorely missed, and not in any way imply that Mrs. Armstrong was unsuit­ able for the position. MorrisTownshipclerk Nancy Michie said that her council members were very concerned that there might have been any misun­ derstanding about Mrs. Arm­ strong’s abilities to fulfill the position.
