°"If we ontinue to sow this kind of stuff in the minds of
young pe le we will sow to the wind and reap the
whirlwind,' he said.
Clarice Dalton said Gaunt's response was the masttpositive
the CWL had received but added that the ladies had not
received any negative opinions. She said all they were
basically after was to have those three books removed from
the curriculum list. She said they were not seeking total
censorship of English novels.
"Everything is censored a certain amount today," she said.
"We just can't do what we want. We're not imposing
anything on them any more than they are imposing on us but
there's lots of books available without using those three."
She said she had not read the novels but that the exerpts
from the three were "proof enough". She said the students
didn't need that kind of material. She said of the three ,the

this world" with "nothing Left unsaid". She said she realiie
that there is probably nothing in the novels that the student.

Bruce Board disapproves
change in school year
Bruce County Board of Education is not in favor of
changing the school year organization.
Jack Bowers, director of education, said that before
responding to a request from the Grey Bruce Separate
School Board, about considering changing the school
year, he sent a questionnaire to all principals in Bruce
County asking if they favored the -change.
`Ninety-five percent of the principals were in favor
-the the traditional school year while six percent were in
favor of the new organized year," Mr. Bowers said,
He mentioned a few reasons principals were not in
favor of the change - spaced breaks, September to
Christmas, Christmas to mid -winter break and mid-
winter break to June, are most conducive to learning.
- hot weather in late June and early August could
affect the learning process adversely;
- if there is a long winter holiday, then more time is
spent in reviewing;
- except for storms in February and January, these
months are productive learning times;
- air conditioning in the hot weather would equal the
costs of heating the schools in January;
- it would affect seasonal employment for high
school students ;
- rural students are needed more on their farms, in
- summer;
• - staff would perform better with spaced breaks ;
- less potential for school activities;
- any change should be province wide; and,
- teachers' summer courses are geared towards
traditional year schedules.
