The Education Committee re­ commends that the Huron County School calendar year commence September 5, 1989 and end June 29, 1990. During that time there should be a minimum of 186 teaching days with up to nine professional development days de­ signated according to school or panel needs. In addition, it was recommended that the Federation of Teachers designate April 30, 1990 as a planned day while the Administration or Board officials should designate October 23 and 25, 1989. These two days were selected in order to give elemen­ tary and secondary teachers the opportunity to visit each others’ schools. Finally, there was a re­ commendation that secondary schools have up to 14 examination days. The Board approved all school year recommendations. It was noted that action must be taken at Brussels Public, Blyth Public, and Turnberry Central Schools to preserve library space by the placement of portable classrooms. Consideration is also being given to Walton Public School. Victoria Public, Wingham Public, and Robertson Memorial Schools will be able to wait one more year for portable placement while Colborne Central, East Wawanosh, Grey Central, Hensall, Holmesville, Seaforth and Hullett Schools must forfeit or reduce their special education space.

When the Great Wall of China was built an Oriental version of sauerkraut - made with cabbage and rice wine - was part of the laborer’s diet. Even though the Chinese probably knew nothing of vitamins, the vegetable’s generous amounts of vitamins A and C would help to keep the workers healthy. Rev. George Ball of Milverton was the guest speaker at Calvin- Brick United Church and Knox United, Belgrave on Sunday morn­ ing, March 12.
