to the shortage as a
With today’s changing market,
there is a definite teacher shortage
but Bob Allan, Director of Educa
tion and Secretary Treasurer of the
Huron County Board of Education
(H.C.B.E.) does not see the situa
tion to be as acute as people are
reading.

referred
“media event’’ and stated that
with “our beautiful lakes and
country side’’ there will not be the
same hiring difficulties as larger
areas will experience.
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.

Harry Orr leaves Wingham with
pleasant memories. “The local
people in the area have been warm
and friendly to me”, Harry observ
ed. “I have gotten to know some of
them very well. I also feel a special
fondness for the staff at Wing
ham’’, Orr added. “They have
made my short stay here both
rewarding and enjoyable. It’s the
people you work with that can make
leaving so difficult.’’
Replacing Harry Orr, in the
capacity of Acting District Mana
ger, is Richard Manley, who is

As part of an effort to support

request for the transfer of the

County Museum Archives. Archive
Director, Claus Breede, is willing
to accept the records on condition

this would make the records more
accessible to the local historians
and genealogists. The transfer was

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.
According to French folklore,
eating cabbage makes you intelli
