Hold first 1967 unit meeting About 60 leaders gathered at the town hall in Walkerton on Sunday afternoon to learn de- tails of the Saugeen District Boy Scout Tour of Quebec and the Maritime provinces.

In this latter town the On- tario boys will be the centre of a great deal of attention, for the New Glasgow Scouts and their leaders have decided that their particular centennial pro- ject will be to entertain the visitors. After the tour leaves New Glasgow it will cross over to Prince Edward Island for a visit to the birthplace of Can- adian confederation at Char- lottetown and an overnight camp at Brackley Beach, The return trip will take the boys to Woodstock, N.B., Que- bec City, where they will be guests of Les Scouts Catboliques du Canada; Brockville, Ontario, and back to their own Saugeen territory.

The worship service was given by Miss Violet Beswetherick with thoughts on the New Year. She was assisted by Mrs. Crosby Sotheran reading Scripture and Mrs. Wm. Clyne offering pray- er. A solo," On Higher Ground" was sung by Miss Minnie Mc- Elwain. The new year program was convened by Mrs. Harold Wal- lace and Mrs. Norman Hard- ing. Customs of many count- ries were discussed. Mrs. Wray Cooper, unit leader, presided for the busi- ness. Roll call was answered with a suggestion for the com- ing year's program. The reports from 1966 indi- cated a very active year. Miss Minnie McElwain volunteered to be social convener. The ladies quilted during the afternoon and a pot luck lunch was enjoyed. interested in providing the spec- ial assistance which the child- ren in such classes need, Mr. Harris asked if the test- ing will be completed and the inspector said this is definitely the case. Mr. Kinkead stated that he is of the opinion, although he cannot be certain until testing is complete, that the school does not have sufficient pupils to warrant an opportunity class, but probably does require a re- medial class. He reiterated that a recommendation will be made to the board in March. Some discussion took place in regard to the desires of par- ents whose children are not making good progress at school. It developed that the responsi- bility of enrolling a child in an opportunity class rests with the parent and not with the school, if such a class is available. Mr. Harris said the boardhas been accused by parents of stall- ing on an opportunity class but he said such is not the case.He claimed that the board has the authority to establish such a class but the necessity must be shown by the Department and the school staff. TRUCK OVERTURNS Gout appears in men much more frequently than in women, WROXETER--Sullivan's truck from Ethel, driven by a Mr. Blake of Brussels and loaded with eight tons of fertilizer skidded over the shoulder of the road ,and upset while passing a car on County Road 12. The driver was not injured but the truck was considerably damaged. Continued from Page One said this is not suitable for many children who might be considered for attendance at such a class. On the other hand, the in- spector suggested that it might be better for the board to con- sider a remedial class rather than an opportunity class, due to the fact that it does not ap- pear there are sufficient pupils in the school who need full- time special attention which an opportunity class would provide. A remedial class, Mr. Kinkead said, can provide intensive teaching in subjects where a pu- pil is having difficulties. It can mean the child will spend most of his time with his normal grade but will leave to take re- medial instruction in any given subject. Mr. Kinkead did not make a final decision on this question but said testing will be com- pleted next month and a recom- mendation will be made to the board at its March meeting. He explained that a specialist in testing from the Department of Education should have been at the school last week but was held up by poor driving condi- tions. Board Chairman William Harris said it is imperative that the board know what moves to make as it will be necessary to equip a room and to hire a teacher if either an opportunity WROXETER--Mrs. McLen- nan, Lochalsh; Jackie Schill, Formosa; Mrs. Ferg.
