Unfortunately it is so seldom we hear of the good things Qur young people do and there is some good in them all if given the oppor- tunity. That little pat on the back can be a great boost to any of us and is so important to pass that credit on where credit is due. Congratulations to Joyce Klages and her volunteer group for their interest and dedication to the young people less fortunate that themselves. Keep up your good v'ork !

Sincerely, Carson R. Janes Major Public Relations Officer Sir: At the Thursday meeting of Director retires Continued from front page "As you know the year 1984 will see the beginning of a large number of changes in the school system. All of these announced changes are going to require heavy emphasis on long range planning. In my opinion it would be incon- siderate of me to become in- volved in such planning and then leave before it was finished or the resulting pro- jects started. Such a move would be unfair to the board, to the staff, and to the students, not to say anything about being unfair to a suc- cessor who would have to in- herit my work, whether he or she agreed with it or not. I believe very firmly that the person responsible for any long-term planning. should also be the person responsible for the implementation and the successes or failures," said Mr. Cochrane. Mrs. Wallace commented, "he has endured a mixed bag of experiences front the time when we had to search for ways to spend enough to qualify for our grant monies (although this isn't the case anymore), through dealing with fractious trustees, through the unpleasant memories of a strike, through changes in board and ad- ministration methods of operation to mention only a few and has done so with firmness, conviction and equanimity. We shall miss him." Cochrane started teaching in September of 1949 in Kemp- tville. He was there for two years in 1951 then went to Mississauga where he went through the various positions of teaching, department head and vice-principal. On January 1, 1960 he arrived in Clinton as the principal of Central Huron Secondary School, He left Clinton on Ju- ly 1, 1965 and then he became a school inspector with the Ministry of Education out of Woodstock. He served the four counties of Norfolk, Ox- ford, Brant and Perth. Mr. Cochrane stayed in that posi- tion until January of 1969, when he became director of the new county board of education in Huron. The director of education was born in Toronto and went through the Brockville school.

His plans fqr retirement are not definite, but he plans to do things he hasn't been able to do because his job came first. He did say he and his wife, Lina, may tjo some travelling. He may also do some volunteer work which he knows has to be done. Presently a resident of Clin- ton, Cochrane intends to re- main liying in Huron County.

McDonald began a series of sermons on Sunday entitled "The Fears People Have". His sermon topic on Sunday was "The Fear of Financial Setback". The winds of economic difficulty are blowing these days with unemployment and financial setback. Worry distracts us from thinking about God and when we leave God out of life's pietOEre, we cut ourselves off from his power and are left to drift with the winds of time. The senior choir with Mrs. Belva Fuss at the organ led the ministry of music and Jim Parsons, John McAllister, David Rowcliffe and Randy Parker ,were the ushers.

We contacted theconvener and suggested lunch on Satur- day for both a boy and girl. We were told that this ap- peared to be acceptable, but if not we would be informed in good time.
