To renew school medication survey
A survey which found
three years ago that nearly
11/2 per cent of students were
taking prescribed medica-
tion for learning and
behaviour problems will be
repeated during the current
school year.
Parents of 6,000 children
in= public and separate
schools of Middlesex County
and London were asked to
respond to questionnaires in
1975 and Middlesex County
Board of Education trustees
were told last week that
similar questions will be
asked again.
A brief letter from Dr.
Douglas Cram of the
Middlesex -London '- District
Health Unit also reported
that 6.3 per cent of students
were taking medication for
allergies and just over two
per cent for other reasons in
1975.
Dr. Cram's letter offered
no comment on the extent of
prescribed medication
found among children in the
earlier study. "There ap-
parently is concern among
the medical profession
about the extent of this type
of drug use", Director of
Education John Gummow

On another matter:
Middlesex trustees sup-
ported a motion that major
committees of the board in-
vestigate the feasibility of
developing community
schools in the county. "if
there is some way we can
open the schools to further
use, we should investigate
it". trustee Tim Blackburn
said.
A regional official of 'the
Ministry of Education in-
formed the board in writing
that a community school
grant will be available in
1979 for "boards able to
meet certain criteria."
The Concept is to use ex-
isting school buildings to
offer educational and
recreational programs- to
neighbourhood residents in
after-school hours..
School football. teams in
Middlesex are fading from
the gridiron. Middlesex
trustees authorized Lord
Dorchester Secondary
School and Glencoe District-
High School to sell their
football equipment "on the
understanding that the
schools will not need the
equipment in the future..."
"Senior football at
Strathroy is just in
mothballs for one year".
Mr. Gummow said.
"Strathroy plans tp be back
but Dorchester and Glencoe'
are out permanently." -

By JANIS LATTA
While most elementary

a definite upward trend.
Our school has become -so
popular that we've added an

kind enough to rent us their
basement for another year.
The cost of our two day
program is $15. per month
and $22.50 for the three day
program. Children come to.
us from not only Lucan and
area. but also Ilderton. Ailsa
Craig and Denfield.
The school this year is un-
der the direction of Ms.
Mary Lou Allensen, who•has
organized the' school into
different Centres of play.
She has an art centre where
the -children may work on
their own designs or are en-
couraged to make the craft
designated for the theme of
the week.
The sandbox is the next to
come. and after that is our
work bench: where the
children may hammer. 'saw
and nail to their hearts cop -
tent. The climber and tumbl-
ing mat' are' always popular
along with our band pieces.
wooden trucks arldblocks.
Little mommies and dad-
dies like to pretend in our
child size kitchen and doll
centre. Next is our reading
and music centre where the
children and Ms. Allensen
