dominate the professional
development day agenda for
the Huron County elemen-
tary and secondary school
teachers on October 30.
Superintendent of
education R. J. McCall said
activities are open to the
public. He noted secondary
school activities would take
place at Goderich District
Collegiate Institute and
elementary activities will be
divided into four areas.
A highlight of the day will
be a presentation by Don
Holdaway of New Zealand,
presently on the faculty of
Althouse at Western Univer-
sity, London. Mr. Holdaway
is a renowned authorityin
the area of reading and will
be speaking at GDCI in the
afternoon.
Morning topics at GDCI,
range from time manage-
ment to buildingself-esteem
in the classroom. Speakers
range from faculty
members of Western, to
secondary school teachers,

tario Secondary School
Teachers' Federation
(OSSTF).

the four areas are, Brussels
Public School in the north,
Brookside Public School in
the west, Clinton Public
School in the central area,
and Exeter Public School in
the south.
Besides reading and com-
puters, topics include
mathematics, teacher and
the law, public relations, the
gifted child, and several
similar topics as discussed
at the secondary level.
This PD day is one of two
during the school year in
which teachers get together
for activities out of their
schools, Other PD day ac-
tivities are usually confined
to individual schools.
Prior to planning PD days,
teachers select topics they
would like discussed.
Rec centre
Continued from front page
council committees involved
Mickle said, since the board
was appointed to manage the
rec centre. He added the job
may need further evaluation
of what is required.
Carolyn Merner reminded
the board they would be
meeting with a ministry of
culture and recreation con-
sultant Melanie McLaughlin,
later in the week.
She suggested McLaughlin
be consulted for ideas.
As an alternative, a
management consulting
firm could be contacted
Merner said. Nobody on the
board has expertise in this
situation she said, adding
that it would be an costly
alternative.
"Time is of the essence,"
Mickle remarked. The board
can't expect to take a lot of
time to get an administrator
Mickle said, as it is not fair
to the other staff to have to
carry the extra Toad.
He noted consultants can
procrastinate at high cost.
Merner then asked if the
board should go back to the
job applications received
before Gravett was hired in
April.
Birmingham suggested
advertisements be placed in
various newspapers and
association newsletters. A
lot of things could have
happened in the six months
since the applications were
recieved Birmingham
stated.
A motion was passed that
the board's personnel com-
mittee, Jerry MacLean and
Bruce Shaw, look into the
matter and as Shaw put it,
"somehow find an applicant
to recommend to the board.

PUC hopes for break
when
new post rates hit
Exeter PUC may be able
to take advantage of a
special postal rate to mail
its bills, when the new rates
are set in January.
Manager Hugh Davis said
the Exeter PUC and about 50
other utilities fill out com-
puter cards for their billings
and send them to London to
be processed.
He said the post office
may consider the 50 plus
utilities as a group, to
qualify them for an over 5,-
000 letter bulk rate.
Jim Collins, president of
the Ontario Municipal Elec-
tric Association (OMEA)
told the association's recent
meeting in Aylmer that the
OMEA had negotiated a bulk
rate of 21 cents per letter,
when regular postal rates
may be as high as 30 cents.
The rate would apply to
utilities sending out 5,000
presorted identical pieces.
"We're hoping for the rate
of 21 cents,' Davis said.
The use of courier services
to deliver bills more cheaply
was also discussed at the
Aylmer meeting.
Davis said the PUC had
been advised there may be a
law passed making it illegal
for utilities to arrange their
own mail delivery. This
would prohibit the use of
couriers and hand delivery
of PUC bills by utility per-
sonnel.
Davis said it was possible
that even during a mail
strike the utilities wouldn't
be able to deliver their bills.
During the mail strike this
summer, utiltly employees
hand delivered PUC bills.
"It was a nightmare",
Davis said. When the bills
were delivered, they had to
be handed to a person.
In a municipality where
there is a concentration of
customers, with mail -slots
in the doors, Davis said even
at 17 cents per bill a person
e
could make money drop-
ping off the bills.
In Exeter however, the
bills had to be given to
someone at each house. This
was hard to do Davis said,
with many people away or
working when PUC per-
sonnel tried to deliver bills.
He added though that he
did not think the proposal to
make alternate delivery
illegal had become law as
yet.
"I don't think its been
passed yet," Davis said of
the proposed law, "but I un-
derstand it's in the offing."
