Times-Advocate, 1982-10-06, Page 2Times-Advocate. October 6,1982 . s solitihur delegates sriticize Presbytery cburches were criticized by by delegates at Sebringville last week. It was the first meeting of the United Church court under its new chair- man, Rev.. Norman Gibson, Central, Stratford. The first speaker said delegates take time out to at- tend the various courts but are not given the opportunity to relay their findings to the local congregations. Another delegate indicated that tins led to misunderstandings of the church's programs. He suggested that ministers should not be so possessive of their pulpits that time is not found to allow reports to the local people. The discussion was a result of a special section on the agenda to allow lay delegates to express their views. The chairman found it necessary to admonish the clergy for entering the debate too frequently. The inductions of four new ministers to Huron -Perth were announced by secretary. Rev.

You are obviously in a hardware store buying numerals for your front door! Keynote speaker Dr. Bayne Logan from the University of Ottawa defined the five characteristics of an effective teacher: understanding, trust. openness, positive regard for others and uncon- ditional acceptance. As he spoke, many in his audience recalled a former teacher they still fondly remembered as one who had personified those traits. "He said what i really felt. and said it much better than I could". Exeter principal Jim Chapman commented afterward. Chapman explained that two or three PD days are held during the school year, and most county public schools take their tuts as hosts. The teachers also had the oppor- tunity to look over the displays set up by ten publishers. taut to the coin - pony representatives, and ex- amine the latest in textbooks, material. techniques and equipment.
