Talk about dredging of harbour Port Franks Harbour Com- mittee representative, Charles Srokosz met with the Grand Bend Harbour Com- mittee Wednesday last week to discuss mutual dredging problems. Srokosz told the Grand Bend group that at the pre- sent time the Port Franks committee was considering a multi-purpose boat with a large propeller which could keep the channel clear to a depth of four to five feet. He suggested that such a boat could be also used as a rescue craft. He commented that the Port Franks harbour would need to be cleared several times a year and that Port Franks, while eager to work together on the problem with Grand Bend and Bayfield;- needed ayfield-needed its own unit. The Department of Oceans and Fisheries had suggested a moveable sand -sucker device which could be used to clear all three harbours. To accommodate large -keeled boats, the Grand Bend Har- bour was dredged to a depth of 10 feet last year. There was some indication at the meeting, that Oceans and Fisheries would ask for a cost-sharing program for future dredging. On behalf of fishermen operating from Grand Bend, member Joe Green has requested early dredging this year. Ile says there is a new sizeable sand- bar about 300 feet out in the lake. "We've never seen one there before", he said. Plans are underway to repair and extend the launch ramp. Wave action, last year, undermined the foundation. There will be three spaces defined on the ramp. Grand Bend summer staff will operate the ramp this year. David Best, of Grand Bend, met with the group to discuss the operation of laundromat equipment in the harbour building. The proposed laun- dry room has space for three washers and three dryers. Best suggested that propane gas dryers would be better than those using hydro. Grand Bend chairman, Tom Lawson, said in regar- ding such operations at the building, it was essential to keep in mind that the group must be self sufficient. He asked Best to recommend changes which might make the building more efficient. He asked Chamber of Com- merce representative, Eugene Grenier for a promo- tional package from area business persons, which could be given to visiting boaters. he said it was essential to 'make them feel at home'. And he emphasized the im- portance of a fair and equitable exchange rate on the American dollar. Lawson also suggested that, as well as continuing to work together with other har- bour groups on the Canadian side of the lake, the group shared "link up with American neighbours". It was decided to raise docking fees to $6.75 for boats up to 20 feet, $10.50 for boats from 20 to 30 feet and $10.75 for boats over 30 feet in length. A rate was established for docking charges -for Warner Auto -Marine during the two week in -the -water boat show which will be held from April 28 to May 13. Studt attends Terry Fox Canadian youtli centre Susan Birmingham, a grade 12 student at South Huron District High School, attended the Terry Fox Cana- dian Youth Centre in Ottawa the week of February 25 to March 3. The Terry Fox Youth Cen- tre was created by the Coun- cil for Canadian Unity to pro- vide an educational institution, unlike any other in Canada. Each week approximately one hundred sixteen and seventeen -year-olds from the ten provinces and two ter- ritories gather at the Centre for the experience of a lifetime to work and socialize together. During the week the young Canadians gain a greater insight into Canada's governmental, judicial, and cultural institution. While there, the students at- tend lectures and take part in Computers part of school life Computers are a part of life, much like television and in recognizing that fact, the Huron -Perth Separate School Board is working on guidelines for computer literacy studies. Acting director ofeducation. John McCauley, reported to the board at its March 12 meeting that there is an ad hoc computer assisted learn- ing committee made up of teachers and adminstration that has been working on these guidelines. However, the committee needs to expand, said Mr. lawn O By MRS. HAROLD DAVIS Mrs. Joan McCormick has returned home after visiting with her sister and family Mr. and Mrs. Hanniman of Renfrew.

In the absence of the president, the vice president Mrs. Burns Blackler conducted the meeting opening with the singing of a hymn Scripture passage.Meditationwas read by Mrs. Gerald Paul followed by prayer. Mrs. Blackler then introduced the guest speaker Mrs. Mark Henry who gave a very interesting talk on her work. She is at present employed at St. Joseph's Hospital in Psychiatric Ward.

This trustee would report to the board as it is ex- pected that committee will present proposals for the boards annual budget. Trustee Vincent McInnes, RR 4, Wingham was named to the committee. This year the board approv- ed about $30,000 in its annual budget for the purchase of computers and extras such as printers and tape recorders. It was just over a year ago that the separate school board purchased over20 computers to enable each school in the two counties to have at least one computer. Besides making recom- mendations on computer pur- chases, the broad purpose of the committee is to develop and implement computer literacy programs. McCauley said some members of the committee are able to write computer programs and these could be used in the school system. There was some discussion on the number of computers in each school. The acting director said the number ranges from one to six because some schools have purchased extra computers through school funds or com- munity fund raising. McCauley said 90 percent of the computers in the schools are Commodore PET 40-32 models and problems could arise if individual schools pur- chased computers that are not compatible with this model. A suggestion that only ex- tras, such as a printer, be pur- chased through school funds or fund raising is currently being discussed. McCauley said he would like to' see one computer for every 25 students in the Huron -Perth separate school system, but that will take some time. - workshops on the Canadian economy, arts and culture, national resources and the en- vironment, science and technology, the law, and Canadian studies. Each par- ticipant chooses one area of study and works as part of a group taking part ih activities designed to teach them about it. Lecturers are guest educators from school boards across Canada, as well as businessmen and government officials. Susan focused on the economy. Her group par- ticipated in a computer game called Canecon in which they elected a Finance Minister and competed with other groups in attempting to lower interest rates, inflation rates and unemployment by ad- justing the many variables that affect those areas. Her group was winning all week long with the last day when a bad decision caused them to finish in third place. The week's itinerary also included a visit to the Parlia- ment Buildhigs and a tour of the nation's capital where they visited Notre Dame Basilica, the Bank of Canada Currency Museum and toured the neighbourhoods where government officials and am- bassadors live. The highlight of the week, was having the opportunity to attend the National Arts Cen- tre for the opening night per- formances of Romeo and Juliet presented by the Na- tional Ballet of Canada and enjoying wonderful perfor- mances by Karen Kain and Frank Augustyn. Of particular enjoyment to Susan was making friends from Prince Edward Island, Quebec, British Columbia and Nova Scotia. She was in- terested to hear what life is like in other parts of the coun- try such as isolated com- munities in the Northwest Territories and found it fun to practise her French with friends she made from Quebec. She had to ask them to speak more slowly but was thrilled to find that they could understand each other. Leisure time activities also included swimming and shop- ping. One student from the Northwest Territories was delighted to be able to buy the latest fashions which are unavailable to him back home. He left with ruggers, shirts, a leather tie and ten tapes of popular music. As the week neared an end, new friends exchanged ad- dresseswith promises to write and visit each other - proof that the Centre's purpose has been fulfilled once more. Susan hopes to see her friends again at some future time and is most grateful to her spon- sors, the Exeter Legion and South Huron District High school for giving her this ex, citing experience. fi Jt BEST USBORNE trophies top public SPEAKERS — Shown with are Geoff Strang and Christine Parsons, speakers at Usborne Central School. their the \ TOL. 1 ITER O' (")ltO(li1 1 inE' f urnit(ire On the Main Street of Dublin 345-2250 Beat the High Cott of SMALL ENGINE REPAIR until May 12 we will tune up your lawnmower or garden tiller for only , $ 1 950 (parts extra) INCLUDES: • Clean & adjust carburetor • Check Ingnition ' • Change oil • Clean air filters • Adjust and oil up all controls • Sharpen and balance blades.
