It was CHSS's fifth loss this season in as many starts and it now looks like this years record will not be any better than last years. The first quarter of the, game started very con- servatively. Both offensive teams failed to make significant gains. Listowel scored first on a series of plays after Central Huron gave up the ball on a fumble. The T.D. was unconverted. In the second quarter, the Redmen fought back when Peter Demaline made his first of two superb in- terceptions of the game. Jeff Hearn then took charge of the offensive attack bringing the ball to Listowel's one yard line. .He made no mistake when he dove in the end zone for the major score. This T.D. was also unconverted•. The first half ended in a 6-6 stalemate. In the second half, the Lords broke loose with a field goal in the third quarter and two unanswered touch downs in the fourth quarter. The •Redmen failed to 'make any organized offensive threat in .the 'final half and the game ended in a 22-6 win for Listowel. Top rusher for Central was Ron May with 21 of the disappointing 64 total of- fensive yards. These are very frustrating statistics for the Redmen offensive unit. The defence, on the other hand, played exceptionally well. Peter Thompson ' and Steve Sparling were tops in limiting Listowel's attack on the ground. Peter Demaline sparkled in the defensive secondary with two beautiful interceptions. Although Listowel's offensive unit dominated the scoring, they felt the pinch of the har- dhitting Redmen and will undoubtably remember the game •through their many sore bones and bruises. The next game is the last game of the season for the fighting Redmen as they play the Huskies of Stratford Northwestern at home on Nov. 3. One can count on an exciting hardhitting game. Just ask Annie! Dear Annie: Hi! How are you? We are not fine. We have a number of problems. To begin our agenda, every time we enter a classroom, 'we are insulted by abnoxious body odours. Is it the price of deodorant or the bills from the water company? Second on the agenda: the male species in, this school are lacking romantic abilities or for that matter, any abilities at all. Third on the agenda: holding hands in the hall is acceptable , but the exchange of slobber has to be stopped. Extremely Disgusted, Ms. Clear Dear Confused: First on the agenda: I do not believe that you can do anything about anybody's well... er, personal hygiene. Tell them they smell atrocious. That's about the only thing you can do. Second and third on the agenda: whadda ya want anyway, slobbering or no romance at all? Furthermore, if you don't have a problem, just a complaint or soii:;ething, write to the -editor. `` Ms. Annie Slanders. An interview with Premier Davis By Philip Street I recently had the op- portunity to speak with Mr. William Davis, Premier of Ontario. I asked, him about his views on education. Mr. Davis believes that the problem of illiteracy is no worse than it has ever been; he recalls that the same charges were made by university professors over 25 years ago. • He maintains that the high school graduates of today are as intellectually competent as any of the past. • This statement seems to me to miss the point. Education should be better than it was - there is no excuse for widespread illiteracy to exist, as Mr: , Davis suggests, for more than 25 years. When asked about the higher , education budget of some metropolitan areas, Mr. Davis replied that everyone is feeling the pinch of spending• restraints. He argued that city schools must often provide diverse courses for new Canadians, and therefore require a larger budget; however, he noted that Huron County is growing and in need of facilities. Again, his comments sound Town of Clinton LEAF PICKUP MONDAYS: OCT. 24 OCT. 31 Loaves that aro properly secured in bags or othei suitable containers and placed at the roadside will be picked up on Mondays Only begin- ning at $ a.m. C.C. PROCTOR, CLERK -TREASURER, x2.43 good at first but behind the words he evades the question. How can one justify spending more money per pupil because one lives in a city? The government has failed to apply their budget restrictions fairly - those who kept closest to their previous budget received the least increase. Mr. Davis believes that the structure of our education system at any time is a reflection of society, and as such always subject to a refining process. He does not see any serious flaws in our present system. I think that he should take a closer look. Smile Home: where a,. teenager goes when he's tired or hungry. A salute to our counterpart by Ken McBride - School spirit comes in numerous forms. Some students show their en- thusiasm • through their athletic endeavors. Others join the student council, participate in clubs of all kinds, or bend their minds around a Euclid Math Test. 1f you are successful, or if you bungle your efforts sufficiently, you are bound' to become something of a celebrity. School Spirit, however, is not always commended or even recognized. Invariably there are hard- working people. without whom we would find ourselves in a state of practical inadequacy, people whose energies are expended just out of range of the limelight. The CHSS yearbook is one of the most important and difficult undertakings to be found in the school, yet the editor of this year's volume, Ruth Martin, is not a person whose name will be .well known among the students here. Ruth will be in charge of collecting and co-ordinating the efforts of her dozen contributors, making sure students' names are spelled correctly (or close enough that nobody will notice), and .generally compiling a rather impressive work of 144 pages. The yearbook, as the name implies, is a year-long project, and as such is a wonderfully efficient means "THE ROYAL HOME •d, • "GRANDEUR" ft 7tePIP --,' •n •-;• ..

Doing layouts of this kind is an involved and tedious process, if my experience Juniors lose to Listowel with the new Chronicle Monthly is any indication, and we of the local rag wish Ruth the best of luck. And I was only kidding :about the spelling mistake's. The Junior Redmen los ' their fifth game to Listowel Lords 33-0 Thursday. The team, fought hard but ended the first half behind 7-0. The juniors were unable to genre in the second half and were unable to stop the Lords scoring drives that resulted in the final score. The juniors next game will be against Wingham on Thursday.

Once more the board will submit a request for renovations at St. Michael's School in Stratford at an estimated cost of $165,000–t -o provide for home economics, industrial arts, and a music room. This project was submitted in 1975 and rejected by the ministry because capital funds were not available. In 1976 • no forecast was requested. As well, the board will be requesting approval for $15,000 for the replacement of one 1970 school bus in its fleet of eight buses. Declining enrolments continue as a concern to he board as well as to other boards. Joseph Mills, superintendent of education, and Jack Lane, superin- tendent of business and finance; attended a meeting in Toronto of the Commission on Declining Enrolments on October 14. In their report on the meeting they said they were provided with statistics on the declining numbers not only in Ontario schools but across Canada. They said the commission was set up to study the problem and will be taken to strategic places in the province Oto receive briefs from school boards, com- munity groups and in- dividuals. They said the board will have to look at setting up a task force which would in- clude ratepayers, trustees, administration staff and school personnel. The task force could begin the study after another conference in Niagara Falls on December 1,2 and 3 on the same subject which will be attended by trustees Ronald Murray, Ted Geoffrey, Ronald Marcy, Arthur Haid and David Teahen. William Eckert, director of education, said there was a decline of 161 students in Huron and Perth separate schools as had been projected and that next year they were projecting a decline of 180 students. He said that classrooms cannot be closed according to the decrease in enrolment because the decrease is spread' out in the 19 schools in'the two counties. Mr. Eckert said the public must be educated to the problem so they can un- derstand why changes must be 'made by the boards. At the meeting in Dublin Monday night, a presentation was made by John McDonald, RR 2, Mitchell, Regional manager of the western region, St. John Ambulance, seeking to have the first aid program purchased by the board for use in the schools in the system. Mr. McDonald outlined the history of the association which has been established to promote healing, sustain life and alleviate suffering. He said safety habits come from changing the attitude of people. He said this has proved successful in the factories and among other workers and now the em- phasis is on school children. *. He said a special program has been set up for the schools and ,explaiped its value to the school system. He stated that the knowledge that" children gain in handling accidents is reflected in safety habits in the home, -that the first aid skills the student learns will be of value to that person throughout his or her life; and that in many summer positions, a knowledge of first aid is necessary or at least helpful. Mr. McDonald said that the eight-hour course would be given to only grades 7 and 8 students. It involves training the teachers first that they will be able then to instruct their students. He explained that the Workmen's Com- pensation Board endorses the program and will pay for two teachers, from -each school to take the course. Any extra teachers taking the course would cost $16 each. The board would purchase the program including films, continued on page 15.
