Mr. Montgomery in profile
As Mr. Montgomery
would say, 'I've been
everywhere man!' And
that's the truth.
It all began a few
moons ago in Bathurst,
New Brunswick. A fine
baby boy, Mr. Mon-
tgomery, was born. He
attended a small one -
room school at Bathurst
Mines situated near a
Hydro -Electric Plant
where his father worked.
Since most of the
surrounding area was
bush country, this
Montgomery lad grew up
with that 'rough touch'.
After a short 'stint in
Grade 9, his father took
him out of school and sent
him to work. Supposedly;
Mr. M. acted just like his
`sweathogs' but I guess
he grew out of it? His first
job was trapping, cutting
wood, working on various
construction jobs, and
guiding 'American
tourists. The next few
years were the big event.
Mr. Montgomery
graduated to become a
full-fledged bushworker,
cutting and hauling river
drives. By this time, the
war had started, so he
enlisted in the Air Force.
After serving 41/2 years as
an Air Force mechanic,
he returned home in 1945.
During this time, Mr.
M. had decided to make
up for the education he
had missed. He enrolled
in a high school under a
Vocational Training for
one year. He was then
accepted at University
where he spent four years
of hard work and
studying to later receive
a degree in Forest
Engineering, (now
classed at Bachelor of
Science in Forestry).
In 1950, following
University, Mr. M. ob-
tained employment at
Marathon Paper Mill,
Canada Ltd., north of
Marathon. There Mr. M.
was superintendent of a
logger -training course.
After two years at
Marathon, he worked at
Abitibi Power & Paper,
Co., as District
Superintendent in
Training at Smooth Rock
Falls.
Ten years later, the
division closed its doors
so it was 'hit the road'
again. Mr. `M. became
employed for 4 years out
of North Bay with the
Federal Government in
the Engineering branch
of the Federal Depart-
ment of Public Works.
Later, he decided to work
at the Distributionship
for Home Products, out of
Montreal.
This was the story of
life, until, 'after his 11/2
years there, the factory
moved from Montreal to
Winnipeg. One more job
shot! The next move was
to the Gaspe area where
he worked for the New
Brunswick International
Paper Ltd., as a logging
inspector, .managing
three logging camps. A
couple of years doing that
and Mr. M. had had
enough of the Maritimes.
He came back to good
old Ontario and joined the
Lands and Forests"out of
Sudbury. Fpr one year he
worked as ° Management
Forester. Mr". M. still
owns part ofhis uniform.
You've probably noticed
a furry avocado hat with
a badge on the front, on
Mr. M's head. (It Was
that thing on his head, in
the assembly, Tuesday.)
Anyway!
From the move to the
Ministry of corrections,
Mr. M. became a guard
at the Burwash Industrial
Prison Farm. In 1960,
after a full share of this
work up North, he
decided to look into the
teaching profession.
Although the wages for
teaching were meagre to
what he had earned
before, Mr. M. still
planned on upgrading his
degree.
In 1970, he set out to
find a teaching job, but
fortunately ran into a
principal who was
looking for a man just
like him. As a test, Mr. M.
spent six straight weeks
supply teaching only to
find that he liked it. He
received a job offer at
Sudbury, qualifying him
for Mature Summer
courses. Mr. M. began
teaching at a bilingual
school of 400 students in
Noelville just south of
Sudbury. There he taught
chemistry, drafting,
welding, wood -working,
biology and horticulture.
Because of his close
relationship with the bush
country, Mr. M. decided
to upgrade his
Geography. (he took all 9
courses). 'While teaching
at Noelville, Mr. M.
helped to devise a course
in Natural Resources in
Technology which .,later
became a regular credit
course..,
Enough of the North'
says Mr. M. so he moved
down South to the
booming town of Exeter,
where he spent a year at
South Hut on District
High School 'teaching
Georgraphy and Welbing.
Mr. M. decided to make
his home here, and since
a job had opened up at
Central Huron Secondary
School due to the
retirement of Mr. Mid-
dleton, Mr. .Montgomei y.
transferred to Clinton
three years ago, where he
now sits. At C.H.S.S. he
teaches Special Ed:,
History, Geography and
Science.
His future plans are to
stay teaching. He is able
to put his past experience
to good use in class
"cause he's been
everywhere, man!". Mr.
M. enjoys the pleasant
students, good guys,
'jocks' and anyone I
missed, who are anxious
to learn. He believes that
teaching is the most
rewarding and
challenging profession.
Now, believe it or not,
this out -going man had
time tomarry and have a
family. Mr. M. married
overseas January 8, 1945
and had a family much
like "Eight is Enough", 5
girls and 3 boys. Here, we
go! First came Wilma
who is married; then
Robert who is teaching
art at Upper Canada
School; David, the mover
(truck, driver); Janice
who is married; Leslie
who is a Systems
Engineer for I.B.M.;
Allan who is presently
roaming in Greece;
Cheryl who is at
University; and finally
Hilary who is presently in
Grade 12 at C.H.S.S. Oh!
We can't forget 'Chip' the
trained chocolate Lab,
and 'Joe' the de -clawed
cat.

Juniors No. 1
A volleyball tour-
nament was held in
Goderich last 'Wednesday
with the five Huron
County high sc'hools in
attendance.
The mighty junior
Redwomen played five
games and were defeated
only once by 'Wingham.
Their fine performance
has earned them first
place in the Huron County
league.
The senior Redwomen
did not do as well as the
juniors. Although their
games were hard fought,
they were unable to pull
off a victory.
Basketball
Last Thursday, our
midget Redmen fell to
defeat at the hands of the
Listowel Lords by a 71-23
score. Our senior. Red -
men outscored, our
midgets by 16 points, but
the Listowel seniors
outscored their midgets
by 18 points. Needless to
say, we were defeated 89-
39.
Joe Verberne's 15 point
effort pulled his average
down to 15.7 points per
game.
Our ° junior Redmen
fought hard against the
Listowel team but lost the
lead in the final mjnute of
play and were defeated
by a three point margin of
44 - 41. Todd Moxam was
high scorer for the game
and for the day bucketing
16 points.
The games which were
scheduled to be played
Monday in Stratford were
postponed because of
adverse weather con-
ditions. The teams play at
home against Exeter
today. All spectators are
welcome.

A simple plastic bag filled with your air can quickly tell the amount of carbon
dioxide in the blood stream with the aid of an ecolyzer. The grade 9 students at
CIISS had their carbon monoxide levels tested last Friday by the Huron -Perth
Lung Association. Mrs. Art Dunsmore of Stratford read the machine. The
association is testing all the Grade 9 students in Iluron and Perth high schools.

linter carnival fun
The CHSS Winter
Carnival officially began
Tuesday morning with an
assembly. The first event
of the big week was a
girl's broomball game
between the Chevies and
the Black Babies at the
Clinton Community
Centre. The Black Babies
won the game with a
score Of 2-0.
Tricycle races, on ice,
were held between the
tribal leaders. Brenda
Dowson, chief of the
Cheyenne, won the event,
proving that the
Cheyenne really are "the
tops of the totem pole."
The most entertaining
and excit'ng part of .-the
afternoon for the students
was the annual student -
teacher hockey game.
The mighty Redmen,. no
longer intimidated by the
Red Machine's "unor-
thodox" tactics walked
right over the teachers by
a score of 6 - 2.
Dan Proctor and Steve
Granger each scored two
goals in the first period to
Ottawa report...

Good news for farmers
comes from the
Agricultural Stabilization
Board. We were advised
last week that Ontario
Wheat Producers will be
receiving a stabilization
payment on the 1977
wheat crop of 87 cents a
bushel. In 1977, the
Ontario wheat crop was
30.2 million bushels, but
crop prices here were
depressed because of a
large crop in the United
States. Grower returns
averaged $2.27 a bushel,
well below previous
levels. No reason was
given why an 87 cent
subsidy was set instead of
the 90 cents previously
suggested in speeches by
the minister of
agriculture. It is ex-
pected that application
forms for the payment
will be sent directly to
producers, using names
on file with the Ontari1
Wheat Producers
Marketing Board.
The big event of last
week was of course the
installation of our new
Governor-General,
Edward Schreyer. Sitting
in the Senate Gallery, I
was particularly pleased
to witness the in-

stallation, because Mr.
Schreyer and I took our
seats together in the
House of Commons back
in 1965, both newly
elected for the first time.
During his years in the
House of Commons
before he departed for
provincial politics, he
impressed me as a
capable politician with a
broad understanding of
Canadian problems and
culture. Canadians of all

put the Redmen ahead by
four goals. Penalties
were handed out to
Reidy, Monro and
Westlake.
In the second period,
Ron May scored the only
student goal while Mr.
Reeve and Mr. Weber
each scored for the
teachers. Clynick and
Reidy each served a
penalty for the teachers,
while Watson, Castle and
M-om mersteg served
• penalties for the students.
Steve I.ohh .crorod the
only goal of the third
period to give the
students a 6 - 2 win over
the teachers.
The penalty box
received most of the
attention in the third
period, as a total of six
penalties were handed
out to the students, while
the teachers received
seven penalties. Mr.
Reidy was the recipient
of a game misconduct for
his actions throughout the
game.

O.P.P. Commissioner
H.H. Graham announced,
that effective February 5,
1979, a stepped-up en-
forcement program
utilizing unmarked police
cars equipped with radar
will be implemented.
This departure from
established O.P.P. policy
is. en, all-out effort to
reduce the incidence of
death and injuries on our
highways.
In the past radar speed
detecting equipment was.
generally used in the
familiar black and white
cruisers equipped with
roof mounted lights and
antennae.
Both types of police
cruisers will now be used.
Commissioner Graham
said a recent pilar
project in Western
Ontario was very ef-
fective. Commissioner
Graham emphasized that
he is confident the
motoring public support
this venture, as the force
has received many
complaints of speeding,
tail -gating and unsafe
lane changes, etc., in-
cluding many involving
commercial vehiclesand
buses.
