Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1979-04-05, Page 2t PAGE 2 --CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1979 There was a com- mentary on the radio the other morning regarding the current (or now nearly over) Harrisburg, Pennsylvania nuclear problem. One ob- servation was, that if all air conditioners in the United States were turned off this corning summer, then the country could almost do without the 13 percent energy created and utilized from nuclear power in the whole U.S.A. The obvious conclusion to be drawn from such a statement is that the price of comfort, in an age when it is already taken for granted, may be a price beyond money for us all. + ++ Mr. and Mrs. Fred Vodden and Mr. and Mrs. Clark Ball of Clinton have returned from a two.week vacation in Georgia and Florida. �- i- ± Stewart Young of Kitimat, B.C. has gone to Japan for two weeks to study a new process and technique which "Alcan" of Kitimat has purchased from Japan.

Teachers fightfor books BY JEFF SEDDON If teachers in Huron county want to use controversial material in classrooms they better be prepared to fight for it. The Huron county board of education agreed in principle Monday to a policy that . will make teachers, department heads and principals responsible for handling complaints and criticisms of material used in county classrooms. The endorsement of the policy was given after director of education John Cochrane gave the board an example of a policy designed to handle complaints. Cochrane told the board he had drafted a policy to be presented to the board and had taken it to teachers and department heads for their com- ments. He said the teachers agreed with the intent of the policy but felt that some changes should be made in the director's model before the policy was adopted. The director said teachers head some "housekeeping suggestions" for the policy to clear up vague areas. He said he hoped to have the changes made for the May board meeting but wanted the board to give some in- dication if it supported the idea of putting teachers in charge of defending material they use. "Which route does the board want to take?" Cochrane asked. "Do you want complaints to go back to the source or do you want to deal with them right off the top?" The policy is aimed at preventing further headaches for trustees trying to defend classroom material the board approved for use. Under the present system teachers recommend material to department heads, department heads and principals send that recommendation on to the board and the board approves it for use. Seaforth trustee John Henderson said the system of approving material for classroom use had been taken away from trustees. He said it seems "trustees don't . have anything to say anymore" pointing out that books that come to the board for approval get there a month before school starts. He said the board has little op- portunity to make any changes in the list of approved materials. Board chairman John Elliott explained that the material for classroom use is sent to a committee of the board and that committee makes recommendations to the board. He said approvals have to be made by the whole board giving all trustees a chance to comment. Easter Weekend STORE HOURS Closed: Good Friday, Apr. 13th Open: Thurs. Apr. 12 till 9 p.m. Sat.
