There's a lot of history under- foot in the home with oak floors. The mighty oak, , source of this. handsome, durable wood, has been used for everything from a re$idietice fbr` aniciette Ids" ttie* vessel for "shooting the Falls."' Today, oak continues to make. history in the home: The tree hasn't changed, hut modern manufacturing methods and .floor finishes have made oak moisture and scratch -resistant and easy. to care for. Because their branches reach- ed so close to the heavens, early people thought the oak to be a sacred tree. Roman mythology identifies the oak .as the personal tree of their supreme god, Jupiter. In Prussia, pagan holy men lived in oak groves to tend the trees and venerate the gods. they believed living in the upper? branches. Later generations used oak to build churches. The fabled Irish town of Kildare took its name from the Gaelic phrase meaning "church of the oak." Many towns are named Holyoke or Oakland in tribute to the stately tree. The abundance of oak frees, their height, strength, and beauty, made them an ideal building material. - While the no- bility used artfully cut pieces of oak in elaborate parquet patterns for ballroom floors, farmers, out- side castle walls split thick oak planks for their flooring. The Hall of Mirrors in the Pal- ace of Versailles has an oak par- quet floor as magnificent today as during the era of Louis XIV. The knights of the. Round Table were said to stride across oak floors at Camelot. Oak leaves and clusters have been reproduced as military insignia for centuries'. The. Venetians used oak for pilings when they built their city,. on 118 islands of the Adriatic,, ant oak is. still used for the gondolas, t v81 °tr vgl,, e,ete�l�l.em o a er, sfnpwrig s used oo timbers for ocean-going vessels, The Mayflower was strengthened with stout oak sides; so. we>r►e : the land -bound prairie schooners that carried the pioneers to America's western frontier. Dur- ing the canal -building era of the late '1800s, engineers developed a unique use for oak flooring: They smoothed the trunks and lined the, canal locks with oak. For those who enjoy bourbon whiskey, the phrase "Aged in Oak" is all-important, and means that charred white oak barrels have been used for the aging pro- cess: Distillers found that char- red oak retains the flavor of. earlier s.gt..hes • A specially built 260 -pound oaken barrel was selected by school teacher Annie Taylor for her 1901 ride over Niagara Falls. Banded With steel straps, the barrel withstood the 160 -foot drop and carried Mrs. Taylor safely through the rapids. She was the• first person to go over the. Falls in a barrel and survive. Each year ,The Indiana and Purdue football teams vie for the Old Oaken Bucket, a relic :of the sport's early years when water boys carried oak buckets to.play- ers during time-outs. Indoors, basketball courts are often made of oak, because their "give" keeps ployers from tiring quick- ly. Oak continues toenhance the quality of life in the modern home,., bringing a unique sense of the past to the contemporary scene. - !N l�l�i,i,,,,,11111111 ''I!!!M!l�f!IIIII IIII III II 111, The mighty 'oak brings a mighty heritage to the modern home. 'This hand- some tree was revered by ancient pagans wlio believed the upper branches housed their gods. Later craftsmen used oak to build ships, among them the Mayflower. Daredevil school +bather Annie Taylor, sealed in a stout oak barrel, rode over Niagara Falls in 1901 and lived to toll about it. Today oak is a favored flooring material, long-lived, durable, and possessing grea+ beauty. Drawing courtesy of The Oak Flooring Institute. DR.

Special course for teachers of retarded ry Teachers • experienced in schools operated by retarded children's authorities who lack 'the basic Ontario teaching certi- ficate will be able to obtain the certificate through a six-week conversion course to be held this summer, Education Minister Robert Welch announced last week. When school boards became responsible for classes and schools for trainable retarded three years ago, many of the tea- ,�,hers had less than grade 13 background or had advanced ac- ademic training but did not. possess a basic teaching certifi- cate that was valid in Ontario. However, the Department of Education ruled that they were qualified to teach trainable retar- ded children. The regulations also allowed graduates of Ryerson Polytech- nical Institute, the Institute of Child Study and colleges of ap- plied arts and technology who had taken appropriate courses- in child study and development andA Department summer courses tO‘ teach trainable retarded children without holding a basic teaching certificate. Mr. Welch had already in- dicated that teachers who had taken department summer or winter courses would be granted a certificate for that particular course. He said the new course is the final stage in a series o,, changes designed to allow such teachers to become fully qualified. The Minister said the depart- ment has constantly endeavoured to provide them with the oppor- tunity to become fully qualified teachers, not only through sum- mer courses dealing with their own field of the trainable retard- ed but also through a clear ad- mission program to au summer and winter professional develop- ment courses. Mr. Welch said that such teachers have made a valuable contribution over the years and that he was sure they would wel- come the opportunity to achieve basic teacher certification. MRS.
