Protect public from shocking radio TORONTO , — A recent spot check of Imperial radio receiving sets bearingModel' No. KA -601 and Model No. HT -601, has shown that some of these 110 -volt units have a screw that may be elec- trically "alive" on the bottom of the set. This means that if a per- son touched the screw witti one hand and a grounded metal ap- pliance, water tap, or hot ,air register with the other, a severe electric shock could result. Canadian Tire, one of 20 com- panies who purchased' these im- ported. radios from All Nations Trading Limiter of -Toronto, has offered to' accept'return of the Imperial radio sets at their Asso- ciate Stores anywhere in Canada. Regardlessof where the set was bought, Canadian Tire has offer- ed the use of their facilities in re- turning the sets to the distributor for exchange—at no cost to the owner. of the radio. The recalled sets will be re-ex- amined and re -assembled under Canadian Standards Association supervision as a protection to the public who purchased them since they went on sale just; prior to Christmas.

The speaker was introduced by club president Lloyd Casemore and vice president pont Walter expressed appreciation for an interesting address: A letter from a Lions Club in Alberta. outlining plans to hold a lottery in association with the .Shriners of that area, with pro- ceeds to go to hospital and research work sparked consid- erable discussion. Many mem- bers were against supporting out- side:ventures of which they knew• nothing, while others expressed opinions that if to the advantage of hospitals, the lottery should be supported. On motion by G. W. "Bill" Tif- fin, seconded by Frank Madill, the matter was referred to the club directors for further study. Jim Gregg reported on. the pro- gress of arrangements for the first show of the Talent Hunt. He said that .besides sufficient en- tries for it, there were already six others noted for the show. in February.

The grant of $2,500 offered un- der the provincial -municipal em- ployment incentive program to the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board has been approved and is being used at St. Mary's School at Hes- son it was learned at a meeting of the board Monday night of last week in Seaforth. Trustee Vincent Young„ Goder- ich, chairman of the building committee, said that workmen are on the job and have com- pleted the boiler froom door and are building a cement wall, which will also be used for coat racks. A teachers' room, a library re- source centre and washrooms will be built in the school under the program. Jack Lane, business adminis- trator, reported he is applying for a second grant from the program fcr $7,070 to be used in painting at the various separate schools in Huron and Perth, $5,000 for inside painting, $2,070 for outside paint- ing if the program is extended to the end of May when this phase will be possible , with warmer weather. The board made the following appointments to represent the board: to the Stratford Library Board, Dan Devlin and Victor __Lindsay, to the Huron -Perth Res- piratory Disease Association, 'Trustee Michael Connolly of RR 3. Kinpen and to the Stratford Traffic Sub-comtnittee, Trustee P. J. Vere. Reporting on a meeting i}f the Teacher - Trustee -Relationship_ Committee, called at a request of the teachers, Trustee Young said the teachers -had not presented any problems for the committee to solve and .that the teachers found the board members and administrative staff co-opera- tive. The 1971 ad hoc committee for proposed building proiects was re -appointed for 1972: Michael Connolly, Chris Walraven, St. Marys; David Teahen and How- ard Shantz, both of Stratford. The board passed a borl<'owing by-law for $1,000,000 so that all current expenditures can be met.

Council have still. not reached a final decision concerning wheth- er or not to financially support Midwestern Development Coun- cil (MDC formerly MODA) dur- ing 1972. ' Although the Planning and De- velopment Committee under the chairman, E. W. Oddleifson, Bayfield, recommended to coun- cil that it continue membership in MDC this year, council heard' a surprise presentation by' Reeve Charles Thomas of Grey, who be- lieves himself to be one of the few MDC members who has served continuously since the organiza- tion was formed. Reeve Thomas urged Huron ta, take out membership in MDC this year on the condition that the people of Huron be permitted',to appoint their own members. Thomas said re -organization of • MDC is scheduled for April and he .suggested that Huron's mem- bership in -MDC be withheld until Three collisions • result in total of $1525 darna.ges The Wingham detachment of the provincial police were called to three accidents January 25 and 29 where total damage was esti- mated in excess of $1,500 but no • injuries resulted. Last Tuesday Alan E. Hodgins, .RR 2, Thamesford, had stopped at. the scene of other collisions on . Highway 4 during a storm and his vehicle was struck by a car driven by James H. Boughner of RR 1; Southwold, whowas also travelling north on Highway 4. Damage was set at $375. Wayne McClinchey of Blyth was travelling east ort Drum- mond Street, Blyth, and Murray Manning, also of Blyth, was pro- ceeding south on Highway 4 last Tuesday and when both drivers applied their brakes, the vehicles slid into each other.

Report outlines county welfare John McKinnon, director of the new Huron County. Welfare De- partment, made his first report: to,, county council at last Friday's session. While some members agreed that the takeover from the local level, to the county level had been smooth and had created fewer problems than anticipated, it was clear that others members were concerned with the,opration of -the new system. McKinnon said that 107 famil- ies or singles are on welfare in Huron County at the. present time. He noted that when the county system went into effect, some persons who had previously qualified for welfare in the local municipality were deleted from the role, while others who had not qualified were taken on. The di- rector also advised' that between 30 and 40 men had been placed in jobs cutting dead elm, trees. Some local problems involving welfarereciplenl$ were heard. It was noted that some councillors were concerned that chronic wel- fare types were being issued cheques at the end of ern month and were incapable of budgeting wisely enough to get themselves through until the next cheques arrived. McKinnon said his department was 'experimenting to find the best methods to use with each welfare recipient, and further noted flexibility would : enable them to make swift changes as necessary. He did advise of his intention to rehabilitate as many welfare recipients as possible. "If we give these people no re- sponsibility in handling money, when they go back to -work the bills will begin to pile up again and they will be back on welfare. If they spend aH their monthly cheques before the ' end of the month, we can give them an emergency cheque; but this a- mount will be taken off next month's. Hopefully, they will be- come educated about handling money," stated McKinnon.- Fordwich WI sponsors card party in hall FORDWiCH Eleven tables were in play at the euchre party held in the Community Hall and sponsored by the Wi.

A member of MDC's executive for the past six years, Reeve Thomas said he had been con- cerned lately because of a strong swing within MDC to have non - municipally orientated people in decision-making positions. He said he opposed this trend and had eventually" resigned from MDC's executive because he felt there was no' sympathy for his "partnership approach". However, ' Reeve •Thomas stated he had been heartened by the presentation made to Huron County Council at the inaugural session in January when Man- ager Walter Gowing spoke about involving county council in a more direct way. , "I think we are starting to gee what we wa'hted," said. Reeve Thomas. "What we're really in- terested in is autonomy in that organization. I'"think it is pretty important for us to be, in on the planning. If it is to be a provincial government planning board, then let the cost come from the provin- ,cial government. But if we are to be partners, that's different. We don't want to be fee paying only." Frank Cook, deputy -reeve of Clinton, challenged Reeve Thom- as by charging ,that lie was con- fusingcouncil. Cook claimed it was Reeve Thomas who had swupg council's decision against Mfie in late 1971, and it was Reeve Thomas now , who was swinging council's opinion " to- ' ward supporting MDC in 1972. Reeve, Clarence (Derry) Boyle, Exeter, agreed. He said he felt the councillors had decided wise- ly in late 1971 to maintain a coun ty development officer.. Boyle ad - bitted he was "not sure of the value of MDC". "We've got to think of Huron County and there's no way that those people in the Stratford - Kitchener area are going to Wor- ry about Huron County," o6 - served Reeve Boyle. "The proper way to put pressure on is to with- hold the money for one year," he added. "We've got nothing to be ashamed of," said Anson McKin- ley, deputy -reeve of Stanley. "We've been good paying mem- bers. Maybe it is about time we attachefj, a feW. conditions to our membership." McKinley said that of the meet, ings he'd attended, there was plenty of information to be re- ceived, -but there was no oppor= tunity to assist in setting policy. "Membership iii MDC should be giving us some input into pol- icy decisions such as whether or not to„limit the growth in indus- trial areas,” said McKinley, "but it obviously has" not." In outlining some of the prob- lems he had found at MDC, Reeve Thomas said he felt it was wrong for the manager of MDC and the president to sit on the nominating committee. He mentioned his term of office as vice president of MDC and said he was really not surprised when the presidency of MDC did not fall to him. '" Reeve Thomas also 'reminded council of a brief sent to MDC asking that organization to peti- tion the government not to"give approval for any further indus- tries to locate at Listowel until that municipality's sewage prob- lem involving the Maitland River had been cleared up. He said that brief had never been presented to MDC's executive. - proved: May 31, August 31, Sell). tember 30, October 31, November 30 and December Passed for payment was the fee of $87.68 (in 1971 it was $64.76) to the Canadian Catholic Trustee Association. John Vintar, superintendent of .education for theboard, reported on a seminar on program devel- opment, 1972, which he and the assistant superintendent of edu- cation, Joseph Tokar, attended in Toronto on January 17 when the Hon. Robert Welch, minister of education, addressed the senior program officials of Ontario School Boards who attended the meeting . The Minister §pike of the changes ineducational develop- ment in the past number of years but stressed that above all the One purpose was the educational welfare of the children and young people in their charge --to facili- tate the social, intellectual and moral development akthi stu- dents. 'Jhe Minister- stressed the im- portance of the development of the programs in the schools. He spoke of the importance of guide- lines and of staying within the (guidelines. The Minister told his audience that it is now the final year of the three-year period allowed for op- tional implementation of the Part A plan of secondary school or- ganization. He said beginning next year, the plan outlined in Part A of this year's circular will be the only basis on which secon- dary school diplomas will be is- sued. The Part A plan, as of Sep- tember, 1972, will be the official program for the secondary schools, replacing the Reorgan- ized . Program of 1960. Mr. Vintar reported to •the board on the new reorganization of secondary schools in Ontario. He stated that the official De- partment of Education curric; ulum guide for secondary schools for September, 1972, 'was "Cir- cular He S. 1 1972-73". Mr. V:int.ar pointed out a verysignificant change in philosophy in the new curriculum which says "Accord- ing to this official curriculum guide no secondary school may have obligatory subjects. The student and his parents assume responsibility for curriculum choices. -A secondary school prin- cipal may ' suggest courses but may not obligate students to take specific courses". Mr. Vintai• .stated that this change in basic philosophy would permit students to take courses best'suited to their interests, abil- ities and goals for the future. As well, the new credit system, with individualized timetables, would allow each student to work 'at his own'level in appropriate courses. ' Mr. Vintar added that at the re- cent meeting with the Minister of Education he had stated that 80 per cent of the secondary schools in Ontario were already using these new organizational lit - terns and the remaining 20 per cent would have t6 adopt the plan in September, 1972. Mr. Vintar stated that trustees and parents should pay partic- ular attention to the secondary, school c lend ,' l *. certain if and to what extent : the credit System and its pY is being implemented. The meeting concluded with the board meeting aa' a com- mittee of the whole.
