Scholars receive certificate only Questioning in the Ontario Legislature this week elicited the information that a certificate will ' be the only evidence ,"Ontario scholars" will in future have to show for their achievements. Hdi Thomas Wells admitted that the $150 prize which has been awarded to Ontario scholars in the past will be discontinued as a part of his department's cutback in spending on education. At one time the prize was $400. Grade 13 students who achieve an average of 80 per cent or more in their final ,year at secondary schools throughout the province are those designated as Ontario scholars. Diets are for people who are thick and tired of it. Young people of the Wingham area are being invited to play a part in a very worthwhile project as volunteer assistants helping to run programs in recreation for the mentally retarded. People who are mentally re- tarded are first of all persons— real persons. Their greatest need is the basic need of all people, to be accepted and valued as indi- viduals of worth. They have a normal need for love and affec- tion, a feeling of belonging and a need for social and recreational contact with group situations be- cause they are happy persons with whom it is a joy to associate, From the work and efforts of young volunteer assistants 'it is felt that many other goals can be set and conquered. Both the vol- unteer and the retarded in- dividual will benefit from the en- joyment, satisfaction and achievement derived from the programmed efforts. Anyone who is interested in this project may contact Murray Hale, Box 164 Wingham, phone 357-3272 during April. After April contact may be made through Mrs. Harold Wild, Box 164 Wing - ham, phone 357-3272.
