HERB WingELER Teachers now • scarce item board learns There is a an -Ontario-wide shortage of teachers, members of the Huron county Board of Education learned at their • August meeting on Monday. Following an offhand comment by Mr. Allan, one of the four superintendents of education, that many boards were having problems getting teachers, Trustee Marion Zinn asked him to elaborate. "I think our Grade 13's and those who have been unable to get teaching jobs should hear this," the trustee from RR 2, Lucknow, said. While teaching summer school recently Mr. Allan said, he had talked to quite a number of prin- cipals who bad not been able to fill all the vacancies on their staffs. "There are a large number of jobs not filled in Western Ontario," he said. "It's a generalized problem," he said, "but of course as the jobs become more specialized they are more difficult to fill." The over -supply of teachers in recent years has probably cut down on those entering the pro- fession Mr. Allan said, along with the increasing qualifications re- quired to teach in the province. - The Huron County Board at the present has two teacher vacan- cies. A full time oral French teacher is needed to divide teach- ing duties between two schools. A half-time French teacher is needed for Hullett Central School and a hidf-time librarian for Hullett Central School. "We are working locally, trying to find people interested in these posi- tions," another superintendent said. The early Inuit of the rich Mackenzie Delta region of the Northwest Territories enjoyed such a ready supply of food that the people were able to live in large bands and enjoy an elaborate social life. RE o erls frican drou • CARE, the international relief and development organization,. launched a nationwide appeal, for funds to flnance.expanded, aid to save countless families in the droUghtrdevattated Sahel coimtrieffiffrAfriek• Thomas Kines, National Director, CARE Canada, said that CARE staff reports froM countries in the region indicate that famine conditions were being encountered in more -find more areas. • "Six years of severe drought have resulted in enormous human tragedy," Mr. Kines said. "Emaciated families in ever- increasing numbers roam vast areas in a vain -search for food and Water and the number of destitute men, women and children rises each day. "International aid to Sabellian Africa has been substantial but every hour makes it clearer that accelerated aid is crucial. With our long experience in disaster relief we can save many, many lives if enough concerned Cana- dians help provide the required funds." CARE is currently providing aid in Chad and Niger, two of the hardest-hit nations, and in Nigeria, whose northern areas are critically affected. In Niger, since CARE aid began in June, 1973, more than $3 million worth of relief shipments — ranging frOm ready -to -eat survival biscuits to medicines and water barrels have been distributed or are on the way. CARE is also buying and distributing daily es- sentials such as food grains, soap, pots for destitute families. In Chad, where CARE operations began in May, 1974, almost $2 million worth of sur- vival and baby foods and medical, supplies have arrived or are en route. Drought refugees in Chad are to be employed on a food -for - work basis on vital self-help projects. But the immensity of the catastrophe far exceeds the aid available. In Niger's Bosso Valley, CARE has also begun a water -supply and agricultural recovery program. Families in 10 villages, comprising 14,000 people, are being equipped and taught to drill new wells or deepen existing wells to reach new water sources for drinking and simple irrigation to grow vegetables. CARE provides both the know-howand the means: shovels, cement, pumps, seeds, fertilizer and insecticides. More villages will be helped as resources permit. Fish farm ponds, too, are soon to be.established along the Niger River. In Nigeria, self-help water - supply programs have been expanded in two drought - scorched states. Of 100 new wells to serve 50,000 villagers, which CARE built in North Central State, one-third have been -coin- • ideted, Some .800 .exiatOg welli are being deepned In State200newwellsaretOtJ "All pOsabIet survival foode and' silpydlee nrinitotolo' moving 10 'MOW people," M Kines said.
