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.

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
