AISO along the swimming line, a
neW type of course is being
*tined by the recreation direc-
-tars of the Lake Huron Zone.
Mot Summer staff at pools have
had training on the theories and
practices of the various strokes
and skills of actual swimming but
never had training regarding how
to conduct themselves around
pool situations, ie: how to deal
with people, deportment, dis-
cipline, public relations, and staff
cohesion. This is a first in the
province to our knowledge for
this type of leader program.
Application For
Summer Staff
Applications for positions at the
pool and other summer programs
are now available. They can be
picked up at the arena or F. E.
Madill Secondary School office.
These are to be returned by
March 27.
Board Members Of
Area Meeting
Lake Huron Zone is divided into
seven cluster groups. Wingham is
in a group that comprises East
and West Wawanosh, Turnberry,
Howick, Belgrave and Wingham.
On Thursday, March 13 the
members of this cluster group
meet with cluster group seven
which lies to the south of us to dis-
cuss ways arid means of operat-
ing
perating or co-operating wi : pro-
grams and facilities between
urban and rural people. We hope
to gain some insight and knowl-
edge throw ;u 'scansions at itss
"grass root" level.
Midget Tournament
The annual Midget Tourna-
ment means a busy time for the
arena. This time of year playoffs
also disrupt regular playi ,; g
times and with the tournament in
the midst of it all, confusion
seems to take over as all
organizations concerned must be
notifiedof changes. And speaking
of changes, Orillia, Hespeler and
Belle River have dropped out of
the tournament. To replace them,
Fraser Michigan, Goderich and
Forest, respectively. Each year
it has happened. Teams are not
allowed to participate in tourna-
ments if playoff schedules would
be disrupted.
Skate Sharpener
By the time this report gets to
you a new skate sharpener will be
installed at the arena. It is hoped
that this will be a welcome addi-
tion to our facility.
Gymnastics
Under the capable leadership
of Sheila Stapleton, a girls' W
gymnastics club has beer i
flourishing all winter. They ar e
taking a break now until after the
winter school break. Then they
will be hard at it again until June
when they will "show their shelf"
at their .. second annual gym-
nastics show. This has been a
very successful program.

Kindergarten made Peanut
butter on Friday. We cooled it in
the fridge and ate it with
crackel s for our snack in, the
afternoon.
Grade 5 and 6 have completed
their science projects on
domestic animals. We have also
completed reading the novel "Old
Yeller". Possibly we will obtain
the film. On the llth of March we
are having a penny auction. We
are also planning a carnival with
the Public School if the snow
remains.
—Pauline Schmidt
Grade 7 and 8 are working
diligently compiling information
and obtaining facts for a pro-
ject on "Indians". Did you know
that the Chippewas pushed the
Sioux out of their land? Did you
know that if you misbehaved in
Apache territory that your
punishment would be—being _
dragged by a runaway horse?
Thursday was the last for
Grade 7 and 8 Bowling. Most of us
improved but some who had al -
read established an average
stayed the same. The highest
single was bowled by Danica
Rammeloo who ,scored 192. The
second was Paul Morrison, who
got 183. The highest for the two
games was bowled by Paul
Morrison with 333. The next was
David Schmidt who scored 326.
We had fun bowling and we hope
to persuade Mr. Steffler into
Sacred
Heart
Mailbox
letting us go a few more times.

social organizations have pitched
in to help the tournament com-
mittee: The Wingham Lions Club

dors for the event and will meet
and greet the visiting teams and

together small kits including sou-
venirs and mementoes of the
Town of Wingham and the mem-
bers of each team will receive
one.
The Kinsmen Club members
will be on duty both weekends as
ticket sellers and taker at the
arena. The Wingham Senior Citi-
