When you put AAtrex Liquid to
work on your weeds, you'get more'
than just AAtrex-clean cornfields.
You also get a new ease of
handling, convenience and even
greater efficiency. That's because -
AAtrex Liquid is a liquid suspension
with no dust.
AAtrex Liquid gives you the un-
equalled AAtrex flexibility of applica-
tion: pre -plant, pre -emergent,
post -emergent And AAtrex Liquid
requires only 10 gal/acre for pre -
emergent control and 15 gal/acre
for post -emergent control. So you
can spray more acres per tankful
and take less trips to your
water source.
Plus, you can substitute liquid
fertilizer for water during pre -
emergent spraying and feed while
you weed.
Some carry-over may be found
where spraying has overlapped,
but most crop rotation is unaffected
when AAtrex Liquid is used
according to label rates for most
weeds.
This is what makes AAtrex
Liquid your best choice for
controlling most annual

grasses. AAtrex Liquid. The easiest

speaker, gave an interesting
presentation entitled "Trends in
Elementary School Curriculum":
He stated that, contrary to popu-
lar conception, the school cur-
riculum does not deal solely with
reading, mathematics, spelling,
social studies and science.
Rather the entire school day
makes up the student's curricu-
lum. Even during lunch hour and
recess the child is in a learning
situation.
Parents, through their elected
representative, decide what will
be taught to their children. One of
these elected representatives is
•the Ministry of Education. fp its
curriculum guidelines the
department stresses the three-
fold task of the school. These
tasks are : to. help the child under,
stand the nature of the environ-
ment in which he lives; to lead
the child to choose and accept as
his own those ideals of conduct
and endeavor that a' C1 ristian
and democratic society ap-
proves; to assist the pupil to
master those abilities that are
essential to living in a modern
society.
One of the trends today is to try
and develop the whole person.
Mr. Tokar stressed the difference
between education and training.
Education'should prepare a child
to deal with many situations in
life . whereas training focuses on
only one situation.
Education today is geared to
meeting the needs of the in-
dividual child. In mathematics,
reading and spelling, the children
are grouped to work at their own
level. In our system, special
itinerant teachers are assigned to
Mrs. Jenkins
was native of
Morris Twp.
A resident of Morris Township
for most of her life, Mrs. Edward
B. Jenkins of RR 4, Wingham
died Saturday at the Wingham
and District Hospital following a
lengthy illness. She was in her
92nd year. •
Born in Morris 'township, Mrs.
Jenkins was a daughter of the
late William Isbister and Ellen
Anderson. The former Ellen
Maud Isbister, she received her
education at the Stone School in
Morris. She was a member of St.

each school to assist the child
who needs extra assistance.
In science and social studies a
different approach is used. For
grades one to six a' global picture
is given in social studies. Each
child's interest is accommodated
by allowing them to pursue that
particular phase in which they
are most interested. For in-
stance, if Mexico is the main
topic, some children could ex-
plore the area of Mexican cus-
toms while others would research
the geography of the area.
In science the pupils are given
a broad knowledge of the earth
sciences. It is hoped that in
teaching the children in this way
that we are educating our youth
rather than simply training
them.
On behalf of the parents acid
teachers, Mrs. Raymond Des
Roches thanked Mr. Tokar.
The folk choir, under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Janet Day and'Mrs.
Janet Brophy, and the dance
