Master of ceremonies for the evening was Township Feder- ation president, Elmer Hunter. Main feature of , the evening was an address by Mr. • Murray Gaunt, MPP. His topic was "Education." Mr. Gra''thit• pointed out that most people 'are interested in education not only because of themselves but because their children are directly involved. Each year, $416,000,000 is spent' on education in Ontario, he said. The 14-19 • year age group WOOL and ,NYLON make up 13% of the total labor - force,,,and they are 35% of the unemployed, mainly because of lack of higher education, Mr. Gaunt said. The speaker discussed the new courses now in effect'in the 'high schools and pointed to some of -the" disadvantages arising` from them. Most of the problems 'concern pupils being guided into one coarse and, a few years later, realize they want to be in some other course. They have to repeat one or two or more years. This, the speaker thought, was one fo the causes of drop -outs. • Mr. Gaunt pointed out that .one of, the ' principal aims of education is to develop young peoples' skills and mould their attitude, to help them take. their place in society. .. Community colleges_ in Cali- fornia have been under study by this province, and Mr, Gaunt thought their ideas could be put to good advantage in On- tario, with a few alterations. Following• his address, Mr. Gaunt answered several ques- tions-frenrhe floor; --- During the evening, retiring Reeve Ralph Jewell thanked the ratepayers of Colborne for giv- ing him the reeveship.

European Plowmen, Huron people'may be hosts to the world's plowmen when the International i's•held at Seaforth in McKillop in 1966.
