Allen Schade returns
Allen Schade, Victoria Street
Public School teacher who left
Goderich earlier this yea k to
work in Jamaica schools, has
found it necessary to return to
Canada because of receiving
tropical illness. He is presently
visiting with his parents in
Vancouver.
As aCUSO volunteer, Mr.
Schade taught in Lime Tree
Gardens,described by Mr. Schade
as "the most rugged -area of
Jamaica" with "the worst
poverty and educational system
possible."
His classroom was small and
windowless, the only lighting
coming through the open
doorway. Eighty-five Grade 9
students studied there, without
the benefit of books, paper and
pencils.
The other buildings in the
school compound were like pole
barns — no walls, only roofs.
As well as the intense heat
and humidity, Mr. Schade and
the rest of his staff (14
Jamaicans with only Grade 9
education) had to contend with
1 donkeys and goats which
wandered in at will.
Students do not attend classes
regularly in Jamaica, noted Mr.
Schade, probably because
- Entertainment by Gail, Cathy
and Glenda Jamieson of
Lucknow was enjoyed.
*.A poem, composed by .
Marion Harris of, Holyrood, was
read by Janet Splan of
Woodstock. Mrs. Stuart
Jamieson, Mrs. Arthur Short and
Gail Jamieson sang as a trio. Bere
Spettigue of London proposed a
toast td the celebrating couple.
The couple received messages
of congratulations, many floral
"tributes and gifts.
Mr,. Jamieson, the son of the
late Mr. and Mrs. John Jamieson
of Lucknow, married the former
Sidney Belle McInnes, daughter
of the late Mr. and Mrs. Daniel
McInnes of Langside 1919.
They farmed, in Ashfield
Township until moving to
Goderichln 1942.
The Jamiesons have one
daughter, Mrs. J. (Isabelle) Splan
of Woodstock, and one son,
Stuart of Lucknow. There are

education is not compnisory.
The fact that most studeo,s
travelled 11 9r nlyes a day to
§chool each day may have been
another reason.
Average income in the area
'around Lime Tree Gardens was
$25 (Canadian) ' per year. Most
people fanned.
"I found the people 'there
wonderful and friendly," Writes
Mr. Schade. "I loved the people
very much although I didn't
adore their food as much."
Mr. Schade didn't like curried
goat, boiled green bananas and
fried plantain for breakfast.
In his room in the home Of a
Jamaican family he was in
company with rats and
three-inch black widow spiders.
He •studied by coal oil lamp and,
of course, enjoyed no indoor
plumbing.
There were not even roads in
that district of Jamaica. ,
Before leaving the country for
home, Mr. Schade learned, that
the school is soon to, be
demolished by the Kaiser
Bauxite Company, which owns
the area around ' Lime Tree
Gardens. All the buildings of the
school are located on rich
bauxite deposits.

emphasized
Changes in teaching methods
are taking both teacher and
student out of the classroom.
At the Centralia College of
Agricultural Technology,
emphasis is placed on student
activity. Sicudents enrolled in the
Home Economics course are
exposed not only to on -campus
food and clothing courses but
also to such off -campus activities
as ballet,, theatre, art and music.
The college, located 25 miles
north of London, in the Huron
Industrial Park, is quite far from
the targe commercial areas, so
that regular field trips . and
in -ser vice training in the cities
mak o up part of the home
economies program. Included in
these projects are visits to the
Onl,ario Science Centre, the
Mc Michael Art Collection of the
Group of Seven painters at
Klieinbu,rg, the Canadian
R estaurant Convention, the
Design Centre and fashion
houses in Toronto.

The two-year diploma course
in Home Economics prepares
students for work in three
possible areas. Those graduating
in the, Foods Course are
qualified to work as food
supervisors and managers in
hospitals, restaurants, plants,
college and 'school dining rooms
and•cafeterias.
The graduate from the
Community Homemaker Course
can work as an auxiliary worker
in social, health, or welfare
agencies in the London area with
food and clothing
demonstrations and talks.
For those who hold a diploma
in the Clothing Course, there are
'possible- openings with
.department stores as interior
decorators or trainees as bridal
eonsultants, fashion
commentators, or as laboratory
technicians ' in the textile
industry.
In 1968 there were 21 Home
Economics graduates.
Twenty-two are expected to
graduate in 1969.

It was two high school
students who first discovered
the possibility of creating "skid
batiks" for burn victims—and
now their work has led to a
full-scale investigation by -top
scientists.
The breakthrough happened
because the students—like their
professional counterparts who
are studying radiation—had
been fortunate enough to
conduct practical experiments
and not just read about radia-
tion in science class..
Focal point of such ex-
periments is the Gammator 50,
a machine which demonstrates
the effects. of gamma rays (a
type of electromagnetic radia-
tion of great penetrating
power) on cells, seeds, fruit
flies,a laboratory, animals or-
ganic materials, plastics and
other, substances. With total
safety, students using the
machine have begun to under-
stand the importance of the
peaceful uses of radiation.
Gamma irradiation influ-
ences to some degree almost
every living thing and most
materials. Each object reacts
differently to varying doses.
Too much- radiation (in the
case of living tissues and organ-
isms) has a lethal effect. Just
the right amount can stimulate
th,e growth of seeds, inhibit
seed growth so they Will store
longer, pasturize foods, pre-
serve meats definitely, prOduce
genetic change and accomplish
niany other important tasks.
The Gammator has been
installed in a number of high
schools. It is useful in studying
the life sciences, as well as
chemistry, physics, art and
even home economics, accord-
ing to Milton Packin, president
of the Radiation Machinery
Corporation of Parsippany,
New Jersey, makers of the
machine. The finn provides

ducted with it.
The Gammator 50 has re-
ceived license approval by the
Atomic Energy Commission
for unrestricted laboratory
areas in high schools . . . the
only unit to be approved' for
high schools in the world. Lead
shielding covers the radioactive .,
source and tests are conducted '
in a small chamber rotated to
the rear of the unit. Moreover,
nothing irradiated.twith 'gamma
rays becomes radioactive itself.
Nucleus for future atomic
age experiments by students,
the Gammator 50 weighs
almost a ton and stands about
five feet high. Cost—which has
been often raised by civic .
groups as well as the schools
-themselves—is $3,875.
"Considerable work has been
done in the past on the damag-'
ing effects of radiation, but too
little has been done about the
beneficial effects," relates Mr.
Packin.. "The Gammator 50
makes it easy for high school
students to studythe applica-
tions of the peaceful uses of
radiation."
