. With Shirley J. Kam.
This is really so confusing
that I don't know whether I can
explainit or not ...but I'm just
dumb enough a) try. I'm writing
this column today which iS not
today but two weeks ago
today....or in other words, I
wrote this column when I was
here for when I wasn't here even
though I would be here.
Now that, you are thoroughly,
confused, let me explain.
I'm writing this column
Thursday, September 24 for the
Thursday, ' October 8 edition.
The reason? I won't be here next
week from Oct. 1 through 4
when I usually do my copy. I
will return Monday, October 5
but it will be too late to d�
everytliing....so I'm just getting a
head start on things. I hope you
don't mind.
That's the reason the subject
matter of this column MAY be
old stuff to you. Forgive me,
please.

Last, week we talked about a Mr. „Broadfoot claimed that

I'rp convinced there were many

Last meeting; the members of
the board of education in Huron
approved the construction of an
industrial arts shop and a home
economics classroom at the
proposed new addition for
Seaforth Public .School.
There was some opposition to
the plan from some of the most
unlikely quarters, notably John
Broadfoot from the Brucefield
area. I say Mr. Broadfoot was a
surprise dissenter because the
children of • the families he
represents will likely benefit
directly from the iri.chtsion of
industrial arts and home

By the time you read this,

. mothers and other interested
adults will take the time to call

524-95451, with their comments.
Of, course, the more I think

But lobk what exercise has
done for Bonnie Pruden....or Ed
Allen if you are a fellow who
happens to be sneaking a look at
this section of the paper. '
Bonnie Pruden, I guess, is one
of the best examples of what
exercise. can do for a woman. I
° • don't know just exactly how old
Bonnie is (some say she is over
50) but she looks as though she
is no more than 25 or, 30.
Aside from keeping a woman
young and slim, callesthenics
tend to give a woman poise and

cannot be over -emphasized, of
cOurse. And most young women

There are other rewards from
a proper exercise program. One
of these is the extra good health

follows.

Canadians are permitting
themselves, to get flabby and

exert ourselves at all anymore.
• I. really think we must teach

• young hew to exercise. °Maybe a
callesthenics class would be a.
Start in the right direction.
So, like Mr. Broadfoot, I have
doubts about the value of such
courses, especially at the
elementary school level.
But generally, I agree with
vice-chairman Bob Elliott who
felt that including. a new
program in Huron County
schools at this point was putting

Of course, as M. Marilyn
-Kunder of Seaforth pointed out,
the governntent waS, offering
these classrooms free of charge
as a pilot project in Huron. Btit
who is the government? and who
actually pays the bills in the
final analysis?
I remarked to Bob Elliott in
private • conversation # that I
supposed it would be stupid to
turn down the generous offer of
the government —' or more
specifically,' the • Ontario
Department of Education.
- "I could," stated Elliott. "I
WOULD."
I- think Bob feels that there
, are many other things that are
rnore vitally needed in Huron
County. Perhaps like Clarence
McDonald of Exeter, Bob thinks
that it is top priority to see to it
that every school in the county
has a good library resource
centre.
The Director of Education of
the county, John Cochrane, said
it was important not to hold
-back alkparts...of...Huron County-'
until, as he* put4t, -.Plinth the

And I think Mr, Cochrane
envisions a much longer wait, for
