Special education needed
You may have read tie story in Last
week's .Signal -Star concerning the move
toward a special, education program in
hlal�rr n Cogs ty schools. '
(ob 'may- have decided it was just •.
arlother method. the Huron Q.ounty Board
sof Educatiop has devised to .spend the
taxpayers -money,
Y.ou may even have hissed and:snorted
cost ,::: over $200.,000: the first year with ---,
a firm promise that expenses will increase
sharply the second year.
if that was your reaction, it is evident
/OU are not a parent with a child in the 15
o 20 percenf of the total Huron County
school population who experience various
rinds of learning'disabilities .... handicaps
is real, as being born with one short arm
' r a twisted ankle.
it is also possible that ..you are not
nterested in utilizing every ounce of
)rainpower this county can muster -. for
thildren with special learning disabilities
ire often the brightest youngsters in the
;lass, and their potential is lost' only
through misunderstanding .,and lack• of
'acilities. °
It
Dr. Barry Deathe of Goderich made' it
clear at the nomination• meeting in town
last fall that he would work to ,improve
the-oliporturt1ties for • children with
learning disabilities., At last week's
meeting of the Huron County. Board of
Education, it was Dr: Deathe who spoke
with complete conviction concerning the
growing , need for ,special. education
H'urorrno-mater:vviTat
fotai-gostwould be.
As a, --medical doctor, Dr. Deathe
assured the members of the board of
education in this county that children
with learning' disabilities are here with us
right now. There is a , fairly high
percentage bf them. They are usually
responsive , t9. special teaching methods.
They can be rescued from a lifeof
frustration which can often lead to\
emotional problems, unemployment, even
lavv breaking.
• In t .tharegard, claims Dr. Deathe,. yo.0
are not chasing rainbows or'' throwing
good tax dollars after bad. •You are
building for the future -„your future and
the future of the other fellow - and after
all, that's what education is all about; isn't
it?

"Only after death do ,you
have absolutely no stress at all,”
says Dr. Hans Selye, director of .
the Institute- of Expernental
Medicine at the University Of ,
,Montreal.
with,
• stress,” he continues. "The best
way is°''tdCliere1op a logical way
•of life." ,.
• I came'' cross"' this' bit of
Wisdom while opening Thursday"
morning's mail at my. desk in the
Signal -Star office. I must say its
message was just, the word of
enco,ura:gement ' ('-or
,discouragement if 'yon like) that
I needed at that , Moment- I
s°upposel almost everyone has
days' when stye s and 'strain
surface and make life miserable.
Dr; Sele defines stream• as an
alertness of the body to sheet an
emergency or a "call to arms"
by the body..
"Stress is not necessarily bad'
for you because it is a part 'of
. ever, living -activity," points out
Dr. Selye. "Certain stresses are
• almost invariably bad. 'Constant
censure and humiliation is most
stressful." •
• But here 'cornes'the cl'i°ncher.
"To cope with ,stress_ v cru
should try, to turn your work,
into play," says Dr. Selye.
"Work is what4yOn have to do.
Play is what you want to do. It
may 'be the same thing. ,,,What is
'work for ont{ person is. play for
another. Itis harmful ,to work: it
is not at all harmful to play." •
"The wisdom is to,make your
work play," the doctor ghes on.
"Many outstanding people 'have'
• used this concept with great
success. It' is a fallacy to think.
- that the salvation 'of humanity
should be to work Less and less.
ryand have more leisure. Leisure
hours for what? What do we
-want to do With this leisure?
•laving no work is one of the
greatest punish'lents to which a
human being , can be
committed."'
"Efficient 'people who are
good at their job don't look,
forward to retirement. It is the
people who have' not been very
successful who 'want to take
refuge 'in doing nothingz•-•T'hen
they don't know what to 'do
with themselves," ,Dr. Selye says:
"If we want more leisure
hours we ought to try to find
things that we consider play,,'and
that amuse tis. People should be
productive and also respect what
they are doing,", he concluded.
The whole thing, of coarse, is
td enjoy your work. If you are a
he usewiife who doesn't
particularly ' enjoy domestic
chores, you may be under more
stress and strain at home doing
what you don't like to do than
that al'you.itfonwho puts in a
.. art& thbrr' ooititre; 'home, =to' °et;►hi
up a bit . of dinner and do a
couple of loads of washing.
Vit► i gum we s iaiild all take -
Stock. We should 'decide whit. it
that wottld make us. the
4pile arid triers proceed
that, ti e1 that is if
you fel that 'life has too 'Much
stress nd strain to bear. If you
don't feel much pressure, you
are probablt in your proper ,
niche in life and 'hings can't get
much better for.you. a .

I was over'to Tinkertown on'
Thursday morning and .• was-..
absolutely delighted with what I
found there.,, The gals who
,,worked so ,..hard to get .that
co-operative nursery-" .scliaol
going are°to be commended for a•
job well done.
The •faeilities•at"St. "George's
Anglican Church are ideal. The
members of that'churc,h ,rn,av not
know. it, butt•:they •have the
_,.heartfelt' thanks of every
youngster and 'his.or her mother
for so generously 'providing such
fine surroundings.
Tfie girls who.4 have been
working on this project' realize
now that Che location for the
nursery- school . is of prime
importance .... and St. George's
church has' just the right kind of
accommodation.
I five always believed that it
we could 'utilize the fine
facilities already available in our
.carious churches •and schools,, it
w,ould,.cut down on the amount
of tax dollars required t� build
additional' accommodation 'for
jtiST such ' ''organizations as
Tinkertown: I'm really pleased
that the congregation at ..St.'
,George's. has seen fit to make
thfs spot available to Tinkertown °
and I know that the Tinkeftown'
executive iS appreciative enough
to co-operate in every 'sense' to
ensure • the happiness' - of "all
concerned.
* * *.
I have been in .touch with
Mrs. Betty Reid of the Goderich
and Area Association • for the
Mentally Retarded and I find
that she has •had some 'response
to her quest for people to staff a
- mothers -morning -out servicer ---
Once again, a location fo'r this
worthwhile venture is a problem
but Betty assures me 'she has
high hopes that one, of the local
churches, will come through for
her and the ' people „ she`
represents.
Betty says she has a number
Qf volunteers now Tor this work
and ' just as soon ' as • the
accommodation is found-, the•
service willtikety begin.
That's great .... and my
. sincere thanks to all those who
responded to the needs of the
Association:
By the way, you may find the
aims and objectives of the
Association to be the most
worthwhile .,project in the area
.... and you may want to know
more 'about it and how you can
help. ,In that event pleaw,,e
Retarded needs you .... so badly:..

It. Seems that church balls are
•getlting the' bulk of my attention
this 'week. Actually it wasn't
planned just. that way. It just
happened_ ^....
The parish. hall at St: Peter's
Church was a hive of activity.. last
-week when the „Indian studepts ,
frown Moose Factory were in
town with • their hosts• • from
•Kingsbridge. ,
I -went over to the hall and,'
spent7 a few • minutes 'with the
group. ' I must Say.' I was
impressed - with the youngsters ,
from Moose Factory.. : and
with' 'their teacher, Danny-.--
tY-altnt'i`, ..-
I airy .always•intiriguel... by
someone" like Danny who has so
much understanding and
compassion for . people' .... and
who is ' blessed with.. the
opportunity to give tithe and' °"'`
energy ,}ri the pursuit of that
deep conviction that qUl people
are one in the'sight of God.
With...so many of us, it is all
talk .... but with fellows like
. Danny it is a way of life which
Makes meeting him such an
;extreme pleasure.
I chatted briefly with Brian
Davey and Marlene Cheechoo,
two of the Grade 7 students
from' Moose Factory. .1t—is' rr,o
doubt' that these youngsters..felt
just• a little, nervous as our
conversation took place, I guess-....:
when 'you are 800 miles from
home and 12 years old, you have
a righty to be a little frightened
and suspicious of those you
meet. • w • a�
Both''kids told me the climate
here was something which they
found (referent about this.'part
of Ontario -,,: .and Brian had
noticed there were "more cars
and more people" than' in his
hometown.
' Like any young .gal... Marlene
had noted the girls' fashions.
down here were ' a little less
moderate that. in Moose
Factory. According,' to Marlene,
there just are no hot pants in,
that part of the province:
The Kingsbridge students are.
making a "return visit to Moose
Factory next month. It will be
interesting to hear their
comments upon their return.
