approach, to change.

Nurse Education- Under
Education or Health, aroused
differences of opinion. Those in
attendance generally conceded
that there,„ were many
unanswered questions at the
moment, which would have to
be considered carefully before
any change could be made.
Possibility of rabies
epidemic discounted
There' is no fear of a rabies
epidemic in Bruce County. , The
number of ,cases. is what the
Department of Animal Health in
Walkerton has come to expect at
this time of year.
A veterinarian_ at MMM„,the,,•„
Department f Animal Health
said that from the beginning of
August until now the number of
cases of rabid animals has
--increased hut-_ it is --a 'seasonal.
high' and certainly not of
epidemic proportions.
'Grey, ;Huron and Oxford
Counties have J had Rabies
Clinics, but Bruce County had
clinics hi April and probably will
not have them again until next
April, as , the serum is effective
,for a year,
” 'The veterinarian added that
had there not been a clinic in
,April, •the rate of cases is high
enough to justify holding clinics.
The reported cases are not
concentrated in any one area so
there is no need to panic.
However, he did say that there
has been an unusual number of ,
rabid cats in the Chesley Lake
area - six in the last 21/2 months.
He added , that people really
should vaccinate their cats
because a rabid cat is more
dangerous to humans than a
italsii, dovCats-
of the most dange•-ous domestic
animals when they get rabies and
the department would like to see
More cats taken to the clinics.
However, there is need for
caution as a rabid fox was seen
Y' `tti.incardine andoriiedag
and one cow in the area have
been killed already because they
came in contact with a rabid
animal.

Apemen hioiny
Even if cave people had the
brainpower of Albert Einstein
and the advanced , form of
Raquel Welch, they still couldn't
speak better than an ape or a
human infant.
That's the shattering news
Hollywood has to face from a
research team and a computer.
Regardless of his intelligence,
Neanderthal man could not have
spoken a modern language. His
vocal tract apparently w.as much
like that in apes and babies.
The scientists. "began studying
Neanderthal man after noticing
that certain mongoloid children.
who do not talk, have heads
with an infantile shape. They
found that internally,
Neanderthal skulls are similarly
shaped.
The scientists 'reconstructed
the vocal tract. of the apeman
using ,cornparative anatomy and
a corn pater_ to_ simulate speech_
potential. It was found that he -
was missing most of 'the pharynx
that modern•addult man has.
If Hollywood' accepts these
findings, it's back to the old
grunts and hairy bent llodies and
Raquel will 'never 'make another..

Student tour abroad m
discus - • by boa
BY SHIRLEY J. ICELLER
An overseas. tour to London
and Paris by some senior
students at South Huron District
School from March 27 -to March -
30 inclusive,, was not turned
de9wrr by -the board of education
"art its• -Monday etenIng -meeting -
but it was decided that since the
teachers who will accompany
the tour will lose time from'
regular classes, ,they should be,
given a leave of absence without
pay for the occasion.
It Was poilnted 'out by 'Dr.
:,4..1,lex Addison, Clinton, that the
board would . be supporting
"affluent students frons affluent
' families" if the teachers were
permitted to accompany the
tour without question. He said
MoreIanguages
to. be taught
in high schools
An expanded language
program for senior Ontario
secondary school students 'Was
announced last week by
Education ." Minister Robert
Welch.
The secondary school ,,
language program, Which until
now. included only the__ two
official, languages „flus, I.ta1 jun,
German,Spanish, Russian; Latin
and classical Greek, may now be
w broadened to cover any
language, including those of the
native Indian peoples.
The ' courses may be
develope4by schools to suit the
needs of students. After the
coutfseVi,a�s,� been approved by, the
local eFibol board and the
"Department it will be offered as -
a full credit course .toward the
secondary school graduation and
-
honour,graduation diploma. The
new program applies to Grades'
'11,12and 13.
Mr, Welch said the program
will allow schools with sizeable
student bodies of one or more
.cultural groups to introduce the
language of that specific group
of students as full credit course
toward their diploma.
The courses will be taught by_.
certificated teachers fluent in
the. language being taught.
"Secondary school teachers,
principals and local supervisory
officials cqn now ' begin to
develop courses around any
language, history or culture --
which is of special relevance to
their local community. The new
program is in keeping with
Ontario's policy of recognizing
and encouraging the positive
expression of the'' province's
multicultural identity", Mr.
Welch said. _p).
The Minister stated that the
various ethno-cultural groups of
the' province have long striven to
preserve for their children some
knowledge of the. language of '
their parents and grandparents.
It is hoped the new policy will
further strengthen and
encourage+ those efforts, he said. ,
that since not all school students
would be able to participate,
those that stayed _ at home
'needed a.teaher more than ever
to ,compensate . for the
knowledge they would have
gained on the tour.
The board admitted` the
.teachers might abandon the tour
if they were not paid as though
they were in the classroom;
because upon retirement the
• teacher could find himself ' or
herself with extra time to make
up.
However, it was agreed that
these tours could be booked for
a time other than school days -
during the. Christmas or Easter
break, for instance.
The tour from South Huron
HS is to be a . "private
undertaking on the part of The
teachers, acting as private
citizens, and the principal of the
school must give his consent for
the teachers to be absent from
duty on the dates involved.
• The board was more generous
in the case of the SHOHS night
school where an instructor
wanted to set up a cerrami,es class )
and had offered to forgo his
salary and put it toward a kiln
which is vital to the study.,
Board members agreed that
the kiln should be ,purchased
since when it 1,ints no longer in .
use- at SHDHS it could Ale
utilized in other county schools,
aril The instructor's salary- be
paid according to the, regular „
schedule.
In other business the board -
approved mileage allowances of
12 cents per mile for student
services personnel, people who
by -the nature of their work must
visit many schools in the county
and operate their own vehicles; .
heard that construction progress
at the new Seaforth PS addition
is mech-slower than riginally
hoped and that fears now are
that the school will not be
completed,, per, contract at the
end of December; and found
that the next regular board
meeting will be Monday,
November 15 with an academic
presentation at 3:30 pm,
committee of the whole, board •
(In Camera) from 7:30 to 8 pm,
and open meeting at 8 pm.
