Attention students,
Teachers in short supply
There is a Ontario-wi-de 4ihor-
tage of teachers, members of
the Huron ° county board' of
educationlearned at their
August meeting,, on" Monday.
Following an offhand comment
by Robert Allan, one of the four
superintendents of education,
that many board€, were having
probleths getting teachers,
Trustee . Marion Zinn 'asked.
him to elaborate.
"I think our grade 13's and
those• whf have been unable to
get teaching jobs -should hear
this," the trustee from RR 2,
Lucknow, said. ,
While teaching summer
school recently'. Mr. Allan said,
he had talked to quite a num,.
ber .of principals who had not
been able to fill all the vacan-•
cies on their staffs. "There are
a large number -of jobs riot
filled 'in Western Orttarici," he
,,titl.
"It's a ge.teralized problem" he
said "but of,course ,as.the jobs
become more specialized they
are more difficult to fill."
The over -supply of teachers
in,recent years has probably cut
down on those entering the.
profession, , Mr. Allan said,
along with the increasing
qualifications required'toateach.
in the province.
The Huron County board at
the present has two teather
Vacancies, A full • time oral
French teacher is needed to
divide ,teaching duties ,between
twp schools. A half-time French
Teacher is needed for- Hullett
Central School and a half-time
librarian for Hullett Central -
School. "We are working
locally, trying to find people in-
terested in these •..positions",
another superintendent said.

Th± burner ,wi-th-a-brain.
It's one of .the features in natural
gas ranges. And orie of tl&.efeatures
you should 'seriously consider when.
you're thinking of,replacing:your
present gas range. - '
.Qjiite.simply, the burner -with --
brain thermostatically maintains a
preset temperature. It turns the gas on
or off, depending on your setting •
(just like the thermostat in your house).
So youtre"never „using more energy
than is needed for the job.
What that means is that you can
leave a stew simmering all clay, knowing
it's doing just -that.,Simmering. You
can pop popcorn without shaking the .
,pot, melt chocolate, directly6over the
flame, or keel coffee )lust below perking.
Now that's sensible. But then, so are
its other. features: "For one; natural gas is
efficient. There's no refining or generating
involved, so you're getting fuel energy
right from its source. And that's a wise
and efficient use of energy..
.And gas ranges come with the
ftlQst contemporary features. You'll find
the ,with, continuous cleaning ovens,
self -timing ovens, and micro -ray broilers,,.
and all the latest styles, with colours
,,,to match your decor. • But talking won't
:convince you. You have to�bsee them
yourself. Because we know you have a '
mind of your own.
