The Goderich Signal-Star, 1975-06-05, Page 21Two Huron teachers.•
off to attend seminar
in �ussiun setting
(Intended for last week)
Ron McKay of Clinton,
principal of Hensall Public
School, and Bill Weber of
Egmondville, a physical
education teacher at Central
Huron Secondary School in
Clinton, are taking advantage
of a once-in-a-lifetime op-
portunity to attend a physical
education seminar in Russia.
Mr. McKay and Mr, Weber
are among 85 Canadians'
making the trip.
McKay said last week, "I'm
really excited about the next
three weeks. It will be a busy
time and not' all fun and games
but I'm looking forward to the
trip.
McKay • and Weber left
London,. airport Monday
morning at 6 a.m.' • The
Canadian group will include
teachers recreation leaders
and hockey coaches from
across the country. Also at-
tending will be Jim Casburn of
the = London PUC recreation
staff.
the course is three weeks in
length and will examine the
physical education curricula in
primary, secondary and post-
secondary Russian institutions
for both male and female
students.
The tour is sponsored by
Concordia University in
Montreal and is partly sub-
sidized by the USSR govern-
ment. The Huron board of
education is paying a large
share of expenses for the two
Garden Club
area teachers.
The courses will consist of 51
hours of lectures and a similar
amount of time will be spent in
practice sessions in volleyball,
basketball; track and field,
wrestling, hockey and gym-
nastics.
The course is broken into
sections. One is for overall
physical education aspects and
the second is for hockey.
specialists.
Highlighting the activities
outside the actual seminar will
be visits to the Kremlin, Red
Square,. Moscow Circus, riiajor
league soccer, the Bolshoi
,ballet and .fin international'
track and field meet.
Adding to his original
comments that it would be a
busy time the Hensall teacher
commented "We will be putting
in a lot of long days. On most
days the agenda has us
finishing, breakfast by 7:30 in
the morning and continuing in
the various activities until
nearly midnight."
"We certainly hope to bring
back a lot of information on
Russian techniques and
making this available to the,
Huron board of education and
other members of the teaching
'staffs.",
•
"This will give us a chance to
look at an entirely different
physical sports and recreation
program. Obviously they are
doing something. right."
Members getting -ready
for June :flower show
(Intended for last week)
The Senior Garden Club held
its annual plant auction last
WednOday evening at St.
Mary's school.' As usual,
members contributed a wide
variety of plants from their
gardens- - everything. from the
familiar, ~chrysanthemums 'to
primroses, ' which are rare in
'this part of the world. Jean
McKee and Pat Rivett werethe
auctioneers and bidding was
brisk until all the plants were
'sold. '
A few junior members' at
tended the meeting and they, in
turn, invited ,,,the senior
members to their meeting on
-June 6. Mrs. Moorhead will be
giving them .pointers on
preparing flowers. for showing
in competition. When this. is
done well, the flowers not only
make a 'better 'impression on
the judges, but will remain
fresh for ,the duration of the
show.
Berithe Jessop reported that
plans were under way, for the
June flower show. She
recommended that members
read the rules in the Year Book
carefully before they prepare
their entries;. also that they
obtain their entry forms early
and decide which classes , to
enter.
The, question of whether to
give money prizes in ribbons to
the winners at the Flower.
Shows was discussed and, after
a closed ,ballot,.it was found
that the ,members prefer cash
prizes. It was also decided to
leave existing trophies swith the
personso.who had won them
most often.'
Mrs. Johnstone had been the
delegate to the • District 8
Annual Meeting in Teeswater,
and presented a very in-
teresting report to the Club. She
said the Goderich Garden Club
was well represented by both
adults and young people.
Ruth Beutenmiller outlined
the plans for a bus trip to
London on, Saturday, May 31.
The bus will leaVe the Post
Office at 8 a:m. and the tour
will include a, visit to the
University of Western Ontario
greenhouses, lunch at The
Garage, a tour of Eldon House
and a trip to Storybook Gar-
, dens. -The $6.00 charge includes
all expenses except admission
to Storybook Gardens, as it was
felt that many members would
prefer to just relax in the park
or visit the greenhouse: It' is
still not too .late for members
and friends to join the group
and it promises to be 'a very
enjoyable outing.
Jean • Barnett has been
writing the column "Garden
Gossip" for the Signal Star and
said. she would welcome some
assistance with it. It is difficult
for one person to prepare
enough material for a weekly
column. It was suggested that •
the readers of the. column call
the Signal=$tar and let them
have their comments or
suggestions.
The 'door " prize for this
meeting , was donated by
Brenda Gi')son and Gwen Kiar
and the winning ticket was held ss -
by Grace Young.
This was- the „last regular.,
meeting of the Garden Club
until the fall, b t each month
will bring a special event. The
Spring ° Flower Show ,will be
held on June . 28; the Flower
Festival will be held again in
conjunction with the Festival of
the Arts July 17 18, and 19; and
there „will be flower shows 'in
August and September.
Members already have their
Year Books withgdetails about.
the classes in each' show.
Anyone else wanting to par-
ticipate is most welcome - just
call Frances Worsell and she
will see that you get ^'a Year
Book.

To: The Members of Council, and Ratepayers.ol the ° Corporation
of the Town of Goderich.
1 have examined the 1974 financial statements• of the Cor-
poration of the Town of Goderich andits local boards, which are
listed on the attached Index. My examination included a general
review of the accounting procedures and,sueh tests of accounting
records and other supporting evidence as I considered necessary
in the circumstances.,
In, my opinion these financial statements present fairly the
financial position of the Corporation•of the Town of Goderich and
its local boards as at December 31st, 1974, and the results of their
operations `for th_e_ year "then ended, in accordance wtth ac-
counting principles• generally accepted for Ontario
municipalities applied on a basis consistent with that of the
preceding year.
