(CHSS photo) e slip's future areas which students can major in. Huron County and Ontario are in dire need of skilled labourers especially machinists. Since C.H.S.& may not be producing tech grads in the future this will discourage growth , of in- dustry in Innis c ommunity. If the shop is kept open, the mill rate will not rise ap- preciably. If it is dosed the mill rate will not decrease. Yet the board complains of having insufficent funds to keep the shop open. Will we really be saving in the end if the shop is closed? For example if it is closed for two years C H.S.S. will not be producing Mech Tech grads for 5 years. The repercussions this could cause are staggering. I personally think that the board has no grounds for closing any tech shop and should revoke its derision. Public input on this subject would be greatly ap- preciated. A DLO -her ire i> 111 article will follow this one in next week's "Chronicle". Chronicle quiz time again Last week's quiz was called on account of in- clement weather. The Chronicle once again proudly presents intellectual stimulation for you, the masses. Captain Kirk landed on a distant outpost planet called Delton. He met three inhabitants of the planet on a road leading to a city. Kirk (t—towing that KIigogn spies were active in Delton's solar system) had to determine which inhabitants were Deltons, and which were Lingon infiltrators. Deltons always tell the truth while Klingon spies are programmed so that they always lie. During a discussion, Kirk heard an unintelligible murmur from the first inhabitant. The second inhabitant replied, "He said he was a Klingon spy". The third said to the second, "You're a liar." Which inhabitant did Kirk blast with hisphasee gun? (Answers will appear to a few stardates) +++ The answer to the last quiz. There are 60 x 60 x 60 or 216,000 possible com- binations. At 5 seconds per combination try, Joe can take up to a maximum of 1,080,000 seconds before he can successfully open a lock. This translates to 300 hours or 121/2 days. Joe could open the lock in five minutes, but then Joe could easily win a major prize from Wintario.
