( Alan Rivett photo) School has newspaper BLYTH - Four enterprising Grade 7 Blyth Public School students in Mr. Yeats'. class have started their own newspaper for the school. 1 Kelly Cook, Tabatha Montgomery, Leah Richmond and Tammy Bearss worked hard to get the first edition to the students, and the second edition should be out shortly. Reporters have been appointed to each grade, and its their job to report classroom events, special features, sports contests and humorous happenings. The paper also features a short story each week -. the first one by Jenny Allen of Grade 8 called Destiny of Death. It is hoped the newspaper will continue to give Blyth students the "sco.op" on local events. Chaunce 's airstyling Queen St. Blyth, Ont.

Concern has been raised by council members and parents that additional super- vision is needed for the children involved in the program. This summer two full-time counsellors and a part-time assistant were in charge of 115 children. While no com plaints were raised about the program or the counsellors' work, concern has been voiced that additional supervision help is re- quired in order to maintain the quality of the program and ensure the safety of the children. Blyth requested government assistance at provincial and federal levels for eight sum- mer employees this,. year. Funding was given from the provincial government to cover the salary of one full-time counsellor. The second salary was paid from village coffers. Children from Blyth, Hullett, East Wawanosh and Morris Townships took part in the summer program. Blyth Council cave some conl+,'`lderation to requesting tingnCial supppo�rt from the area municlpalitiesobut a breakdown of registration figures showed that. the n'iajority of children involved'came from Blyth. Ninety-four of the children (82 per cent) came from Blyth; eight children (sevel}.per cent) frorn East Wawanosh; seven children (six per cent) from Morris; six children (five per cent) from Hulled Township. The projection for the 1986 program estimates that the same number of children will take part in the program. Costs estimated for four youth employees, work- ing seven hours a day for eight weeks at $4.15 an hour total $5,200. That figure could be reduced by $1,300 with a grant to cover one salary, leaving the village balance at $3,900. Based on the registration figures, the costs could be split by the four participating municipalities: Blyth, $3,198; East Wawanosh, $273; Morris, $234; Hullett, $195. If funding was available to pay the salaries of two youths, the total cost could be $2,600 and shares would be divided as: Blyth,"t,1:f3; Last Wawanosh, $182; Morris, $156; Hallett, $130. council had anticipated that a breakdown of registration figures would show a higher percentage of participation from neighbor- ing municipalities. However since the figures were lower than estimated, council agreed that the townships •wouldnot be ask- ed to make financial contributions to the program. As Clerk Larry Walsh pointed out, "it's like nit picking." Council agreed to approach, the govern. ment for more funding, placing :particular emphasis on the fact that Blyth is the only municipality in the area to offer a summer program for children. Council will also look at raising registra- tion fees in 1986 as another avenin to in- crease funding. In 1985 the registration fee of $5 per child was used for purchasing crafts and supplies for the eight week course. If registration was increased to $10 per child, an additional $575 could be used to offset salaries.
