The problems of Bill 82, the
new Ontario law on special
education, dominated
discussion at the annual.

Women Teachers'

heard Dr. Madeline Hardy,
Director of Education for the
Expansion.
MITCHELL - Plans have
been announced for a major
expansion to the Mitchell
Medical Centre.
Ted Loughrey,centre
centre
administrator and chairman
of the centre's board of
directors said that a 2,400
square -foot addition will be
added with construction
hopefully to begin in Sep-
tember.
The addition will affect the
doubling of examination
rooms from five to 10 for the
four doctors presently
working out of the centre.
There will also be an
emergency room.
Mr. Loughrey said the
board has a rough idea of
how much the addition will
cost, but they will not know
for certain until tenders have
been opened.
The addition will be
financed entirely by funds
which the centre has on hand
or will obtain. There will be
no funds from the provincial
government for the project.

and About
So, this is the week of ex-
citement.
The kids are excited, they
have SO many things they
didn't get a chance to see or
do and now they have to go
back to school - yuc-c-k!
The ball teams are going
great guns and the bowling
teams are registering for
another big season.
I don't know about curling
- I hay.e sort of lost track of
that great game. I certainly
enjoyed it when I chose to
curl rather then alley bowl.
Both eames are great but
can't be compared as they
are so different.
Lawn bowling and curling,
I found were similar , and
both very exciting, but to
alley bowl - you make what
you are good enough to make
- if you have an off night - too
bad.
Luckily, there are any
number of things you can do
for winter recreation -no
need to sit and get fat and
unhappy - get out and keep
fit – you will never be sorry.
Also this is a great time to
Voices needea

educational results.
In other business, ' the ,
delegates approved a
statement of priorities which
included concern about the
growth of private schools,
and the increasing con-. -
servat ism • and elitism of

confirmed their com-
mitment to equal op-
portunity and to the

You do need help where
smoking, drinking and drugs
are concerned. Be smart
enough to get it.
The organizations are all
ready to start their fall and
winter meetings and they
are usually happy ones.
If you can't enjoy working
together to help others not as
fortunate as yourself - then
you should hibernate.
Together you can do great
things, GOOD things, and
THAT - I promise - will bring
you happiness. Some people
get in trouble - others get in-
volved! Great advice - get in-
volved. Just remember it is
later than you think! Don't
put off things you know you
should do especially when
they are concerned with
your health and state of
mind. Change of weather -
change of pace, activity -
EVERYTHING. I hope you
will tell me you have made
that change of pace. Stay
young and happy! !
You think you aren't that
enthusiastic? Well, "en-
thusiasm" - it comes from
the Greek word meaning to
be inspired or possessed by
the Gods. The dictionary has
GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2,1881—PAGE 11A
artha Rathborn
other words including -
divine inspiration, fervor,
ardent zeal or interest.
If we don't have a purpose
in living, we should find one.
Enthusiasm gives us the
fire, the self-starter to get on
with an idea to see things
clearly, to see and overcome
problems.
We need FAITH in
ourselves, iii our future and
everything around us, We
must believe we can ac-
complish the things we set
out to do - keep enthusiasm,
it is the fire we need to get
started
So, there now, does that
fire you up to thinking about
all the things you want to do
this fall - to get started on
yourproject carrying it past
all irritations, frustrations
and disappointments?
Soon you will be running
on your own power and your
enthusiasm motor running
and you are on your way.
Good luck! Keep it working. '
Love,
Martha
