Philip Duke of Edinburgh endorsed the consept of making English spelling easier to reed by abolishing silent and deseptiv letters in words. As patron of the Simplified Spelling Society, Prince Philip sent the following message tu their third Inter- national.- Conference on Reading Spelling : To simplify the spelling of English has been the ambi- tion of any number of reformers. A few successes have been achieved, largely in the United States of America, but otherwise little has happened. One very. good reason for this lack of progress is the, not unex- pected, inability of the dif- ferent reformers to agree on a common system. It would be nice to think that the Third International Con- ference will have some achievements to its credit and I wish all the delegates the very best of luck. (signed) Philip Duke of Edinburgh The Ontario Minister of Education does not agree with Prince Philip. She ban- ned a dictionary that has'the short spelling of "THRU". She said tu me that'"T-H-R- U" is "an aberration". Perhaps this minister does not no that unlike Celtic Welsh and Gaelic, English is a composite of mainly Ger- man and French plus a ma- jor shift in vowel pronoun- ciation. At one time, "thru" and "laf" were pronounced with a now unheard "gh" throat sound. Now the "gh" symbol is but an redundant antique vehicle. I urge all peepol, including newspaper editors, tu spel "laf", L -A -F and "thru T - H -R -U so • that a natural Sincerely, N.J.

The Association was given the go-ahead .to pur- chase the play equipment - and absorb all the costs - by the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board at its regular meeting Monday night' in Dublin. The same will be true for the students at St. Mary's School in Goderich as the C.P.T.A. for that school was granted permission to install creative playground equip- ment with all costs to be paid by the association. The Board's property com- itteeordinator and Edof plaRowland;ntand co - maintenance, will decide on the location and. installation specifications for both pro- jects. The students, .at St. Joseph's School at Kingsbridge will have to wait longer before a creative playground facility is com- pleted at their school. This school was designated a. community school under the ministry of education a few years ago and now the com- munity association at the school wishes to install. the. quipment which is estimated to cost $8,257 of which they have already raised $6,193.26. To receive a community centres grant which will. cover 25 per cent of the cost ''of the project the School Board has been asked 'to enter into an agreement and 'lease with the municipality 'of the Township of Ashfield so that the municipality can then make application for it.
