The recommendation wasone of six op-
tions considered, by the eteranittee.
Mr.: Me91041, admitted that .while the —
recommendations would not satify
everyone, 70 per cent. of the committee
supported them. Trustees, as well as five
members of the community, are on the
c9Irunitteq•
The optioncallsfor setting up 'a late
French Iirimersion program in Goderich,
Exeter, Clintbn and Wingham.
Estimated costs include $12,000 for tex-
tbooks, $4,800 for library material and
$80,000, for two teaching positions. No con-
sideration was given for the amount of pro-
vincial grant available which would offset
these costs.
Mr. *Quail said French Immersion in
Grade 7 and 8 builds on the skills already
being used by Huron County students in
grade 3 to 6 in Core Freneh.
"It build in what the sye„-ein has
already •invested," he said.
The trustee also said that while costs
have been identified; late immersion could
provide access to the French Immersion
concept in the most cost-effective manner.
Another issue considered by the commit-
tee is "universal accessibility" across the
county. Instead of just having a French
Immersion class in Godetich, where the
request for such a project originated,
classes could be in other Huron towns.
Goderich trustee Dorothy Wallace poked

Goderich and suirrounding
communities

We are now into 1985 and want to say "Thank you". It is only

possible for us -to publish one of the best community newspapers in
the area. In 1984 hundreds of advertisers, retailers, classified and
national: advertisers used frequent and consistent space in the
Signal -Star, stimulating'our economy and 'promoting employment.
You, ourreaders responded by buying food, clothing, shoes, TV's,
sound equipment, paint, lumber, microwaves, books, houses,
home furnishings, sports equipment, automobiles, yard goods
the list is endless. We, enter 1.985 with great confidence that this
area will enjoy greater prosperity and we look forward to the role our
newspaper and its advertisers play in the economic 'growth. Once'

,Mrs. Wallace also criticized the report
for making .universal availability a. prime
cOncern. •
"Education across the province is not
equal," she said..
• The trustee Saidthere is - interest for an
early French Immersion program in
Goderich and just because that :Interest
isn't in other towns doesn't mean Goderich
shouldn't have the program.
While Mrs. Wallace did say that French
Immersion.in Grade 7 ancl8 is better than
no French Immersion, she wondered aloud
if students at that age would take Such a
program.
"I wonder IS the committee took into con-
sideration that at that age Students are
subject to peer pressure," she said an-
ticipating_ that "anti -French" sentiment
might lead to low enrolment.
Mr.McQuail said that would put the
debate in the home instead of having the
school board deciding. -
The other options considered by the com-
mittee includ e early French Immersion as
a three-year pilot project with the Huron -
Perth Roman Catholic Separate School
Board, a "Goderich only" Kindergarten
immersion program and a Kindergarten to
Grade 2 program in the county towns.
The school board will debate and decide
the issue on Monday, Feb. 4.
