And in recognition of the volunteer and to amplify the need for more volunteers, the recreation department will sponsor a three-part series for volunteers involved in community non-profit organizations. The first part is Volunteer Day and it happens in the arena lobby this Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. Twenty volunteer groups and organizations working with children have been invited to set up a display in the arena lobby to provide information about their group to parents and interested citizens. Many groups working with children have a demonstrated need for more volunteers and an invitation is extended to everyone to attend. While Volunteer Day was organized to bring to light the need for more help, it will also act as a usefull infor- mation exchange between groups and parents. The second part of the series will feature a workshop on volunteers by Karen Ross of the Central Volunteer Bureau of London. The seminar will be held in the grandstand meeting room Saturday, November 3 at 9 a.m. Teachers will have to be classified L CAL NEWS' The Huron County Board of Education has to find a slot to place teachers of developmentally handicapped students. Paul Carroll, superintendent of special education, told the Oct. 1 meeting of the trustees that this type of teacher is new for the board. Currently, the teachers of developmen- tally handicapped students are recognized as teachers by the provincial ministry of community and social services. These teachers are graduates of a community college, said Mr. Carroll and are classified as non -certified. As part of its special education package, the Huron board will be hiring three of these teachers for September 1985, one. each for Huron Hope in Huron Park, Queen Elizabeth in Goderich and Golden Circle in Wingham. The board's personnel committee has to decide whether to put these non -certified teachers as union or non-union personnel. This step takes the board closer to fuller implementation of special education. The ministry of education has set September 1985 as the target date for full implementation of what started out as Bill 82.

Only Exeter Peeve Bill Mickle and Depu- ty Reeve Lossy Fuller were opposed to mak- ing the purchase which was approved at the October session. Osama Sherif of London, an engineer from Woods, Gordon, the consulting firm which recommends buying the computer system from MAI Canada Limited was on hand to answer council's questions. And there were many. Deputy Reeve Fuller said she had contac- taed a local computer salesperson and they had never heard of MAI. Both Mr. Sherif and clerk -treasurer -administrator Bill Han- ly said the firm has been in business for many years. MAI has put similar systems in other municipalities in Ontario and is cur- rently installing such a computer system for Lambton County. Mra Sherif said there were two computer vendors - MAI and Molnar Systems Group that had their proposals compared. Initially six firms were approached, including IBM, but only the two systems mentioned plus R.J. Thompson Data Systems responded. MAI is the selected system for several reasons, said Mr. Sherif. The reasons in- clude the fact that MAI can be expanded, the work of adapting the software to fit the county is included in the cost of the system, there is a shorter installation time - 11 mon- ths and an overall lower price by about $15,000. There was disappointment from county councillors when Mr. Hanly said there were no funds left in a provincial grant program for computers. "Funds under this project are dried up. Maybe we can hope for an election to bring on more funds," said Mr. Hanly. Huron County will end up with a computer in both Goderich and Clinton. The one in Goderich will service both the finance - administration and highways departments and the one in Clinton will be at Huronview for that institution. The system also includes seven video display terminals and four printers. The overall cost includes obtaining a soft- ware license at $44,000. Other costs for such things as computer room renovation and air conditioning are also included. Over and above the $137,000 figure there will be an annual maintenance and com- munication line fee of approximately $9,000. The county budgeted for $150,000 for the computer system. Activity is key word for teachers Bring your running shoes to the Oct. 26 professional activity day for the Huron - Perth Separate School teachers. For on that day, physical education and mathematics will top the presentations. The separate school's professional activity committee have gathered professionals in the two subjects to make presentations. 3 Auke Van Hoist of the Faculty of Education at the University of Western Ontario, well-known for his physical education theories will be on hand for the day. Also from UWO is Norm West. Folk dancing will be presented by Stu McLean of the Elgin Board of Education. Mathematics, enrichment and seven practical skills with the pumpkin, will be discussed by math consultants. One is Wally Webster of the Huron Board of Education and the other is Linden Gray of the Addison Wesley Co. Parents are welcome to the 9 a.m. to 3:45 P.A. day which will be held at St. Michael's Separate School in Stratford. • FALL CLOSING SALE OUR FALL NURSERY STOCK IS HERE!
