Many of the children that went to see Santa Claus Saturday
at Santa's Court weren't as, sure of themselves as they
thought they'd be once they actually got to sit on the old
gent's knee. The children were sent to visit Santa at the
Park Theatre after he had made his way around The Square
in the anni,al Santa Claus parade. Most of the youngsters
Smile a while
A local man telephoned a
police station one night and
excitedly reported that the
steering wheel, brake pedal,
accelerator, clutch pedal and
dashboard had been stolen
from his car. The policeman
promised to investigate.
But soon the telephone rang
again. ''Don't bother," said
the man -- this time with a
hic-cup. "1 got into the hack
seat by mistake,"
Upon returning from a trip
to Detroit, a local pian was
being questioned by a
customs official, "Do you,'
asked the officer, "have any
pornographic literature?"
"Pornographic
Literature!" the man burst
out indignantly, "1 don't even
have a pornograph!

Lain, -German may be -eliminate
The Huron County Board of
Education wants to take a
second look at implications
involved in cancelling
language programs in two of
its secondary schools. The
board looked at two
recommendations for can-
cellations at its Monday
meeting, one to eliminate
German "classes at Seaforth
District High School, and one
`to cancel Latin classes in
Central Huron Secondary
School in Clinton.
Goderich trustee Dorothy
Wallace said she felt the
board had to examine the
whole question of education
priorities before making a
"snap decision based on five
minutes discussion". Wallace
added that due to declining
enrolment in secondary
schools the board may be
forced to cut back programs
and cancellation of subject
instruction now may have an
affect on d,ecisions the board
has to make in the future.
Wallace said the matter
should be turned over to the
education committee for
investigation. She said the
committee should look at
similar programs offered in
other county secondary
schools and should consider'
the number of students in-
volved. She added that the
hoard had to consider
students that really want to
learn languages.
"I $m sorry it was left so
late before it was brought to
the board," she said.
The requests were made
with a reminder to the board
that it had to deal with the
matter quickly since school
,calendars and option sheets
for students were in the
process of preparation for
distribution in January of
1978. The sheets are given to
the students for completion to
allow the hoard to determine
the number of students
wanting to enrol in a program
the following year to permit
the board to make staff ad-
justments in the schools.
The German program
offered at Seaforth involves
17 students in two classes.
The language is taught ,to
students in senior grades and
has faced declining
enrolment since 1974-75. Four
years ago 27 students were
taking German. In•1975-76 the
number dropped to 20 and in
1976-77 it remained at 20. This
year the number dropped to
17.
-The Latin program in
Clinton has not faced
declining enrolment but a
request from the head of the
language department at that
school suggested that the
program was not involving a
sufficient number of students,
Marlene Gowanlock, head
of the language department,
said in a letter to G.O.
Phillips, principal of CHSS,
that three teaching periods
are being used for 39 students
taking Latin. She said the
situation did not seem to be a
wise use of teaching poten-
tial.
Gowanlock said many
people consider Latin to be a
valuable discipline because it
provides a basis for proper
use of English vocabulary
and grammar but she added
that a well -organized modern
English program could
achieve the same goal.
In 1974-75 the three senior
grades at CHSS were taught
Latin in two classes involving
29 students. That number
rose to 34 in 1975-76 and one
more class was added, In
1976-77 41 students took].
and this year 39 are study
the subject.
Wallace said she
puzzled that a teacher w
recommend her course
dropped and wondered w
the board would replac
with. She added that w
one considers that school•
other 'areas are introduc
Latin as a means
upgrading English progra
it was a wonder to her ho
teacher could make
statement like that.

Direct Drive or Servo Belt Drive.
Technics gives spectacular
specs for both!
Take a tip from FM radio stations who have been using Technics direct drive
turntables for years. You won't hear any wow or flutter because there are no belts
or idlers to produce variations in speed. Technics are the people who introduced
direct drive systems to the hi-fi market and who keep making direct
drive as outstanding as it is.
Both the SL -20 and SL -23 are the hottest servo belt -drives on the market. Both
use frequency generator servo circuits as
well as highly reliable IC that elec-
tronically locks the motor into the
correct speed The result is inau-
dible rumble ( 65dB) and
inaudible wow and flutter
