This shows Mrs. Martin which students need some extra math help. Along with the math help are two parent helpers and two Grade 7 students who come into the classroom to give extra help for reading and other sub- jects. Also two Grade 11 students from the high school come for one hour twice a week to help with them- family studies. Conferences will be held between the teacher and the student about their strong and weak points. Creative writing really has improved. -Amy Bateman Mr. Martin's class has received a new name. They now are- called a "self- contained classroom". They are quite excited because they are writing letters of introduction to a class at Queen Elizabeth Public School in Kitchener. They plan to visit each other and enjoy a trip to the circus together. • -Peter Poulin County will look for library board members Huron County will be advertising fori candidates to sit ori its library board and will also take a second Jodk at who makes upt the county museum committee, follow- ing liseussions at. the Nov- ember session of county counei1. A recommendation . from the executive committee suggested the library board should remain as it is. The board is currently made up of three members from county council and three appointed by council from the general public. Bayfield Reeve Dave Johnston questioned the fair- ness of not going to the public after the committee had recommended leaving the library.board ''as it is. The normal practice has been to advertise in all county news- papers, inviting the public to submit names for appoint- ment, he noted. "We'd be closing the door to openness." However County Adminis- trator Bill Hanly said that by defeating the motion council would revert automatically to its past practice off adver- tising for applicants. applicants. Chief Librarian Bill Partridge noted the recom- mendation did not come from the library board. County council is represented on the board by Reeves Grant Stirling of Goderich Township, Joe Kerr of Wingham and Harry Klungel of Hensall. Appoint- ed representatives are Janis Bisback of Hensall, R. P. Ritter of Wingham and Martina Schneiker of Goderich. As for the museum committee, county council decided to send the matter back to the executive committee. The recom- mendation would have left the committee structure Blyth Singers to present annual Christmas concert For many people in this area, attending the traditional concert of the Blyth Festival Singers marks the first event in the celebration of the Christinas season.

Warden Paul Steckle said there was some concern about - separating the chairmanship of the two committees because it would swell the executive com- mittee, which is made up of all committee chairmen. Hulled Reeve Tom Cun- ningham said if the museum committee is going to be one of the 'most active over the next three years it should be a committee unto itself. Claus Breede, director of the museum project, said he also would want the commit- tee to stand alone and not be part of another committee. "The museum is pro- perty;," commented Mr. Stirling, explaining why the two committees have had' the same chairman. The 'executive committee was asked to take another look at the matter.

It has become part of several databases including one made available by TVOntario. The museum has also produced a videotex in- formation package, Cele- brating Our Heritage, which describes its collections and its programs.
