A community's thanks
This Saturday afternoon, Wingham will dedicate its first
freestanding library in a civic ceremony andopen house
at The Library.
The many whose determination and strong civic spirit
contributed to the successful realization ofthis
achievement are deserving of the thanks of the entire
community which will be served by the attractive and
efficient building.
To the ad hoc committee, Wingham Town Council and
the many volunteers and donors who gave until the fund-
raising committee's $50,000 objective was surpassed, we
add our congratulations and our thanks.
A strong sense -Of civic responsibility is evident in a com-
munity when even those who oppose a project at the outset,
rally behind it once the majority has decided in its Boor.
We know that to have been the case with The Library.
Once again, well done!
A lackof education
A little more homework is needed by Education Minister
Chris Ward if he is to regain the respect of teachers in
Ontario.
In what has to be the most glaring example of a lack of
essential knowledge, Mr. Ward said he was not familiar
with a document about which he was asked when he ap-
peared at a recent meeting sponsored jointly by four
teachers' federations in Waterloo Region. He was asked if
the education ministry plans to revise the document
Education in the Primary and Junior Divisions ® the
philosophical framework on which education in Ontario is
based.
We can understand the reaction of Mr. Ward's audience
when he admitted unfamilarity with the subject. in ad-
dition to the groans of incredulity, a few people even got up
and left the auditorium.
Any excuse he could offer for this lack of familiai4ty with
such a vital education document is certainly unacceptable.
He has been minister since last fall and has surely had
enough time by now to become informed on documents of
this magnitude.
A portfolio as important as education demands a well
informed minister. Mr. Ward will do well to brush upon his
ministry's basic philosophies in order to avoid such em-
barrassments in the future.
A tired gunfighter
John Turner must feel a bit like anaging western gun-
fighter who has begun to grow tired of the constant chal-
lenges thrown his way by those wishing to become the
latest top gun.
Michel Robert is the latest to be forced.•to resign his
position as the federal Liberal leader tries desperately to
shore up his flagging command of the federal caucus and
