Mrs. Miller, who has a social work background, said Big Broth- ers was started in 1929 in the Unit- ed States and its first Canadian chapter began in 1931. Although Big Brothers was formed in Huron County, several years ago, it is just in the past year that it has started to flourish again with committees operating in many county towns. The Wingham committee has gone "full tilt", Mrs. Miller report- ed and currently has three "Lititle Brothers" on a list waiting to be matched with their Big Brothers. These Little Brothers are between the ages of six and 17 and have no male influence k the house. The Big and Little Brothers do individual and group actin�, ret she said, adding that Big, Brothers are asked to spend at least one-hour each week with their Little Broth- ers. Activities can be as varied as going to a Blue jay game to wash- ing the car to taking a walk along the beach. In addition to looking for men who would be interested in becom- ing Big Brothers, Mrs. Miller said businesses could be called upon from time to time for donations. For example, a business might be asked to donate drinks or treats for a Big Brothers activity. The Wingham Legion Branch also has been generous in its dona- tions to the local Big Brothers chap- ter. The Wingham group has a `goat of five Big and Little Brother match- es its first year, but "once word gets out, there will be mom," predicted Mr. Shaw.

The 12 -month school year has long been a vague notion discussed in Ontario education circles, but due to overcrowded schools in metropolitan areas and the need for school boards to get maximum use out of their buildings and resources, this issue now is being examined earnestly For this reason, the HuronCoun- 'bp h, s.4elegated . t i;: t ai committee-ta:inyes rt matter andpuUhaaton sehool year in a Huro +i r"o '1 Graeme Craig, education com- mittee chairman and trustee for Seaforth and McKillop Township, , says his corpmittee will be looking, at the ministry study as early as October, but doesn't see year-round education as a pressing issue here. "It's mere of a concern in • high- growth areas that need maximum use of their buildings, but that impact will affect us eventually," explained Mt. Craig.

The trustee says the committee will be seeing if it agrees with the recommendations in the ministry of education report on, 12 -month school years and the board proba- bly will make its • conclusions known to the° appropriate govern- ment agencies or individuals. a Mr. Craig explained that as early as 1991, there will be pilot projects organizedin metropolitan_ areas to test the full -year schooling .system, based on. both three; and four- r'irtnit'th i , . committee will be looking a"are schools in the Alted States which have switched to'a 12-month'ac t o1 year. . Staffing, enrollment, transporta- tion, curriculuirt and "just• about every education is$u" will be looked at by the ccintmittee and other factors outside schools will have to ,be considered. Extending, the school Year by two •.month§ would have social arid economic impacts. The education committee intends to consult with the public andlook into issues _such as part-time employment, effects on the agricul- ture industry and effects - on tourism. "It's not a rush decision, that's for sure," Mr. Craig concluded. MINISTRY REPORT The Select Committee on Educa- tion was struck in February of 1988 to examine the goals and philoso- phy of education: Its second report, issued at Queen's Park in. June, is the focus of theHCBE's discussion. The select committee heard from various groups with concerns about the semester systein. The commit- tee learned that capital expansion has not kept up to need and an extended school year would allow for better use of school buildings.

The :mater,-wasdiscussed:briefly at last .week's monthly Wingham Business Association me Sandra Jamieson, repo 'for the association's Retail Advertising and Special Events (RASE) Com- mittee, said the cost of advertising for a one-night promotion was a factor in the decision to run the sale over two nights this year.
