Wingham Advance-Times, 1977-07-06, Page 100 The Wlitgb. p Advance -Times, July 6, 1977 Howick Grapevine l>IOWICK CENTRAL'S IST ASSEMBLY • The last, bus pulled up around the turnaround on June 23, 1977. Only one more day after today and school would be dismissed for the summer. Excited chatter, last minute hustle and bustle, final instructions from the teacher, and classes filed into the hall, down to the gym for the aca- demic assembly — Howick's last for the 1976-77 term. Excited whispers gave way to cheerful conversation as the lines filed past the stage into the decorated gym. On the stage could be seen trophies, plaques, arra bars, school letters and badges — the coveted awards eagerly sought after by those who worked hard all year. Who would get the big troplhy at the centre of the stage? Who would claim the badges and arm bars? How many grade seven students would get a school letter? Suddenly a respectful hush fell upon the audience as Dale Hunt, a grade seven student from room 16, approached the micro- phone. ; After leading the assembly in opening exercises, Dale called upon Mr. Robertson for the presentation of awards. Arm bars were presented for perfect attendance, public speak- ing, library assistants, bus patrols, student council rep- resentatives and projector operators as well as to the top students in each room in mathe- matics, French and English. The students who topped each class received academic bars while the most improved students received achievement bars. The climax of the assembly was reachedwhen. three grade seven students, Troy Pocaluyko, Brenda Mann and Leisa Garniss received a school Letter. The last assembly was dis- missed just in time for morning recess. ARDA extended for two more years TORONTO — The Rural De- velopment Program under the Agricultural and Rural Develop- ment Act (ARDA) will be con- tinued in Ontario for two more years, to March 31, 1979. The announcement was made re- cently by the Honourable Marcel Lessard federal Minister of Re- gional Economic Expansion (DREE), and by the Honourable William G. Newman, Ontario's Minister of Agriculture and Food (OMAF). ' The original. ARDA agreement between Canada and Ontario was signed in 1962 and was followed by a five-year agreement which ran to. March 1970. DREE was created in 1969 and assurhed re- sponsibility for the ARDA pro- gram. In 1970, a further five-year agreement was signed which ran to March, 1975. That year a two- year„ agreement was made, followed by the amendment just announced, which will extend ARDA to March 1979. A wide range of rural develop- ment projects has been under- taken by ARDA in its 15 -year his- tory; farm enlargement and con- solidation, agricultural outlet drainage, rural water supply, grants for farm development, employment programs for rural people on crown land forests, re- forestation of non-agricultural lands, community pastures, establishment and expansion of publicly -owned tourist industry facilities, and incentives for rural resource-based industries to modernize or expand and thereby r create employment opportunities for rural people and to improve their marketing facilities. The variety of programs re- flects the response and need of rural people across the province for measures to improve the economic conditions of their communities. ARDA agreements have varied slightly, to reflect changing rural development needs in the pro- vince. While the rural develop- ment agreement has !leen a use- ful means for strengthening the rural economy, particularly in slow -growth rural areas, an in- depth review is required to en- sure that a federal -provincial rural program will continue to fulfil its objectives of strengthen- ing the rural economy in a manner closely integrated with other provincial and federal economic development pro- grams. The two governments have agreed to carry out such a review beginning immediately. The re- view e-view will be a joint effort by Ben- i ata" fro DREE and OMAF. e fede a Minister of Agricul- ture, the ourable Eugene Whelan, has m e available the services of one f his senior offi- cials to assist in the review, and the Treasurer of Ontario, the Honourable Darcy Mclleough, has named the representative of his ministry on the ARDA Directorate of Ontario to partici- pate. \, The cost of the ARDA program is shared equally by the two governments. The province is re- sponsible for administering the program in rural Ontario through the Rural Development Branch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food.,, During the period 1975-77,a total of $30 million was spent on rural development programs in Ontario. Up to $40 million will be available during the extension. Wingham has sister city Anyone planning a trip to Michigan should make a point of visiting Wingham's new sister city there.
