Let Us Help You PUT SOME COLOR IN YOUR LIFE 1 READMAN CLEANERS AND MEN'S WEAR WINGHAM Po r' chers from Oxford, Windsor, Huron, Perth and all points in between were told the effects of the implemen- tation of Bill 82. Mary Howarth, executive assistant for the Federation of Women Teachers, from Toronto, said in her opinion, Bill 82 is, in a way, a trans- fer of power". She said she assumed it was perceived that schools had too much power regard- ing the placing of excep. tional children. "Now greater poser has been accorded to the parent and child," said Mrs. Howarth. She noted that per- sons 18 years of age and over can make a decision on their placement. She told teachers they will. still recommend to princi- pals a child who may need to be identified as an excep- tional student. Parents are also able to do this. From there, the case goes to the Identification, Place- ment and Review Commit- tee, ( IPRC) which does as its name suggests. It identifies any exceptionalities, places the student and reviews annually the prescribed placement, if any. Mrs. Howarth explained there are routes parents may take if they wish to appeal any decision made by the IPRC, and the school board may also make an appeal, but at no time may the tea- cher make an appeal. "To me it's an im- balance," said Mrs. Howarth. She explained if a teacher did not agree with the place- ment of a student, there is nothing the teacher could do. Slle said .teachers • would assist in the beginning as the child's exceptionalities were being identified by doing assessments on the child. She' told. teachers the appeal. route involves tri- bunals at several levels, with the ;minister of education having the last word. ' During the conference,,the teachers attended numerous workshops held at the Exeter Public , School, with Mrs. Howarth's presentation con- cluding the conference.

Mabel Jacklin, a WI member, was seated in the background. The sale was held in the courtroom at the town hall. Huron -Perth Presbytery challenged to take action against Iotteiy increases Rev, James Vanslyke challenged the members of Huron -Perth Presbytery of the United Church to take action against the increase in lotteries "They're getting out of hand," stated the Seaforth United Church clergyman, speaking at the presbytery meeting held at Grace United Church, Tavistock, Sept. 22, His reaction stemmed from the recent an- nouncement by the federal government to introduce a sports lottery. He noted that a number of organizations had spoken out against the new lottery, but that none of the presbytery committeets had shown concern. Maureen Mayne, minister for mission for London Conference suggested that while we Criticize lotteries, we fail to support our con- victions by refraining from purchasing tickets. In his report on steward- ship, Rev. Roy Babstock, Parkview United, Stratford, noted that during the mail strike there had been a loss of one and a half million dollars.' in the United Church's mission and ser- vice fund. While the funds are slowly catching up, he stated that the M and S projects' were being cur-. tailed as, well because in- creases in the fund were not keeping pace with inflation: Huron -Perth's M and S givings to the end of. August amounted to $207,858, ap- proximately 48 per cent of its goal. Rev. Ross Cumming, chairman of archives, requested 'local congrega- tions to send in biographies By Rita Rice Don't forget the Christmas craft and bake sale to be held at the Armouries Dec. 3. Anyone in the community wishing to support the centre is invited to contribute bak- ing for the sale. During the past week we have received plant cuttings for our mobile greenhouse, which we have ' started up again for the fall and winter. If anyone has plants they wish to get rid of, they may call the day centre and we will pick them up, or they can bring them to the Ar- mouries any time. The newest addition to the day centre is an exercise bike on loan from Mrs. Harley Crawford until Easter. Mrs. Crawford . is going south for the winter and will not need it. During our exercise program, it is difficult to do leg exercises as the exercises are done from a chair, so the bike will be an excellent addition to the program. Walking is difficult for many seniors in the winter due to icy sidewalks and as a result many don't get proper exercise in the winter. If the exercise bike proves popular, the day centre Will consider purchasing one. Next Thursday, Oct. 15, the regular program will be cancelled to allow the hospital auxiliary to prepare for its semi-annual rum- mage sale the following day. This week, Oct. 6-8, we will be having our Thanksgiving meal. We are looking for a small cupbozd to hold plant trays, soil, etc'.'; a bedroom dresser would do.

Many times recreation, socializing and activity can nourish. their bodies far better than a drugstore prescription: The centre has programs operating three days a week for those who want to get out and meet new people and participate in activities geared to their interest. While browsing through a book last week I ran across this thought which I think is worth sharing: "If we balance work with leisure activities, interest, and hobbies throughout life, we are on a feasible path to productive, happy senior years." Rehab Unit and pictures of people whose service td the church should be recognized. "It is obvious that we are interested in church books and records but we have neglected people records," stated Stratford's Centennial United minister. During a period when lay representatives expressed concerns, Norman Alexander voiced his anxiety over the eroding of Sunday observance. The Londesboro delegate later - was recognized by Rev. Bert Daynard, Staffa, for his prestigious award frotn the Soil Conservation Society. of America. MARRIAGES STIR DEBATE The validity of retired ministers conducting mar- riages stirred. a lengthy debate. Tightening of licensing by the provincial government has led to a review of the regulations. ordt.was argued that once ained, a minister held the right to conduct marriages. It was pointed out, however, that licensing is granted by the government. Rev. Burton Crowe, Centralia, said he felt that active or retired ministers who serve a congregation may conduct a marriage. A motion of presbytery in April to deny right to all lay and student supply ministers to administer the sacraments of the -Lord's Supper and baptism was successfully appealed to conference. The appeal body indicated that the' presbytery does not have the right to make such a blanket motion. Each case must be consider- ed on its own merits. A new committee struc- ture for Camp Bimini and Camp Menesetung Was in- troduced by Rev. Bob Mc- Mullen, Brucefield.

Bert Daynard warned congregations planning propertyim- provements to ensure that such are in agreement with the proper codes. Churches are now being included in an increasing number of regulations he indicated. EVALUATE GIVINGS "Is it 'possible . to dump your money down the drain?" was a question posed in a guideline for giving presented by Rev. Vanslyke in a report by the finance committee. "We have a lot of work to do to try and interpret what appeal organizations are doing,", he stated. It was suggested that .we evaluate our givings and that our compassions and con- cerns $be, expressed in a meaningful way. The gui- deline outlined a number' of questions in regardto requests, . needs and response. Rev. Barry Passmore, who has left Wingham for Owen Sound, was recognized for his years of service to Huron -Perth, while Rev. Maurice Francis, Fullerton, was welcomed back from his exchange to Australia.
