In it was reported the Board had embarked on a pro- gram of "equalizing" education opportunity within its two count) jurisdiction. This was in keep- ing with the Minister of Educ- ation's desire that equal opport- unity for all pp>i flls was to result from the estab ishment of larger county units oFeducation. On facilities the report indic- ated the board had no one or two room schools upon its formation on January 1, 1960. Accomo- dation, generally was provided up-to-date schools and one pri- ority was the repair and redecor- ation of those schools which needed attention. A second priority was the es- tablishment of library resource centres where space permitted. Sacred Heart School of Wingham, St. Boniface School at Zurich and Immaculate Conception School, Stratford, have had these centres established. An"open-area" addition has been completed at St. Mary's School in Goderich. It contains carpetted pods, a resource centre general purpose room, modern kindergarten, health room and staff room. The official opening of this "open -area" addition is slated for February 2, 19'70, when it is anticipated that I -ion. Wil- liam Davis, Minister of Educat- ion will be present. On equipment the report in- dicated a priority was establish- ed whereby all schools were to have a minimum quantity of "hardware." As a result, each school has an established quota of equipment, depending on enrolment and program. Items such as overhead projectors, TV sets, and tape recorders are in- cluded, thus each school will be able to carry on with the most up- to -date equipment. On program it was indicated the consultants in Religious Education, Primary Education, Special Education and Physical Education have been active in the development of programs Huron Federation Names New President Adopt Resolution on Farm Insurance John Stafford, R, R,1, Wrox- eter, was named the president of Huron County Federation of Agriculture last Thursday, to replace Bob Henry, R.

The recommendation that the first person named on the com- mittee to be chairman of that committee was carried. The following resolution was adopted at the meeting; "Where- as, the movement of imple- ments of husbandry on the high- ways are becoming increasingly more hazardous because of more and faster travelling vehicles, and Whereas the involvment of • a farmer with his uninsured im- plements of husbandry in an accident could cost him his life savings. Therefore be it resolved that all implements of husbandry that travel along the highways of Ontario be required to have public liability and property damage insurance coverage. 0 Farm Equipment Show in Toronto Toronto need have no fear of increased air pollution but certainly its accommodation facilities will be taxed as the 24th Annual Canada Farm and Industrial Equipment Show opens at Exhibition Park, January 28th to 31. Air freight from Den - hark, Holland, West Germany and, in fact, most countries where agricultural machines are made, has for weeks now been booking shipments all destined for Toronto. Warehouses and storage is already filled to capacity with odd-looking machines of varied shapes and many colours. Straw- berry pickers to tomato squeezers land rollers and ten -bottom re- versible plows all adding to tons ipon tons of mysterious unexpect- ed devices, aids to agriculture never before dreamed of. By land and sea from far away and close by will come ingen- ious, resourceful, unexpected items never before displayed. A cavalcade of transports bearing the wares of over twenty man- ufacturers whose plants are located in Manitoba will travel East in honour of Manitoba's Centennial Celebrations. By comparison, every familiar name known to both young and old will show its most recent in- novation, more power, more strength, more versatility to increase production with less effort. This is the World's largest assembly of agricultural and light industrial equipment ever displayed and it is in Canada. Over 140, 000 interested people viewed the offerings in 1969, throughout the schools in both counties. The Board established a policy of extending kindergarten. All Roman Catholic children of school age in the two counties will have the opportunity of attending kindergarten in Sept- ember, 1970. For 1970 it is expected that bus transportation will receive much attention. Attempts must be made to ensure maximum service at minimum cost to the ratepayers. It is hoped that close liaison and co-operation between the Separate School Board and both the Huron and Perth Boards of Education can be maintained and extended, thereby eliminating unnecessary duplication of transportation services. The extension of further pro- grams, the report stated, will depend on the availability of funds. If the Department of Education does not continue a subsidy grant, programs may be affected drastically.
