This is one proposal, presented by A.W. Hagar and C.H. Rushton, of the Conestoga College of Applied Arts and Technology. We commenced out invest- igation by seeking to identify the characteristics of the Base and observed that it possesses facilities which would make it a well-appointed village or small community. There are single and multiple family dwellings; single person accom- odation; recreational facilities- playgrounds, curlingrink, hock- ey arena, sports fieds, gym- nasium and swimming pool; cultural and religious facilities - theatre, library, meeting areas, churches; and overall a variety of facilities suitable for education. The Base has facilities which would be ideal for a living and learning experience. The fac- ilities for learning are sufficient to permit a full programme for all persons who could be accom- modated. Experience gained in the Ontario Manpower Retraining Programme indicates that up- grading of the wage earner of a family is often less successful because the spouse and children are not upgraded as well. There are strong indications of a need among the disadvantaged to seek to help the complete family as opposed to selected members of the family. The Base has all of the facilities needed for a complete family training pro- gramme. Furthermore, the programme would be a source of information to assist persons engaged in educational, welfare and other social plans. We can identify some broad classifications of need such as families consistently on welfare, families without regular wage income who may be dislocated by housing renewel projects and the person on parole who needs assistance to adjust to his family and to find a new way. The education of children of the families could be provided in the elementary school on the Base and in the secondary school in Clinton. The educational programme which we see is one of perhaps one to two years duration for each family. The daily pro- gramme must be full. Trad- itional educational approaches will not achieve results but there is now a wealth of ex- perience among persons working in the education of adults. There is plenty of evidence of the success of innovative educa- tion in the training centres in this Province. The Base provides accommo- dation for single persons and it may be possible to utilize this bi': the major emphasis should be on families. Training programmes financed under the Federal Adult Occup- ation Training Act and provided by the Ontario Manpower Re- training Programme have placed emphasis on the need to help the total person. Provision is made for the physical, mental, learn- ing and social health of each person. The concept of seeking to provide for not only the complete family but also the complete needs of the family should be paramount. This means the involvement of several departments of the Provincial Government, muni- cipal governments and agencies. The main thrust will be in the learning process but success cannot be achieved without involvement of many other resources. Public and private funds are now being expended to support disadvantaged families. The question is not whether these will be continued but how they will be applied. For example, it should be to the advantage of a municipality to expand welfare funds to support a family in Clinton as opposed to keeping the family in the municipality and perpetuating the welfare payments without hope of change year after year. This proposal is in the concept phase. We believe that is has possibilities and merits further study and action.

The Pee Wees had two ties and one win to give them the nec- cessary four points. Peter McDonald of Ripley scored the only goal of the first period. In the second period neither team was able to come up with a scoring play. At the 2:00 minute mark of the last stanza Greg Love scored on an unassisted play to tie things up at 1-1. Midway through the period Derek O'Brien shot Zurich into a 2-1 lead. With less than a minute to play John Elliott scored for Ripley, which forced a scoreless over- time period. The Zurich team now enter the W. 0.A. A. final championship against Paisly. SECOND GAME On Tuesday night the Pee Wees won the second game of the series as they edged Ripley 4-2.

Before the period ended Greg Love scored to Zurich Midgets Lose to Ripley (by Doug Turkheim) Last Tuesday night the Zurich Midgets witnessed the poorest pair of refrees that any Zurich team has seen this year as they were downed 7-1 by Ripley. Bill Kerkpatrick led the Ripley attack as he scored four goals. Jim Farrel added two and Elliot Courntey scored once. Zurich's lone goal was scored by Larry Hess from a shot at centre ice, which beat the' goalie completely. Ripley outscored Zurich 3-1 in the first period and 4-0 in the second period. Although Zurich did lose, goalie, Doug Parker, played a very good game kicking out away over 50 shots. In the poorly refereed game there was a total of 37 penalties called which included 10 major penalties, two oris -conducts, and one guile misconduct. 0 Zurich Mites Dump Adastral Park, 7-0 (by DougTurkheim) On Saturday morning the Zurich Mited travelled to Adastral Park and came home with a 7-0 shut -out.
