Keller) Although the press represent- ative for the Huron County News paper Association asked the Huron County Board of Educat- ion members Monday evening for a breakdown of the 1970 budget, an outline of expenses according to categories will not be forthcoming until the end of June, "I say the end of June, "said board vice-chairman Bob Elliott, Goderich Township to the coun- ty reporter Mrs. Keller, "so you won't think I'm hedging." It was Elliott who introduced an amendment to a motion to release a breakdown of the bud- get spending to the press. The amendment which ultimately gained favor with the board stip- ulated that the breakdown be Frank Herbert, the host of CBL -radio's "Safety Clinic", just happened to he looking out the window one day when he saw a fellow CBC staffer struck down by a car in the middle of Jarvis Street. Three months later, the con- valescent was occupying the Safety Clinic hot -seat and trying to explain to a radio audience of some 23,000 exactly how he had managed to get into the path of an oncoming automobile. "Anything that nails safety to the mast is our meat." Frank Herbert explains this episode from his ten-year career as a moderator of Safety Clinic. This made available at the end of June. Board policy on the disposal of surplus equipment was dis- cussed. At the present time the Board's policy requires that all surplus equipment be sold by public auction. Since there is at the present time a number of student desks and several teachers' desks in the county, none of which "would warrant hiring an auct- ioneer" according to Director of Education John Cochrane, the policy will be amended ro read "for sale by public auction or advertisement in the local news- paper of the community where such equipment is located." The board also learned of the following resignations: Mrs. Mary Robinson, Colborne Cent- ral; Mrs. Grace Jutzi, East Waw- anosh P. S . ; Edwin Anderson and Miss S. Huston, F.E. Madill S.S, Mrs. P. Bechard, Grey Central; Mrs. Debra Newby, Huron Cent- ennial P.S. ; Gerald Martinson, South Huron District High School; Mrs. Shirleyousseau, Stephen Central and Mrs. Marion Issac, Usborne Central. Mr. Cochrane reported that the question of corporal punish- ment raised at the last regular board meeting has been referred to the Principals' Association for study, but that results are not yet all into the Board of Educ- ation office. A full report is expected in the future. Teachers in the county who Hearing Problem? Do you have, or supect a hearing problem?

Address Phone 0 Y 1 in June are working with the superintend- ents of education to write courses of study for English, History, Geography, mathematics and science in Grades 6, 7, S and 9 will be released from their teaching duties for up to two school days this year and if extra time is required to com- plete the work, it will be done Saturdays and teachers will be paid $30 per day, the supply teacher rate. As well, supply teachers will be hired to fill in during the times that the teachers on these study committees are away from their classes. Mr. Cochrane explained that since the department of educ- ation is issuing only broaduide lines for the teachers to follow, it is deemed important for a course of study in the basic subjects to be set up in the county system to ensure unif- ormity here. In other business, John Levis was named to sit on the Huron Presbytery of the United Church of Canada committee to study religious education in the schools. Howick Central School staff was increased by a half teacher to complete the French program initiated by the prev- ious board; and board members learned they were invited to sit in on a meeting to discuss the possible of establishment of a Mental Health Association for Huron County. Prepare Garden Now For Annuals Now is the time to prepare the soil in which annuals are to be planted. The soil, once dug, should have organic matter add- ed in the form of barnyard man- ure or compost at the rate of 50 to 75 pounds per 100 square feet. Dr. P.M. Harney, Depart- ment of Horticultural Science, University of Guelph, says that • peat moss is easy to obtain and may often be used instead of manure or compost. Peat should be spread in a layer 1 to 2 inches thick, and worked into the soil. On fine -textured clay soils a 50- 20-10 analysis fertilizer may be applied at the rate of 2.1' pounds per 100 square feet. For coarse- textured sandy soils, a 50-20-20 analysis fertilizer applied at the sante rate is recommended. Although some enthusiasts grow their own annuals from seeds, says Dr. llarney, many people buy them as seedlings from'the local florist or nursery- man. These seedlings will be a couple of months old with well-' developed root systems and will often be in bloom or almost ready to bloom. Annuals are very often used as fillers in a flower garden because they bloom in midsummer when the perennials are not flowering. Once bought, the seedlings should be planted immediately or watered and stored in a cool shady place until planted. Plant carefully, says Dr. II arney, keeping the ball of earth around the roots intact if possible. Water after planting, and shade if the plants show signs of wilt- ing. If the flowers are picked and the plants are not allowed to go to seed they will continue flowering until frost. To maintain the annual gard- en in a vigorous condition, apply a 5-10-15 fertilizer at the rate of 21 pounds per 100 square feet during the latter part of July. 0 Renew Your Subscription Now WHITE BEAN !
