This instruction could be part of the physical education program. During the fall term several elementary school classes took part in outdoor lessons along streams, in woods and in open fields and it was felt that much could be learned by the child- ren returning to these areas to discover the changes which have occurred in the plants and anim- als. The snowshoes are needed to reach these snowbound areas. Previously the students had been using the 40 pairs bought by the Outers Club at the High School in Exeter and it was not felt to be fair to continue borrowing this equipment. A World Religions course to be offered in 1974-75 at Central Huron Secondary School, Clin- ton, was given approval in principle by the Board. subject The Clinton Winter Carnival Feb 1 — 10 P -- Ten days of fun. Snow queen, parade, pan- cake breakfast, dan- ces, snowmobile races and much more.

Keith Allen, a member of the history department would be the teacher involved. Mr. Allen assisted in the preparation of the course outlin which is being used at South Huron Sec- ondary School this year. Five religions are studied --Christian- ity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism. J.L. Wooden, principal of the Exeter school, one of three principals sitting in on the board meeting, said he thought the course a good one which broad- ens the student's level. He said 50 to 60 enrolled in the course at Exeter but there were some dropouts when they found the course took up too much study.

When crossing them, first slow down, then steer across them as squarely as possible. If caught in tracks or ruts, decrease speed before turning out of them.
