News of
Huron Hope
(by Mrs. Eleanor Scott, Prin-
cipal)
Even though some snow -banks
outside the school are over ten
feet high, spring mustbe here
as the crocuses outside Mrs.
MacGregor's room are blooming.
I hope no one was unduly
inconvenieced by the recent
storm. I was able to contact
Open Line on C.F.P.L. both
mornings to announce the
school clsoing. However,
they are receiving calls from
several counties and the ann-
ouncement is not always repeat-
ed. In any case the severity
of the storm would have left no
doubt in your minds about the
decision.
We welcomed a new pupil
to school this month. Jimmy
Bowker, age seven, was trans-
ferred to Huron Hope from Ham-
ilton.
Our skating program concluded
just prior to the Winter Break.
We expect to continue bowling
until the end of April.
Brian has his sixteenth birthday
this month. Mrs. MacGregor's
class baked a banana cake and
we all helped him celebrate.
The three schools for the
retarded in Huron County have
been asked to provide a display
of art and crafts in the Confer-
ence Room of the Administrat-
ion Centre of the Board Offices
for the month of May. The
schools in the county exhibit
work there on a rotating basis.
We will try to have an article
on display from each pupil.
A Bowling Tournament is •to
be held in Goderich, May 9.
We are asked to send a team of
five pupils. Therefore, not
everyone who has been bowling
all season will be able to part-
icipate. Teams from a number
of schools from within the
county will be joining with us.
There are tentative plans for
taking some senior pupils to a
sugar bush next week. It will
depend on our very unpredict-
able weather.
Plans are also underway to
use the services of Mr. Vince
Elliott, Outdoor Education
consultant for Huron County,
a hike along the lake or
through the Pinery is anticipat-
ed for thos who are able to
participate.
There will be no school on
the following dates: Friday,
April 25, - the staff will be
attending a conference in
Toronto; Wednesday, April 30,
- This is a county -wide Prof-
essional Activity Day in Hurun
County. Workshops have been
arranged throughout the area.

GROUND
GROUND BEEF
If you have purchased ground
beef recently, you probably
have noticed the words "Made
from fresh and frozen portions"
on some packages. Food spec-
ialists at the Ontario Food
Council, Ministry of Agricult-
ure and Food are frequently
asked to explain why ground
beef is made from frozen port-
ions and whether or not this
ground beef can be re -frozen
at home.
Consumers must realize that
there are tremendous humps
and valleys in the beef supply.
When beef production is way
up, boneless beef is frozen for
/ater use. When production,
is down and the consumer dem-
and high, we either draw on our
own frozen supply or import
boneless beef from other count-
ries.
Mr. and Mrs. John P. Groot were married on March 26,

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Hofstra, Holland.
