The Blyth Standard, 1977-10-05, Page 1Blyth has lots of spirit (By Debbie Ranney) For a small community of about 850 people, Blyth has proven that it's got the thing that it takes to keep a community of this size going. That thing is "community spirit" • a real sense of community involvement in what is happening to the village and actively taking a part in what is happening. A lot of Blyth's sense of involvement comes from its various clubs and organizations. One such organization is the Orange Lodge which was formed in 1858 and has become involved in a home at Richmond Hill that looks after boys out of broken homes and they also have a home for the aged in Orillia that they own and operate. Another organization with a sense of communityinvolvement is the Blyth Legion which began in 1946. For their work in the community they co-sponsor minor sports with the Lion's Club as well as looking after the decoration day services at the Blyth Union Cemetery. Their main concerns though are with senior citizens and welfare work. `The Ladies Auxiliary of the Legion is not lacking in community spirit either, getting together to make their own money for welfare work by catering to different organizations. They also visit a veteran in Westminster Hospital, visit the hospital once or twice a year and take treats to the veterans at the hospital. W.I. theatre as well as the other activities that go on there. But, besides helping in Blyth, the Women's Institute has, also been active in other areas. They worked with the Red Cross in the First and Second World Wars sending war parcels and were also involved with the women's exhibits at the old Blyth Fall Fair. In 1950, they began sponsoring 4-H Homemaking clubs for young girls and short courses for adults and have continued to do so. The Eastern Star Lodge gives Blyth women a chance to get involved in helping with charity. Started in 1953, the Blyth Order of the Eastern Star has made contributions to the Florence Nightingale Home at Agincourt, the Canadian Cancer Society, the tie AT THE OPENING CEREMONIES — Official opening ceremonies for the Senior Citizens day care centre at Huronview in Clinton were held Friday.

The board accepted a recommendation from the budget committee that the two buses be sold as is where is along with three other buses replaced this year. The board balked at the prices offered for the buses earlier but now decided the vehicles aren't worth much more than what was offered and decided to sell. The five buses were put up for sale by tender at the end of the last school term and the tenders were opened and presented to the board at its September meeting. Prices offered for three of the buses were considered fair but two others seemed low to the board and the matter was turned over to the budget committee to try to negotiate a better price. Budget committee chairman R.J.Elliott of Blyth told the board that the five prices for the buses were $1,050, $925, $505, $250 and 5100. Wingham trustee Jack Alexander asked why the committee was recommending that the low prices be accepted. He said he understood that the board wanted to try for a higher price adding that $100 wasn't very much money. He said the board may be better to keep the bus since $100 wouldn't buy a window for a bus and the board may be able to use the vehicle for spare parts. Elliott said that the bus had already been stripped of most valuable parts and was being sold as is. H e said he understood that one bus lacked an engine and another was almost completely stripped. Colborne trustee Shirley Hazlitt said she didn't know if the idea would work but suggested that the board keep the bus to be used at the board display at the plowing match to be held in Huron County. She said she didn't know anything about what was planned for the match but was merely asking to see if consideration had been given to it. (Continued on Page 14) We have a responsibility On assuming publication of the Blyth Standard, we are aware of the long years, extending nearly a century, during which the Standard has served the Blyth Community. We realize our responsibility to ensure that this tradition of service built up through so many years not only be continued but at every opportunity expanded. We are happy that we will continue to enjoy the association of the former publisher Keith Roulston through the popular column "Behind the Scenes" which he has agreed to contribute each week. Through his column he will be able to continue to advance the interests of and comment on the activities of the Blyth area as he has done so effectively during the nearly seven years in which he and his wife Jill were publishers of the Standard. As editor of the Standard Rhea Hamilton and those associated with her will endeavour to fully record the activities of the community. As a native of Goderich and a resident of RR.3, Auburn with roots deep in this area Rhea Hamilton already is familiar with the community and looks forward to meeting and co-operating with its people. The pages of the Blyth Standard will be available at all times to tdvance the interests of the village and the community it serves. We invite the co-operation and support of readers and advertisers alike so that the Standard may continue to chronicle the happenings of the community and also to reflect its hopes and aspirations. To this end we invite those interested to use the columns of the Standard as frequently as desired to discuss matters of concern to the community; we invite the churches, the organizations, the sports groups to forward regularly details of their activities and we invite you our readers to tell us of your activities - the visits, the weddings and the anniversaries. With this co-operation there is assurance that the Standard will continue to make a worthwhile contribution to the community it serves. Andrew Y. McLean McLean Bros.

McLean, Publisher Rhea Hamilton Editor and Advertising It's your paper The editor is new. But the Blyth Standard isn't. Your newspaper has been a vital part of the village and surrounding community for more than 80 years. We intend to keep it that way. But to make the Standard vital to everyone of its readers we need your help. And if the welcome that has been extended to the new editor in the last week is any indication, our' readers are willing to help us make the Standard the best possible newspaper this village can produce. We're glad to be here. We'II be out on the street, covering news and picking up advertising and we hope we'll meet a lot of you. Please feel free to come into the Standard office, meet the new editor and talk over any suggestions you have for the improving our coverage of Blyth and area. We at the Standard believe that a strong community newspaper is crucial to a strong village and surrounding rural area. Some may argue the value of a weekly paper when reading the "who visits who" columns but we believe personal news is important. Your paper covers village and county issues in detail giving you the readers a complete view of what is going on in your local governments. The Standard carries meeting reports of community minded clubs and volunteer organiza- tions. For an entertaining night on the town the best place to find out where you want to go is the entertainment page of the Standard. There you find dances, receptions, theatre listings and even who's playing at the local hotel. And that's not all! The Standard covers church and school news, sports news, area correspondent's news. You name it; we try to give it to you. But there is a catch. The office staff of The Bly th Standard is only three strong and there are II mitations on how much territory we can cover ourselves. When you see something that interests you and is of interest to others, that's news - please remember us. We are as near as your telephone. If you have a correspondent in your area contact her. The Blyth Standard is for Blyth and area residents. This is your paper. When used to its fullest potential It can benefit you. We look forward to hearing from you. Our first editjon is hot off the press and in your hands. What do you think? Write us at the Standard or give us a call at 523-9646. And through it all, they worried about low prices for most field crops. H ardly a year, many will grumble, to feel very thankful. But it's y ears like this one that point out most what a miracle the annual production of food is. We tend to take the cycle of nature, of p lanting, growth, ripening and harvest for granted when we have year of .ter year of bumper harvests, Only when the cycle gets messed up do we realize just how miraculous all those good crops were, I think living with this knowledge is what makes rural people different than city people. I've lived in both environments and it's hard to beli eve how much they can effect you. When I first went off to university from my home in a small village, I found myself in a downtown Toronto environment. At first it was exciting, only two blocks away from the gaudy Yonge Street st rip, which was not the "Sin Strip" in those days, but seemed delightfully sinful to those pf us who were used to quiet smalltown life. It wasn't long, however, before the novelty wore off. Instead of the glitter, litter manyof us g began to see instead the bleakness of the city. We began to long for open space and found our solace only in the vast, concrete grayness of city hall square. We were starved for the greeness of a pasture field, for the sight of a tree that was more than a few feet tall. But as important was the difference in attitude of city people. Nature was something to be controlled and manipulated in the city. City fathers bragged about the growing network of walkways and walk underground shopping concourses where y ou could walk for miles without seeing the light of day or, horrors, getting you] feet wet in rain or snow. You went from an airconditioned apartment building to an aircondidtioned subway train to an airconditioned office building and probably took time out to shop in aclimate controlled mall sometime during the day. You could see it in the way people dress, where city people try to wear summer-like clothes all y ear round and suffered wet feet or frozen knee caps rather' than suffer the indignity of having to wear winter boots or pantsuits instead of dresses. You could see it in the way people talked and wrote. Look at the books and poetry of city writers andou'Il see theyseldom Y deal with the rythms of nature the way writers of the past did, or for that matter, the way rural -based writers of today do. They don't have that sense of being part of the natural cycle of doing things. There's a sense of alienation from nature, or a feeling that nature doesn't matter at all. Seldom is there a relilgious appreciation in the work of modern city writers. It may be possible, but I think it's a lot harder, to be an atheist living in a rural environment than it is in the city. It's pretty hard to get that feeling of human superiority t hat citypeople getat being able to control nature when you know at any time in the country that nature, might lower the boom on you with a tremendous snowstorm, or y our crops might get wiped out by monsoon -like rains or drought might make the well run dry. You soon realize what a thin line there is between "civilization" and anarchy. So we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving around our house this week even though the back roof is still leaking because it hasn't stopped raining long enough for us to be able to fix it, and even though the tomato crop we tended so carefully from seed has mostly gone to rot in the wet weather. Our losses have been miniscule beside those of our neighbours who have watched thousands of dollars of crops rot in the field but I think even they, living as they do with the way of nature, will be thankful, if not for this harvest, for past and future ones. 4U„,.y. kt 40:....... frliI Old house; Information wanted Centennial year isn't over yet and we certainly haven't covered all of Blyth's past 100 y ears of history.

That's a term that parents of school age children hear increasingly. At a recent meeting of the Junior Women's Institute of Ontario members heard a speaker on the topic. What follows is a report of his remarks, taken from the Spring 1977 issue of Home and Country. Learning Disabilites Dr. Griffith Morgan, University of Guelph spoke about common cause of learning disabilities in children. The first three years of life are the most important in determining a child's learning abilities. Growth and development begin at conception, making prenatal life, or the "hidden" year of life, extremely important. There are many factors during prenatal life that ' affects the development of the feturs, stress on mother, disease in the mother, age of the mother, nutrition and smoking habits of the mother. Glood and genetic factos should also be considered. Genetic counselling can often avert later problems. The birth of the child has a great deal to do with the future health of the child. A difficult birth such as a breach can cause stiffling and lack of oxygen resulting in brain damage. Parents must ask questions" At birth an infant's brain is one (Continued on Page 16) 6—THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 5, 1977 Couple return from trip west Mr, and Mrs. Bruce Hamilton and family of Lucknow visited on Sunday with Mr, and Mrs. Edgar Wightman on Sunday afternoon.

If I know that some pain in the arm has been trying to get me on the phone, I also know immediately that he or she wants me to do something that 1 don't want to do. Therefore, I take the phone off the hook and leave it off until the pain has found some other sucker. I Another invention of mine to stay out of trouble is patented as Ncga-Prod: This is short for Negative P roduction. The theory is simple. The more you produce, the more problems you have, whether it is children, manufactured goods or farm products, The more children you haves, the more emotional and economic problems you create for yourself. The morel goods you produce, the more you have to hustel to find customers and meet payrolls. The more farm stuff y ou raise, whether it's beef or beans, the greater your chance of being caught in a glut on the market. Our great national railways caught on to this years ago. When they had lots of passengers, they had lots of problems. People wanted comfort, cleanliness, decent meals, and some assurance that they would get where they were going on time. There was much more money to be made, and fewer problems, by transporting wheat and lumber and ca ttle. So the railways began treating people like cattle. Passenger trains became uncomfortable and dirty. Quality of the food dropped like a stone. And they never arrived on time. Presto. End of problems. No more passengers. So the railways were able to cut off non-payng passenger lines, get rid of all those superfluous things like station agents and telegraphers and train conductors, and concentrate on taking from one point to another things that paid their way and didn't talk back: newsprint, coal, oil, wheat. Perhaps this is the answer for our provincial governments, which arc quickly and quietly building massive mountains of debt for future taxpayers. Perhaps they should just stop building highways, and repairing those already in existence. We'd all be sore as hell for a while, but as the roads got worse and worse, most of us would stop driving our cars. The governments would save millions of dollars now spent on higiihvays, and they could fire two-thirds of the highway cops. I don't quite see how the governments • could use Nega-Prod to get out of the liquor business, which certainly produces plenty of problems. The booze trade is so profitable that asking government to abandon it would be like. asking a millionaire to forsake his country estate for a run-down farm. Perhaps if they had a Free Booze Day, once a week, every week, say on a Saturday, it would solve a number of problems. It would certainly reduce the surpluus population, This , in turn, would cut down, drastically, the unemployment figures. Should the provincial governments find that Ncga-Prod is all I've suggested, some . of it might spill over into the federal government, usually the last to catch on to what tre country really needs. Instead of the manna and honey flowing from Ottawa in the form of baby bonuses and pensions, we might get some terse manifestos: "People who have more than one and a half children will be sent to jail for four years. Note: separate jails". "Persons who p Ian to live past 65 and claim a pension will be subject to an open season each year, from October 1 to Thanksgiving Day. Shotguns and bicycle chains only," "All veterans of all wars may claim participation by reason of insanity, and may apply to Ottawa for immediate euthenisation," These might seem slightly Draconian measures, but they sure would put an end toa lot of our problems and troubles. Think of what they would do for such sinful activities as sex, growing old, and hanging around the Legion Hall, playing checkers. But we must also think of the economic benefits. With a plug put into that river of paper money flowing from Ottawa, taxes would drop, inflation would vanish and undoubtedly, separatism would wither on the vine. People would be lined up six deep at the U,S.Border, trying to get across, and that; would solve, in one swell foop, our unemployment difficulties. We could go back to being hewers of water and carriers of wood, which was our manifest destiny before the politicians got into thca ct. Fishermen or lumberjacks, in short, which most of the rest of the world thinks we are anyway. Nega-Prod may seem a bit lofty and abstracta t first glance, but it works. I know from personal experience. Every time I try to make something, or fix something, it costs nie a lot of money, and I get into a lot of trouble. So, 1 have a policy of never trying to fix something or make something. It's a lot less trouble to put up signs: "Beware of falling bricks; Not responsible for slivers from picnic table." And so on.

New director speaks to WI Miss Molly McGhee, Director of Home Economics Branch, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Toronto, was guest speaker at the London Area Convention of the Women's Institute held at the Sandpiper Inn, Vanastra, on Wednesday and Thursday, September 28 and 29. As a comparative newcomer to Women's Institute work, she has assessed the current situation with an unbiased eye and was impressed by it's diversity. She urged members to mount an active recruitment campaign to bolster their dwindling numbers. Women's Institute services are needed more than ever but many rural residents know nothing about the organization or its goals, she said. When it was founded 80 years ago, child- rearing and health standards, hygiene and nutrition were its priorities. These still are, but from a different outlook. Single parent families, communal families, working mothers, alcohol and drugs are the organizations concern now. Many people who live in the country work in the 'cities nowadays bringing rural and urban communities together more. Miss McGhee termed Women's Institute a unique organization because of its wide- spread use of volunteers to distribute information through 4-H courses and seminars for members (Senior Training Schools). Each individual of today must act as an agent of change, she said. Changes are forecast in the outlined courses. Energy, conser- vation, freezing, canning, and pickling, and budget courses in home decorating are being introduced all with the emphasis on energy conservation.

HARDY Mass at Blyth eve Sunday at 9 a.m. Blyth (Continued from Page 1) Salvation Army, the Children's War Memorial Hospital in thndon, Easter Seals and many more, Caring As well as giving to charitable organizations, community spirit also involves a sense of caring about how your community appears to other people and the things you have done within that community to help make a good impression, And the Blyth people haven't fallen down on that score either, The Horticultural Society has been beautifying the village since 1922. They planted the flowers at the Horticultural Park on Dinsley Street, put in flower beds at the north and south ends of town and landscaped the new community centre, They were also responsible for putting a cairn in the park on Dinsley Street in memory of the early pioneers. Reunion And as for a major tourist attraction, Blyth even has one of those in the form of the Thresher's Reunion which has people coming from far and wide to examine old model steam. engines, drag saws, shingle mills, hand fed separators, hay presses and much more, And even the women and children aren't bored here because the Reunion also has parades, bake sales, crafts and entertainment, Nothing To Do? The usual complaint heard in a village the size of Blyth is that the young people have nothing to do, But if the. young people of Blyth want to prove that they have the same sense of community involvement as their peers, there is at least one solution to the problem. They could join the Leo Club, an offspring of, the Lions Club. The Leo Club which was just formed in 1976 has already started making their contribution to the community raising $1800 for the new arena, holding walkathons, bake sales and dances in order to raise money for the crippled children and they helped to put monkey bars in the bon's Park. They also help the community in other ways. by raking people's lawns, helping beautify the town and serving at banquets, But, perhaps, one of the biggest places where Blyth has proven it can make it on its own was with the building of the two spirit arenas. The first arena was officially opened in 1951, It was. through the efforts of members of the Village Council, representa- tives of the Lions Club, Legion and Agricultural Society who had a meeting with the representa- tives of a lumber company that the arena was built at a cost of $27,000,1 No Auditorium However, the old arena was not without its faults as it had no auditorium and no place for hockey fans and only two dressing rooms, but the biggest problem of all 'was that it used natural ice which made it difficult when mild weather came. And so they didn't use it much except for playing broomball. That's when that old community spirit got going again. The Lion's Club led the way in getting artificial ice for the arena in 1967 through an Agricultural grant, a Recreational grant and a Canada Centennial grant along with about $20,000 or $25,000 which was raised in Blyth and its surrounding townships. When the Lion's Club. decided to take the financial responsibility citizens of Blyth and the surrounding communities were generous with both time and money. In spite of all this great effort, the Blyth arena wasn't built for 1970's building codes, and when the province condemned arenas, it was one of those that had to go. More Efficient But it was a change for the better as the new arena has an auditorium, four dressing rooms and is basically a much more efficient building. And not only that, but Blyth and its surrounding townships have shown more interest in this arena as it is.being used for much more including broomball, hockey, public skating, figure skating, roller skating, sales, dances and banquets. Blyth is a unique village in that it has its own theatre and a professionalism not expected to be found in such a small place. The theatre provides a major attraction for both the people of Blyth and outsiders and it's just one more thing Blyth can be proud of. Amazing Effort This is Blyth's Centennial Year which naturally meant a celebra- tion.

People from outside of Blyth may think of it as a place to buy their leather and suede coats. It is that, but Blyth citizens have proven it can be more than that with people donating their time and money to make sure this community stays alive and vibrant. If Blyth people keep going like they have in the past, it will stay that way.

'phis is a reduction of 75 per cent, while overall eye injuries decreased by 65 per cent, to 88 from 253 reported cases, Dr, Pashby attributes the decrease to the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association's (CAHA) stricter rules on high sticking and the increasing use of face protectors. He is a member of CSA's technical committee on protective equipment for hockey and lacrosse players, which recently published a standard on Guelph offers agricultural politics course Few topics have generated =re conflict and controversy in recent years than the formulation of agricultural policy in Canada and in the provinces. In responses to the demonstrated need for a better understanding of this subject, the Department of Political Studies at the University of Guelph is offering for the first time this semester a new course, "The Politics of Agriculture." The course will focus on the relationship between farmers, farm organizations, government, and the agricultural and food industry. "The establishment of such a course atlGuelph was long overdue," says Prof. R.W. Phidd who will teach the course. He feels that the agricultural tradi- tion at Guelph makes such a course vital in view of the current widespread debate on agricul- tural and food policy at both the national and provincial levels. Students enrolled in "The Politics of Agriculture" will look at the conflicts involved in the formulation of agricultural policy. They will be concerned with the working of political institutions at all levels of government. Students may undertake research in areas such as the structure and working of the Canada Department of Agriculture, the provincial Ministry of Agriculture and Food, marketing boards and the inter- relationship amongst farmers, farmers' organizations, govern- ment, consumers and the food processing industry. Many of the issues involved in the formulation of agricultural policy are related to the changing nature of the rural and urban communities in Canada, says Prof. Phidd. Consequently, the course will also examine the politics of Canadian land use and the ways in which technology has changed the relationship between agriculture and land. The course will cover three distinct periods of agricultural policy, beginning with confederation when such policies were tied to immigration policy, especially in western Canada. It will include the period of increased government involve- ment in the post World War 11 period to 1969, and subsequent developments in policy since the 1969 Federal Task Force in Agriculture. Prof. Phidd expects 40 to 50. students for the lecture course which will draw guest speakers from other University depart. ments, government agencies, farmers' organizations, consum- er groups and the food industry. The guest -lecture technique will be supplemented as much as possible with seminar discussions. eye and teeth protectors for hockey forwards and ' defencemen. CSA is now testing face masks to the standard and certified protectors should 'begin to appear on the marketplace this winter. The protectors must endure torture tests at CSA's Rexdale, Ontario, laboratories before certification is granted. The masks will be cooled to a temperature of -20 degrees C and then a puck, with the force of 60 foot pounds, will crash down on the protector. If the protector cracks, it fails the test. Optical tests will also be carried out to ensure that players can see adequately when wearing the masks. The standard covers both clear plastic and mesh protectors, and the spaces in the mesh protectors must be sufficiently small so that the blade of a hockey stick cannot penetrate the mask. "I think it's very important that CSA has a standard to measure these preducts in order to keep junk off the marketplace," explains Dr. Pashby. "There have been adequate wire mesh protectors with openings large enough to allow a stick through. CSA certification will also give the CAHA a reason to make the wearing of CSA certified protectors mandatory," Several hockey leagues, such as the Ontario Minor Hockey Association have already made face protectors mandatory, which Dr. Pashby believes has led to the dramatic decrease in hockey eye injuries. In the 1974.75 season, most eye injuries occurred to those in the 11-15 years age group, while last season, two-thirds of the injured players were 16 years of age or over. This is because the younger players are wearing protectors, Fabric Clearances 54"-60" Wool/Polyester Blends - to $8.99 Special $ 5.00 Yd. 54" Men's Plaid Shirting - blue or brown $3.00 Yd. 60" Acrylic Blends to 6.99 yd.

Board of Ed Names expenses The Huron County Board of Education rade buses, provision of better facilities for trainable retarded and elementary industrial and home economics facilities its capital expense priorities for the next two years. The three projects are estimated to cost $755,000 when the board actually undertakes them, The two year projection was done by the board at the request of the ministry of education. Each year the ministry asks provincial boards to submit capital forecasts to allow the province to prepare its own capital expenses for the year. The ministry supports each board on capital projects and asks what those projects are to enable it to earmark necessary funds. John Cochrane, director of education, told the board that the exercise was necessary but probably futile. He said he fully expected the board to say no to the Huron requests just as it said no last year. He said he was unable to tell the board what to do but did say that if he was able to he would ask the ministry for six new buses and funds to update facilities at J.A.D.McCurdy School for the trainable retarded and leave it at that. The move would eliminate one priority for 1978 and five for 1979, Cochrane said that the reasoning for the request was that last year the same requests were made by 'the Huron board and the ministry replied that the requests would be rejected on the basis that the province was giving priority to additional expenses for more students in growth areas of the province.. Last year the Duron board asked that it b , considered for assistance on projects valued at $225,000 in 1977. The money was for three projects, the renovation and updating of a chemistry laboratory at South Huron District High School in Exeter, the provision of more adequate facilities at McCurdy school and the purchase of six replacement buses, Listed in the priorities for 1978 were an Advertising.- Niottrastive � up saves you time! CANADIAN ADVERTISING ADVISORY BOARD instrumental room at Seaforth District High School valued at $50,000, home economics and industrial arts facilities at three elementary schools valued at $200,000 each, improvement of music facilities at Central Huron Secondary School at about $20,000, the provision of staff room and staff washroom at South Huron valued about $35,000 and provision of computer facility at South Huron or another secondary school valued at $40,000, Seaforth trustee John Henderson said he was in favour of the upgrading of facilities at McCurdy School and of buying the six buses but added that the board should try to get many for the industrial ar is and home economics facilities for the elementary schools. Cochrane told the board that the updating of the chemistry lab was not a priority now due to declining enrolment at South:iuron. He said the, principal of the school said that a moderate improvement would meet the school needs and expected to ask, the board for $3,000 worth of work in the 1978 budget. Cochrane added that the ministry will only consider replacing buses if they are ove r seven years old. or have travelled more than 84,000 miles. The busesare expected to cost $100,000, the facilities, for the trainable retarded bout $55,000 and the ho me economics and industrial arts facilities ab out $200,0;00 a school.

Another bus was designated by the budget committee for a pilot project at Goderich District Collegiate Institute, The bus was tobe put at GDCI for one year for use on field trips and organized athletic events and a record be kept of all costs including supply teachers in connection with the use of the bus. The idea for the project was to see if the board could save money by keeping its own buses in service for such ventures from schools rather than renting a bus and paying costs for the driver and the vehicle every time the school needed it. At a board meeting recently several trustees suggested that the move would save the board a considerable amount of money in the future as well as being more convenient to the schools. The board also accepted a recommendation that the standard $200. grant for munici- palities h olding special celebra- tions , such as centennials, be dropped and that each request for money for celebrations be treated separately. The budget committee felt that each request would be different depending on the size of the celebration and thatleach one should be treated individually. A request for additional lockers for Goderich District Collegiate Institute was tabled until 1978. The high school is short about 50 student lockers according • to GDCI principal John Stringer who tdd the board that students' are having to double up in lockers to get around the shortage. The committee felt that the board didn't have money this year for additional lockers but advised Stringer that if his school budget could be adjusted to purchase the lockers this year without asking the board for more money he was free to buy them. The board accepted recom- mendations; from the budget committee for the purchase of a colour television for J.A.D. McCurdy Public School since the school budget can afford it and approved the purchase of a dinosaur cli mbing apparRtus for Hensall Public School t,1hder the same auspices. A request for a new piano for Zurich Public School was tabled to see if a suitable used piano could be found. The board also amended its policy for community use of schools after school hours. The change alters the charge for the . use of the facillity to a flat rate rather than the present actual custodial overtime charge. The policy also permitted school principals in the interest of good community relations, to lend equipment ,chairs, tables and other items from the school at no charge understanding that the borrower is responsible for any damage and that the loan is contingent upon the prompt return of the. equipment at a time designated by the principal when Hallrice Club wins at Brussels Fall Fair It turned out to be a beautiful last day of summer for the Brussels Fair and the Achieve- ment Day of the Hallrice Dairy Club.

So these early years of life are extremely important in stimulating and developing the brain to function well. This means that parents must learn to watch for any change no matter how minutes in their child's reactions and development. Parents often do not question their doctor enough and so many problems go unchecked for too long. No matter what you are concerned about • ASK YOU DOCTOR. Children need constant interaction with people if their brain and learning capacities are to develop properly. We must broaden discussion with our children to help them develop and encourage them to use their imagination and ingenuity. The speaker said, males arc one month behind females in their development at birth. Therefore boys often tend to be slightly slower to read, slower in school and have more physical disabilities.
