They make plans for weeks in advance as to where they will go and what to pack if it is a camping trip or visiting friends or they plan a gathering of their own at home. But the only thing one cannot really be sure of is the weather, but this past weekend was just perfect. The campers could lay out under the stars and listen to the birds and wee . animals and the outdoor entertainers could enjoy three lovely evenings in a row, and that is quite unusual. But, alas, there is always something to put the bite on a terrific time -- the mosquito. 1 now think 1 know why they wore those suits of armor in days gone by, it was to ward off the little beasts. Oh yes, who could forget the picnic crashers -- the ants. For such little things they sure can create a big scene. All these pesky little critters do make life interesting. Holiday weekends really do create many problems. especially with one's schedule and primarily with my paper deadline. On ordinary weekends I always seem to he in a rush at the last minute to get everything ready but on a holiday weekend life becomes frantic. We are all so programmed to wash nn Monday, the children are off to school and hubby is gone to work that a holiday sets everything back a day and we spend the rest of the week wondering which day it is. Now with the school children home for the holidays 1 never know which day it is -- I think this must be a sign of old age, don't you think so? There are a great many things of interest going to be happening in the next few weeks beginning with Summer Fun Registration on July 9 which is a Monday. The Summer Fun Program is funded by the Dublin Athletic Association and the Dublin,Lions Club and is open to all children from Kindergarten age to 12 years. The program will last for six weeks under the direction of Margaret Vandewalle, Barb Flanagan and Jenny Horan. The first day of summer fun will be on July 9 when participants register and the activities will begin at 10 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. The registration fee is $5 per child or $15 per family. If anyone wishes any further information they may contact Ernie Fleming at 345-2260. Also T -Ball will begin for the youngsters the week of July 9 and information will be available at Summer Fun registration. Coming up on July 14 is DUBLINFEST which is put on by the Dublin and District Lions Club. The festivities begin at 8 a.m. with a pancake breakfast sponsored by the Leo Club and it lasts until 11 a.m. There will be a pork barbecue from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. a ith adults $5.50 and children $3.50.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Mike McLaughlin on the occasion of their 54th anniversary which they celebrated this past week. Ministry recommends consolidation Consolidating the 19 Catholic schools across Huron and Perth Counties is ,being trongly recommended by the Ministry of "'Education. A regia released at the Huron -Perth Separate School Board's June 25 meeting entitled "Co-operative Evaluation and De- velopment of a School System" (CEDSS) presented recommendations which the CEDSS committee acknowledges could cost money. The investigators acknowledge that some of the recommendations contained in this report may, if implemented, represented additional costs to the Huron:Perth County RCSS Board in this period of fiscal restraint. The investigators strongly recommend that the Board investigate where necessary in order to marshall the available resources in a more effective manner to meet the needs of the children in their .charge," says the report's introduction. The investigators are two education officers in the Ministry of Education's London regional office, Eric Wiley and Ted Johnson. Mr. Johnson said the CEDSS report has no bearing on the current consideration of consolidation in the Stratford separate schools. The investigators compiled reports on the system prepared by an internal team and an external team. The internal team was chaired by acting superintendent Gaeten Blanchette and made up of principals, a teacher and a consultant. The external team was chaired by G. Blake, a ministry superintendent from North Bay. This team was made up of other ministry representatives as well as representatives from the Ontario Institute of Studies in Education (O1SE) and, Althouse College of Education. • The CEDSS weak wag approved by the Huron -Perth Board abotttt a year ago. Ministry funding was guaranteed up to $20,000. The study cost 514,000. Six areas were studied by the teams. Organization and facilities of schools, board and administration organization, the role of the principal and under grades 4 to 6 curriculum, language arts, physical educa- tion and family life. One of the major recommendations out- lined in the re]Sort calls for the review of the role of superintendent of education with an eye to adding staff. "A majority of respondents suggested that additional staff are needed at the supervisory level to cover the many tasks necessary at that level for the effective operation of the supervisory system," states the report. Staff -wise, all administration, director, superintendent of education and superinten- dent of business and finance seem to be doing a good job. In summary, the senior administrators are valuable and valued members of the system". - - The co-ordinators and consultants 'are also doing a good job, but according to the report, some principals identified have concerns with the role of this support staff. "Because of the range of duties assigned to the Superintendent of Education it has become necessary to delegate many of the administrative duties to, a person originally hired to be a consultant. This has resulted in a reduction of the time spent serving as a consultant," the report states. The trustees' role was also considered in the report. The report says the trustees are doing their duties as required. Trustees and some clergy discussed the influence of administrative staff over deci- sions made by the board. However, all trustees agreed administration should be serving as advisors to the board. Communication, as it - relates to such between the board and staff, administration and staff, the board and the public and the schools and the public, was also noted in the CEDSS report as an area where some improvement is necessary. The recommendations in the report will be studied by a board ad hoc committee made up of chairman Ron Murray, vice-chairman Michael Moriarity, director (acting) John McCauley and superintendent of education (acting) and chairman of the internal team Blancrtte. T is a•t•. committee will set up general plans for tablishing the CEDSS recomp mendations over a five year period. There were about 80 ratepayers randomly surveyed for the CEDSS report as well as parents, teachers and principals. Huron -Perth may get Catholic high school There may be a Catholic high school in Huron and Perth Counties. Huron -Perth Separate School Board chair- man Ron Murray of RR 1, Dublin. announced on June 25 that a steering committee will be set up to look into the possibility of having a Catholic high school in the system. The formation of such a committee comes after Premier William Davis announced Kindergarten - to grade 12 funding for separate schools in Ontario. Separate school funding from the prov'nce now only covers Kindergarten•to grade 10. There are no Catholi: high schools in either Huron or Perth. The closest Catholic high schools are in London and Kitchener. The chairman described the steering committee as a fact finding committee. Trustees, teachers, priests and parent representatives will make up the committee memberships. Also acting -director of education John McCauley and Mr. Murray sent a congratula- tory telex to Mr. Davis about his announce- ment. "We know the path you have chosen is worthy and just," states the telex. St. Columban people have Alberta visitors MRS.
