But he said the punk look can be a problem in urban areas. Mr. Wooden was representing the princi- pals from the county's five secondary schools. He was presenting the schools' guidelines for school conduct at the Huron County Board of Education Oct. meeting. The general view taken on dress is that it be clean and acceptable in the school. Trustee Joan Van den Broeck questioned him on the dress code, noting they are open to an individuals point of view. As an example she said earrings on a young man may be offensive to some. Happy birthday to Nancy Stewart on Dec. HAPPY BIRTHDAY One school only up for review Enrolment at some public secondary and elementary schools in Huron County remains low, but there will be no accommodation reviews this year. The Huron County Board of Education at its Nov. meeting agreed to not review any of its schools. It was noted that the only school identified for review consideration which was not reviewed last year was F.E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham, In the last sehool year, three elementary schools were reviewed. J.A. D. MacCurdy in Huron Park, Hensall Public School in Hensall and Vanastra Public School in Vanastra, but none were recommended for closure. A report from the board's executive committee said that the Sept. 30 enrolment at F.E. Madill was 935, down from the Sept. 30 enrolment of a year ago of 949. ' Director of Education Bob Allan said a student population of 935 is till a viable size and provides a good student base, He said province -wide, F.E. Madill is probably in the upper half as far as student population goes. What you have though is a building that would accommodate a lot more students," said Mr. Allan. But classrooms are sitting empty. One classroom houses the resource teachers for the north half of the county and a second classroom is used as home base for the school resource teacher. In the near future it is expected that one classroom will be converted for use by senior students from Golden Circle, Consideration is being given to locating an intermediate special learning needs class in this facility as well, thr ro-cgtr•raAlr' BRUCE SMITH Soles Representative Mitchell Coop Store 130 Georgina Street Mitchell, Cant.

'He said it is tough for schools to come up with dress codes, because society in general doesn't have any codes for dress. "You can wear almost anything any- where," he said. Both he and Goderich District Collegiate Institute principal Herb Murphy said that the onlysituation where a dress code has to be enfrced is when a student wears a T-shirt with an offensive slogan on it. Mr. Murphy said he has never had any difficulty or has been challenged by a parent when a child has been sent homefor wearing an offensive T-shirt. F.E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham is the only school which clearly defines the school's dress code. Students are expected to avoid extreme forms of dress and grooming which the administration deems to be in poor taste. Shorts and T-shirts with obscenities or slogans which are offensive or in poor taste are not permitted. Shoes must be worn. In shop classes, students must wear shoes which afford some protection from sharp objects. Students with long hair may be required to wear hats in areas involving machines. The Goderich secondary school principal said there is a difficulty every year with students wearing shorts. He said he can live with patched jeans, recognizing the fact that not all families can afford designer jeans. WASHING CLOTHES, 1800s style, caught the Interest of Michael Preszcatur, Scnit .Shaddlck and Quinn Ross. They weren't particularly Interested in the actual laundry procedure, but they enjoyed churning the . wheels of the old machine round and round.

For every year, one woman in ten is abused by her husband. Put down verbally. And beaten up physi- cally -to the point of unconsciousness, hospital- ization or death. In fact, wife assault is involved in on• at of all Canada's homicides, Clearly, physical abuse of any kind is against the law, Violence against wives is especially repug- nant. The children in these homes may grow up conditioned to accept abuse, or renew the cycle by abusing others, WIFE BATTERING IT'S TIME 10 BREAK THE IE 1 CE.
