On behalf of the new President Mel we can only hope the numbers will improve. Donations were approved for two organizations with a 1500 motion approved to help the Brussels Legion Branch restore its Branch after the recent fire. The Legion's entry for the Fall Fair Queen was discussed and since then Ingrid Claus was chosen first runner up. The President and Branch would like to convey their con- gratulations to Ingrid and wish her well in the years to come. Membership chairman Al Nicholson reported the Early -bird campaign is in full swing now. There will be Early -bird draws for those who have paid their dues before the end of each month for September, Oc- tober, November and December. Since the Dominion Convention in Ottawa, the wives of Associate members are now eligible to become voting members of the Branch. Last week the Battle of Britain ceremony was held remembering all those who gave their lives in the defence -of Britain in the early days of the war. As Churchill so aptly put it and the phrase will never be forgotten. "Never was so much owed to so few by so many." There will be a booth at the fair again this year so drop around and put your name in the drum for a free draw. The Ladies' Aux- iliary are having a draw for a large hamper of groceries. The draws will take place late Friday afternoon. The Bar roster: - Wednesday, September 21, G. Bennett; Thursday, September 22, D. Ste Marie; Monday, September 26, J.

SEPARATE SCHOOL BOARD Connie Birmingham, who works with enrichment for the Huron Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board, says that board's philosophy toward enrichment is to do as much enrichment as possible within the classroom. Infrequently gifted students will be taken out of their regular classes for enrichment, and to work with students and on projects which will challenge them. Such projects have been photography, literature, and the production of a school newspaper. "The idea is to give them a variety of things. If over a period of time you give them a smorgasbord you may spark a stu- dent in the group who is interested in an ac- tivity and will pursue it on their own," says Mrs. Birmingham. The Catholic school board deals with students in two areas: gifted, who make up three per cent of the school population, and another 15 per cent who are in the talent pool. Those in the talent pool are gifted in more limited areas, but generally get along well in, school. Mrs. Birmingham admits the HPRCSSB has not yet taken enrichment to where it wants it to be. "What I would like to see is more co - planned units between teachers and students." Right now about 80 per cent of the enrich- ment units are planned by the teachers, but the board would like to see the students leading rather than the teachers, and the teachers could provide help and resources to facilitate independent study in an area of interest to the gifted student. Jered Munro, son of John and Janet of Egmondville, is a Grade 4 student from St. James who was identified as being talented in Grade 3 as a result of standard testing. Jered has taken part in two enrichment programs. The first was stamp collecting, which he found interesing. And while he hasn't become an avid collector he does now look out for rare stamps which come his way. The second unit was on the Winter Olym- pics, and Mrs. Munro says Jered showed an appreciation for the Olympics which he never would have had otherwise. He follow- ed the games and the Canadian athletes on a day to day basis in the media, learned about the history of the games and its events, and was one of those in charge of setting up an Olympics Day at the school last winter. Mrs. Munro says 'she can see no problems with the program and thinks there is a definite place for it in the school. She doesn't see it as setting her son apart from his peers, or putting him on a pedestal. "I wouldn't say my expectations are any higher because he's in enrichment," she says. For his part, Jered says he also enjoys enrichment. Given the choice whether or not he would continue in the programs or stay in regular classes he says: "I'd keep going to enrichment 'cause we usually miss Math then." "Would you keep going if enrichment was offered at lunch hour?" is the next question, and to this Jered again responds that Yes, he would, provided he still got time to eat. Generally the parents and teachers in- volved with enrichment in Huron County in both boards see it as a positive thing, and something which students only stand to benefit from. Mrs. Johnston sums up the philosphy surrounding enrichment: "This is an awfully big world with a lot of -/ awfully big problems and we're going to have to have these kids thinking to their fullest if they're going to solve them someday." 4,011 THE INT �S�.vl r �17 t` I / f a�,..
