Travelling group to dispell myths A travelling theatre group will be at Seaforth District High School to dispell myths about sexual stereotypes. On Thursday, October 6, a theatre group based in Toronto called Theatre Direct will be at SDHS with. their production of Thin Ice. The group consists of four actors, two male and two female, who take on the roles of young people in dating situations, for their production. The format of the play is a series of short vignettes. The production is a look at the impact of the media on people's attitudes toward the opposite sex, with an aim to raise the level of awareness of kids about who they are and their responsibilities and rights in a rela- tionship -to help kids at a difficult age. Theatre Direct has been touring across Canada, and was the 1987 winner of the Dora Mayor Moore Award for outstanding children's theatre. After their stop in Seaforth on Thursday they will be playing other high schools in Huron County before moving on to the Atlantic provinces. The Huron County productions are sponsored by Women Today. The plays are expected to be humorous and light, but with a serious message. The general public is invited to be at the school at 9 a.m. on October 6 to see the pro- duction with the students. y' . SEAFORTH PUBLIC SCHOOL ENRICHMENT activities have recently taken students into studying the war years. Sarah Powell, Sarah Lamble, Rebecca Broome, and Shaun Anstett are just some of the students who are studying clothing, books, pictures, and household items from the 1940's. The students have antique cameras, a ration book, grocery lists, and magazine clippings to give them an idea of what the period was like. The intent of the exercise is that the children can then use the information they have studied in creative writing, to write realistic stories about the war years. In the near future students from SPS and other schools will be extending their historic studies back in time and will be visiting the Van Egmond House.

"You go out and you think about something other than your daily job. Your mind is on the hunt and nothing else." With people who say hunting is cruel or inhumane, Mr. Six would argue that man has been hunting as long as he's been on the earth. And he says half of the birds hunters bag wouldn't make it through the winter anyway because of starvation etc. And on top of this, much of the money which goes into wildlife conservation comes from hunters. He also says hunting is a lot more con- trolled than most people seem to think. "You don't just get a gun in your hands and shoot anything you see," he explains. And even though there are two ducks who float about 100 yards to his right, between him and the next hunter's post, neither hunter is legally allowed to leave his blind and go shoot at them. While it is still light all there is to do is wait, although on a few occasions he ducks low in his blind and watches some ducks as they fly past just out of range. Close enough for him to decide what kind of duck they are, but not close enough. "Give them another week and they'll know exactly where the stakes are and Educators tended the meeting. A dinner was offered and a number of guest speakers gave workshops on auxiliary topics such as involving men in hospital auxiliaries. The meeting was held on the 55th an- niversary of the Hospital Auxiliaries Association of Ontario, and Anne Atkinson, President of the HAAO was a guest speaker.

Mostly he listens to other hunters shots muffled by distance, and hears ducks calls, some of which sound more like they were made to attact crows rather than waterfowl. Eventually dark draws near, and small flocks are more frequently seen. As one group of four passes overhead he leaps to his feet and fires his first shot followed quickly by his second and a bird goes down. That's the only bird he is to get for the night, but across the swamp at the busier posts shot after shot thunders out, and the faint sounds of shots harmlessly hitting the water and the ground nearby can be heard. The small forms of birds can be seen flying just above the treeline, some making it safely by and others falling into the water to be gathered by retrievers. Eventually it is too dark to know what is being shot. Decoys are taken in, and hunters across Hullett make their way through the darkness of the swamp. But for most the way back is shortened by a bird or two in hand and the chance at a few more with the first light. epL Rates for 35 Trust Companies 524-2773 1Al'2%- Monthly 11 1•SYra.

Surely we do not have to elaborate on this point further," remark- ed Mr. Jewitt. Mr. Jewitt also referred back to the government's class size initiatives. "We were pleased that the government recognized the need to reduce the number of students in grades one, two and three. We find it absolutely ludicrous, then, that the government which wants us to achieve class sizes of twenty pupils says under its capital grant plan that a board cannot even make a submission for a building proposal unless there are more than 35 pupils per classroom." RIDDELL'S RESPONSE In answering the questions raised Mr. Riddell stated "we all know there are two sides to every story, I've heard one side and I'll be looking forward to hearing others. People are continuously asking for new hospitals and more roads. The demands be- ing put on the province for more and more money are astronomical." Mr. Riddell assured the board public school funding has been an issue for decades, and the premier has stated there is no intention to fund it at this time. Additional funding for the board was ad- dressed by stating funding to individual boards is based on the tax base of that board, and the board's ability to raise taxes. Huron receives 59 per cent of its funding from the government while Toronto, because of its much larger tax base, receives only one per cent. "As a government we're proud off our education initiatives since we took office three years ago. In our first year, we doubl- ed the amount of money the previous government had allocated to capital spen- ding on schools, while in the second year that figure tripled, and now has quadrupled. So you can see we're trying," said Mr. Riddell. Mr. Riddell also said the government is aware of the need for pupil places and their maintenance, and is addressing this issue on a priority basis. In closing Mr. Riddell promised to take the Board's comments back to Queen's Park, and make them known to Minister of Education Chris Ward.
