No dirty tricks as. Perth PCs elect The Perth PC riding association elected its dele- gates to the June leadership convention without the so- called "dirty tricks"experi- enced in other ridings. "Perth County is a .re- spectable county," Perth rid- ing asfociation president Vincent Judge of Listowel told the ,over 160,, party faithfuls in attendance at the Stratford Coliseum on Satur- dd7 here was no influx of new members prior to the meeting and "the people here arc long-time members" com- mented Mr. Judge. As president of the local riding Mr. Judge was chosen as one bf 'the delegates to attend the Ottawa conv.en• tion. He commented that interest in the party has grown since the Winnipeg leadership review, but he hasn't liked what he has seen happening in some ridings across thctountry. There is interest in the upcoming convention at the local level as evidenced by the large crowd in attendance. Some party members said it was the largest delegate - choosing meeting they have seen. Once those assembled voted to send Mr. Judge to the convention, the election of the remaining thred senior delegates was held. Stratford Alderman and former PC provincial candidate Colleen Misener, Stratford lawyer and, past riding presidegt John Stratton and Perth rid- ing association secretary Nina Carey of Stratford were chosen out of 11 nominees as the other delegates. Mrs. Carey was the only dclegatti that gave an indica- tion as to whom she will be voting for at the convention. She commented that she supported Joe Clark in Win- nipeg, and will watch what happens in June. "1'm going to observe and hopefully follow through and vote for Mr. Clark;" said Mrs. Carey. The other delegates said they made no decision and 6 LITRE BOX SEAFORTH SUPERIOR FOOD MARKET OPEN MON. to SAT. 9 a.m.-6 p.m. OPEN EVERY Thurs. & Fri.

She said it will be easier to base her decision on these visits rather than justify listening to speeches in Otta- wa. Mr. Stratton, while he said he wouldn't divulge the names of five candidates he could be happy with, said he definitely wouldn't be voting for Brian Mulroney, Peter Pocklington or John Camp- bell. The two junior delegates elected by the Perth Young Progressive Conservatives (YPC) were Clark Stratton of Stratford and Craig Sander- son of Listowel.

Well math can be fun and if you listen to Perth County Board of Education math . implementation leader Gerry Krug, the subject is fascinat- ing. The Board of Education trustees experienced this first hand as they maneuvered red plastic miras (capital letter I -shaped) around geometric shapes. learned. how to add and multiply on their fingers and were shown how . to compute programs on calcu- lators. Mr. Krug's presentation to the board was a progress report on his position' which he has filled since last fall. The one-year position is simi• lar to that of math consultant which superintendent of pro- gram Keith Thompson im- plied would be a position recommended to the board in the future. The math implementation Up to 10 trustees will atter attend The Perth County Board of Education met on April 19 and dealt with the following matters briefly: Authorized the attendance of up to 10 trustees and director of education Paul Sherratt to the 15th annual meeting and convention of the Ontario Public School Trustees' Association from .lune .1 to in Toronto. It will cost about 5325.16 per dele- gate which includes 5140 for registration, 5112 for two nights accommodation, addi- tional meals and mileage. Trustees' spouses may attend the convention at an addi- tional east of $75 which is not covered by the Board. Perth says no to county wide leader demonstrated how the mires could be used in a similar fashion to the com- pass in geometry. While students are "playing" with the instrument they are also learning symmetry . —.the relation of one half of an object to the other - and other geometry facts. "They have been in the schools. but because the teachers didn't feel clonffort- able with them they weren't used," commented Mr. Krug. As for using lingers in mathematics. Mr. Krug re- called that in the past hands have been slapped for such action. He has used the hand calculation method to assist students having difficulty in math. Each trustee received a calculator for the evening's exercise with Mr. Krug de- monstrating how on some conrputers numbers upside down resemble letters. Stu- dents can then program the calculator by determining a word they want to end up as the answer to a riddle and expert achiev-e that answer by a series of mathematical equa- tions. Mr. 'Krug has prepared kits of geometric shapes and from Septenibei to December of last year sent out 150,4 these -• • kits of Perth County schools. The cost of the kits • nothing • as thc material was obtained from local industries. Rubber hoses which would have end- ed nu in the trash and pieces of material (geometric shap- es) used in such industries as luggage -making are exam- ples of items that have ended up in these "kits". The math implementation leader has also been involved in the development of an intermediate mathematics program. Using the Lambton County Board of Education's. ' math program as a guide. die– / grade seven and eight math program for Perth County schools was approved by the board at this meeting. This new pfogram places more emphasis on geometry and encompasses the metric sy- stem as the present math program is pre -metric.
