Students building nest for birds at Morrison Writing. to shadows By MURIEL ABBOTT After co-editing the Guardian page for half of this school year, I can come up with one absolute conclusion, It is impossible Co Write an effective school page for theoretical somebodies. The Guardian is 4 reflection of our school, showing among various things, the opinions of students and their reactions to current situations. The paper staff take their cue from student interest and concern, and write the page into something for all to read and comment on. So far the staff of the Guardian has been writing for one thousand unknown shadows. All we have to go on is the statistician's representation of the school which is one thousand students, most of whom are concentrated in the so-called academic stream. Besides these people, there is the business branch and the technology division. Ages range from thirteen and spiral upward. What are you interested in? We have no idea! Though one staff member's opinions may represent half the students' views, it is highly unlikely. So what do we do? We tried variety of topics. Philosophical discussions. No response. Written debates. No response, Straight news coverage. Still no response. We are left with one solution. We can write the page using only our own views, and ignore the rest of the student population. There is one other way out, though. You can tell us what you think. Do you like the Guardian? hate it? What do you want to see on the page? The staff is a very co-operative group. They like writing to be read by real people, not shadows. So far they haven't had the chance. No one will talk back to us. The Guardian should be a type of dialogue. Remember, you're who we have opinions and views about!

Hy BRUCE SIMPSON In the recent issue of the magazine, Rolling Stone, the censorship of so-called obscenity on radio is questioned once again. The case this time refers to a certain cut from John Lennon's new album. Entitled `Working Class Hero', it is by far one of the best songs from the terrific album. Its honesty and reality are never diminished by repeated playings. However, there is one minor detail that prevents this song from being aired although, it is better than the majority of bubblegum and psuedo-rock compositions that now pollute the airwaves. Because John used a derivation of a common four letter word in two phrases, this song will never be heard by the general public. As the case may be, perhaps John could have deleted the word without notice but in an interview in the same issue, John states his case as follows: put it in because it fit. I didn't even realize that there were two in the song until somebody pointed it out., .That is how I speak. Salvation As the timeless waves beat tainst my soul,' Bearing my strength to the sea afar, Rotting my growth, as it be my goal To reach light of lights, of stars, the star. A rock is but a moving sphere where I Stand so upright, moored by watery chains; With a constant change: to live is to die, To be purified is to bow to our stains. Illusions seem, and nothing more than that, 'to search and to seek for goals Unknown IS to acknowledge a quest so inapt — While its necessity causes all to roam. So he anchored firtnly on staunch friends, They'll lead a could to life's golden ends. Approximately twenty years ago this species was in danger of becoming extinct. The wood duck prefers to make use of the vacated nests of another species— the Great Northern Woodpecker. I was very near to it many times in the past, but, I would deliberately not put it in, which is the real hypocrisy, the real stupidity'. Lennon has expressed the essence of the argument. This certain four letter word is a part of the English language; its use is a common day practice. By labelling it as a 'dirty word', it has attained a social sting and therefore vulgarness. There are some people who do employ it so as to attract only attention, which by its constant, meaningless use, it does display a sense of vulgarity. A person who fits into this case, reveals himself as a form of boor. An extra note of interest is that other languages may not necessarily recognize certain English words as gross. If I were to say this four letter word to a French-Canadian, probably he would show no astonishment, only confusion. But, if I spoke the word, `tabernacle' there is a favoured chance he would express distaste. The simple reason is that 'tabernacle' is one of the strongest curse words in the French-Canadian's vocabulary. This species of woodpecker has become progressively less plentiful, resulting in the drastic decline of the wood duck population twenty years ago. At that time conservationists began a concerted program to save the species from extinction, and although wood ducks have become more plentiful as a result of this effort, the students involved in the school project can see the need for a continuing conservation program. ' Each Student in the class is making a wood duck nest, and some have already completed their projects. A local merchant, Mr. Cudmore, has generously supplied the class with scrap furnace pipe ends, the main requirement for a safe, secure nest. Scrap pieces of plywood are fitted to the ends of the pipe, a hole is made in one end for an entrance, and strapping is added to facilitate placement on a tree. The nest is constucted and placed in such a manner that Wood ducks find it a comfortable home while squirrels and racoons find access most difficult or impossible. The Ausable River Conservation Authority has agreed to place the nests made by the students in appropriate areas in the-district. Conservation does pay dividends. Twenty years ago there was no hunting season for the nearly extinct wood duck. Today hunters can bag four birds in season. The students' project is a valuable contribution to a continuing conservation program which will ensure that this valuable species never again approaches extinction in this area. Paper plans literary test After talking to several people around the school, the Guardian staff has decided that there is a lot of literary talent buried in the students of the high school. To let this talent surface, we ' are sponsoring a literary contest. There are three divisions — poetry, short compositions and photography. Short compositions will be divided into an opinion or protest on a current situation or the creative composition. Poetry and compositions should be typed and double-spaced or handwritten legibly on every other line. Though photography does not fit the • strict meaning of literal, pictures can often convey a feeling that words cannot. As is well known, one picture is worth a thousand words. Any topic can be used in the photography division. Your name should be placed clearly on every page or picture of your entry. Entries will be accepted until March 19 and the winners will be announced during the first week of April. Cash prizes will be supplied by the Student Council. Winning entries will be published in the Guardian in a special issue. A good response is expected because we know the school has Many talented people. We do riot expect anyone to be reluctant in sharing their ability. Remember, the success of the contest depends on you! be inefficient," continued Dr. Deathe, "just because the municipalities collect taxes on those dates. Let them change their collection dates. I understand there is some chance that all municipalities in Ontario will go to four times a year collections in the future." Dunlop told the board that collecting twice annually on May 17 and November 8 would be as helpful to the board as quarterly collections would be. He said that the teachers are given three cheques in June to cover June, July and August. He said that if the money from the municipalities does not come in until June 30, it is necessary for the board to borrow one and a half million dollars to cover the cheques. Board chairman Robert Elliott said that June 30 and December 15 were a "long ingrained set of dates" for payment of taxes in the municipalities, He said the administration was not involved politically as are members of the board and he added that board members would expect no less of the administration than to be advised how to operate as economically as possible. "It is for this board to decide whether it is more interested in public relations or the board of education's interest payments," concluded Elliott. Reports showed that of 23 municipalities who asked for the twice annual tax collections, only 12 (or 42.9 percent) specified the June 30 and December 15 dates. Three municipalities in Huron had not made any suggestion to the board concerning tax collection dates. students in St, Mary's School in.

Council on school board operations conducted by the Ontario Separate School Trustees Council in Toronto recently, Trustees Joseph Looby and Vincent Young spoke of the value of such meetings and how the Huron-Perth Board compared favourably in its progress with other boards in Ontario. Mr. Vintar, who bad attended the meeting as well, commended the board for being able to work out problems in a harmonious manner during the past two years. Mr. Vintar commented on the fact that about 1000 separate school students in Huron and Perth Counties had been snowbound in the storm, and that the majority of them had been billeted in private homes. He spoke of the generosity and co'-operation of people. He mentioned especially the assistance given by the radio personnel in passing out information. He said that letters of thanks were being sent out where possible and a thank-you notice put in the newspapers. By MRS. FRED BOWDEN EUCHRE PARTY Mr. & Mrs. Lawrence Hirtzel • and Mr. & Mrs. Tom Kooy were in charge of the euchre party in the community centre Monday night with seven tables in play. Prize winners were: ladies high score, Mrs. Gladys Crown, Grand Bend; lone hands, Mrs. Jack Dickens; low score, Mrs. Ken Hodgins; gent's high, Ralph Lightfoot; lone hands, George Dixon; low score, Frank Hicks. The next party will be March 1. Mrs. Jack Essery is a patient in St. Joseph's Hospital, London, as the result of a snowmobile accident. Mrs. Lawrence Hirtzel visited Monday with her daughter, Mrs. Karl Keller and baby daughter, in St, Joseph's Hospital. Chairman uses gavel Chairman Robert, Elliott had to use the gavel to bring members of the Huron County Board of Education to order following a heated discussion concerning future academic plans for education in this county. The administration had listed several items for discussion including libraries for all ele- mentary schools, conversational French in all elementary schools, speech therapy available where needed, psychological services and provision of an audio-visual centre for the county. Board members were not agreed on which items had the highest priority and their 'varied opinions formed the basis for the discussion. Director of education, John Cochrane stressed that he and his staff did not expect the board to make a decision on all or any of the proposals. Cochrane said the subject matter was presented to the board only as a matter of information, a guide to determine.. those things in which the board was interested and those things for which it had small concern at present. No priorities were set before Elliott's gavel signalled the end of discussion. It is understood the board continued the subject at a later committee-of-the-whole meeting "in-camera" without press coverage. Time;-Advocate, February 18, 1971 Page 11 Some use 'dirty words' to attract attention The Huron County Board of Education will collect taxes from the municipalities twice during 1971—on June 30 and December 15. Even though superintendentof business affairs Roy B. Dunlop estimated it could- cost the board of education a minimum of 12,000 or a maximum of 24,000 to collect taxes on these dates as opposed to May 17 and November 8, the board members agreed by recorded vote —7 votes to 6 — to collect taxes June 30 and December 15. Those in favor of the May 17 and November 8 dates were Mrs. J. W. Wallace, Garnet Hicks, Dr. A. B. Deathe, John Taylor, James Taylor and Mrs. Warren Zinn. Those who voted for the later dates were John Henderson, Dr. Alex Addison, Don McDonald, Clarence McDonald, Alex Corrigan, Mrs. Marilyn Kunder and Wilfred Shortreed. It was Dr. Deathe who asked for the recorded vote. "I would like to represent the taxpayers to the best of my abilities while I am on this board," stated Dr. Deathe. "There is no way I'm going to throw away $24,000." "You wouldn't be throwing it away," retorted Dr. Addison. "The same ratepayers are involved and what is lost in one , place will be gained in another." "There is no reason for us to
