The school, held during the first two weeks in July, had an enrollment of 192 this year, a slight increase over last year when the students totalled 165. In spite of the fact that gardens often went untended and extra dust gathered in homes, those involved either in teaching or in other aspects felt it was definitely worth the time and effort. Indeed most considered it a privilege to be a part of the annual en- deavour, As one of the choruses the children frequently sang during their morning devotions goes, "Love is something if you give it away, you end up having more", No one person held the responsibility of director this year, but rather various persons accepted specific duties normally carried out by the director in previous years. Mint Smith acted as worship leader each morning leading the children in the assemblies as well as during the concluding program last Friday evening, Mrs, Ruth McCallum, who has faithfully taught in the Bible, School for many years, worked as teachers' supervisor, giving guidance and support to theiteaching staff and being responsible for the daily staff meetings. Both Ruth Martin and Ruth Arnel also made con- siderable contributions to the welfare of the school with many behind-the-scenes preparations before hand. arranging for teachers, supplies, ac- commodation and buses, thus laying a firm foundation, In the past, the dwell itself was the main base for the school with the overflowing classes in other locations, However, this, year all ten classe.s;wereld in the East Williams Public elh School along with East Williams Town Hall which housed the two kin- dergarten classes, Nairn ;bus lines again picked up the children each morning along regular school routes and brought them, to the school a few minutes before 9 a.m. Promptly at 9 0,m, the bell gave the signal for classes to line up. Marching to the traditional theme song, "Onward Christian Soldiers" the children proceeded into the auditorium with their teachers. In the general assembly, the children sang and learned Bible verses. Ruth Smith shared a story with the children each morning. The children themselves were encourage to make individual contributions by bringing items each day for the wonder table, and pictures for a large mural depicting God's creation, They were encouraged also to respond with their own musical gifts and many gave of themselves. One morning, the grade four class sang, and the grade 5 and 8 together sang another morning. Neil , Cudney sang and played the guitar, Wilma and Beth Swith, Wanda Currie and Wilma Rnith and Lyn and Brian Gartley each sang duets on separate mornings. Gordon Windsor gave a piano solo. Grade six teacher, Jana Lyn Stewart also offered inspiration When she shared ,two of her own conipositions in song giving praise to. God. The ',group would then divide into twelve separate classes. Many of the younger teachers had only a few years previous been pupils themselves and could recall when classes were held in a shed behind the Mennonite' Church which would be filled with children, Extra accommodation was later found at the East Williams Public School and the shed removed, For two years prier to this, the Ailsa Craig Public School Was used while the East Williams School was being enlarge. This year, the Board of Education grantedlpermission to use the older section of the school and the new auditorium, which kept the whole school closer together for easier ad- ministration, Friday evening, July 11th saw the auditorium filled to capacity with a crowd of children,farnilies and friends for the closing program. Jim Stanley, a local missionary recently returned from Kendougou, Senegal, Africa, showed a few slides of his work there as the children had in the past sent part of their of- ferings to support his efforts. Each of the classes involved demonstrated through song and work what they had experienced during the two weeks,:i Mrs. Ruth McCallum presented 'diplomas to Grade 8 students; Carol McCallum, David Gingerich, Mary Lyn Elliott, Sandra Schlegel and 'Marion! Watson; and to Grade nine students, Lyn Cousins, Grace Norseman and Dale Watson. Mrs. McCallum also expressed thanks to School custodians Mrs. Violet Pickering and Mrs. Dorothy Lightfoot for their constant co-operation throughout the two weeks; and to bus drivers Donna Cox, Betty O'Brien and Mrs. Mitchell who also con- tributed their time transporting the chidren, Simon Bender who has prepared cookies and drink for the three younger classes these last few years was also thanked. Teachers this year included: Nursery Class, Mrs, Marilyn Cornish and Mrs. Myrtle Davies; Kindergarten I, Miss Marion Eagleson and Mrs. Audry Wilms; Kindergarten II, Mrs. June Steeper and Cynthia Cornell; Grade 1, Mrs. Joy Scheifele; Grade 2, Mrs. Doreen Ropp, Miss Gail MacKenzie and Mrs, Ruth Martin; Grade 3, Mrs, Anne Elliott and Mrs, Beryl Watson; Grade 4, Mrs. Sue Heiderbrecht; Grade 5, Levi Smith, Grade 6, Miss Jana Lyn Stewart;Grade 7, Miss Nancy McKichan and Mrs. Mary Ellen McKenzie; Grade 8 Mrs. June Henry and Joan Lockyer; Grade 9, Wilfred Schlegel, The love offering which the children brought each day is to be divided evenly among three projects chosen by the teachers involved. One third will be sent to the Canadian Bible Society, one third to Jim Stanley and the remaining third will go toward supporting a child in school in Bangladesh, This year the of- fering amounted to $216.00 HAVING FUN - Sandra Chamberlain, one of the Tri-County Players who entertained children in Ailsa Craig last week is seen with the children imitating dogs during the program.

No additional employee benefits were granted in the contract and the maximum salaries for the public health and plumbing inspectors will be ef- fective after five "years rather than four as in the previous contract. The debate was sparked by executive committee chairman Robin Lawrie who argued that the executive committee had jurisdictional rights over the plumbing inspectors. Members argued that is simply a matter of semantics and that if a plumbing inspector does any sanitary in- spection he comes under the Board of Health and must be a member of a union. After a lengthy recess to establish jurisdictional rights, a motion was passed to transfer plumbing inspection to the Board of Health and be subject to union negotiations. In other council business the executive committee recom- mended to council that a new Health and Social Services Co- ordinating Committee be formed. The committee is to study and look into matters pertaining to health social services and related services within the county. It was recommended that the committee consist of the Warden, Chairman of the Board of Health, Chairman of the Social Services Committee, President of the Huron County Childrens Aid Society,the Medical Officer of Health,theChildren's Aid Society local director, the Social Services Administrator and the County Clerk. The formation of the com- mittee was recommended by the Children's Aid Society to keep closer touch on social services in the county.

"Art is an important subject in high school, not only because it lets the students create and use their imagination in making something that is their own, it teaches the young to be more appreciative of the qualities of art so they become more in- telligent consumers," says Ruth Anne, "The students that exhibited in this years show have a lot of potential," she said. "It's something they'll stick at after high school. I believe some of them will be big names some day," The show received many favorable Comments and a number of pottery pieces and some art work has been sold, Next year Ruth Anne and her committee plan to apply for a Canada Council Grant to help promote young artists.
