Remembrance Day Holiday
On Remembrance Day, the
students of Howick (as well as
other schools) had the day off to
do whatever we wanted. Many
went to the cenotaph, and many
stayed home. As I was walking in
Listowel, I noticed many stores
and homes with a cute slogan on
their window. It read;
"If You Can't Remember,
Think!!"

Lower cost housing is one of
our greatest needs.
This is what Ontario is doing
to help provide it.
Ontario today has more houses and more
new housing programs than ever before.
We are, unquestionably, among the best
housed people in the world.
But the cost of housing, for both owners
and renters, has increased sharply in recent
years.
With this in mind the Ontario Government
has developed many programs to ease cost
pressures and help make more housing
available. Four such programs are:
1. Ontario. Home Renewal Program (OHRP)
offers grants and loans for home improve-
ment through local municipalities to low
and moderate income homeowners. It is
particularly directed to the rehabilitation of
sub-standard dwellings, with emphasis on
faulty structural and sanitary conditions,
and the up-grading of plumbing, heating
and electrical systems.
2. Community-Sponsored Housing Program
supports the development of reasonably
priced housing through non-profit housing
corporations operated by groups or munic-
ipalities. Grants to these groups—which
may include labour unions, churches, wel-
fare agencies, educational and charitable
institutions, and service clubs—cover up to
10% of the value of a housing project. In
return, the group makes available up to 25%
of the project units for Ontario Housing
Corporation's rent supplement program.
3. OHC'S Assisted Rental Housing for Fam-
ilies and Senior Citizens provides accom-
modation for the elderly and for families,
on the basis of rents-geared-to-income.
Its purpose is to subsidize rental payments
for people 60 years of age and older and
for low-income families.
4. Home Ownership Made Easy (H.O.M.E.)
Plan brings home ownership within the
reach of many moderate-income earners.
Houses are built on serviced lots which are
then leased by Ontario Housing Corporation
to new homeowners who have the option of
buying the land after five years. This com-
bination makes lower-than-normal down
payments possible.

Mr. Cober's art elective group
has been hooking rugs. They
hope to start bottle cutting soon.
In the near future they hope to be
working on resin casting. I think if
you were in this elective you
would enjoy it very much.

Library Opening for the Parents
Miss McKinnon is giving the
parents and their friends a
worthwhile opportunity to use the
Library's reference materials and
fiction once a week if the response
indicates enough interest. In our
last Gazette, forms were sent out
to be filled and sent back to school
for the results. The bo'oks may be
given out on a two week basis
though they have not decided the
limits of books to be taken out.
We hope that the parents will
take advantage of Miss
McKinnon's trouble and effort to
assist in making this project
possible.

Royal Ontario Museummobile
On November 6, the Royal
Otitario Museumobile c. ame to
HoWlek Central. The classes were
split into two groups. One group
went out in the bus and the other
group watched a film on the
digging up of an old Indian village
and saw the many relics in the
campsite which were dug up and
examined carefully. In the bus the
two groups were divided into four
smaller groups to look at the four
different time periods. In the bus
the copper, clay, flint, and brass
tools and artifacts astounded the
eager lookers when they were told
that they were all tediously hand
made. Many other exciting and
real relics made the time spent
with each class a very enjoyable
and worthwhile experience.
