The Brussels Post, 1975-11-26, Page 6On Monday, November 10th,
the auditorium was full. The
Royal Canadian I Legion visited us
for our Remembrance Day
Assembly. Room 14 showed the
students from.grades 5,to 8 a film
called "Fields of Sacrifice", The
film was about the fields in which
the soldiers from World War 1 &
2. are buried. The film also
showed some trenches and
machinery from the war.The film
really expressed the feeling of
Remembrance Day because of the
flowers the children played on
sonie of the graves:Me silence
that was in the graveyard made
you think of those who gave their
lives so we could be free. Poppies
were tworn to the assembly. The
s'chool had two members from the
Army Cadets group. These boys
gave information on how to join it
you wished to become a member.
The Kindergarten to grade 4
students in the south wing had an
assembly put on by Mr. Shaw's
room.1 We were pleased to have
Rev. f K. Smith from Fordwich
come to speak at this assembly.
He stressed three important
points that we should remember
on Remembrance Day.-
•We hope the Legion and the,
students found our assemblies'
meaningful.

Skating '
At Howick Central School,
students for Physical Education
take some P.E.classes to go
skating, This provides the
students with instruction, in
skating, hockey and other ice
games. The students go skating
at the Howick Community Centre.
Howick' Central is fortunate to
get the arena on Thursdays and
Fridays: If a class gets a double
period of Gym on Thursday or
Friday they go skating and they
learn about how much fun it is to
get exercise.

Recently arrangements were made for a
'group of Indian children to attend the
public school in a northern Ontario town.
The principal of the'school in the town was
aware that Indian children sometimes had
a rough time at the hands of other students,
and to try to forestall this kind of situation,
he called in a Human Rights Commission
counsellor to talk to the other children.
The counsellor asked the children if any
of them had ever moved to a new school,
and what they thought it would feel like if
they were the strangers. In this way he
helped them understand how the Indian
children would be feeling when they
arrived, and the integration proceeded
relatively smoothly,
Community counselling is One of the
major roles of your Ontario Human Rights
Commission. We hold seminars and 68-
cussions With police in areas where there
are communication barriers between therri
and minority groups, to help relieve ten-
Sion and promote mutual understanding.
People problems can be serious
problems.
This is what Ontario is doing
to help solve them in advance.

William' DAV18 i Premier
teacher for grades 4 ;to 8 had
decided that the classes should
learn how to folk dance. Folk
dancing can be a lot of fun if you,
try hard and keep your feet out ofi
the other person's road. Most of
the students like it very well and
hope it will continue for gym
classes to come. Some dances
they are doing are the "Mountain
Stamp" and the "Heel 'and Toes
Clap, Clap". You have to keep
ylour ears open and follow the beat.

Painting
This week the painters are
here. First they started with the
Staff,Room. Now they are doing
Mr. Stretton's room. The
students from his room have
moved into the gym but when
there's an empty class room they
go to it for the period. Since the
painters were busy in the
summer, this was the only time
they could come. They will be
doing other parts of the schoOl
such as the gym. Not only will this
change the colours but will make
the rooms look nicer and they will
have a fresh smell.

Wind Stoim
On Monday, November 19th,
there was a destructive storm in
Southern Ontario. Much damage
was done; such as blown down
trees, hydro poles, barns, houses,
sheds and garages. The hydro at
. school was off, caused by this
wind storm. The storm gave us a
chance to see how bad weather
,can get, and to ,imagine the olden
times when there was no hydro.
Winds of 75 m.p.h. were recorded
at Wingham and Mount Forest
weather stations. We all hope
that we never get another storm
<like that again.
