French in Early
Glades Would
Be. Costly, .BruCe
County Board Told
Not enough, qualified teachers,
high costs and lack of curriculum
guidelines are the problems in the
way of starting French in the early
grades, the supervisor' of French
instruction in Bruce County says.
Mr. John Snowden, French'
instruction-supervisor, spoke 'to a
meeting of the Bruce County Board
of Education of the county's French
program. ,
He said approximately $300,000
would be needed to add French .to
the curriculum in Kindergarten
through to Grade 6. Eigkteen
teachers would have to be hired,
and teaching materials would have
to be purchased.
According to Mr. Snowden,
qualified staff to teach French is
difficult to find and getting 18
French teachers would be "almost
an impossibility." He said regular
elementary teachers have neither
the specialized training teaching a
second language requires or the ,
oral' proficiency needed to do• it.
There are also no provincial
curriculum guidelines available
yet, though the ministry ' of
education has hinted they may be
coming later this year. But Mr.
Snowden said until these are fixed,
the board should not buy teaching
materials which may not conform to
the future guidelines.
"Linguistically and theoretically,
it is desirable to teach French at an
earlier age, but concrete directions
are needed before I would recom-
mend embarking on teaching it 'at
the primary level," he, said.
With trustees playing the role of 1
students, Mr. Snowden . demon-
strated the Passeport Francais
program being used in all Bruce
County secondary 'schools this
year.
The new program, which was
Intended for last week.
BY MURRAY GAUNT
Next week the Provincial Treas
urer will be making a - major
economic statement, giving some
indication of economic strategies to
be adopted by the Government
during the next twelve to sixteen
months. It has been indicated that
the 'statement will underscore the
commitment 'to spending restraint
and spell out some new initiatives.
Stimulation of business invest-
ment, extended sales tax exemp-
tions on productinn machinery,
additional incentives 'for' mineral
exploration and new housing
assistance programs are possibilit-
ies_ as part of the government
economic recovery plan.
Preliminary figures released in
written by teachers and tested in
the classroom before • it was
printed, was started in November
1974 because the old program
wasn't working, By September
1975 six of the seven secondary
schools in the county were using it
for grades 9 and 10. '
The new program is designed for
any students to be able to achieve
even if he hasn't had French in
elementary school. The emphasis
is on, basic skills, shorter lessons
and a more attractive forinat. Mr.
Snowden Said it is less frustrating
for students because it' allows ail
students to achieve.
Mr. Snowden stressed that the
program cannot do more than give
students a sound basis in French on
which to build by the time they, get
out of high school. He said it was
unrealistic to expect a school
program to make students biling-
ual.
September forecast a spending
jump of S1 billion and a deficit of
$1.3 billion,
The Minister of Transportation
and Communications,, James Snow,
announced new regulations regard-
ing classification of drivers' licenc-
es which' will become effective
February 1, 1977. All drivers will
be categorized for licensing pur-
poses, depending on the character-
istics of the vehicle driven. The
categories are as follows:, tractor
trailers, school buses, full sized
buses, mucks or combinations
weighing 10,000 lbs. or less, small
school buses, small buses or
ambulances, automobiles, small
trucks or combinations and motor-
cycles. Drivers of cars, light trucks
and motorcycles need take no
action to obtain new licences.
When present licences expire, the
new type will be issued automatic-
ally. Licensed, school bus drivers
will be required to take a defensive
driving course, if they have not
alteady done so. Drivers of heavy
commercial vehicles are expected
to provide satisfactory medical
reports every, three years to age 65,
and annually thereafter.'
Foodlands in Ontario would be
protected against unjustified devel-
opment undei a bill intioduced in
the Legislature by a P.C. back-
bencher, George McCague (Duffer-
m-Simcoe).
The bill goes much-further than
any official position of the Govern-
ment. From that point of view it is
seen as a trial balloon.
It would give every municipality
two years to survey and classify all
agritultural land and prepare plans
designating foodlands xs Class 1,
2, 3 or 4, or.for specialtytrops. The
general practice now is to use a
broad "agricultural" designation
for planning purposes.
Municipalities would have to
adopt formal planning policies to
deal with foodlands. Developers
would have to obtain local approval
before official plans could be
altered to earmark foodland for
non-agricultural purposes.
