Public school teachers
lead anti-drug initiatives
“The Ontario Public School
Teachers’ Federation (OPSTF) sup
ports the drug education initiatives
announced November 20,’’ said
Bill Martin, the organization’s
President.
“I’m pleased to note that teach
ers will not be expected to ‘Go it
alone’ in the field of drug educa
tion,” said Martin. “Mr. Black’s
emphasis on involving whole com
munities in the campaign recog
nizes that schools and teachers
cannot solve all society’s problems
by themselves,” he added. “The
key to the programme’s success in
schools will be the development of
effective in-service training pro
grammes for teachers. Support for
such programmes will have to be
very evident from the constituent
groups in every board of educa
tion.”
“Federation members believe in
encouraging students to develop
healthy attitudes toward life.
Teaching children effective deci
sion-making skills will help them to
resist peer pressure and to make
the intelligent choice not to use
drugs,” Martin said.
The OPSTF Annual Meeting
voted overwhelming in favour of a
motion to establish a Drug Educa
tion Task Force, which will report
in the Spring of 1990. The Assem
bly also proposed that information
on drug education be delivered
directly to the membership through
its own professional publication.
“Teachers have supported the
concept of a partnership between
home, school and community to
assist students’ academic and so
cial progress. Drug education fits
into this scenario and teachers
accept a leadership role in this
area,” Martin concluded.
The Ontario Public School Teach
ers’ Federation represents 23,000
elementary public school teachers
and is an affiliate of the Ontario
Teachers’ Federation.

A small piece of history was
returned to Brussels last week.
George Cousins’ brother-in-law,
Lou Metzger, who works for
Ontario Hydro in Barrie, was at the
site of an accident in Barrie
replacing a broken hydro pole.
While digging, he spied something
shiny, so stopped to investigate.
What he discovered was a milk
bottle from Cousins Creamery,
which George estimates to be about
40 years old.
“It is scratched just slightly
where the “U” is, but other than
that it’s not broken or chipped,”
George said.
Also, when the framework from
the door leading to the new
addition was torn off the door at
Brussels Public School a week ago
Tuesday, some further memora
bilia was unearthed.
George, who is caretaker at the
school, explained that when the
workmen pulled the frame away,
‘Fat Lady’ pantomime
entertains Friendship Club
The December meeting of the
Brussels Friendship Club took the
form of a Christmas party when 33
members and guests enjoyed a
bountiful beef dinner at 12:30 p.m.
Margery Ritchie very aptly thanked
the catering committee of the
Canadian Legion.
New president Gerald Exel read
of Christ’s nativity from Luke,
chapter 2, when love was brought
down to earth that night so long
ago by a child in a manger and
lingers on and glows again in the
hearts of all mankind.
A short entertainment period
followed with readings and carol
singing. A pantomine entitled “Fat
Henschel trial

calf sale on Thanksgiving Day and
a number of large western produ

shipments to Brussels Stockyards
that ended up being sold in other
southern Ontario yards instead.
Quick action by authorities stop

account of Swiss Bank Corporation

The couple was located in
Germany and returned to Canada
last December where they were
charged and released on $5,000
bond.
