District Teachers Met in Howick Three speakers discussed methods of teaching oral and written English in elementary schools at a teachers' conven- tion held at the Howick Cen- tral School last Friday. A total of 105 teachers from Welling- ton and Huron Inspectorate 4 and Perth Inspectorate No. 3 attended. Registration opened at 8.30 and at 9.00 a.m. the morning session was underway when they heard William McMaster, a former English instructor at Ry- erson Polytechnical Institute speak on "Language Art". He claimed it is the teacher's duty as an educator to see that child- ren are aware of the truth. He suggested that our religious heritage tells us we are engag- ed in abolishing mystery. Full linguistic talents of children should be developed, he said, as well as the full potential of the child. The teachers held a work- shop on language and the co - relation of the English program. Following dinner at the Cor- rie United Church the group re- assembled in the afternoon and broke up into groups to discuss problems related to primary, junior and intermediate levels. They heard J. D. Hanmer, superintendent of public schools for York Township and Miss Judy March, primary reading consultant for the Hamilton Board of Education, discuss a number of case histories where pupils had problems in English.

Also lost in the blaze were a num- ber of calves and the season's crop of hay and grain. Workmen had nearly com- pleted the installation of new stabling in the barn which mea- suted approximately 60 x 100 feet.

The rural fire brigade from Wingharn made the run to the scene but the fire had advanc- ed to the stage where they were helpless to save the building.

JackMcDowell, who is in charge of the Wingham de- tachment of the Ontario Pro- vincial Police were guests at the regular meeting of the Lions Club on Tuesday evening. The (topic under discussion was the alarming increase in the num- ber of accidents in this area and in the town itself. The po- lice officers quoted statistics to bear out the discussion and Lion Bill Conron presented the find- ings of various surveys under- taken to determine the causes of accidents and the way in which they affect car insurance rates. Lack of judgment on the part of the driver and failure to obey traffic signs and signals were cited as the predominant factors. Ways and means of re- ducing the accident incidence were discussed and it was stat- ed that surveys indicate the need for more extensive driver training in our schools.
