He went on, "We have to face the fact that some of the classes will move more slowly in order to give the children tittle to pick it up," He con- tinued, "I am proud of the way our teachers have gone after the subject and the Glasses are getting it as fast as we can give it to them," The inspector, told the board that while the new math. is important, some children will never benefit, or be able to use it, but the teaching of the new methods will fortify their, understanding of normal arith- DEPENDABLE!

He talked at length of technical problems found in teaching. and in integrating the various courses to the changing times. Board member Murray Mac Lerman suggested that the child- ren will face difficulties in high school if all are not atthe same level in math. Mr. Kin.. kead agreed, but suggested that eventually there may be two math. courses, -- one for those who can handle the new concept. Board chairman William Harris said that as far as he knew the kiddies who are tak- ing the new math. are quite thrilled. Principal Stewart Beattie said that there is still an area where the new math will not help the child under- stand math study. The princi- pal also said that some parents have apparently taken the at, titude that the new math. is insurmountable and this is something that the teachers will have to overcome in the child- ren.

You may request The Mutual Life to register with the government any Mutual Life policies, except Term insurance. This will enable you, under pres- ent Income Tax regulations, to deduct the savings portion of your premium, up to 20% of your earned income.

Here's an odd traffic item from the Ontario Safety Leagues files — "In Melbourne, Austral- ia, a woman driver mistook the entrance of a mine for that of a tunnel. She emerged on foot six hours later." Dr. Gillies Continued from page one Beach, both striving for tourist trade. Someone with imagin- ation advocated a Sears -Roe- buck shopping centre for Waiki- ki, which resulted in a drastic drop in business for Downtown Honolulu. This was combatted when imagination was again used and a centre in Honolulu was supplied with products from the Far East. Business picked up again and tourists were at- tracted to both places. Further indication of imag- ination was described by Dr, Gillies in the story of an acquaintance of his who appli- ed to an agency for a position as personnel manager of a plant. When he learned acquisition of the job would cost him his first month's salary the applicant borrowed $1, 500 and set up an agency of his own. He wrote interesting ads to attract clien- tele and the business became so successful he was able to sell it for $350,000. The speaker said that edu- cation at the University of Cali- fornia is a never-ending pro- cess with a large enrollment of students taking extension cours- es, many of them successful and well-known people. The state spends a large percentage of its tax dollars in education and students are able to attend university for as little as $'70.00 per year. Dr. Gillies said that imag- ination must come into the minds of the educators as well as those being educated. The most important resource of On- tario is the minds of her young people, and this means as much to the province as those being educated. The speaker was thanked by R. S. MacRae. Two Hollywood producers, looking for talent, sat in front seats watching the star of a Las Vegas show. "I wonder who made her dress?" the first one asked. "It's hard to say," the sec- ond replied. "Probably the po- lice." .401100111.16 MRS.

BELL LINES by K. R. Witherden your telephone manager Movies Available for Wingham Clubs I'd like to remind Wing'ham church and social groups and other clubs and organizations that over 60 entertaining and educational films are available from the Bell, free of charge, for showings to your members. All are of course professionally clone—many in color—and there are bound to be several Which will have particular interest for your group. One favourite is this year's main addition to the Company's film -lending library—a fascinating 20 -minute film called "Communication." It shows how human be- ings have communicated with each other down through the ages—from the caves of pre -history through Egypt, Greece and Rome, right up to modern day Canada. The colour is beautiful, the technique avant garde, and the result is actually emotional. Incidentally, the film was Produced in Canada, especially for the Bell, and certainly shows the tremendous talent this country has for the movie -making art. A free film catalogue which describes the many films available from the Company can be had upon request. If your entertainment committee does not already have one, they need only call our Business Office at Zenith 74400 (no toll charge) and we'll have one forwarded immediately. Overseas Calls At Christmas Reservations to make overseas calls during the extre- mely busy periods of December 24th to 26th, and December 31st to January 2nd, will be taken starting Monday, Nov- ember 20th, at 9:00 a.m. Reservations can be made by ask- ing the Long Distance Operator to connect you with the Overseas Operator for the .desired country. The Overseas Operator will ,arrange the details with you. Because of the heavy volume of calls during the two peak periods mentioned, I would recommend that if at all possible your overseas calls be placed on other days (no reservations are required). Many Canadian families have soldier or airman sons in Europe and Asia, and a call at Christmas time is especially important for these boys. That Time Again!
