respective agency and in
areas shared by both agen-
cies the cost will be at the
80-20 ratio which will also app-
ly to first year maintenance
costs. Survey and legal costs
will be shared equally.
Application is being made
to the Ontario Municipal
Board for the issue of deben-
tures for a 10 year term to

base; each contribute to the
pressures. It is our hope we
can uncover ways in whicl,7
the Ontario Government can
help our rural communities
survive the current recession
and flourish in any an-
ticipated recovery.
"The task force will consult
with a number of municipal
organizations, including the
Association of Municipalities
of Ontario, the Rural Section
of AMO, and Ontario Small

(Liberal -Grey), and Earl
McEwen (Liberal-

The Opposition Leader an-
nounced the task force at a re-
cent meeting of ROMA.
Peterson said it would seek
solutions to the problems of
sustaining the towns and
townships as viable economic
units by shoring up their
revenue base and maintain-
ing work forces.
Questions to be addressed:
• How can we keep skilled
labour in the small towns?
How can we make appren-
ticeship and manpower train-
ing -programs more suitable
to the smaller industrial
facility?
• How can we improve the
revenue picture for small
municipalities? How can we
reverse the erosion of
municipal government
autonomy?
• We need improved
transportation between rural
communities. How can we
develop more effective and
viable links between smaller
centres?
• We need a workable
policy on the locating of in -

Looks back on 27 years

gram and computer educa-
tion, the latter to which he
gives a great deal of credit to
Willard Long.
He admits to there being a
laxity in the music program
and says he's as disappointed
as anyone. Wooden notes that
the main problem was that no
facility was provided at the
time of any of the school
additions.
In addition to the school not
having facilities for music,
there has never been a whole
lot of interest at times when
vocal music was offered.
Part of that, particularly
for extra -curricular music, is
the fact no one on staff has the
necessary background,
talent, ability or interest to
promote it.
On the matter of parental
interest in school affairs,
Wooden says there has never
been a great amount of paren-
tal activity related to 'the
school.
He doesn't think that
parents aren't interested, just
that they think that's the job
of the school and are
prepared to let them handle
the job unless there are
problems.
Very few controversial pro-
blems have. arisen through
the years at SHDHS, but some
did stir a brief flurry of in-
terest, primarily from
minority groups.
SHDHS has never been a
physically tough school and
Wooden notes it reflects the
community which it serves.
"It's always been a pretty
pleasant school from the
standpoint of students."
He notes that South Huron
has a very homogeneous
population with no ghettos nor
any super rich segments.
He's also quick to point out
the school has always enjoyed
a very strong and dedicated
staff, with only a few
exceptions. .
Wooden's philosophy has
been to allow people to try
and experiment. "You have
to let people do the job; and
if they fail, don't run them
down."
He's also tried whenever
possible to treat students as
adults and never felt it was
the job of the school to punish
them.
What would he consider a
fitting tribute to his 28 years?
"I would like to think that
South Huron has been a dif-
ferent school than had I not
been here and at least I've
made some impact."
Has 28 years been a long
time? "No, it's gone like a
flash," he muses. "It doesn't
seem like it's been that long."
In addition to undoubtedly
succeeding in awaking an im-
pact at South Huron, Wooden
Ms also contributed to the
community, having served
eight years on council. •
He was also a Member of
the initial planning board and
with the late AI Pickard, was
instrumental in drafting the
town's first official plan and
zoning bylaws.
