Korea is a country where there is a mingling of the ancient and modern ways of liv- ing and working. Much of the work in the rural area is quite primitive, but in the cities there are modern offices, apartment buildings, etc. Korea has just one language, Korean, and their rate of literacy is about 90 percent. Story telling thrives in their country, and much of their poetry deals with the natural beauty of their countryside.

RC board's big thrust to assist gifted students The Huron -Perth Roman Catholic separate school board's major thrust in special education in the 1985-86 school year will be to provide an enrichment program for gifted students. The annual review and approval of the board's special education plan was done on April 8. Superintendent of education Gaeten Blanchette said there will be no increase or decrease to staff this year. "We'll maintain what we present- ly have," said Blanchette. Now, for special education in Huron Perth separate schools, there is one special education co-ordinator, 15.8 special education teaching positions, 11.8 resource withdrawal teaching contained classes, one enrichment teacher, one speech language pathologist, three teacher's aides and a part time psychologist. In its focus on the enrichment students, talent pools for each school will be made. Blanchette said the talent pools will be made up of students who score above 85 percent in two intelligence testing tests. There will be general enrichment for all students which will include Extend service The pastoral care program of South Huron Hospital has been expanded to include a 24 hour on-call program. Nine local clergy have volunteered their services to provide pastoral care whenever needed. Each clergy will be on-call for a one week time period - 24 hours each day. Situations in which pastoral care can be utilized are: when a patient dies ( in hospital, or is brought in and pro- nounced dead), when a patient's con- dition takes a turn for the worse. emergency or trauma situations where the patient and/or family needs support. Clergy -on-call are also available to minister to hospital staff needs in situations such as the ones listed above. Pastoral care at South Huron Hospital has always respected and tried to enhance the relationship bet- ween patients and their own clergy (or faith of their choice). For this reason, when pastoral care is needed and the person's own clergy is known: an attempt is made to contact that member of clergy. if the clergy is unknown or unavailable, then the clergy -on-call is contacted to minster in the situation. Meanwhile. South Huron Hospital continues to have the services of a part-time chaplain who ministers to staff and patients two days a week. 'The chaplain is also a liaison between Receives recognition A Seaforth woman has been given an honorary life membership in Town and ('ountry homemakers.

Talent pool students go one step fur- ther by being involved in such ac- tivities as option programs in creative writing, painting and astronomy. Blanchette said the "gifted" students will go on further to be in- volved in activities with a small number of other gifted students from Huron and Perth. These activities are expected to take place only twice a year and are dependent upon transportation funding from the ministry of education.
