The Courier will be made available to auxiliary canvassers during the membership campaign which starts next week for two weeks. (News -Record photo) Auxiliary starts canvass In a time when cut- backs are tightening the budgets, hospitals are becoming more depen- dent on the auxiliaries to assist with some of the capital equipment. To do this the auxiliary needs members, many of them. With this thought in mind the Auxiliary ,to the Clinton Public Hospital will be out' in full force next week, canvassing for new members. The canvass will take in Clinton, Bayfield, Vanastra, Holmesville and the surrounding area, for two weeks. For the price of $1 anyone can become a member of the Auxiliary. There are presently 600 names on the mem- bership list. The Auxiliary is con- stantly trying to improve and help the hospital. As well, they are always looking for more volunteers to help with this work. A major project that the Auxiliary is now undertaking is the ad- dition of a gift shop in the hospital. With the cut- back of beds, the hospital board has turned over a large room near the front entrance to the Auxiliary. Plans are in progress to install glass doors, lay flooring and place ' shelving. The shop will include a baby boutique along with other knitted articles, toiletries, stationery, etc.. AS well the Auxiliary awards two or three bursaries annually to persons in the community who are studying for a medically related career. Important hospital purchases over 1978 in- cluded: mist tent with cooler, $1,200;' Mayo instrument table, $450; a Spectrophotometer, $1,150; insulated teapots and large coffee pots, $450. The annual Penny Sale, `, the pot luck luncheon, the Hospital Day Tea and the Vanishing Card parties, are only some. of the events put on by the auxiliary to help raise money for the hospital. As well they stock a gift cart, offer magazines and books, make television sets available and help organize the Candy Striper program.

CORDON Separate Board reduces drench lesson class time BY WILMA OKE The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School board agreed Monday to reduce the teaching of oral French from 40 -minute periods to 20 -minute periods effective Sep- tember 1979. The decision was based on a recommendation by the ministry of education because, in general, the 40 -minute period was found to exceed the at- tention span of the average child in Grades 6,7 and 8. Further the ministry recommends that foreign language development ',should be on a daily basis for continuity. At the present time the board's policy now is for a 40 minute period every other day. It is felt that pupils are not as receptive to the same amount of new material over the longer period as they would in the two 20 - minute periods, and they forget it on an alternate day? basis. It has been found too that if one 40 -minute period is lost because of bad weather or a professional development day a considerable amount of teaching time is lost. Too, the itinerant French teacher does not become part of the staff in any school. As well it has been observed that discipline problems have occurred with too long a period of French and this has resulted in the classroom teacher having to remain in the room during the French class which is a serious waste o teacher time. Additional proposals on the teaching of French (oral) such as extending or not extending the program will be discussed at a future meeting when the trustees have more time to consider the program. Mrs. Edith McCarroll of the media centre in the board office and Jim McDade, resource teacher at the board office, outlined to trustees the use and value of the video tape library at the board office. They explained the charac- teristics unique to television such as in- troducing new per- spectives, as a primary source of information, as an art form and as an instructor. They explained some advantages of videotape, such as the low cost and that it is easy to set up and use. They said the tapes are durable and can be re-used,are available when needed and they pointed out a child with reading problems benefits as the tapes are non -threatening. In other business Richard Bester's request for a leave of absence from St. Patrick's School, Dublin, for one year was approved. The board accepted the resignation from Ecole Ste Marie of Lorraine Regier who is the Grades 4,5 and 6, teacher, ef- fective August 31, 1979. Mrs. Carole Ann Kerrigan of Catholic Parent Teacher -Association of St. Joseph's School, Clinton, will be notified that the ministry of education has informed the board that its capital program for 1979 has been established and no allocation has been set aside for renovations at St. Joseph's School. On April 9 Mrs. Kerrigan and two other members of her association presented a brief to the board stating additional ac- commodation was required at the school. The board has authorized its property committee to visit the school and see what can be done to improve school facilities. In addition the pard will continue to Pursue its request to the ministry for renovations at the school in the future. A motion by Michael Connelly that the ad- ministrative staff be authorized to investigate the possibility of giving parents the option of sending their kin- dergarten children to a near -by school, other than their own school, to benefit class loading problems in the system was defeated. Two trustees, Ro ald Murray and J n O'Drowsky, pointed out that the board has the authority to staff the schools, not the parents. William Eckert, Director of Education, pointed out this would open up the problem of requests for changing schools in other grades. The board approved the establishment of nine professional activity days for its teaching staff in 1979-80 school term. A request by Connelly that the number of PD days be set at a board meeting a month prior to the board meeting establishing the precise PD dates was approl, ed. It was determined that it is impossible to set the time for the professional development days to coincide with those in neighboring public school boards of Perth and Huron. Five of the nine days are designated as system -wide days and four are school days to suit the local community.
