Mother, if you have only one

you arrange for a few nights out

DANGER OVER -
Unless we have a really hor-
rendous rain the danger of floods
along the Maitland is over for this
year. Water was pretty high
about 10 days ago but no damage
was done. One lady called to tell
us that the really, big flood was
not in 1947 as the AT had stated-
* but in 1948. She was sure because
it was the year she was waiting
.for the arrival of one of her off-
spring. Fact of the matter-'
water was dangerously high in
• both those years.
DON'T STORE THE
WOOLIES!-
About this time of year every-
body gets the itch to start spring
• activities -like golf and boating
and gardening.' That's fine -but
keep the warm jacket handy. The
first of June is usually a fair time
to start counting on warm weath-
er.

sidered for the presentation of 4;,

Days, July 6, 7„and 8, bringing
be-
fore the public some of the con-
testants from the Talent Hunt,
series.
A motion by Mrs. Bennett, sec-
onded by George Carter, that
neither tender be accepted was
supported unanimously. It was
suggested there Might be two al-
ternatives, the one being that a
portion of the work be done now
and the balance' at a later date,
the other that a revision in plans
be made as a means of reducing
the required expenditure.
While no definite decision was
i reached Wednesday night, it is
quite probable that some discus-
sion will be held with the contrac-
tors to try and determine where
costs might be reduced.
t Mr. Willis opened up another
line of discussion when he asked
what was being done about the
bylaw passed some months ago
regarding the control of dogs.
To Hire Dogcatcher
Mixed feelings signalled the
close of the present series of Tal-
ent Hunt shows Thursday night,
the audience delighted .with the
quality of the final show and ob-
viously sorry it was ended.
The program presented four
winners from each of the three
previous shows and having
recognized the quality of these
shows, technicians from CKNX
were on hand to tape Thursday's
event for a future broadcast.
Winners of first prize of -$50
were The GoOd Intentions, a sing-
ing group from Teeswater; Deb-
bie Lou Creighton of Clifford re-
ceived $25 and Linda Wilson,
Brussels, placed third to win $15.
The Good Intentions and Miss
Wilson were winners in the Janu-
ary show and Miss Creighton was
one of the four chosen from the.
March presentation.
Others participating Thursday
night were Carol Wheeler,' 10 -
year -old dancer from Brussels
and Paul Orescati and Dave
Demerling, accordionists from

All present were of the opinion
that the real answer to this was in
having a dog catcher and Mayor
Miller was requested to make in-
quiries about a man to assume
this duty.
.4 Mr. Willis was supported by
most when he suggested that a
dog catcher operating in town on
an unscheduled basis would
prove to be a real deterrent to
people who tend to allow their
dogs to roam. He maintained that
if people did not know exactly
when a dog catcher might be ac
tive, dogs would be tied by own-

Careless, handling of guns and

have called for investigation by
the Wifigham detachment 'of the
provincial police.
An OPP spOkesman said Mon-

cidents may be seasonal, due in
part to enthusiasm -of persons
anxious to practise shooting. He
stressed that more care in
handling guns should be exer-
cised.

gh school credit system explained
There was a disappointing at-
tendance at the meeting of the
Wingham Home and School Asso-
ciation Monday night when Jack
Kopas,. guidance. counsellor, F.
E. Madill Secondary School, pre-
sented, details of the credit sys-
tem which goes into effect' at
Huron County high schools next
SepteMber.
Only 27 parents were present
when Mr. Kopas outlined the sys-
tern of credits, saying that 27
credits would berequired to gain
a graduating 'diploma with six
additional necessary for the
honor diploma.
Under the system adopted, a
student would be required , to
choose .subjects from four areas
of study : Communicati8ns, So-
cial and Environment, Pure and
Applied Sciences and Arts, to
make up seven credits for each of
the first three 'years in high
school and six in the fourth year.
Mr. Kopas explained that this
would be the minimum program
and that while students would
have a freedom of choice, one
period of each day. must be devot-
ed to the subjects chosen.
Under the credit system there
would be no compulsory subjects
and students' would select their
own program of studies to meet
their own needs and interests and
from this selection an individual
timetable would be made up.
During a question and answer
period, several directed ques-
tions and comments concerning
the impact on the student of hav-
ing freedom of choice, how teach-
ers, might be affected, to what ex-
tent a student might be guided in
Making his selection of studies
and if this freedom' would result
in students seeking the "easy
way", thereby actually finishing
school with knowledge and train-
ing inferior to the standards im-
posed Under the old , system pf
desfghating the, curriculum.
While a few felt students gener-
ally would benefit from Making
their own selection of study sub-
jects, the majority of 'those ex-
pressing opinions thought the
credit system would eventually
result in a lower standard ofedu-.
cation, which in turn would be re-
flected by lower entrance re-
quirements for college and. uni-
versity.
Mr. Kopas was introduced by
Mrs. Bruce MacDonald, associa-
tion president, and thanked by
Mrs. Vernon Reid. .,
It was announced that the next
meeting will be held Monday,
May 29 in place of the regular
monthly date which is the holi:
