Leave them laughing—this is' always a good way to finish one, "Here We.Come Gathering,:" a farce presented by the Kitchener= Waterloo Little Theatre, will really 'round it out. For a nice change , of pace G.L.T. decided to invite this fine group with their terrific play in' which a strange assortment ' of characters occupy a vacant house—and you've always - wondered what goes on after that. Well; you're going 'to find out and you'll come away from the play with enough giggles to last you for weeks. • Life is so doggoneti irritating, -aggravati-ng,-a:nd----corrrplrcated,. that any giggle you can carry home for a re -run; later is always worthwhile. . Last weekend, seeing the fields of blackened corn and other crops,'dort of made you wonder what it is all abou, I have. told the southerners (every- chance I , get) about a picture'I took of a snowfall on the 4 - nineteenth of May one year— ' many years ago --and sometimes I had to produce the photo to prove ,it --but a June the tenth freezer-up ridiculous. •.

Ten -.years from now, we (I hope:) will refer to this paper and Rruld Paulson •:' P!R! • ion� i$�e. rat�s with A new move seems to be afoot within the educational system of Huron County toward a closer - .working relationship between th teacher's and principals of the yarious schools and ,the' Board itself. Considerable progress in this direction was indicated recently with the appointment of a special comrnittee consisting of school staff and board representatives to resolve certain problems, or at least make recommendations toward the best solution. A committee consisting of Don •Kenwell; Huron Board of. ' ' Education Superintendent of P ar Ewi ns Operations, • Secondary school .principals JQe Wooden of Exeter, ' Gord Phillips of Wingham and Bob wh eelsma n • Homuth of Clinton and elementary school principals John Kane of Goderich, Don O'Brien of Zurich and Bill Black of Colborne Central will consider the problem of "Redundancy vs transfer" and make recommendations to the board. 'At a recent . meeting of the Secondary School principals.,Q4he whole question of redundant teaching positions caused by declining enrolments and° or decline in student demand for particular subjects as a result of the Credit System. The situation was apparently broughtinto focus • by a discussion of an article in the June issue of 'Ontario „Education" published by the Ontario Public School Trustees Association. The appointment of the committee was an outcome of these discussions. ' `•As a result of the discussion," Director- of Education D. John Cochrane said in his monthly memo, "I have ' dv �Commitf Composed of six -prin'cipa�ls (elementary and secondary) and from Goderich A Goderich man, Ronald Pennington, 55 Hamilton .Street, was the wheelsman on watch June 5 aboard the Parker Evans when she collided witty the Sidnev E Smith Jr. in the St. Clair River.

The program has a primary aim of ensuring '.the _ maximum utilization of Ontario's share of the industrial milk market. To achieve this, loans will be made available from the local branches of chartered baulks to industrial milk producers wishing to purchase Market Sharing Quota.

The committee's report will be discussed at meetings of :principals-andat staff meefing-s in - the hope . - that criteria - and procedures acceptable to the majority of teachers in the County can be presented to the Board for adoption as policy,'„'°he noted. Another interesting move tov�ardthis method of form•ulating- board policy was announced in the same monthly.memo. "During the past.. academie year, the Board had a' very a -chive ad hoc committee composed of teachers, Administration Liaison trustees and adinintstratton' charged with the planning of a series of afternoon presentations to the Board on a number of facets 'of education in Huron County,'° Mr Cochrane notes. As a result of a subcommittee presentation on communication an administrative council was formed. The chief role, of this council was two -fold, to act as a liaison link between the teacher in the classroom and the board administration and to act as an expediter'of information. In retrospect it was felt the two committees had overlappino. roles and so,' on the recommendation of -the Planning Committee ano concurrence of the administrative council, the two groups have been arnalc'am_ted to form 'the ' ' Teacher -Trustee - Students find jobs scarce 1n Goderich • • Committee. , Operational guidelines for the T -T -A >'.iaisdn Committee have been recommended as follows. To discuss, formulate requests and propose solutions on matters of educational concern, to interpret Board policy to staffs, To draw potential problems to the attention of the Board to rec.oqmmend solutions,,,to establish subcommittees when it sees fit or when regeested'to do so by the Board, to serve as a sounding board for the ,Board in establishing policy, to screen discuss, evaluate and recommend -solutions on contentious issues referred tp it by the Board, teachers or administration and to evaluate the recommendations of • the 1971-72 subcommittees and establish a level of priorities of these recommendations. • Officials at the Canada Manpower offices in Goderich say that the possibility, for employment` of students this summer is good although hardly bright. , A spokesman for the office said on Tuesday that 40 or. more' University Students from the town had registered and were "very fortunate" ih being placed with *various large companies and - employers in the area. He cited The Dominion Road Machinery Company, Sifto Salt and . the GodericliPsychiatric Hospital as having been ^"very fair" in offering employment -10 --#h °students. .. 'Apparently the few that are still not employed for the summed months are mostly girls since there seems to be, more • employment opportunities for the males. •• The story for -lrigh • sc loot students seeking jobs,apparently is not too good however. Most of ' the ce , the, manpowerprospeofficets are said, sincepoormost of the jobs in -this area are short term, Canadian Canners at Exeter is expected to take up most • of the slack later in the year but 'it was pointed out that it is 'still -toe early for that company to be hiring to any extent. Over the summer- the employment agency usually manages to get most of those registered some employment however. This year there is little in the area of, special employment programs for -Goderich as well andthis does not help the situation any. The Militia Program, 'which often helps provide jobs, is not active 'locally "'since the closest Militia branches are located at Loridon,and Stratford. Last year . there was a' civilian, program for students at the Canadian Forces Base Petawawa but ne word has been receiVed to date regarding: possible continuance,. of this program in 1972. • in the Director's memo there was one item oi~ additional interest regarding the transfer of school administrators (principals). "Many questiohs,mostly by persons not directly . affected, have been asked regarding criteria used in determining candidates eligible for transfer," Mr. Cochrane said. ."The fallowing is taken . from the preamble .to the report to the Board on this particular topic." The :primary objective in the appointment or transfer of a school administrator in the system should be the improvement of -the educational climate in the schools, the report said. Such factors as staff leadership in the development of methods and curriculum, organization, administration and public relations should all be important considerations. staff A second objective. Mr. Cochrane explained, of the ,system should be the utilization in a number of schools, of the breadth of experience and expertise of capable principals and vice principal: a A third objective, he added, should be the professional growth - of the principal or vice principal • as a school administrator. To this • end -principals and vice principals who have displayed high qualities • • of leadership and potential should, be advanced to positions of greater , responsibility. On the other hand, principals who are not reaching their potential, or who are not displaying evidence of becoming educational leaders in the community, should be given an opportunity to do so in another school situation before any, more drastic measures are contemplated. 4.
