Tobermory underwater VwVPYPVN' - -'nin/ eteenth century gales. Today these historic vessels are being brought back to life by Scuba divers who come to Tobermory from all over North America. And with them they are bringing changes to the economy of the area. ' "Fathom Five Provincial Park will be for the public", ex- plains project co-ordinator Er- nie Martelle. "An interpretive ' centre with underwater viewing facilities, -displays, and related programmes will offer 'much to the land based visitor, as well as to the boating public. Diving, in- terpretive, picnicking and cam- ping facilities have been proposed for a park base at- Dunk's Point. To explore and enjoy the underwater park in all its aspects the prospective visitor should obtain mask, fins and snorkel or participate in a neighbourhood diver training and certification' course." A master plan will be available by January 1973 con- cerning the development of Fathom Five Park and an infor- mation brochure may be available for next season. The' Park is expected to be operational within two years. park talk The Toronto planning team of Strong, Moorehead and Sigsby, consultants to the Ministry of Natural Resources, is in the final stage of planning one of Ontario's most ambitious park concepts - Fathom hive Provin- cial Underwater Park at Tober- mory. Although similar parks exist elsewhere around the world this will be the first un- derwater park in fresh water. The personalized little com- munity of Tobermory, noted for its rugged -beauty and enchan- tipg,,history, provides. an ideal setting.

'The Ministry of Education will not approve new school construction until • it has been shown that the need for new ac- commodation exists` and is not available from another 'school board in the same geographic area. The announcement was made last week by Education Minister Thomas We'ils in a memoran dura to all Ontario school boards. The, 'trove is part of a two- point program to ensure that public and separate scho6l boards consult each other on a regular • basis - regarding enrolment patterns and accom=' Aodation available within their areas. Mr. Wells said it -was not his intention to have public and separate school pupils share the. same classroom because it is essential that each group retain their distinct identity. However, the Ministry is not prepared to finance new school construction - when adequate vacant accommodation is available nearby. Mr. Wells said that it is no longer accep- table forf,school boards,.too.$iiew the matter of school accom- modation in an isolated manner. It must,he said, be viewed on a broader perspective with less at- tention paid to the jurisdictional boundaries of a particular school board., Mr. Wells said the policy is aimed at avoiding waste and duplication in school facilities while at the same time ensuring that • the proper care and education ' of the children in- volved is guaranteed. The Ministry, Mr. Wells said, is prepared to withhold all ap- provals for new 'construction where there is a clear indication that planning and decision making has not been carried out the public interest and where it is clear the new construction is not necessary. Under the new policy boards must. cooperatively consider their enrolment needs, and from the cooperative planning process' estimate the number of students attending 'public and separate schools within their area. Then they must work out a plan by which their accommodation requirements can be met. Mr. Wells suggested' this could take the form of sharing of schools, the sale of schools between bbards or by new con- struction. The Minister also announced the establi,,hment of a study team to consider the problems associated 'with the sharing of schools or transferring of students from one system to another. The study team will consider the question of late transfe>< of pupils from one system -lo another. 1This, he•said, crea=tes i serious problems for the boards involved, 'because' they have planned their teaching and accommodation requirements before such transfers are made, leaving them with . too, much or too little space. Co-chairmen of the Team are Mr. J. A. Marrese, Chairman of the Metropolitan Toronto Separate School Board and Dr. R.J. Christie, Chairman of the York Board of Education. They have been asked to complete their report by the end of January. Arena problems caused by Irick of hot water Arena Manager Bill Lumby submitted his • report to the Thursday • evening. meeting of Goderich Recreation Board 'last week and the body took action on the' water r heating problems Mr. Lumby has been facing at the local rink. In the written report Mr. Lumby pointed out that "Weare having hot water jacket heater trouble." The arena committee reported that the trouble was reaching a very serious point as the hot water heaters were corroded with lime and too far gone to repair. • The matter was referred to a -.special-committee-- :made ups -of Mayor Harry Worsell, Recreation Director Mike Dymond and the Arena Manager with power.to act. Mr. Lumby had pointed out that the heater-wa's not heating water fast enough to flood the ice. I. • Replacement of the present heater with a larger new unit is expected to cost around $400 plus installation costs. Mr. Lumby indicated that it was his hope the arena staff could do much of the installation and , t save the town money in that way. In other, matters the Arena Manager reported that the Goderich Minor Hockey Association, Goderich Figure Skating Club and Central Huron Hockey League and In- termediate Hockey Club are well into their season program and that "so far everything, seems -to -Jae --going "At the present time," he ex- plained, "I am trying to get the stage, P.A..system and steel gate at the West entrance completed in case the closing of Har- bourlight Inn at the years end will mean more business for the Arena. kl• Vale to Elect FRANK WALKQASM COUNc 1LLOR For transportatk n to the polls phone 5244831 1 Y FOR THE -FINEST 1 R I!
