personal one as he is very interested in politics. Barry
icts a landslide victory for P.C. candidate Don South-
(.
Barry Tranquada of 275 Christina Court, is a Grade 6
udent at Victoria Public School who is probably one of
e youngest but most dedicated supporters of the
ogressive Ctrnvervative Government led by Hon.
illiam Davis.
Barry is very interested in politics and hopes to make a
reer of it when he gets older. He is very knowledgeable
out the history of the P.C. party and current Political
oceedings.
in his opinion, Bill Davis has been the best Premier the
Quince has evee had. Barry also feels that the "27 years
Conservative rule has been good for the province."
His prediction for today's hy-election is a landslide vic-
ry for PC Candidate Don Southcott.
There certainly is no love lost between young Barry
nd the Liberals as he is very incensed at the way they
constantly rack up the Conservatives."
As for N.D.P. representative Paul Carroll, "he is a very
ice guy „

A rumor last week that
Huron County teachers would.
boycott a meeting with
Education Minister Thomas
Wells in Goderich last Friday
afternoon may or may not have
been borne out, depending
upon which side of the political
fence . one is sitting.
Although the 'meeting was
billed "non-political", rumors
were that many, many of the
700 teachers in the Huron
County Board of Education's
employ read political overtones
into the `gathering and planned
to stay -awiiy. .. -
Education Minister Wells
was in the Riding in support of
Progressive Conservative Can-
didate Don Southcott and said
he simply took the opportunity
for a "face to face dialogue"
with ..the teachers.
Actual attendance was very
low. About 65 persons drank
coffee and ate doughnuts before
entering into a question and
answer discussion with the'
Minister.
In the assembly were nine
mernhers of the Huron County
Board .of Education as well as
six members of the ad-
ministrative staff; 15 principals
and vice -principals; several
wives of teachers and some
guests; a group of represen-
tatives from. St. ° Mary's
Separate School; and about 30
to 35 teachers with the Huron
Board of Education.
By-election candidate South-
cott arrived at the meeting
early but left shortly afterward.
The only other candidate
present was Jack Riddell who
is a member of the Huron
County Board of Education.
Howevel, Riddell did not
arrive until the meeting was
,almost over.
Paul Carroll, NDP candidate
and a teacher with the Huron
Board of Education, did not at-
tend. Neither did Ed Bain,
Socialist candidate.
The small numbers at the
meeting were -attributed to "thee
awkward hour" (the, dinner
hour on a Friday evening) by
Joe Wooden, principal at South
*Huron District High School,
Exeter, who introduced the
Minister of"Education.

..The meeting itself consisted
of "shop talk" for teachers and
board members.
One of the major concerns
was for the new regulation
which provides "nTre
flexibility in the school year".
According' to Wells, this gives
school boards the privilege to
"move • winter break as the.
wish" and admitted that while
it. -wasn't certa just what af-
fect it would have, it was
something which is v.believed
necessary.
'The Minister disagreed that
the fact that students entering
teachers' college needed a
university degree would 'in-
crease costs to school board
because better ° qualified
teachers could demand better`
salaries. 'He said now more
than 60 to 70 percent id
students in teachers' colleges
hold a university degree and
"most elementary people have
it anyway".
,He said he could foresee "no
attempt to discriminate against
experienced teachers without
degrees".
Ausuggestion tat schools in
urban • areas like Toronto are
receiving bigger grants was
never really handled by the
Ministers He said he'd been
trying to get an increase in his
salary, too, but had found no
one with whom to negotiate.

combined on the handle of a
silver shovel to officially turn
the first sod on a building
project undertaken by DRMCo

About 25 people involved in
the project, representing 'mem-
bers of Town Council, the local
planning board, Dominion
Roads executive and the ar-
chitects, braved rnud, rain and,

ning. A brand new DRMCo

and a tow truck to free it.

plant is expected to employ
about 25_persons at the- outset
and construction on the -project -

two months
DRMCo received an Ontario

of $525,000 last January to
help with, the project.
The new gear plant. 'is the
first stage -of a $1.6 million ex-
pansion program and according
to the company -will he the most
modern of its kind in North
America. It will manufacture
gearing and power trains for
the parent company which em-
ploys more than 600 persons in
Goderich.
The company also hopes that
in the near future the plant will
design and manufacture gear
and transmissions for other
markets 115 well. Although the'
new plant will be staffed with
personnel from the parent com-
pany at the outsit it is to be a
separate unit operating with
autonomy from the parent com-
pang.
The new DR,MCo plant is
located on a• 15 acre section of
the Goderich Industrial Park
which was purchased from the
town at about $1,000 per acre.
The company also holds -op-
tions on another 22 acres at the
park for future expansion.
Bruce Sully, president of the Dominion Road Machinery Company, and Goderich Mayor
Harry Worsell share the load as they turn the first sod for DRMCO's new 15,000 square foot
gear plant at the Goderich Industrial Park. The $1.6 million project will be in part financed
by a $525,000 Ontario Development Corporation loan received last January (staff photo)

Educatibn is concerned about
keeping the content as
'Canadian as possible and he
said the ratio of Canadian
teachers at the university level;

90 percent 'of the text hooks are
Canadian as well.
