I'lw French programs were basically oral in the late '60s and early '70s," ex- plained Rita Lauwaert, chairperson of a three-mem- ber delegation., • "In the- fate, '70s and, now the '80s, it is a " four -skill approach hearing, speaking; reading and writing." In addition, because. the HPRCSS has extended French instruction -to include Grades 4 through 8 (it was previously offered from Grade 6 to 8), the language program was reviewed. The committee selected a curriculum using the text Vive Le Francais, Mrs. Lau- waert told the :board, "be- cause it Met- most of our needs." Besides Mrs. Lauwaert, a teacher at St. Joseph's. and' Immaculate Conception in Stratford, other members of the delegation were Gaetan Blanchette, principal of St. Boniface in Zurich and Justin Tomasulo of St. Aloy- sius in Stratford. The delegation spokesper- son, explaining the aims of the ministry guidelines, said "they want communicators, not bilingual students". Complete bilingualism, she added, would require about 5,000 hours of classroom training. -The new program, noted the delegation, •jncluldes not 004 as �t' ge hisbiib of but enc ages an undll- standing, of 'othier euitu and a positive attitude ward learning another language.'

A previous survey in 1976 showed a marginal demand, but not sufficient for the Housing Ministry to act, he reported. However: he added that some senior citizens' groups feel if more in- formation about the nature of the survey had been provided at the time, the results could have been different: This is why council has decided to repeat the study. --Mr. Ball noted that some of the questions in such a survey deal with matters such as personal income or savings, which people are reluctant to answer unless they understand why the question is being asked.

Councillor, resigns • Jim Hunter has announced his resignation from the East Wawanosh Township Council. ' Mr. Hunter, who was in his first term as a councillor, said Tuesday the decision to quit was prompted by frustration and unnecessary pressure from within the council. He declined to go into further detail, explaining he didn't want to stir, up trouble, but said the situation which existed on the council was keeping him from doing a proper job and he felt it was' better to leave. He said he thought the matter over for a week before handing in his resignation Monday mor- ning. It is not yet clear how . council will fill the vacancy. Clerk -Treasurer Winona Thoippson could not be reached Tuesday morning, but Road Superintendent Ralph Campbell, a former councillor, said council planned' to meet Wednesday to deal with the matter. He said Mrs. Thompson had been in contact with ministry officials and learned there are several avenues available.
