Plan for
special
day
Elementary schools will be
closed on February 25'through-
out Huron County. The day
has been authorized as a Prof-
essional Development Day and
activities for the elementary
teachers and teachers at the
three schools for the trainable
retarded in Huron have been
planned by a joint committee
of Representatives from the
Women's and Men's Teacher
Federation.
Activities have been planned
for four centres in the county:
Seaforth Public School, Exeter
Public School, Winghatn Public
School, and Robertson Public
School in Goderich.
The morning will be spent
watching television.
In Actual fact, the planning
committee has arranged a spec-
ial videotape presentation
produced by the Ontario Educ-
ational Communications Author-
ity entitled "Critical Incidents."
Structured discussion groups
will be pursuing the correct
approach to handle minor class-
room interuptions. Also part-
icipating in these discussions
will be members of the Huron
County Board of Education and
the School Nurses from the
Huron County health Unit.
The afternoon session will
provide teachers at similar
Grade Levels with an opport-
unity to discuss methodology
and ideas for better approaches
to teaching. During the same
time period elementary Princ-
ipals will tweet in Clinton to
discuss current administrative
topics and the staff from the
T.R, Schools will meet with
Johanna Howell, a speech
pathologist from University
Hospital, London.
The Federation sponsored day
should provide many opportun-
ities for improvement as the
approximate 300 teachers be-
come students for the day.
At a farmer's meeting I
attended the fanners were asked
to fill out a questionaire stat-
ing, among other things, what
the value of their farm, equip-
ment and livestock is. Another
question asked their average
income over the last five years.
The result was rather shocking.
Eighty percent had a value of
between $100, 000 and $300, 000
invested. The income from this
investment was less than $10,
000 average for 70'70 of the
people present. If one compares
this with the $13, 000 income
per year that the postmen are
asking, one must ask oneself"
"What am I doing farming?
Why not take ajob from eight to
five that requires no investment,
andin many cases no brains,
News of Huron Hope
(by Mrs. Eleanor Scott, Princ-
ipal)
Our attendance is nearly back
to normal after having had al-
most half of our pupils away
with heavy colds and the flu.
Mrs. IvlacGregor's class has
been receiving instruction in
working with wood from a very
capable volunteer, Mr. Jack
Jesney from the Crediton and
District Social Club has been
coating to the school each Tues-
day afternoon. 1 -le helps the
students sand and paint a var-
iety of articles. Not only do
the students enjoy the wood-
working but they are fascinated
by the magic tricks with which
Mr. Jesney entertains them.
The Winter Olympics will
again be held at the University
of Western Ontario. Plans for
our participation on February
15th are underway. We expect
our students to compete in the
skating, cross-country skiing
and toboggan races.
Two nurses from the Huron
County Health Unit were in the
school January 21. They appl-
ied a special fluoride to the
teeth of the children.

and sell the bloody farm."
Well, I guess you know the
answer. We don't work for the
money alone. We like to be our
own boss. We like to make our
own decisions and where else
can one expect to do this better
than on the farm. We are nuts,
but we are, by and large, cont-
ented nuts. So be it.
A story in MaCleans Magaz-
ine bewailed the fact that so
much grain is fed to livestock.
It is largely a good article,
even if the writers fact about '
the amount of grain needed to
produce a pound of meat are
way off base.
If his figures were accurate,
not one pound of meat would
be produced, because the price
would be so high that only the
very rich could afford to buy it.
His concern about the underfed
people of the world I share.
However, before we as fanners
Mould feel guilty about produc-
ing meat, and consumers for
buying it, we should get our
priorities right.
Enormous amounts of number
one wheat, barley and corn
are used to produce gin, beer
and whiskey, while, the grain
used for livestock feeding is
lower grade and not usually usec
for food. After society cuts
out the use of alcoholic drinks
and stops eating pastry, then
I would feel guilty if there is a
shortage of grain.
If our western soceity would
life import restirctions on prod-
ucts of the poorer world and
pay thein a reasonable price for
their product, they would be
able to buy our grain at a reas-
onable price, or better still,
they could afford to irrigate
their crops and.put on enough
fertilizer, so they could grow
their own crops.
