by SHIRLEY J. KELLER
From reports heard by mem-
bers of Huron Council at their
session Friday, it seems that
the provincial government is
giving John van Castels new
project at former CFI3 Clinton
priority treatment - and mem-
bers of Huron council were
urged to do the same,
Planning Director for Huron,
Gary Davidson, said that
"some kind of a record" was
made recently in the speed
with which certain matters
pertaining to former CPB
Clinton cleared government
offices and Harold Lobb, Reeve
of Clinton, said that if the
Huron project was getting that
kind of "government support"
Huron should "pull all the
stops" to see that van Castel
gets his enterprize underway as
soon as possible.
A report by Davidson had
this to say:

"SERVING BLYTH AND: COMMUNITY SINCE 1885"
Rick Snell of Londesboro (centre) was winner of the boy's division of the Blyth - Lions
Club's effectivespeaking contest. Here he receives a cheque from George Watt, -chair-
man of the contest. Gary Hesselwood (left) of Blyth placed second.

Land division
committee
altered
The Land Division Comm-
ittee budget will require some
juggling now that members of
Huron County Council has app-
roved their proposed operation
for 1972 but has cut its revenue
by about $6,000.
The orginal budget called for
spending of $30,000 and was
based on handling 600 applic-
ations at a cost of $50 each.
However, county council
amended the budget to provide
for fees of $40 each as prev-
iously set when the Land Div-
ision Committee went into
action.
The committee expressed its
concern at the amount of work
that is involved with each app-
lication and more particularly,
that it is taking a considerable
amount of time to complete
applications in connection with
the consents.
Extra meetings have been
held and the committee intends
to pursue the problem further
to try to improve the flow of
wank.
Reeve Elgin Thompson,
Tuckersmith, said that he
could understand the $50 fee
providing the severence was
approved.
Reeve Ed Oddliefson, Bay-
field, said that all applications
required considerable work
whether they were approved or
not. He said that if the app-
lications were rejected by the
committee, the land owner had
other alternatives - appeal to
the Minister or to the Ontario
Municipal Board. •
However, the majority of
councillors agreed that the fee
should not be increased from
$40 to $5O - and an amend-
ment to the report was app-
roved.

Music not
popular as
school subject
Although there was no formal
report concerning Professor
Dawson Woodburn's request that
music courses be begun in the
schools of Huron County, there
was some informal discussion con-
cerning the matter during the dis-
cussion of curriculum development.
At that time it was pointed outby to see that an amendment to
Principal Joe Wooden, South Huron 'the County Draft Official Plan
"The developer (van Castel)
is in the process of attracting
various industries and residents.
However, until final approval
of a registered plan of subdiv-
ision is given, legal title can-
not be obtained. It is under-
standable that prospective in-
dustries and residents do not
want to invest capital with no
guarantee of ownership of their
lands.
"The developer, therefore,
requires some assurance that,
from the Planning Board's view-
point, the development will
proceed. Such assurance,' in
the form of legal draft app-
roval, while not authorizing
' the sale of individual lots, will
constitute a binding commit-
ment and to some extent, out-
line what must be undertaken
prior to final approval of the
subdivision, From discussions
with the developer's planning
consultants (Kleinfelt and Ass-
ociates) it would appear that
draft approval, even though
containing rather open-ended
conditions, would be of great
assistance., . It would, of course,
:emo've the possibility that the
subdivision would be turned
down on a matter of principle.
There are six conditions by
which county approval in prin-
ciple will be given to the
draft plan for former CFB
Clinton by van Castel.
It will be the responsibility
of the county planning board
District High School, that only six
people had indicated an interest in
music although it was offered on a
sheet listing the possible courses of,
study for the coming year. Wooder
said three Grade 8 students and th-
ree students presently enrolled at
SHDHS had indicated their desire
to be taught music at the secondary
school level. •
Wooden also told the board that
had music become a subject in
South Huron for September, it
would have entailed a complete
reshuffling of classes - if not a
building program - to accommo-
date it.
"I don't know where we would
have taught a music course at
South Huron, IP Huron, "mused Wooden.
He also explained that courses
like music which required special
teaching skills and equipment
were very expensive in aparsely
populated areas like Huron
because of the usually small num-
bers of children benefitting from
the course.
be carried out and duly approv-
ed. Such an amendment would
take the .form of : a Secondary
Plan. for the Base and its surr-
ounding "area of impact", and
'that a staging program be dev-
eloped
eveloped for the area encompassed
by the. plan of subdivision.
It will be the 'responsibility
of Stanley and Tuckersmith
Townships to see that a restrict-
ed area (zoning) bylaw be duly
adopted for the Base and its
surrounding "area of impact";
that the municipal services
be brought up to the munici-
pality's standards and dedic-
ated to the municipality; that
an occupancy bylaw. be duly
adopted for the industrial
sector of the development!
and that a "Developer's Agree-
ment" be enacted and signed
between Rodoma Investments
and Development Limited and
the Municipality of Tuckersmith.
These six conditions were
called "standard" by Davidson.
John Henderson worried
about morality of school texts
The establislunent of educatio-
nal goals for the Huron County
Board of Education - Particular-
ly one word of the first of eight
aims - was discussed in detail
by trustees and members of the
administrative staff last week
in Clinton.
The one word was "morale and
recommendation was as follows:
"In an effort to give direction
and purpose to the educational
system of the County, the Huron
County Board of Education feels
that all policies and decision
should be made within the
framework of the following
education guidelines:
a, - The development, with-
in limits of resources available
and laws of the Province, of ea -
ch boy and girl to his emotional,
social, moral and physical grow-
th regardless of mental and phy-
sical capabilities."
It was John Henderson of McK-
illop who questioned what the
board meant by Moral and phy-
sical growth. He was told that
the Huron County Board of Ed-
ucation would do everything in
its power to see that the moral
and physical growth of its stud-
ents was of the highest order.
Henderson then produced a
copy of a play which, he said,
his son was studying. Hender-
son related that his son was re-
quired to stand up in class and
read a portion of the play which
contained some obscene
language. He said his son hes-
itated and had to be asked
twice to read the exerpt.
"Is that promoting moral
growth?" asked Henderson.
Mrs. Marion Zinn, Ashfield,
chairman of the education comm-
ittee which introduced the educ-
ational goals to the board, said
that lengthy discussion had been
heard in committee on the matter.
She said that it had finally been
agreed - unanimously - that the
word "moral" should be included.
"These are our new goals,"
continued Mrs. Zinn, "and we
are going to strive - and I mean
strive - to see that they are
met whenever possible."
John Broadfoot, vice-chairman
of the board, said the time had
come for the Huron County Boa-
rd of Education to "stand up and
be counted", and to find out how
many educators there are in the
county who will "stand up and
be counted with us".
"If we're not prepared to look
at morals than I think we have
abdicated all responsibility as
trustees because morals are the
very fibre of a student's educat-
ion," continued Broadfoot. He
said the board must develop some
concrete policies on which to
stand and not just "talk loosely
about morals".
"You can't legislate morals,"
pointed out John Cochrane, direct -

A mar Step forward
Time will tell for sure, but Blyth may have taken a giant
step toward a better future last week,
The decision of the Blyth Board of Trade to actively seek
wider participation from businessmen, professional people and
industrialists in the organization may be the beginning of the
birth of a strong voice for the business community in Blyth.
If the organization is successful in recruiting the aid of all
business personnel in the organization, the business community,
the people who have the most to gain financially by a better
Blyth, will have a greater say in the future of the village.
They will be able to help village council formulate policies
to promote business in the village,
Hopefully, the Board of Trade will not stop there. Hope-
fully it will be a voice which will call for steps which will
improve life in the village for all residents, not just business-
men, Hopefully, too, it will become an organization which
will foster better business practices and methods among all
businesses in the village. If businessmen become better busi-
nessmen, the whole economy of the village will prosper.
In the past organizations such as Chambers of Commerce
and Boards of Trade have been strong sources of promotion
fa their towns. Perhaps a strengthened Board of Trade would
also become a voice for Blyth, telling outsiders what a good
place to live and work we have here,
The opportunities for a reorganized Board of Trade are en-
ormous, What happens to these opportunities will depend on
how willing the businessmen are to pitch in and help.
Home ROM ioilostri
There was an interesting article in the Canadian Magazine
last weekend on the McCain family industry in New Brunswick,
The family business began in the small town of Florencevil]e
and through its promotion and sale of frozen foods, soon ex-
panded to a company doing $60 million in business around
the world.
Yet despite the fact the company is one of the largest in
Canada, it still keeps its headquarters in Florenceville,
This is a good example of the good things that can happen
in our country if we encourage development of our own in-
dustries rather than importing- new companies.
Blyth is in an almost unique position among towns in our
area, What other town is there where all major industries
and businesses are owned and run by local people?
Today, when most towns approach the problems of creating
more jobs in their community, they look to companies from
outside their area and often outside the country. In the short
term, this works fine, with the new company coming in,
setting up shop and providing the jobs required, But about the
long run?
The major draw back to firms controlled elsewhere is that
a town can never be certain they will be there for long. For
instance, the only major business to close in Blyth inrecent
years (the cheese factory) was not locally owned, In Goderich
there is the example of the Sheaffer Pen Company now on
strike, where the orders are not made by the local managers
but by bosses in Wisconsin. As the strike continues, it becomes
more and more certain the factory will, never again open and
the jobs will be lost,
A town can be much more confident of its future, however,
if its industry is homegrown. Blyth residents can be reasonably
certain that none of the major employers here is suddenly
going to pack up shop and move somewhere else because the
principals in the businesses are long-time residents of the area,
The trouble with homegrown industry, however, that it is
difficult for m
many communities to grow on it. While most
people do not want to see Blyth grow to a city or even a
large town, they would like to see the village have more
people so it could provide more services to shoppers and
residents.
To do this, more jobs are needed, The best was is to have
an expansion of local businesses and the starting of some new,
locally managed and financed businesses. The money is here
for such growth, The trick is to encourage people to invest
in their own future. That will be the challenge in the next
few years.

Letter
to the editor
Dear Sir; -
Having read of the inconvenie-
nce that the Hesselwoods were
subjected to in the cleaning of
the hall, I hadto write and say
what I'thought on the issue,
I wonder if, owing to the fact
that the brewers and distillers
are so generous in contributing
to the promotion of sports, if
they were contacted, would they
be willing to pay for the damag-
es? The use of their product
could be held responsible for the
behaviour of its users, When you
mix booze and brainless morons
together you are bound to have a
mess.
Scientists have established
the fact that mankind descended
from apes, One has but to attend
a high class social event with all
its boozing and carousing to see
that man is reverting rather rap-
idly to the animal state, The on -
of intelligence,
I think the Hesselwoods truly
deserve to be paid well for the
indignity of cleaning such a mess,
Thank you.
A Concerned
Reader,
From winhIow by SHIRLEY j, KELLER
Not too long ago now I picked
up a book which my teenaged
son was reading for an English
course at the high school he a-
ttends, I opened the book at ra-
ndom and began to read, I had
only digested a couple of lines
before the hair on the back of
my neck began to bristle, I
slammed the book shut and
paced the floor up and down
to calm myself.
Why? Well, in the few lines
I'd read of the book I saw God's
name taken in vain about ten
times in one paragraph. I'd
scanned through some of the
most obscene word pictures
ever put before the eyes of a
high school student and I'd been
thoroughly and completely em-
barrassed,
The frustrating part of the wh-
ole thing was that there was no-
body to blame for this dirty book
in the possession of my son, It
wasn't his fault. It was the requ-
ired course of study. It wasn't the
school's fault for it was a part of
the course approved by the Ontar-
io Department of Education, It
wasn't the Department's fault be-
cause it was only an example of
modern literature? It wasn't the
author's fault because he was on-
ly putting onto paper what most
people wanted to read.
I suppose if anyone is to blame
it has to be me, for I am a part
of a sick society which has low-
ered itself to enjoy literature (?)
of this calibre. My son, unhapp-
ily, is reaping the rewards of my
misguided morals. Is it any won-
der I felt frustrated and angry?
Not long ago I sat in on a dis-
cussion by some persons interest-
ed in education who were attemp-
ting to decide whether or not th-
ey should strive to maintain a
higher moral standard for the st-
udents coming through our educ-
ational system, Believe it or not
there was some question about it.
These people just could not de-
cide whether moral -building was
in their jurisdiction,
I suppose it takes an idiot like
me to stand up and be counted
in this regard. It takes someone'
like me to state openly and pub-
licly that the rotting moral fibre
of this nation is a concern of
mine and that I, for one, would
like to seem some semblance of
decency restored before it is too
late for all of us.
You may be one of the hund-
reds of people who feel that
books should reflect the times
in which we live. Can you tell
me why? Can you explain why
we must preserve for posterity
all the hideous sins of our age
which are committed in the
name of truth to oneself?
You may be one who agrees
that our students should be ex-
posed to all kinds of literature
(?) no matter how bad, how
sick, how obscene, You may
believe it is wise to tell it as
it really is - no fairy tales.
But how does one turn the tide
to something different? Why
must we perpetuate every-
thing that is ugly and supress
all those things which are fine
and good?
You may be one who sincer-
ely accepts the premise that
it is better for young people
to read questionable literat-
ure (?) under the guidance of
a qualified adult teacher rath-
er than consuming the same
material in the dead of night
under the blankets with a flash-
light. I wonder about that,
at least by using the latter me-
thodone realizes the reader
knows his choice of book is
not widely accepted. He
obviously understands the
book is naughty when by re-
ading
it in class, he is lead
to believe the book is not
only proper, it is of such dis-
tinction that it is selected
reading for him.
You may be one who laughs
at all this because you may
be one who imagines that mo-
st young people learn by
example and not from
dirty books at school, You
may be quite right, But tell
me, friends, Is it wise to
cement in all the bad thin-
gs a person learns just becau-
se he's learned them? Is it
good for the schools - the
nurseries of education - to
build on the bad just becau-
se it happens to have infilt-
rated our nation's very fou-
ndation?
There's only one way out, you
know. That's for society - you
and me - to rise up all over the
place and demand that better
books be sought for our schools.
The solution isn't to ban the bad
ones but to promote the good
ones. Surely if that were the
case, more and more good
books would be written: there
w ould be more available for
our schools; and there would be
a slow but steady return to the
kind of morals which keep
people happy and contented.
Relief from pain
Pain from minor burns or scal-
ds where the skin is not broken
can be relieved by immersion of
the affected part in cold water,
according to St. John Ambulance.
Cold water immersion can be
continued for as long as the pat-
ient feels relief, Where immersion
is not possible, towels or cloths
soaked in clean, cold water and
changed frequently may be applied
to the affected area.
It may be necessary to add ice
cubes to the water in the cont-
ainer since bodily heat will other-
wise warm the water. It is not ad-
visable to place a sensitive burn
under a running faucet or shower
as the pressure from a stream of
water may offset the relief gain-
ed by the cool water.
During the treatment the patie-
nt should be kept as comfortable
as possible. Hot drinks and blan-
kets should be used to offset any
feeling of chill, Marry cases of
minor nature will require no
further treatment once the pain
has disappeared.
Letter to the editor,
Irate over vandalism
'ro THE EDITOR,
Regarding the letter telling
of the town hall, it gives me
the chills to think some of my
best friends live close to where
these animal -like people were
doing their thing.
The following Friday night
we had occasion to be going
through the village of Blyth on
our way home. It gave one
the feeling that it was not a
safe route. Three police
cruisers surrounded the hotel:
back, front and side, Men
and police were strewn all
over the sidewalk. Now we
have knowledge to know that
Blyth does not apparently have
a police station, therefore
these police had been called
in from various areas.
When will they learn, My
presumption is that one is not
going to see a hotel on the.
corner much longer if that
corruption is to be dragged in
and out of the village.
As taxpayers, I would look
into this before, not only the
hotel is removed, but before
Blyth has too few residents to
exist on the map,
Sincerely, A Village Lover,
9(Ifllt$j1s policy onwaiting:. no chiI� io wak marc man a half mile
A recorded vote which showed
trustees Garnet Hicks, John Tay -
lee and John Broadfoot opposed
to a policy of walking distance
for students to meet buses was
taken last week in Clinton,
Although the policy was pass-
ed, there was considerable dis-
content shown among board
members who questioned the
need for it. It was pointed out ,
however, that the county board's
transportation officer had reques-
ted
equested the policy so that he
would be able to arbitrate some
transportation disputes with-
out bringing each on to the att-
ention of the board.
The new policy reads; Elem-
entary students may be requir-
ed to walk up to one-quarter •
mile from gate to school bus
and secondary students 'may be
required to walk up to one-
half mile from gate to school
bus, and then only if after 8 a, m,
except where a turn around or
other travelling conditions may
be considered unsafe to the
school bus and students, in the
opinion of the transportation
officer of this board or an offic-
er of the Depar tment of Trans-
portation and Communication.
Some trustees predicted a
rash of complaints from parents
who would misunderstand or
misinterpret the new policy, It
was pointed out that no changes
are anticipated immediately be-
cause of the policy, nor does it
mean that the transportation
people will not do everything
in their power to ensure maxi-
mum bus service for as many
students as possible,
The policy will, however,
give some authority to the
transportation officer in the
event of problems,
Director of Education John
Dochrane reminded the board
that transportation is a
"privilege, not a right".
The Act states that a board
does not have to provide bus
transportation for students and
that students under seven can
be required to walk up to one
mile; students seven to ten
maybe required to walk up
to two miles; and students over
ten may be required to walk
up to three miles,
Policy was also passed expre-
ssing the board's belief that all
buses should stop for railway
crossings, The policy states
that "Board owned buses shall
comply with this policy when
driving empty and all contract ,
buses shall be encouraged to
conform".
There was some discussion
concerning how the Board
would discern whether or not
contract buses were conforming
County news
Teachers like developing
their own curriculum
A group o1Huron County elem-
entary school teachers who have
been studying curriculum devel-
opment for presentation to the
board of education told trustees
last week in Clinton that every
teacher is free to develop his
or her own curriculum and pre-
fers it that way.
Although the Ontario Depart-
ment of Education came under
criticism by the committee be-
cause of its lack of direction in
some courses of study for some
grades, it was evident from the
presentation made by the
Huron teachers that znost mod-
ern educators enjoyed the free-
dom they enjoyed within the br-
oad guidelines set down by the
Department.
Ralph Smith, Principal of
Robertson Memorial School in
Goderich compared the detail-
ed courses of study of former
years to the very loosely struct-
ured guidelines provided by
the Department of Education
these days, He noted his be-
lief that more definite
courses are valuable especia-
lly in the kindergarten to
Grade 6 area, because it is
important that certain skills
be taught to all children.
Herb Murphy, Science de-
partment head at Goderich
DCI spoke of the need to co-
ordinate the courses taught
in the intermediate grades -
seven, eight, nine and ten -
so that the transition from
elementary school to second-
ary school can be as smooth
as possible, causing the lea-
st amount of upset to the few-
est number number of students,
It was pointed out that each
department in the secondary
school must function as a
curriculum committee, De-
partments at the present time
do develop courses and work
on curriculum, 'but more lo-
cal work must be done in this
direction, it was shown,
Murphy said that when
curriculum development is
considered, there are a ser-
ies of steps which must be
followed. Teachers must con-
sider the rationale of'the.
course, the aims ana object-
, ives of the course, the cont-
ent, the textbooks available,
reference materials, the costs
involved, the methodology
and techniques of instruction,
the qualities of the teacher
who will give the course and
the steps involved in obtain-
ing approval for the course.
Murphy also talked about
Continued on pg. S.
. to the regulations,
"Would anyone like to move
that the trains stop for the sch-
ool buses?" quipped Chairman
Bob Elliott,
Two resignations were noted
at Monday's meeting. The 1 r-
st resignation was from W. H,
K nisely, superintendent, who
will leave the board's employ at
the end of August for retire-
ment, One other superintend-
ent, Frank Madill, tendered his
resignation at last month's meet-
ing,
Vice-principal of Goderich
DCI, Leonard Boyce, has also
indicated his intention rxx to
retire at the end of August.
The board also approved an
education committee suggest-
ion that the board proceed
with the planning and
construction of an
addition to Turnberry Cent-
ral Public School to
accommodate Golden Circle
School for the Retarded and
a library for public school pur-
poses; andxx that Queen Eliz-
abeth School be. incorporated
in the plans when the addition
to Victoria Public School in
Goderich is being considered,
Huron County, it was pointed
out,., is one of the first county's
in Ontario to incorporate schools
for the retarded in with the reg-
ular day schools, This is going
on presently at Huron Hope wh-
ich is incorporated in with J.A. C,
McCurdy School.
The board also gave tentative
approval for a Consumer Educ-
ation course to be taught at
Goderich District Collegiate
Institute in September. The cou-
rse has been prepared by Wm,
Wark, commercial director,
and must still have Ontario De-
partment of Education Approv-
al,
Recommendations by the
committee on professional de-
velopment were approved by
the board, including one to
allocate $5 per fulltime teach-
er as a Professional Develop-
ment fund, However, the rec-
ommendations for payments
must come from a committee
of teachers to the Director of
Education for his authorization.
This fund will contain about
$3,100 it was estimated.
Reports from the superint-
endents were presented to the
board, In one report presented
by Frank Madill, it was shown
there was a lack of parental
interest at parents' nights to
discuss student progress, This
area causes some concern for
the teachers and the board, it
was noted,
The sum of $9,000 will be
allocated in the'1972 budget
for the addition of a' portable
classroom at the Howick Cent-
ral Public School, occasional
teachers will be requested to
register with the board and
efforts will be made to call
them on some kind of a rot-
ating basis; and policy was
finalized for school field
trips,

FROM NE MINISTER'S STUDY

STANLEY C, McDONAID
FACING LIFE'S PROBLEMS
The Bible is one of the greatest books on practical psy-
chology known to man. It is a record of human attitudes
and actions across the centuries, Great life lessons come
striding out of it pages into the modern world. It is a living
book because it comes out of everyday human experiences.
A remarkable illustration of this is found in the first
chapters of Philippians, Paul 'was writing from a prison cell
to encourage a little group of Christians in the Roman city
of Philippi. It was an evil city, and they were faced with
seemingly unsuperable odds, The Apostle urged on them a
threefold line of action: "STAND FIRM IN ONE SPIRIT, 1: he
said, "STRIVE SIDE BY SIDE, and DO NOT BE FRIGHTENED
IN ANYTHING, "
No finer psychology for facing life is known than that.
STAND FIRM. This describes the attitude of the Roman
soldier in battle, The soldier was steadfast under all circum-
stances, He would rather die at his post than yield to an
enemy.
The truth is that steadfastness is essential to victory in all
things. It is true of young people in their striving for edu-
cation, in their mastery of musical instruments, or with mak-
ing a success in any vocation,
The Duke of Wellington said his soldiers were not braver
than the French, but that they were braver for five minutes
longer.
Often it happens through some discouragement we quit just
when one more effort would tip the scales and success would
be ours. A stone mason strikes a rock again and again, but
a last blow splits it apart. Without that blow, he would have
failed. Persistence is a great principle of life.
STRIVE SIDE BY SIDE, Here is the call to co-operation.
Life is too complex for any individual or nation to handle
alone. President Roosevelt once said of his country, "This
will not be a good country for any of us to live in unless
it is a good country for all of us to live in. " We must work
together in the spirit of brotherhood if we are to exist and
prosper.
Pastor Martin Niemoller emerged as a hero from the Germ-
an
erman war, and rightly so. But the, tragedy of Niemoller is that
in the early days of Nazi persecution he said nothing, When
the right of free speech was attached he was silent, It is
only when the freedom of worship was challenged that lifted
his voice. But when liberty is taken from one, that threat
is directed to all.
Fear distorts everything. Often things are not nearly as bad
as fear pictures them to be. If we draw strength from faith
in God, and fellowship with him, then fear has a lesser hold
upon us.
We could all benefit from the council of St. Paul, the
servant of Christ to His other servants in facing the odds of
an evil society, In our everyday life we can use St. Paul's
trio of suggestions to overcome our daily battles and gain
strength: "STAND FIRM IN ONE SPIRIT...STRIVE SIDE BY
SIDE:.. LET NOTHING FRIGHTEN YOU." This is practical
psychology for modern living and is to be found in the
Gospel.

t
y
our week ahead
BY DR. A.W. DAMIS
Forecast Period: March 5 • March 12,1972
Bank the fires on the strained relationship that
might exist between you and older persons.
You must placate and yield during this cycle -
for your own good.
Apparently, many under your sign have neg-
lected their wardrobe or become careless with
their grooming. From all indications, your
• appearance will be very important this week.
For many Gemini persons, there is a high pos•
sibility that established romance patterns will
be broken. New affiliations with a member of
the opposite sex is indicated, '
There is good news for most members of your
sign, coming by way of mail, phone or through
a third party. Chances are favorable events
will trigger you into a mood to spend,
Avoid malicious gossip that's coming your way;
at the very best it can only distill into prob•
lems. Furthermore, see to it that an associate
does not encourage you to provoke someone in
authority.
Changes that you have long had in mind, con-
cerning someone who hlts become a chronic
problem, should be made now; minimum ad-
justment will be required,
Your ability to handle additional responsibility
will be put to test. Also, infighting, with your
associates is indicated, See to it that a superior
does not become Involved.
Most members of your sign will be thin of skin,
with this coming cosmic cycle. So, it's advisable
that you take the remarks of an associate or
the opposite sex, lightly,
We are never treacherous, that is, according
to our own light, In other words, many mem-
bers of your sign are going to be too highly
critical of their associates.
Goals or plans that you have established some
time back, will now be put to test. Also, during
this cycle a troublesome surprise, that you can
handle, will appear.
This happens to be one of those periods when
you must recognize your health limitations.
Actually, you might not be in the best of phy
steal shape. So, watch your diet, get plenty of
rest.
Look out for a fraudulent schemer. Stellar pat-
terns warn against a rather innocent or in-
significant exchange of property or cash. If
possible, check into behind the scene activities.

Repot house plants for
summer growth
Many of your house plants
will have slowed or stopped
their growth over the winter.
The next few weeks are the
best time to examine your
plants closely and repot any
that need it, says R. W. Craw-
ford, extension horticulturist,
Ontario Department of Agricult-
ure and Food,
Plants need repotting when they
are too large for their present
container or when the soil has
been used formany years.
When repotting, make sure the
soil is fairly coarse. This
gives good drainage to the
plant, the most important fac-
tor for good growth.
Take the plant out of the pot
by turning it upside down and
tapping the tin on a table or
board. Support the soil with
your hand as it comes out of
the pot. It is often wise to
take a pencil and loosen the
roots around the soil ball.
This way, they will grow into
the new soil much faster.
Place the new soil all
around the outside of the plant,

The fascinating thing is
that fishing often is even bet-
ter when that "favorite fish-
ing spot" is under a foot or
two of ice!
Because of this, the recrea-
tion experts of Mercury snow-
mobiles suggest that any se-
rious outdoorsman consider
going ice fishing during his
next snowmobile outing.
It's different than in sum-
mer, of course,
First, check with the local
weather bureau or conserva-
tion office to make sure the
ice where you plan to fish is
thick enough for snowmobile
travel and all -day fishing.
Second, you'll probably
want some kind of shelter
from the wind: A number of
lightweight, effective shelters
are available commercially,
and plans for low-cost. "do -

Third, it's good to have a
powered ice auger -they sure
beat an axe! And electronic
fish locators are a real aid to
avoid making a hole over a
mud bottom or batch of
weeds, since they function as
well thru ice as directly in
water -but be sure to have
fresh batteries because the
cold saps their power rapidly,
But, the point is, load your
snowmobile with the gear

and perhaps a portable heat-

or of education for Huron, "It is a
goal'but we may never reach.it,"
Cochrane said he did not condone
today's morals, but he added that
the schools were not fully respons-
ible for building morals in a stud-
ent, He said many students learn-
ed their morals at home or on the
street cr somewhere else in
. society,
Teachers like...
the need for evaluation of
courses, He spoke about al-
most daily evaluation where
the teacher would assess wh-
ether or not the part of the
course taught that day had
met the aims gnd objectives
set down,
"Every day should be eval-
uation day in the classroom, "
said Murphy, "but once a year
or possibly once a term or se-
mester, there should be an
overview of the work to date.
A department could profitablly
set aside a whole week, either
in June a spread out through
the year, to evaluate its total
program, possibly on the basis
of one day per grade level. In
some instances, members of
another department, or parents,
or outside consultants might be
invited to attend, "
Joe Wooden, principal of Sou-
th Huron D. H. S. , chairman of
the committee, told the board
it was possible for courses to de-
velop in one school which we
not being taught in any other
school in the same county,
"Yet all courses would be un-
der the department's guidelines
because the guidelines are so
broad," Wooden said,
"Teachers approve of the pre-
sent system," observed Wooden,
"It allows much broader devel-
opment and permits the teacher
to utilize the special skills he or
she possesses. "
Murphy, however, noted that
there could be the "great weak-
ness" in the system. He said that
in Grade 9, for instance, students
carne from a' variety of "feeder
schools" to a central high school
w ith.a variety of skills and spe-
cial interests, Murphy stressed
the need for the "core" which
would be common to all.
Mrs, Gordon Pullman of Sea -
forth Public School and Ken
Scott, Brussels Public School,
summarized some of the pres-
ent work being done in the cou-
nry toward curriculum develop-
ment, Others on the committ-
ee were Superintendent Jim Cou-
lter and Trustee Don McDonald.
There were 13 recommendations
set down by the committee for
study and possible implementat-
ion by the board of education in
Huron, They are:
1. - That Departments within
each secondary school increase
their efforts in the direction of
curriculum development with
special emphasis on relating
techniques of teaching to cont-
ent and upon other aspects of
curriculum other than content.
2. - That teaching staffs sp-
end more time in curriculum
evaluation. This should include
some attempt to determine the
degree of success of secondary
school graduates from Huron in
past secondary education, in
business and in industry,
3. - That Subject Council be
formed and operate as suggested.
4, - That Secondary School De-
partment Heads of each subject
hold regular meetings for curricul-
um development purposes.
S. - That all teachers of a
subject at the secondary level
meet occasionally for curriculum
'development purposes.
6. - That a curriculum
Development Committee be form-
ed in each school in the county.
7. - That curriculum guide-
lines for Kindergarten to Grade 6
be completed. Kindergarten to
Grade 6 curriculum should emph-
asize the basic skills - reading,
writing, arithmetical skills, sp-
elling, etc,,
Continued from pg, 1
!"Do we have the right to veto
certain books for study," asked
Clarence McDonald, Exeter,
"We're laymen and we're not
really qualified to judge the
quality of textbooks for the
classroom, If we're 'going to
ban all books with obscenities
in them, they may wind up
with very few books, "
Frank Madill, superintendent,
said that in his opinion students
were better off studying these
Continued from pg. 3
8. - That county -wide meet-
ings for teachers in special areas
continue,
9, - That teachers of each ,
grade Kindergarten to Grade 6,
meet regularly to evaluate and
develop curriculum as noted in
section 8,
10, - That more preparatory
work be done before special cou-
rses, such as music and art, prior
to offering such courses. For ex-
ample, we should do more than
simply place the name of a sub-
ject on a subject selection sheet.
Curriculum and facilities need to
br considered as well as staff.
11. - That some of the time re-
commended by the Professional
Development Committee be spent
in curriculum development.
12, - That consideration be
given to freeing for limited per-
iods of time certain members of
the county teaching staff to rev-
iew curriculum in a defined area
and then hold sessions with the
teachers concerned. Such sess-
ions should concentrate on curr-
iculum improvement.
13, - That nothing in our re-
port suggests that we should aim
at a uniformity of curriculum a -
books under the guidance of a
teacher than reading them in
bed unknown to their parents,
"I didn't always feel this
way but I do now," continued
Madill,
Chairman Bob Elliott termin-
ated the discussion by saying
that there was a right way to
teach such literature and a
w rong way.
The vote showed that the
word "moral" would stay,
mong the schools of the county.
Some agreement on general ar-
eas and objective and upon
some core material is desirable
to considerable freedom to inter-
pret Department guidelines and
to develop courses should remain
with the local school.

Well, what do o you think of
the CBC's widely -touted
Jalna'. series? Please don't
answer that aloud. There are
ladies present.
Ah, with what hopes we
looked forward to a truly
brilliant, all -Canadian grand
Slain in the world of tele-
vision. All -Canadian cast,
all=Canadian material, and a
decent budget.
It would astonish the
world, dazzle the screen,
and all of the world's great
networks would beat a path
to the CBC door, clutching
millions of pounds, francs,
dollars and lira, begging and
pleading for the right to re-
produce it,
So much for hopes. The
result merely shows that
you can have on hand cham-
pagne, caviar and filet mi-
gnon, but if the cook
doesn't • know- what he's
doing, it ends up as watery,
limp and lukewarm hash.
We have the champagne
in the shape of 'gorgeous
sets, We have the caviar in a
collection of first-rate
actors. And we have the
filet in the rare beef of the
original Jalna novels,
But what emerges on the
screen is the most ham-
fisted, club-footed, distor-
ted, downright dog Of a
series anyone could dream
up. Or nightmare up,
The champagne has been
watered, the caviar has been
■
fired - from a shot -gun, and
the rare beef has been minc-
ed into hamburg,
1 warned the CBC, before
the series began, that I
would roast it if it weren't
at least reasonably good, It's
not even reasonably bad,
Can you roast hash?
' I watched the first epi-
sode with a mixture of dis-
belief and horror, The
second was a little better,
and hope sprang eternal.
The flame was quickly
smothered by the succecd-
ing wet blankets.
thought 1 . knew the
Jalna novels inside out. But
the series is so baffling that,
were it not for the names of
the characters, I'd be willing
to admit that it was the
Bobbscy Twins series 1 was
thinking of,
The most coherent parts
of the Sunday night show
are the commercials. But
even here you have to keep
a wary eye, because you're
not quite sure they aren't
part of the plot, so dense
and unwieldy is the latter,
Those faint screams you
hear from your set are not'
static. They are Miss Mazo
de la Roche, author ,of the
novels, shrieking epithets at
the CBC, the director, and
everyone else connected
with the mutilation of her
manuscripts.
Perhaps the most appal-
ling aspect of the - whole
Verdict in:
Jalna's a mess
dreary business is that the
CBC has actually sold the
series to some retarded
British network, on the un-
derstanding that it (the
CBC) will produce another
13 episodes in the series.
This is not just flogging a
dead horse, It is giving cas-
tor oil to someone who is
dying of dysentery.
You may have picked up
the misconception that 1
don't like the Jalna series,
Quite Wrong, I love it. it's
the best comedy -mystery
hour on the air,
Mind you, the comedy is
of the black variety, It's ra-
ther like making jokes as the
British Empire, on which
the sun never set, sinks
slowly into the sunset,
But the -mystery, though
there is obviously no solu-
tion, is fascinating. Sorting
out the characters alone is
more fun than reading a
Russian novel.
Who is married to
'whom'? Why? When? Which
are brothers, which cousins?
Is Rennie's second wife,
Eden's first -mistress'? When
is Rennie going to get a new
nightie -gown?
The ram ificat ions are
endless. And hopeless. It's a
soap opera with a schizo-
phrenic at the helm.

Now is the time to start
thinking about plants for
your garden this spring, says
R , W. Crawf ord, extension
herticulturalist, Ontario Depar t-
ment of Agriculture and Food.
One of the most popular
garden plants is the geranium,
You can start to take cuttings
now and enlarge your supply
of flowers for May and June.
Cuttings should be 2 to 4.
inches long, and at least
as thick as a pencil, Some
people simply put the geran-
ium cuttings into water and
let them root this way, says
Mr, Crawford. However,
they can also be put into a
pot of sand which is kept
moist. One way of ensuring
sufficient moisture is to put
the pot of cuttings into a large
plastic bag to prevent moisture
loss.
Depending on conditions,
rooting may take three or
four weeks. Remember that
there is a limited food supply
in the cutting, They cannot
grow indefinitely in water
or sand.
When there is a good
root system on the cutting,
transplant it into a small pot
of well -drained soil. Good
light and moisture levels will
help ensure a good healthy
plant for your garden
in May,

Behind the Scenes ,
In the middle of a cold, snowy
street a seek or so ago, I saw a
sight that was like a breath of
warm May air,
The glimpse of the spring to
come, came in the shape (and a
nice shape at that) of a young
high school girl in a mini -skirt
walking down the street showing
off her pretty legs. Until that
moment I hadn't realized that
this winter had been different
than most others for the past few
years. Maybe you remember the
first winter or so after the mini-
skirt came into fashion in our cou-
ntry. I remember I was living in
Tcronto at the time and no matter
how cold it became, the girls
would be off to work every morn-
ing with several square feet of
skin exposed to the elements as
they strove to be in fashion.
That must have been one of the
most painful fashion periods in
history, for if you think winters
here are cold, you should exper-

Mr. Robert Wallace reports the
birth of a calf on his farm. The
calf has no eyes, and appearing
where the eyes should be are two
tiny slits, but there are no, eye-
balls, and of course, the calf
cannot see, Otherwise it
appears quite normal,
At a meeting held recently at
the home of Dr, H, A. S. Vokes,
the ground work was laid towards
forming a local Boy Scout Group

At the regular monthly meet-
ing of village council, Messrs.
Hugh Hill and County Agricult-
ural Representative Shearer were
present and addressed the council

Plowing Match to be held near
Kinburn, during the year.
Three planes from Sky Harbour,
were forced down on John Sander -
son's farm -about 10:00 a, m, this
Wednesday morning during the
heavy mist. The planes landed
near Mr, Sanderson's house with-
in a very short interval of each
other, and no one was injured.
When the mist had disappeared

by Keith Roulston
ience one in damp, blustery, down-
town Toronto. In those days, girls
not only came in all shapes and
sizes, but in various colours too
from petrified purple to numb red.
That area from the top of their
boot to the bottom of their short
short dresses was usually so goose-
pimpley it looked like the Rocky
Mountains viewed from a distance.
A man in those days was of two
opinions about the women he met
on the street. Depending on his
mood he either admired them for
their effort to look attractive ev-
en while they were slowly freezing
to death, or he thought they were
complete idiots for going out in
Toronto weather half naked.
But the girls were losing the batt-
le because if they thought they look
ed good they were deceiving them-
selves. Most men just weren't inter.
ested in all that half -frozen skin.
The fashion industry tried to conn
iat the problem of the cold by com
ling out with boots that went up ab-
ove the knee to just about where
dresses used to come down to. But
the craze just didn't catch on. It
wasn't until the midi and maxi
coats began to catch on that the
frozen flesh began to.disappear.
Most girls, I suspect, didn't go
for the coats because they liked
their looks, but because they
just couldn't face bare -legging
it for another winter.
I haven't been in Toronto this
winter, but I imagine there are
still a number of girls braving the
elements downthere with their
knocking knees exposed to the
winds off Lake Ontario. Up in our
part of the country, however, see-
ing an expanse of leg in the
outdoors these days is so rare that
it attracts immediate attention.
It's a sure sign that spring can't
be far away, and for my part it's
a sign I like a heck of a lot
better than seeing the first
robin.
