Efforts made -
to speed
mail
In conjunction with the Blyth
post office, The Standard is
beginning a concerted program
this week to improve mail service to
all out of town subscribers.
In the past year, mail service,
from what we can determine, has
deteriortated greatly. This is a
problem with not only The
Standard but with most other
newspapers in this area as well.
Some out of town subscribers may
feel we are not doing enough to see
that their paper arrives on time but
there is very little we can do once
the papers are delivered at the post
office, and very little the local
postmaster can do once the papers
leave Blyth early Thursday
morning.
However, we are trying to do our
best to see that every paper is
directed the shortest route possible
to the subscriber. With this in
mind, a coupon will be put in next
week's paper asking out of town
subscribers to let us know how long
it takes for them to receive their
copy.
Weekly Euchre

Grant reduced for school addition.
School board loses $14.000
BY WILMA OKE
The Huron County Board of
Education was informed Monday at
a board meeting in Clinton that the
approved cost, on which the
Ministry of Education pays grant,
was reduced by $14,000 for the
$277,435 addition to the Exeter
Public School.
D.J. Cochrane, Director of
Education, said the $14,000 will
have to be picked up in operating
budget or deleted from the
contract.
Refflinghaus Construction of
Goderich was awarded the tender
for the addition at the end of
December. , In order to have the
work inchtded in the 1973 allocation
the tender price was discussed by
telephone with Ministry officials
and given approval.
Mr. Cochrane said when the
re luction was made in written
confirmation from the Ministry, he
had asked for an explanation, and
was told it was made when it
reached an official 'higher up'.
E. Cayley Hill, Board Chairman,
said: "Unless. there is a very good
reason for doing this, I don't think
it's right, 'It is an unfair exhibition
of poor business to be led to the
trough, then cut off."
Mr. Hill was directed to write the
Ministry asking that the cut be
reconsidered.
The, report on the school
. visitations made by Mr. Hill .,►nd
Mr. Cochrane in the fall will be
discussed at a special meeting at
the end of February or early' '
March after Mr. Cochrane and his
staff have completed a study on the
ten proposals in the report and
decide which item has priority over
another.
The report concerns class size,
teacher -pupil ratio, opportunity
classes, special education, curricul-
um development, budgetry matt-
ers, professional development,
organization, evaluation and acc-
ountability; programs and facilit-
ies; personnel and the public image
of education.
The Board will pay membership
fees totalling $3,539.71 --Ontario
School Trustees' council fee,
$2,024 and Ontario Public School
Trustees' Association, 51,515.71.
Approval was given by-laws
dealing with rules of order and
motions at board meetings.
The vice-chairmen of the stand-
ing committees, Clarence McDon-
ald, Exeter, management committ-
ee, and Mrs. Mollie Kunder,
Seaforth, education committee,

Business Administrator; and vice-
chairman, of the board, Wilfred
Shortreed, will attend the provin-
cial salary conference held by the

Two field trips were approved --
10 students front the Cross Country
Ski Club at South Huron District
High School qn a two-day excursion
to Gravenhunst.on February 9.10 at

up -coming competition which is on
terrain similar to the Muskoka
area.
Thirty senior students from
Grade 11, 12 and 13 of the Prefect
organization at Central Huron
Secondary School, Clinton on an
overnight excurFion to Toronto in
the near future as a reward for the

during regular school hours, and at
other evening activities. No cost to
the Board.
Ivan Carter, custodian at Sea -
forth District High School, will be
placed on the permanent staff as of
February 5.

. four trustees chosen by him.
PG. 2, THE BLYTH STANDARD JAN. 23, 1974.
Fill in the form
Anyone who is familiar with the social patterns of Blyth realizes that
public housing for senior citizens is badly needed,
A total of 115 forms for the survey of need for Ontario Housing
Corporation senior citizens housing were sent out to residents of Blyth
who are eligible for inclusion in the housing because of their age. Many
of those persons could benefit from the low rental schedule of the
apartments, Many would appreciate the chance to move out of a big
house and into a modern apartment with others of their own age where
they can still have privacy, yet can have comradeship through the
social life of the building: .
The village will also benefit economically. At a time when Blyth
suffers an acute housing shortage, many houses are occupied by single
persons, persons living this way, not so much from choice, as because
there is no attractive alternative, Giving these people somewhere else
to live would make more houses available for family occupation.
Yet for all the need and attractiveness of senior citizen housing, it
may not come. Blyth will only gain the housing if all those who need it
fill in their forms and send them in: that means anyone in Blyth or the
surrounding area who would like to live in the apartments. If you know
of such a person, urge them for their own benefit and for others, to
complete their form and return it,
No choice but change
Sometime this year Canadians are likely to go to the polls for another
election to decide which party will govern the country.
The reason for going back to the people will be to bring new stability
to Canadian political affairs by electing a majority government. This,
however, seems unlikely to come about. It is probable that we will have
another minority government. 1
It seems evident, however, that there will be a change in the
governing party and, whether really fair or not, such a change will be
good for the country.
Robert Stanfield and the Conservative party have certainly, not
shown that they have any great insights to bring to government that
calls for them to be handed the reins. Mr. Stanfield's biggest asset has
been the' inflation that has racked the country in the past year and
apparent inability of the government to change the situation. Yet Mr.
Stanfield in his wisdom has suggested only one answer to the problem,
an answer that has already been discredited in the U.S.: wage and
price controls.
Yet Canada needs a change of government for the same reason many
in the United States call for the resignation of the President: to restore
credibility to government.
There has been so much criticism, both deserved and undeserved, of
the present government that it seems the only way to clear the air of
ridicule and distrust is to change the government.
Except for the fear that Mr. Stanfield's policies on wage and price
controls may cause further disruption in the economy, there seems to
be little difference in the policies of the two parties which could harm
the country.
The time then, seems to be right for a change.
How much longer?
Arroganceis a charge that has often been hurled at the Progressive
Conservative party now governing Ontario. It is a charge the
government, and particularly Premier William Davis have vehemently
, denied over and over again.
But moves by two prominent members of the Davis cabinet can last
week summon up only one adjective: arrogance.
First we have the Yaremko affair where John Yaremko, solicitor
general is found to have extensive land holdings in the Niagara
Escarpment area, the value of which will be effected by legislation to
be decided by the cabinet on the, future of the Escarpment. The
province has taken complete control of planning for the area, Mr.
Yaremko may not be in a special position, but he's in one that any other
speculator would love to hold.
Yet both Mr. Yaremko and Mr, Davis refuse to admit that there is
anything wrong with a cabinet member owning land in an area where
the government will have complete control. It is the third time, let's
remember, that a cabinet minister has been involved in land dealings
with the government in the past couple of years.
Then too there is the case of the land freeze imposed on Goderich
and Stanley townships to prevent a shopping plaza from being built
outside the boundaries of Goderich instead of inside the town.
Provincial Treasurer John White is the man involved here. Mr. White,
at the request of the town of Goderich, imposed the land freeze
because, he said, a shopping centre outside the town limits would
thwart years of planning in the town. He may be right, though some
think he may be wrong. However, when Goderich township asked Mr.
White to meet with the township council (which had already issued a
building permit for the plaza) to explain his decision, he flatly refused.s
Surely, in the interest of fairness, Mr. White must sit down and explain
his side to the township councils and listen to theirs, even if it may not
change the outcome. What Mr. White has done smacks of dictatorship.
The townships have been told that the provincial treasurer in Toronto
will•tell them what to do and they will kindly shut up and do what he
says without question.
. How much longer, one wonders, will the people of Ontario put up
with this kind of government?

Behind the Scenes...
Of ice storms and other things
WITH KEITH ROULSTON
Our family missed most of the ice
storm this weekend. We were in
the tropical climbs of Essex county
attending a wedding and only hit
the tail end of the storm when we
came home.
There is something hauntingly
beautiful about an ice storm. The
beauty is easy to see with the trees
glistening with shiny ice. Yet the
beauty is haunting because it is a
dangerous beauty. Probably no
other happening in winter spells so
much trouble as an ice storm. In a
few short hours the ice can wreck
trees, knock electrical power
companies for a loop and cause
hundreds of serious accidents.
Seeing the thick coating of ice on
the trees Sunday night when we
arrived home reminded me of an
ice storm several years ago when
storms like this were still a source
of fun because I was a child who
didn't have to worry about driving
cars or power blackouts.
This storm, I remember, also hit
on a Saturday night and by Sunday
morning the concession road we
lived on was a sheet of ice for
miles. People were more patient in
those days I think because few took
the risk of getting in an accident by
driving their cars. They just stayed
inside and forgot about Sunday
visiting or going to church. One car
was driven, 1 remember now, by
one of the young men on our line
who thought he knew better than
anyone else and that his superior
skill would allow him to drive on
the glassy surface.
I remember him doing a
complete 360 degree turn just in
front of our farm and narrowly
missing clipping the mail box.
The afternoon was a bad one for
cars, but a great one for kids. Every
kid in the neighbourhood tied on
his skates that afternoon and had a
mile -long skate on the icy road. It
became one big party as all the
youngsters met on the road 'and
play follow the leader and crack the
whip and other games. Today I
imagine few youngsters would do
the same thing because they would
be worried about what the rough
ice might do to their skates, but in
our day, no one really cared that
' much about keeping sharp skates.
Skating was a big social event in
the country in those days. We had a
big meadow on our farm and if we
were lucky enough to get a January
thaw we would have a big pond to
skate on for several weeks every
' winter. The pond was the Saturday
' home of youngsters for a mile down
the line on both directions and the
place where most boys learned the
first rules of hockey.
I haven't lived in the country for
years now, but it seems to me the
kids don't skate on the neighbour-
hood pond much any more. One
reason could be that there aren't
many ponds left thanks to super
efficient farm drainage. But I think
farm kids today are really just town
kids living on a farm. Their
recreation is centred around the
town. They have to skafe in the
local arena, not on a farm pond and
they have to belong to an organized
hockey team, not just bat a puck
over some not -so -smooth ice in
someone's pasture.
The new way may not be all that
wrong and the old way right, but 1
think something is lost when things
become too professional and
organized. I'd still like to see a
pond in every farm neighbourhood
and a natural ice rink in the middle
of town somewhere where the kids
could go and skate whenever they
wanted to and not have to be
constantly supervised. If such a
pond were available, I dare say a
few adults would take advantage of
it too.

Hold it Aries! Concerning affairs of the heart?
Remember, no one, you included, can afford
the luxury of controlled hallucinations. Take an
objective look at a member of the opposite sex.
Substituting, taking someone else's place - isn't
always desirable. Especially, when your atti-
tude is one of mixed emotions. Meaning? Illu-
sionary gains are likely, this week.
This happens to be an ideal time for you to re-
channel your thinking, relative to the opposite
sex. What is more, you must initiate several
changes, in affairs of the heart.
This week, especially, handling or knowing how
to manage money - is your thing. It's highly
probable that you will "see through" a risky
business transaction.
This cosmic cycle finds you somewhat out of
character. Believe it or not, you're inclined
toward underestimating your potentialities. In
other words, you'll accomplish something you
did not think possible.
Things you believe to be under control, won't
be! Your miscalculations will include the oppo-
site sex. Advice! Meet coming problems on a
"one to one" basis.
According to your chart, most of your efforts
will be misdirected. Meaning? You'll devote
too much time to long` term projects at the
expense of obligations at hand.
The planet Mars, during this week's cosmic
cycle, will give you a "shot in the arm," In
other words, there's lots of energy coming your
way. A. warning, however! Guard against acci-
dents.
Don't rely on support from associates, this
week. As a matter of fact, turn •around and
take a look - only your shadow will be there.
Hold it Capricorn! You're inclined to become
over agressive and too pushy with your co-
workers and associates, This week, you won't
win a popularity contest.
It might seem foolish, this late in the game.
Nonetheless, a little self improvement, refresh-
er course or advanced training will be ex-
pected of you,
This cosmic cycle happens to find you in an
ideal position to persuade a member of the
other sex, you are going to want your way -
with strings attached!

TODILT
There is only today between you and tomorrow
Which is why Canada Pension Plan benefits
will be increased today and will be kept in line
with the cost increases of tomorrow
What this means to you as a beneficiary
Froo January 1st 1974, Canada Pension Plan benefit payments
will be adjusted to reach .. , then maintain a level in line with
the actual cost of living.
If you are receiving monthly benefits that began during the
period 1967 to 1973, your benefits have been recalculated so
that the amount you receive in 1974 is related to the actual
increase in the cost of living over the years your benefits have •
been paid. When you receive your January 1974 benefit cheque,
you will see that it has been increased, The increase in your
payment will vary from 8% to 20% and will depend on the year
in which your benefit first became payable.
In future years, if living costs continue to rise, you can expect
further increases in your benefits based on current cost of
living data.
What this means to you as a contributor
As a contributor to the Canada Pension Plan, you are building
a basic and portable retirement plan for the future and at the
same time providing current protection for yourself ani' your
dependents against the possibility of severe disability or early
death.
In order to protect the value of ;our eventual benefits, the
Canadian Parliament has passed legislation which ensures that
the contributions you make today will give benefits that
maintain the purchasing power of today's wages twenty, thirty
or even fifty years from now .. , when you need it!
To achieve this, the Government plans to have the earnings
ceiling — the maximum imount on which contributions are paid
and on which benefits are calculated — increased each year •
so that it will reach, and then keep even with the average
earnings of Canadian industrial workers. This ceiling will be
raised. from $5,600.00 in 1973, to $6,600.00 in 1974 and
$7,400.00 in 1975.
This new earnings ceiling means that the year's basic exemp-
tion — the initial amount on which you do not pay contributions
— is changed from $600.00 in 1973 to $700,00 for 1974.
These changes also mean that the maximum employee con-
tributions will increase from $90.00 a year in 1973 to $106.20
in 1974. Your contribution is matched by your employer.
In the case of self-employed persons, the maximum annual
contribution is increased to $212.40 for 1974 as against $180.00
last year. For earnings of less than $5,700,00, there will be no
increase in contributions.
The change in the earnings ceiling means that the maximum
retirement pension will rise from $90.71 for pensions effective
in December 1973 to $134.97 for those whose pensions will '
begin in December 1975. As the maximum earnings levels for
the years after 1975 continue to rise, so will the maximum
retirement pensions in those years. There will also be increases
in the maximum values each year for disability and survivors'
benefits.

From the Minister's
Study
BY REV. JOHN G. ROBERTS BELGRAVE
For so many Christians, to be confronted by God is to be confronted
by demand. He asks us to live by certain standards; to use a particular
set of values to assess and judge everything about our lives, our
fellows, our place in the world. He demands that we give up our own
goals and ambitions and seek to live according to His will and purpose.
We are told that we must not be concerned with ourselves, but with our
neighbour, and the bounds of neighbourliness are pushed ever further
afield to include anyone anywhere or indeed everyone everywhere.
Constantly understanding God in this way has made many Christians
into rather reluctant heroes. Like a man nearing death who decides that
the end is inevitable and he might as well put on a bold front and face
up to it. If only we could escape from this demanding God, but we can't
so we might as well do the best we can in the circumstances.
How different this from the positive strength of the ancient Hebrew
prophets, from the Christians of New Testament times, from Jesus
himself. They believed in a God that is Eternal and Abiding, always
there, always constant, not subject to the changing whims of men. A
God whose faithfulness remains throughout the passing generations.
Those who believe in this God can ignore the "1 will if you will"
contract signing, treaty signing, conditional relationships of men in
favour of a God who UNCONDITIONALLY offers grace mercy peace to
all men. They believed in a God who is Alphs and Omega, the
beginning and the end, the instigator and controller of history who
alone began history that human destiny is in the hands of fickle minded
politicians, or careless polluters or multinational corporations.
This was their God...is it yours?

Hill discusses school board's plans for year
BY W1LMA OKE
At the inaugural meeting of the
Huron County Board of Education ' '
in Clinton Jan, 14 E. Caylcy Hill,
Goderich, Chairman of the Board,
made the, following inaugural
address.
"An inaugural address should
not dwell on the past but rather
should state a current position and
outline major objectives for the
year ahead,
This is the'start of the sixth year
for the Huron County Board of
Education. In the early years, much
time had to be taken by trustees
and administration officials in the
formation of programs, procedures
and policies. Much of this work is
now behind us and while updating
and changes will be required from
time to time, we can now turn out
attention more directly to the
current and future needs of our
community.
At the end of last year, a report
of the school visitation program
was presented to the board and this
outlined some of the basic
problems in our schools at what
might be called the operations
level. It is my hope that at an early
date, this board can give serious
thought to the subjects raised in
this submission and develop a
program with priorities to over-
come the problems which exist.
Solutions must be found if we are
going to have equality of opportun-
ity in our Huron County education-
al system.
Considerable progress toward
the development of a better
understanding between our board
and our teaching staff has been
achieved, and this program must
be continued. While differences
may from time to time develop, we
must have a mechanism which will
allow us to sit down and solve
problems in a fair.and just manner.'
As trustees, we have overall
responsibility and authority, but we
must use and measure our
prerogatives wisely.
1974 has every indication of
being a year in which we will
_experience a continued inflationary
trend. This will increase our
problems in budgeting and may
force us to seek additional monies
through taxation. Unquestionably,
our costs of operation are going to
be higher, We will have to face
such problems in an objective
manner and deal with these
subjects in a way so• as to ensure
that we are giving our ratepayers
the best value possible for their
taxation dollar, Inequities which
may exist in the provincial
educational assistance program
which have an adverse effect on our
type of administration must be the
subject of discussion with officials
at Queen's Park. There are most
definitely differences in costs
experienced by the boards across
the province. It may be that
weighting factors and other supple-
ments arc not sufficient to provide
for equality of education across the
province. Where such problems
effect us, we must take action with
the proper authorities to seek a fair
resolution.
While the general public is
aware of our existence as an arm of
county government, few really
know and understand the function
of trusteeship in education. Too
often trustees, and the board, are
thought of in the negative. We
establish salaries and play a part in
setting taxation levels, but that is
not, as you know, our prime
function. 1t seems a step should be
taken toward making the public
more aware of what we are doing
and what the problems are. We
should not dwell on any desire for
better publicity unless it is
warranted, but we should try to
expand public awareness of our
activities, to better inform our
citizens in the trends and state of
the county education structure. We
have, in ott teachers and support-
ing staff, people who have
dedicated their working lives to
educating our children --and their
work must be made better
known --to be fully appreciated. We
must find means to accomplish
this.
As well, we must encourage
capable people within our commun-
ity to come forward as prospective
trustees, so as to ensure continuity
at board level, when some of us
decide to retire.
I am proud of the opportunity to
serve once again as your chairman.
We have a good board of conscien-
tious trustees. One thing I have
always found is that once a decision
is made by the board, all members
support it, regardless of prior
discussion. This is indicative of the
proper spirit of board work.
Undoubtedly we will have prob-
lems to deal with in 1974 and some
will be serious ones. However, if
we maintain as a board the spirit of
co-operation that has been demon-
strated in the past, we can, with the
support of our competent adminis-
tration group, have a very success-
ful year.
Following the ratification of the
re-election of Mr. Hill as chairman
of the board for 1974 and Wilfred
Shortreed as vice-chairman, then
the above address of Mr. Hill's, the
report of the steering committee
was approved with the result the
Education Committee will be

Ducks Unlimited (Canada)
LABRADOR DUCK (Camptorhynchus labradorius) —
Unfortunately' little is known of this now extinct
duck which once bred in southern Labrador, The
last record of a living member of the species was -
Deicember 12, 1878, at Elmira, New York. Several
reasons have been given for the extinction of the
species, including its restricted breeding range,
the effects of plumage' and egg hunters, the
bird's dependence on rather specific foods which
were eliminated from its range, and general
persecution by man,

Following meetings of the
members of the Education Commit-

elected chairman of the Education
Committee and Mrs. Kunuer,

vice-chairman; while Mr. Corrigan
was elected chairman of the
Management Committee and Clar-
ence McDonald, vice-chairman.
Meeting in committee of the
whole the ' Board discussed the
absence of the secondary school
teachers in Huron, who joined
thousands of teachers across the
province on December 18 who
stayed away from school to protest
against government legislation
which would invalidate the resigna-
tions of 7,800 teachers trying to
hasten salary negotiations and
order compulsory arbitration,
Following the discussion the
trustees decided that any second-
ary school teacher not at school on
December 18 will lose a day's pay.

The photographer who took above picture on one of Freeport's
many beaches o viously had a little help from his friends in
order to line up this bevy of attractive girls. Freeport, in the
Bahamas, attracts people of all ages who enjoy the good life
because it is a centre for glamour and excitement — with clubs,
discotheques and casinos. With these diversions, the city lures
more than its share of pretty girls, as can be evidenced by photo.
No history in Freeport
— but night life is good
FREEPORT. Grand Bahama
Island --- "You can never
really get used to it." com-
plained the Canadian bachelor
who actually lives in this
Bahamian resort town located
some 80 miles south of Florida
and 150 miles north of Nassau.
apital city of the Bahamas.
He wasn't referring to the
warmth of the year-round sun-
shine. With tongue-in-cheek,
the young man was describing
the abundance of good-looking
girls who arrive in Freeport
daily from Canada and the
United States.
"I've been working here for
six months," he said. "but you
just can't take your eyes off
these girls — in fact, it's tough
ncentrating on work when
,ou can see them by the pool
or on the beach from the office
window."
And indeed, it's no accident
that young people (or older
folks who enjoy the good lift)
like Freeport, There's no pre-
tense about going to Freeport
for history, the past or old
world charm. The city doesn't
have any of these ingredients,
but it is truly a centre for
glamour and action -packed
excitement. Canadians must
enjoy this type of vacation,
because almost 50 per cent of
visitors to Freeport are from
Canada.
While beaches, crystal-clear
water and sunshine are the
attractions during the day,
Freeport becomes a roost for
night -owls after dark. The city
is in motion from sundown to
sun -up, and seems get its
second wind after midnight.
With all the glitter sur-
rotinag. Freeport, some peo-
ple [Ain for a quiet vacation
might be scare.) off. But the
builders of Freeport, which
really opened for tourist traffic
less than a decade ago, had
the foresight to build in other
attractions. For example, as
with all of the Bahamian is-
lands, white sand beaches
abound And there are six
18 -hole championship golf
courses on Grand Bahama
Island, including the Bahama
Reef Country Club;, the Eme-
rald and Ruby courses: at the
King's Inn & Country Club;
and Grand Bahama Hotel and
Country Club (West End). As
fol. water sports, thele is the
usual fare of swimming, snor-
keling, sailing and fishing.
had one goal and two assists, Jeff
Watson counted twice plus setting
up Steve Reid's second goal.
Steve Siertsema with two assists,
Curtis Campbell with one and
Steve Reid all helped set up goal.
Steve Reid picked up Blyth's only
penalty.
Dwight Chalmers and Steve
Sparling shared the goal tending
chore with both boys playing well.
Blyth enters the semi-final
rounds for ONHA playdowns
against either Zurich or Grand

TODAY'S CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
DOES WELL IN' SCHOOL
Neil, 9 years, is a handsome lad of Irish, English and Dutch
descent. He has dark eyes, brown hair and olive skin. Tall and
slender in build, he is in good health.
Neil is in Grade Four. He is at least average in intelligence.
All through School he has done well, even when putting little
effort into his studies.
He likes music and recently joined the junior choir at church.
Camping was a happy summer experience for Neil. He likes
games but until recently did not have much interest in sports.
That, however, is beginning to develop. He is a good skater,
having had skating lessons.
Perceptive, sensitive Neil is easily aware of other people's
feelings and knows at once if he is being accepted or not. He
understands his own feelings too and is able to talk about them.
He has a good sense of humor and is often witty.
Neil needs' a mother and father who are able to combine
warmth and firmness, and who have the time, and the desire, to
spend much time with their son and share activities with him.
Because Neil craves and needs a great deal of attention, there
should be no other children in his adoption home.
To inquire about adopting Neil, please write to Today's Child,
Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K,
Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information, please
contact your local Children's Aid Society. •

'Myrtle' gives_The Standard
Readers who look closely at The
Standard this week will see a
difference in appearance, The
difference is due to, the latest
addition to the staff, Myrtle.
Myrtle weighs about 400 pounds
and just sits in the corner all day,
humming, She is quite a lady.
Myrtle, the computer, went into
operation at The Standard Monday
and will mean a whole new look for
the paper in the next few weeks.
The real name for Myrtle is
Compuwriter but the machine,
which contains a small electronic
computer, is so small it has almost
human qualities and so it gained its ,
nickname. The machine is a
computerized photographic type-
setter and is used for setting all the
type for The Standard and her
sister publication The Village
Squire.
The machine is much faster than
the equipment formerly used to set
type for The Standard, It also
accomplishes something our old
equipment did not do, If you look at
a copy of this week's front page and
compare it with last week's, you
will see that the right hand side of
. each column in this week's paper is
even whereas last week's was not.
Research has shown that it is much
easier to read copy that is even on
both sides than copy that is not. .
Readership, particularly for old-
er readers, will be easier now too
because the type is larger and
darker,
Myrtle was ordered more than
six months ago with the hope that it
would be in use in the latter part of
1973, However, various delays
meant the machine could not be
installed until last Friday and this
week our staff is still learning how
to operate the complicated mach-
ine.

PG. 16, THE BLYTH STANDARD JAN, 23, 1974,
Teacher Centre established to help Huron teachers.
BY WILMA OKE, SEAFORTH
The Huron County Board of
Education meeting in Clinton
Monday, Jan, 21 approved the
establishment of a Teachers'
Centre in Huron for elementary
teachers.
The centre would move from one
area of the County to another,
remaining in a school, possibly for
one month at a time. The schools
suggested were J.A.D, McCurdy,
Hensall; Victoria Public in Goder-
ich and Wingham, with supervision
provided through the principal of
the school where the centre is for
that month,
Miss Mary Taylor, primary
consultant at the Regional Office,
has provided a list of materials and
equipment which would be necess-
ary to make the Centre useful, the .
initial cost would be approximately
$250, with a yearly budget of
$1,000. The Centre would be open
on a trial basis on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4
p.m. to 9 p.m. where the teachers
would be able to meet to share
ideas and read the materials
supplied.
In the event children are
snowbound at the school during the
winter, (they faced this crisis
during the crippling storth that hit
southwestern Ontario in 1971), the
Board approved, in principle,
inclusion of the following items of
equipment in the 1974 school
budgets: All school water tanks
should have a drainage tap at the
bottom; a supply of plastic
containers, spoons, cups, juice
containers, can openers, kettle,
Targe pot, Bev-a-Redy (or similar
product) should be kept at the
school, as well as battery operated
transistor radio and flashlights or
lanterns.
The recommendation for these
were the result of a meeting
between D.J. Cochrane, director of
education, and principals of four
schools affected by the 1971 storm.
The above items were included in a
long list of suggested measures
that would be useful.
The Board authorized the Ad-
ministrative staff to meet with the
parents of Kindergarten children
and .local trustees in areas where
Kindergarten enrolment is likely to
be fewer than 10 pupils.
W.D. Kenwell, one of the board
superintendents, thought it poss-
ible there might be two schools in
this position, however, it will not be
known until after the survey is
completed in FebruarJ he said.
To encourage outdoor programs
the Board approved tl'^ purchase of
snowshoes and otiler required
equipment for one class at a cost of
approximately $600. These could
be borrowed for use by different
schools and the pupils would be
given instruction and practice in
the use of them before preceeding
on a science field trip. This
instruction could be part of the
. physical education program,
During the fall term several
elementary school classes took part
in outdoor lessons along streams,
in woods and in open fields and it
was felt that much could be learned
by the children returning to these
areas to discover the changes
which have occurred in the plants
ar nimals. The snowshoes are
neer.. d to reach these snowbound
areas. Previously the students had
been using the 40 pairs bought by
the Outers Club at the High School
in Exeter and it was not felt to be
fair to continue borrowing this
equipment. •
A World Religious course to be
offered in 1974.75 at Central Huron
Secondary School, Clinton was
given approval in principle by the
Boa: subject to the approval of
the Ministry of Education and
enrolment requirements outlined in
board policy. Keith Allen, a
member of the history department
would be the teacher involved. Mr.
Allen assisted in the preparation of
the course outline which is being
used at South Huron Secondary
School this year. Five religions are
studied—Christianity, Judaism, Is-
is,- liuddht'smandH
Hinduism.
J.L. Wooden, principal of the
Exeter school, one of three
principals sitting in on the board
meeting, said he thought the
course a good one which broadens
the student's level, He said 50 to 60
enrolled in the course at Exeter but
there were some dropouts when
they found the course took up too
much study.
Five field trips were okayed:
* 25 to 30 students, Junior Outers
Group, at South Huron District
High School, to go on an overnight
excursion to the Hay Swamp arca
on February 15.16, at no cost to the

winter camping and survival
mpthnds.
* 20.30 students, Senior Outers
Group, South Huron District High
School, to Wawanosh Conservation
Area, on February 15-16 at a cost to
the board, charged to school

tion, The trip will provide an
opportunity to practise skiing,
snowshoeing, orienteering, over-
night camping, outdoor cooking,
meal planning and group recrca-
tional activities.
* 68 Grade 8 students, Huron
Centennial School to Ottawa on
May 7.9 at a cost to the board

Goderich District Collegiate Instit-
ute to Bruce Trail in Collingwood

The trip will provide practical
application of the various skills
learned in the outdoor education
program. The boys will sleep in
tents.
* 45 senior students, Grades 11, 12
and 13 from Goderich Collegiate to
Algonquin Provincial Park on June
12-15 to provide practical applica-
tion of the skills learned in various

the amount of gasoline used.
The 57 students at North
Ashfield Public School will contin-
ue to attend the school for the
school year 1974-75. Consideration
had been given to closing the
school and transporting all the
students to Brookside next year
when enrolment is expected to drop
to 39, The enrolment at Brookside
for 1974.75 is expected to be 406
