2. ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29th, orono weekly ti mes Second lass Mail Registration Number 6368 Published eve-fy Thursday at the office of publication NOW ITS FRENCHc There appears every indication that some factions of the County School Board are intent on introducing french to students in Kindergarten and grade one and to expand this to other grades on a graduai basis.s The introduction of french when considered as an individual f subject at this formative level of education possibly has great r menit. But education is a package deal already and a haif hour of french a day must take away from some other subject or phase of education.è It has been stated that lit lis notknown just where they will cut back or what they will eliminate to make room for the french 1 course. The High Schools, Commuivity Colleges and Universities, i in many cases, are saying that the basics of education, reading, r writîng and math are already suffering. They state that stuçlents E do arrive at the various levels of education ill-prepared in the f basies. If this is the case then another inroad on the time table and an further emphasis away from the basics could prove. undesirable. It must also be considered just how effective the french programn can be and to what extent the program is to go. The cost, we would imagine, would total a considerable amount c and for, a water-down program it would not just be warranted. t There are pressures today to extend french in the Canadian Society and in fact in the Montreal area in predominate English sector students are attending French language schools for a complete emersion in the language. This trend has almost in instances eliminated English i Schools in the English sectors of the city. The case in Montreal is differentto that in this area but it does note the pressures upon the s people and especîally English speaking people to become c bilingual.t In this area we are afraid the prog ram will be a watered down program, costly and one that could well infringe on the basics subjects of the educational system.

Owing to, the hot, dry summer it was thought there would be a smail showing of flowers. However, everyone, must have searched a bit harder for there was a very good dîsplay. Although it was not a good year for snap- dragons and nasturtiums most classes were well filled. Mrs. Zegers, winner of the Eaton trophy, showed that a lot of garden flowers are not a necessity for making arrang- ements. She simply used wild flowers and grasses and displayed beautiful entries. Ail the arrangement classes were well filled and we were pleased to, have new exhibitors in these. Giadys Brown provided a pleasing background of taped organ, music prior to and af ter the meeting and presentation of prizes. Mn. and Mrs. Harry Jose, of Newcastle, had judged the exhibits and the president had asked Mr. dose to give somne comments on the entries and also some pointers on exhibit- ing them. First of ail he said to make sure you read the prize list carefully. If the class calis for three Blooms of petunias be sure you don't have( three sprays and thus 7 or 8 blooms. Tie up your gladioli at sundown to help straighten the stems. One member asked if the extra stem on a gladiolus spike should be lef t on or broken off. She admitted to having taken them off but didn't know whether it was permissible. It is! In the cup and saucer arrangement Mr. dose said one cup had no saucer. The lady said she had forgotten to take it out of the box. Good humour prevailed throughout the meeting espe- cially when Everett Brown, having won the most points for vegetables, said he had al- ways wanted to get hold of some of Carl Billings money. On thanking Mr. dose for his comments Evertt said he thought it was only Holstein exhibitors who had tricks up their sleeves. The President asked for a show of hands regarding a colour tour either by bus or in cars. This is open for suggest- ion and will be discussed later. Mr. and Mrs. Stephens, Dist- rict directors were present. Mrs. Stephens announced -the District meeting will be held at Rock Haven, Peterborough on OCtober 27. She congratul- ated the local Society on it's well marked flower beds and suggested a projeet such as promoting a flower for the town. .
