Page 10 THF HERALD Wednesday June It 1ST LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Look at sex education renaissance vicechairman says To editor Herald It appears that trustee Bill of the Board of needs a report on what is going on In the sex education classes In and some assurances that the incidents related in the Canadian Magazine are ex The Canadian Magazine of course carried an article by Kathleen on the incidents that the J most of which savoury that the Superintendent of Programme Bruce Mather made the remark that he would be appalled if hi ever found out that inciter those described in the zinc were happening in It is indeed a sorry situation when the Superintendent of Programme and trustcs cannot be sure of what is going on in their classrooms And this is the whole crux of the matter not only the sex but in every class for each interprets the wide open guidelines in any fashion he or she thinks fit The curious phenomenon occurs whereby the teacher who are guilty of overstepping the art defended by the principal the administration he Board and the concerned falls over to assure that ensure will not be used against him her to Ihedetrlmtnt of his her carer Nothing is said about the

actions of he Library Board and Council with re spect to the proposed new It was disappointing the netting of Council Board and dissidents on June to find most councillors and the whole of the board ignoring the resolution on Mas had the pathetic spectacle of councillors who had voied that the Library Board be advised council and the public at large are opposed to location of the new libnrv the chosen site and request the Board to re Council resolution of this mailer saving that the never realty The Board showed no of ruction in response to ist part of that Ma y2 proposed the joint meeting wiih represent lilies of the disi the cation or re local i or addition to the old one When this meeting on June opened the Ma ruled that on one rcpre scniativc from the petitioners an one from the Board would be allowed to sptak Some councillors then declared their unequivocal support for proposal before else spoke It was von after the meeting begin thai major itv Council had closed minds and thai the met ting was be a token sop to the petitioners There was no discussion plans for I hi proposals in the possession of the Board were not available but the plans for the new library which had arrived that after noon and consisted of a dozen sketches and a handsome model which conveniently left out any ugly parking were enough to convince council to them and order a building permit to be issued as soon as the detailed plans were able It wis no wonder the taxpayers ell by this failure to allow the effective discussion Ihe hid been pro reacted iccord The majority who for the ale

parents with small children However there is some comfort In knowing that the lake not a total hazard there is a area which is guarded in the afternoons and a wading pool for smaller children There ire many other areas whit have been used in the swimming areas some of which are quite I would like to point out some of these areas in hopes of preventing water this summer This area near the wading pool is used by a lot of teenagers This area Is not guarded and there is a large drop off just few feet from shore As a result people mistake as a good diving area diving from the edge or and even tables However the water is very murky and many obstacles besides the seaweed such an rocks log and bottles etc arc found there These could be very dangerous and should be a voided Sudden drop in the lake could be dangerous for Oncislo across from the wading pool In Subdivision and another at the end of Imore Drive If you are going lo swim your own risk in these areas may we suggest that you supervise your children and perhaps mark the drop off areas with a bottle The beach area and the Wading Pool will be open July Islfrom I dally Whatever one chooses lo deduce from these figures Ihey

Hit town as a whole I ihil most people would agree that improved library facilities ire desinble Hie Council has hid lo expert in matter They the light of his the si file However in so doing they have chosen to ignore the fears and of over peti who mainly for en vironmtnl reasons object to location as a site for the Library There are no doubt miny more persona of Ihe mind who or one reast or did not gel lo sign petition Without rt slating the fie objections to Ihe pi in bee iuse of ftthnt the Council should hive public met ting at which architect s projections for this area are revtaltd so that their probable effect can be this mcclmg it would be useful and informative to I lit modification plans for present library which wtre superseded projetl In this manner decision library public might obtain a better chance to assess the pros and cons of both plans It would seem Council and the Library Board owe Ihe public al least that Serjeantson states library position phont calls why I I supporied the libriry I feel is on council I an lion I fully support tht of WiOOOOOO from lot levies MOO debenture to improve our iry tits This of per ivtric household yearly for next vt irs is lenl v
