Home Newspaper of Halton Hills THE HERALD JUNE A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited St South Georgetown 3C5 Ontario WILLIAM EVDOKIMOFF Publisher and Class Mall Number Watch out for 1976 Before we all join in applauding the 1975 budget which in comparison to the sky high budgets of some of our neighboring municipalities is fairly reasonable we would like to throw in a few words of caution Watch out for Very little of the future turn of events budget wise is going to depend upon the decisions of the towns personnel and finance com The region and the board of education per usual are going to be the critical areas to watch in the next year Things are not going to be as rosy one year from now as they are now according to all indications we have been able to monitor The region for example This year through a nifty bit of book keeping seemingly clear only to regional treasurer Don Farmer the region actually lowered its demands for funds from Halton Hills How they did it has us a little perplexed and judging from the comments made by our regional representatives as they voted last week to accept it we are not the only ones befuddled by it all The slight reduction In our regional assessment boils down to the method by which the town sewer surcharges are collected However according to regional councillor Morrow the system will be all straightened out by next year Our brief reprieve will end come the 1976 budget Another signal of Just how bad things might be one year from now is the large amount of funds the province has had to pour Into the region to literally bail out of a Letters to the editor potentially serious situation Even with the extra provincial support the Ontario Municipal Board had to step in to wield some unex pected power in order to keep a grim situation from getting any grimmer Few were surprised to see the province come to the aid of the region Most In fact were betting on it After all in this year of a very likely provincial election it would have been very inconvenient to show the taxpayers of Halton Just how much this regionthe pride and joy of the provincial governmentcosts to maintain Pour in some very necessary funds from the province and you can momentarily ignore the impending problem First came the start up funds now must we depend on the province for keep up funds to keep Halton operating Let not forget the board of education This year has been a relatively stable year for the Halton board as far as expenditures have been concerned thus the relatively small 3 mill increase for Hills Not so for Already the rumblings of discontent among teachers are worrying the board It is going to come to some sort of a confrontation before the board settles on its next budget At the end of the line is the towns struggling finance committee They have done a fine job in combining the town needs both present and future with the publics ability to carry the financial load Thebigjob we fear is yet to come Students visits help younger children To the Editor of the Herald In your last Issue of May Mrs Christine Louth wrote to express concern about the recent appearance of some of our students at Howard School Sinte Mra Louth appears to have misunderstood the reasons for our students visit I would like to explain how and why the visits take place I am sure everyone would agree that the learning situation is greatly enhanced when the students are highly Interested and motivated With this In mind Mrs Carol Manning of our English staff suggested that there could be much benefit gained if the short stories for children being written by her Grade Ten students were read to some Junior elementary children Her suggestion was supported by th head of the English department Mr Motmghan and enthusiastically received by the elementary principals In the area For the last three years Mra Manning students have read their compositions to small groups of primary grade youngsters Without exception the principals concerned have been pleased with the arrangement and are happy to have our students return We all feel that both groups of students have profited from the experience The high school students make the visits during the regular English class periods and spend no more than one- half hour in the elementary There are no psychological projects involved nor is there any Intention of assessing our students potential as parents or teachers The are purely and simply exercises within the English program Perhaps it should be pointed out that there are many In stances where our students work with the elementary students For example our students have helped to con duct track meets have acted as game officials have assisted In coaching have presented musical programs and special children theatre productions in addition to working with the students of the Sunshine School In every case we are convinced that the effort has been enjoyable and valuable for both elementary and secondary students Surely Mrs Louth does not suggest that all these activities should be There Is no doubt that the schools should be criticized from time to time for variety of reasons However the system which ultimately means the students will benefit most if a the criticism Is first stated to the principal concerned In a more or less private way and any public criticism Is based on complete and accurate information I am one of those educators who is responsible for sending the students to School And I take pride In the efforts of our students and In our teachers attempts to provide a valuable educational experience In closing I would like to invite any Interested parents to visit our school to discuss any aspects of the school operation Yours truly M J Furlong Principal Tribute to Gordon To The Editor of the Herald As one of the Boys or who attended the opening ceremonies for the Gordon Memorial Arena May I would like to thank the present day citizens of Georgetown for honoring such a fine person with this splendid building No name could be more appropriate Nothing would have pleased Gordon more Georgetown bad only citizens when founded The in 193S Many who live In the greatly expanded community known as Hills today may wonder why Is still revered among the original BO who made up that first league Perhaps a colleague at Toronto Star Mill said it beat of all In these words he wrote to mark the death of Charlie Conacher in I960 Conacher was one of the all time greats on The Maple Leafs and Incidentally one of the first Leafs to referee a Little NHL game In the old John St arena Why did Charlie Conacher become a legend in his time Milt asked on his death And he answered his own question In this way It wasn t easy to be growing up In Canada then Countless thousands had no Jobs They depended on a weekly food voucher to ward off starvation Those who had work lived In mortal fear of the There much room for fun and excitement not until Saturday night when Foster Hewitt opened the door on the greatest show in the country To them the kids Conacher was a symbol even more than a star He represented the hopes and dreams of kids from Halifax to Prince Rupert with holes In the seats of their pants and Eaton catalogues stuffed in their woolen stockings for shin pads those are the kids who are silver thatched executives doctors dentists bookkeepers and machinists today To them Charlie Conacher was the greatest Well said Milt That was It exactly And what you sold so well for Charlie Conacher applies as well to Gordon Like Conaihcr Gordon held out the hope the dream for the kids of his day Even more important he provided the help JnmeiW Brampton VIEWPOINT Aid for hyperactive children By Gerry rough of I If you are the parent of estimated ISO to Canadian children who suffer from hyperactivity or the condition of hyperkinesia the research of Benjamin may be of special Interest to you formerly the chief of the allergy department of the Kaiser Medical Centre in San Fran Cisco has developed a special diet that has had amazing results with hyperactive children The diet that Is now pining recognition throughout the world known as the KP diet a pediatrician and allergist discovered that by removing all artificial food colouring and artificial flavour tag from the patient a diet remarkable personality and behavioral changes occurred The hyperactive child often throws temper tantrums has difficulty sleeping eating learning responding to discipline or even sitting still for a few minutes These children are often placed on strong medication as a means of controlling the condition Felngold discovered that percent of all hyperactive children could achieve normal or near normal behavior by useofthedletand within a month could stop the medication During the research one child was found to always act up when he ate anything with artificial grape flavor In it Another youngster had the reaction to anything with artificial orange flavour in It These foods included gelatins icecream lollipops candy coated medicine and artificially flavoured medicine One candy bar loaded with additives colour aid flavours can make a predisposed the roof and It might take him a week to come down said Dr Felngold Dr John Maclennan director of the allergy clinic at Hamilton General Hospital said We are being This he said is particularly dangerous to children because of the aocollcd kid foods such as hot dogs cereals desserts cake mixes soft drinks candles potato chips etc that usually contain some form of artificial colour and artificial flavour The diet eliminates these foods Group 1 of the diet Is made up of apples peaches oranges berries two vegetables to mo toes and cucumbers Group II is made up of all foods that contain thetic color or flavor who is years of age has worked for years designing allergic diets for allergic children One youngster who was found by an allergist to act up each year after returning from vacation was found to be allergic to the fumes of floor wax used in the school Research has shown that since the Increase in convenience foods hyperactivity has also been on the Increase Dr developed the diet at the Kaiser Research Institute He devised no testa to discover which sub stance the child was reacting to Instead It Is necessary to start the diet by eliminating every food that might the child from Group 1 and Group 11 Because the diet eliminates many of the foods that have little nutritive value it ex for the whole family It brings back the days before convenience foods and very often nutritious meals to the table with the extra benefit of calmer happier children It would appear to be well worth looking into A word of caution though always check with your family physician before starting In the long run your physician always knows what la best for you and your family A cast of one Believe me it looks more than it Is Three weeks this blasted
