He states that fIc s.tUdeuts are presently tai ing a total of fourteen subjects which he feels is too much of a load for many of the students. It is "the intention 'to reduce the humber of slibiect-, with the fol- l1owing re-arrangement. This 'is accompliihed by îng- the school year of 40 into two sections of 20 each. divid- weeks weeks During the first haif there will be a concentration in the Com- munication field. This incorpor- ates al forms of the written and spoken word and use of the media of film and television. Wc want to inject our programme with short one month exposure of the childrcn to stich thîngs as Audio-, Visual techniques, Film Arts, Theatrt Arts 'and Library Tech- niques and to really deveiop as many of the skills of communica- tion as possible. Duigthé second haif, of the' year there wili be very littie for- mai teaching in the communica- tions area but the children wilI use, the skçiils that they have iearned during the first haîf of the year, in Environmental Stud- ies. For example if a group. of chiidren (5-6) visit a tobacco farm, - their report couldinclude sldes, film, tape recorded inter- view with the farmer, bookiet project, mounted specimens and the- likçe., Smalï group studies wouid be presented tQ the rest of the class ,and the, materials could be catalogued and 'stored in our Iibrary for future use and refer- ence. There are some subjects which must be presented on a continu- um because of their sequenti;al nature - such as mathemitics, physical education, music, guid- ance. These will be presented throughout the year on a regular basis. You, will realize that this is an experimental ch ange but one that wc feel will have benieficial re- sults. We feel that there is a great need for the silîs that weý are going to introduce to the hblîdren: we feelfihat they are ready for them at the 7 and 8 level;,,we feel that by giving them the know-bow their production will increase. On April1 28tb we will be hold- ing a Music Night and Open -Huse at the school. We would, like to sec as many parents as, possible attend this school fune-. tion. The newsltter also contains> an aipeal for support for the Home and Scirjol Club which bas been in. operation, for two years.

Regulations set down by the Board of Management of the Newcastle Hall were thought too -strigent by the Festival Board, and an increase in rent was con- sidered a problem.

PsllutiuOn Hit Parade Minister of flnergy and Rte- source Managcîïent, George A. Kerr, told a Port Hope audience rccently that pollution was the -number one danger on the bit parade." Speaking' at a fund-raising dia- ner on bebaif of 'the Northumber- laad-Durham Conservative Asso- ciation wherc it was introduced as "the wbiteb-.night of pollution" Mr. Kerr said it wouid be useless to ban phosphate's in Canada without similar legislatioa in the' United States. Referring te pollution in the GQreat Lakes, aï-id notab]y in Lake St. Clair,. the rainister described it as an international problem. ::Tbere is ne use in our ban- ning phosphate-ii dctergents or forbidd(inlg the uýe of* mercury compounids on this side of the forty-nini paraliel1 without cor- responding actien by our Ameri- can neigbbours," he said. Mr. Kerr said that the "mer. t-ury ,pollution situation la the Lake St, Clair region was unique in that for the first time pollution had a direct cconomic impact on a significant segment of our pop- ulation." "Too often in the past pollu- tion bas been offensive, but toi- crated because it didn't rcally bit anyone in the pocketbook," he added. He said that since these waters were really international, in char- acter governments from Michigan aeid Ohio as well as federal rep- g*esentatives of Canada :and -the United States were involved in the crisis. Coming dloser to home Mr. Kerr told the audience that hie under- stood the desire for assurance by residents of Hope Township that the proposed Wcsieyville Power Station would not contribute to Pollution in this area. "I don't think anyone nccd bc conccrncd ln this part of Ontario if a decision is made to, go nu- cîcar bere, as well as at Picker- ing," lie said. H1e stated that "if we encounter problem5 of tbis nature (pollu- tion) at Pickcringe it will hiave an important bearing ,oni what type of plant is built ini Port flopc." "If we do buiild a thiermal plant here I would think it is most lîk- ely that we would burn oil rather than coad," lie said., The minister also assured the audience that the large smoke stack to be buiit at the Hcarn gen- erating station la Toronto would noôt drop pollution on -Port Hope.
