Students WaIk-out A good number of students at the Clarke High School walkedl out of classes on Monday morning in protest to the fact that settlement in negotiations between the board and teachers has not improved and voluntary ser- vices are still lacking for extra-curricular activities at the school. Many of the students who did leave the school Monday morning did however return to classes with the weather possibly having a part to play in the return. In the afternoon there were possibly one hund- red absent from classes. The negotiating teams of both the teachers and the board settled nothing at a Board-teachers gain nothing meeting on Sunday which helped to stir up the students further. The fact that extra-curri- cular programs may now be directed by adult students or voluntary persons was not enough for the students.

He states that the council is nuetral in the matter and had nothing to do with the walk-out. He said he could be sure it would not happen again but understood that the school was applying the clamps on the students to arest any further walk-outs. He informed us ail LOSSA events had been cancelled for the area schools and that this certainly affected both the junior Volleyball team and the football team at Clarke.

Woodyard of the Township that the land for the second well in the south of the Village had been cleared for use by the Ontario Water Resources Commission. The proper deed is almost ready and ownership can now be turned over to the depart- ment. With the ownership of the land on which the well is to be constructed the depart- ment can proceed with the arrangements for the well by first calling tenders. The Trustees felt they would like to be able to have this work underway prior to the time regional government would take over. The Trustees have an amount of some $30,000.00to apply against the costs of the new well when it is constructed. It was reported that all the houses now in the Orono Estates development have been connected to the Orono Water System and that all homes except four are being lived in. In regards water charges attentive aucience and nio the Trustees increased con- doubt the ideas presented at nection charges from $100 to the school will be reflected in $175 and set a per foot charge daily menus througrhout the of $9.00 a foot for new lots area for some time to come. created along existing water mains. drawing for new Cia rke -school At the regular meeting of the Northumberland and Dur- ham Board of Education on Thursday evening-the Board gave their approval to the working drawing for the Clarke Senior Elementary School which now goes before the Ministry of Education for their approval to call tenders for the work. The school, is intended to house students in Clarke Township and Newcastle of, grades 7 and 8 and is to be constructed on land now owned by the Board at the Clarke High School site on ighway 115. Lt is expected that the school may be ready for occupancy on September lst, 1974 and thus would relieve overcrowding-.at the Orono Public School where classes would exist from ikindergarten to and including grade six. The new school will include eight classrooms and one room each for science, instru- inental music art industrial arts home economics, library resource, general purpose with stage, change rooms with showers, guidance comnplex, health complex and a lunch room. The proposal bas received tentative approval from the Ministry of Education. During the month of Sept- ember, dental staff of the District Health Unit devoted theirientire time to this project. This marks the se- cond school year in which mouth protection -bas been promoted in this way. Last year, 1100 students were fitted with custom made mouth- guards. This service is provided by carrying out "Mouthguard Clinies" right in the High School and Senior Elementary Schools. At these clinics, individual impressions are taken of the students' upper teeth. This is an ideal Public Health activity since it can be carried out "en masse" with over 100 impressions taken per hour. It is also preventive dentistry, since dental health is being promoted and pro- tected. From these impres- sions, custom made mouth- guards are fabricated at our laboratory set up in the Cobourg office. Statistics provided by the School Insuranceacarrier for Northumberland and Durhamn Counties have been utilized to evahiate this project. In studying these statistics it can be seen that this project bas indeed been worthwhile. in that the number of claims for dental injuries in contact sports in the two counties have been reduced 50 percent in the last year.
