This is a decrease of almost 50 per cent over last year. Mr. Wells said that the new limit recognizes the declining demand for teachers in Ontario. This June 810 new teachers will graduate from the College's Toronto and Hamilton campuses. The Ministry has been reducing enrolment at the College by about 25 per cent a year over the last three years. Mr. Wells said that enrolment at the Toronto campus will be limited to 300 and at Hamilton to 150. In addition to the basic teacher education program, the 450 candidates accepted will also have the opportunity to obtain additional qualifications in areas where there is a demand for teachers, such as teaching French and English as a second language, special education, and multiculturalism. _ NEED A FLIP FLASH?

A discussion followed and it was unanimously agreed that there is a lot of work to be done in our community concerning this very important matter. A committee was set up to do a further study. The Minister said that those seeking enrolment at the College will not be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis. In order that the most suitable candidates may be selected, those seeking enrolment will be interviewed by a committee composed of College staff, Ontario Teachers' Federation representatives, principals, and active teachers.

Colborne &t THE TREASURE OF SILENCE By Iona MacLean Silence is a rare commodity in our lives. With the din of traffic, the chatter of voices and the drone of radio and television, we seldom find out what true silence is. We are afraid of silence. We feel that we have to fill the void with some kind of noise, even if it is only idle chatter. Sometimes, silence means anger and it overwhelms us. Sometimes, silence can be moody or sullen and it makes us - feel uncomfortable. All too often, in our hurried lives, we miss the richness of silence and the healing of solitude. We need time to withdraw, time to discipline our minds and tongues in quiet. In these periods of withdrawal, we ca n come closer to God. We can let Him regulate our lives. The Psalm says, "Be still and know that I am God." As one writer has put it, "We owe it to ourselves to find time for God." Being quiet is not an end in itself, but it allows us to listen to what God has to say to us. Being quiet frees us for the moment from the cares and pressures of our daily world and gives us opportunity to receive strength and direction from God. There are some experiences that are too d^ep for words, and even too deep for tears. Quietness is not to be equated with emptiness. A quiet church has an atmosphere of prayer and peace. It is a moving experience when the congregation is silent in prayer and meditation together. The quiet mind is not empty but feeds itself on the word of God. drawing closer through prayer to the mind of Christ. Lent is an appropriate time for silence, for withdrawing from the mainstream of life for a bit in order to store up resources for going back into the mainstream. As we consider the events of Jesus' life leading up to His crucifixion and resurrection, it is helpful for us, in quiet, to strengthen our commitment to Him. "Silence is golden" and it can be a rich experience, enabling us to live life to the fullest. greatly in recent years. Pakistanis'and S.E. Asians are asking the government for assistance in getting jobs with more "clout". Family and Consumer Affairs - Mrs. N. Welton gave several safety tips on fire safety. With renewed interest in wood burning stoves these cautions were so directed. Public Relations - Mrs. G. Carr brought a menu from a banquet she attended in Belleville in 1926 or 27 for the Tweedmuir History. The program was turned over to Mrs. J. Osborne. The rollcall was answered with an earliest memory by 13 members and 3 visitors. Several wedding pictures were passed around and everyone enjoyed it very much. There was one house log and perhaps many will get busy on preparing one for next year. To demonstrate the motto "The written word preserves our heritage - when memory fails", the group was divided into two. Each side was handed a written message and read this to her neighbor. the neighbor whispered it to her neighbor frorr . memory and so on till the final person who then repeated what she heard aloud. The message had been taken from the Tweedsmuir History. "The Castleton Women's Institute was formed in 1905 with Mrs. Raymond Walt as president". It was proved to be more fun telling others but more accurate to read. Mrs. J. Osborne read an entry from the Tweedsmuir History, and then introduced the guest speaker, Mr. Cam Christie of the Colborne Chronicle. Mr. Christie was interested in gathering material for his newspaper to commemorate Heritage Week. He gave valuable information on ways to gather material then organize it into writing and finally condense it for a finished piece to preserve. There was a lively discussion and exchange of memories of the past during the lunch which followed the Institute Grace. Mrs. W.J. Tait, Mrs. F. Banks and Mrs. N. Welton served a delicious assortment of sandwiches and cookies.
