Thus the request by the OFA for an Agricultural Develop- ment Bank which would assist the farmer much as the Industrial De- velopment Bank aids the business- man in other industries. > The OFA brief thanked the goy- ernment for the establishment of the Committee and the opportunity for an unbiased study of all as= pects of the farm marketing prob- lem. Ro Dedicated Teacher By RUSS FLEMING Recently a prominent business man of the district made this as- tute observation, 'look to the schools before considering invest- ing in a town, they contain the vi- tal ingredient which determines the future of the town's economy.' In September of 1957 Fatima Col- lege opened its doors to give stu- dents of Separate Schools of the Tri-Town area an opportunity to continue their education under the same system used for their ele- mentary schooling. Father Smith, who has been with the school since its origin in 1957, is one of the dedicated teachers and leaders who have made the success of this venture possible. He was born in Cobalt, but im- mediately moved to Timmins where he received his early edu- cation. He continued his studies at Sudbury University, and finally in the University of Ottawa' Seminary Schools. Ordained in 1950, he served his first parish in Kirkland Lake for five years. After leaving Kirkland Lake his work took him to Lorrain- ville, where he stayed a year. Being close to education, and fond of teaching, Fathér Smith de- cided to attend University of Tor- onto Teachers' College. After graduation in 1957 he came to Haileybury where he took part in the founding of Fatima College. At the start the only facilities available were in the Bishop's House where the dining room was set aside for a class room. Early in 1958 after the new sep- arate school was completed, the entire parish voluntarily redecor- 'ated and repaired the old building. . UTUS PERFORM YOUR opel EXPECTING?

The second story was closed off, and the 'heating plant improved. Easter of 1958 found the pupils established in thé refinished build- ing. The school was designed to serve the Tri-Town district, but draws pupils from as far away as Latchford, Judge, and Earlton. Father Smith is a busy man, not only does he help in the adminis- tration of the school but also teach- es Special French, Physics, Alge- bra, Latin, Geometry and Religion. He works in the new school in farm marketing are some of the important requests made in the On- close co-operation with Father La Blanc the principal who is a native of Cornwall, and with a Sister of the Assumption, who is supervisor of the girls. He says '"'the school is small, having an enrollment of 27, but af- fords a better chance to give each pupil the individual attention ne- cessary, and we are prepared to help them morally and financially in the pursuit of their choosen careers."' .Too busy for hobbies, Father Smith has some strong opinions, espécially in his own choosen field, education. "While a equipment is necessary in running a school, I would put more trust in a teacher's ability to create the proper spirit and atmosphere for the students, and impart know- ledge which will make these pupils responsible citizens. This spirit, I feel, can only be quickened by a good teacher and so I recognize the criterion of "'dedication". He also asserts "Luxuries avail- able today have upset our sense of values, and the parents are as much to blame as the children. It is a rare parent¥who dares im- pose authority upon his child, and because of this they lack direction and purpose, in their daily lives.' "Here we strive to develop in our pupils a sense of social re- sponsibility, and teach them to avoid becoming rebels in an or- ganized society."' "In the near future," he con- cluded, '"'we will begin an experi- ment with student leaders, and try to impart and demonstrate to them the value of assuming re- sponsibility for the full use of school facilities and teachings." certain amount of|I tion of the rural areas, high costs because of the need for labour- Saving equipment as a substitute for manual labour, and low prices for the farmers' products.
