The majority of these kills took place during the months of October, November and December when the bucks are most active in the rutting season. However, the Kill in April, May and June was also high. Deer prefer the hours of subdued light, on moonlight nights they may feed all night, but in the dark of the moon they are most active during twilight and dawn. It is during these hours that . vehicle drivers should keep a sharp lookout for these animals, especially where the roads are posted as deer crossing areas. Average - damage to vehicles in collision with deer amounts to $250.00 with some accidents ending in a complete write off of the vehicle. > HAVE YOU?... g at your aoweofiough Leaks anol beockages Se cout toad 1b Aveathus We Offer a GENERAL CONTRACTING All Types of Construction 1: f OGTR SGT NTA I BL FI CIEL] Estimates REE © Delivery oxpansie soof damog e?

We feel it is time for teachers to make known to the general public their position on some of the questions that have been raised, not as complaints, but because we feel that what is happening in our schools is important to the public. Much of the discussion has revolved around the pupil-teacher ratio, ~ whichstates therelationshipofteachersinaschool. It should be noted that a number of people who do not teach classes are included in the calculation; the principal, the principal, the vice-principal, all guidance counsellors, and liberatians are nevertheless counted as teachers. Inthesecondary school portionof the Port Perry High School in 1971-72, there is one teacher for every 16.7 students; in 1972 - 73, there will be one teacher forevery 17.6students. This does not mean, however, that there are 17 students in a class. Infact, astudentwouldrarelybe in an academic class as small as 20; 30 to35iscommon, and 40 or more is not impossible. If a teacher sees a class of 30 students for a 40-minute period, and spends that entire period helping individuals (arareoccurrence, because lessons must be taught to the whole class), each student would receive on)y one minute and twenty seconds of the teacher's time. ; = The Ontario County Board of Education has announced that in 1972-73, the student-teacher ratio must goup, which will mean that even less time is availablefor theindividual student. Who will be hurt by this? The student -- -'and no-one else! . For your consideration, here is another ratio which has not to our knowledge previously been published. All the following information has been taken from the Ontario County Board of Education Teachers' Manual (1971-72). InOntario County, thereare 2,257 teachers (including principals, vice principals, guidance counsellors and libarians). The Ontario County Board of Education has 91 administrators (not including their secretaries or principals and vice-principals) -- one administrator for every 24.8 teachers. Surely teachers, as adults and professionals, do not need this much supervision, in addition to principals and vice principals. Moreimportant, however, isthefactthatadministrators are paid more than teachers. If the government spending ceilings make it necessary to save mone, why can the Board of Education not cut back on the number of administrators, and use the money saved to benefit directly those who are the core of the educational system -- the students? If you feel concerned, we hope that you will contact your local member of the Board of Education. The Staff, Port Perry High School $ »
