They can be found in the same western provinces pavilion as last summer on ile Notre-Dame close to the quebec pavilion. In the eyes of the organizers it is more important to stir the curiosity and stimulate the fantasies of visitors than to present a static exhibition of written folklore, For Man and His World they have chosen the most popular legends whose origins are largely native to Quebec and displayed them in three- dimensional fashion. The pavilion comprises 7 sections arranged in a novel manner. In the entrance visitors learn how people of the Middle Ages hungered for tales about odd events. These stories were then reshaped in New France and voila! Legends of Quebec. In The legends of Quebec are funny, racy, and full of life. For the most part of European origin, they have acquired with time and constant re-telling an authentic Quebec flavor which brings out the nature of the Quebecois. The office is equipped with an early Hoe cylinder press which was donated to the Village by W. B. Murkar, former publisher of the Pickering News, and two Washington flat bed presses. The printing office is now in a portion of the Kettleby Temperance Hall, which was moved to the Village in 1967 and which was originally built about 1855. For many years, the Hall served as the location of almost all community meetings, in- cluding social, religious and political gatherings. MAN AND HIS WORLD Local village printers such as those represented by the Black Creek Printing Office played an important part in shaping the development and culture of this province and country. Black Creek Pioneer Village is located at Jane St. and Steeles Ave. in nor- thwest Metro Toronto and is administered by the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. Black Creek printer Jack McBride will explain to visitors the philosophy of the early printers and their desire for a free press, as well as newspapers which told the whole truth- sometimes regardless of the consequences which were bound to ensue. The pioneer printer and the important role he played in the pre-Confederation community will be highlighted during special weekend events featuring printing in Canada West during weekends in August at Black Creek Pioneer Village. Dr. Colquhoun said this advice, reaffirmed and transmitted to the mem- bership periodically during the intervening six years, Pioneer printer their patientl. The om has been ao- tively promoting the concept of doctors dealing directly with their patients since March 1985. Dr. Colquhoun said. At that time, on the eve of government’s direct in. votvement in medical ser- vices insurance, the OMA published a document which said in part: "The policy of the Association still recognizes the right of every doctor to choose his method of remuneration. Never, theless it is recommended that each doctor assess his own position ... and em deavour to implement in his practice the policy of dealing directly with the patient."

The Black Creek Printing shop was recently made an honorary member of the 147- member Ontario Weekly Newspaper Association. This association provides several services to its member papers including the organization of educational seminars on such topics as advertising, editorial, and management operations, as well as serving as a con- sultant on such things as plant operations and setup. It also has an extensive group buying program under which it purchases supplies in bulk for its members. By the 1820's, the southern part of the province was fairly well settled, and printers were operating their own shops in several towns. Newspapers multiplied, and magazines and books which had usually been imported from Europe began to be printed here. Printing was introduced into Upper Canada as an instrument of government shortly after the province was formed in 1791. At that time, a few thousand settlers were breaking ground on the river and lake shore between Montreal and Detroit along the edge of a seemingly impenetrable forest which stretched north and west. The Hoe press was originally owned by the British Whig newspaper founded in Kingston in 1849, and was later used at the Whitby Gazette and the Pickering News. It has the capacity to print 1,250 newspaper sheets per hour, as compared to a maximum of 100 sheets per hour for the Washington presses. The fourth part The principle of professional people dealing directly with those they serve has the approval of the Minister of Health, Dr. Colquhoun claimed.,He said On the basis of this knowledge and experience the OMA determined that the long-term interests of the patients would be best served if doctors dealt directly with them in all matters. This principle has been enshrined in amend. ments to the medicare legislation passed by the Ontario Legislature this week." was carefully thought out.

Instruction should never be constricted by the four walls of the school building. Not only should resource personnel from the outside world be brought into the school, but students should also be given an opportunity to pursue their studies and ob- servations beyond the school building. It is fully recognized that teaching children to accept responsibility begins in the home. The school, however, must also accept its share of the task of developing a sense of responsibility and self-discipline in the students. Greater emphasis should be placed on establishing guidelines for student behaviour. There is too much permissiveness at the present time. According to one of the mothers, it was all the children's idea. "I had no idea what they were up to," laughed Mrs. C. Dawson. "I looked out at my backyard and there it was." The children, ranging in ages from 10 to 14, organized a fishpond, white elephant, various games and sold suggestions raised during the discussions of these meetings: The children of St. Lucie Drive organized a carnival last Wednesday to help children suffering from Muscular Distrophy. The TTC admitted last week that the bunching of buses on a transit route is a serious problem. But the commission officials claimed it is not always the fault of the bus drivers.

Should the school prepare the child for a job per se or There was a great diversity in the opinions expressed regarding the range of curriculum. On the one hand it was stated that subject choices are too wide and that students need stricter limits, with greater emphasis being placed on the basic skills. On the other hand, it was suggested that schools should offer an even greater variety of options. Greater emphasis should be placed on guidance, particularly at the elementary school level. community and parental involvement in the schools is desirable. This might be accomplished through more frequent parent-teacher meetings, parents offering to assist teachers on a volun- tary basis, and establishing consultative committees in all schools. Prime movers behind this were: Carolyn and Susan Hobson, Jane and Julie Spooner, Ricky and Gary Ashton, and Mary and Helen Dawson. Who says" summer holidays are a waste of time, anyway? They did it because they “wanted to help out".

Some participants suggested greater emphasis be placed on individual student research while others suggested fewer projects be required of students. Cooksvillo 27F7663 Various styles of dress and grooming should be accepted providing students are neat and tidy. Should the compulsory school leaving age remain at sixteen years? Or shduld it be lowered or raised? T There is a need for dromin centres with parent in- volvement. should the school have a broader function? Should education be limited to the academic aspect or should there be social and cultural goals? Mr. Kearn said the only real remedy would be the introduction of exclusive bus lanes on the street. Eglington Ave. in the past has been suggested for an exclusive bus lane route. Metro Transportation Committee has yet to con- sider the idea. The habit of transit passengers wanting to board the first vehicle that comes along is another important factor in bunching, ac- cording to Tic officials. Little success has been experienced by the TIC in trying to get people to not crowd on an already over- crowded bus. particularly to transit patrons waiting to board a bus going in the opposite direction. Mr. Kearns said a delayed change of a traffic signal light or a surge of passengers at one stop, or a traffic accident are among the factors that can cause the bunching of transit vehicles. httiortng the appointment of Mr. Campbell to a higher position tn the chain.
