PAGE 18, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2 1,ý 1984, WHITBY FREE PRESS Board of Education looks at teacher nternshi The question of teacher internship provoked debate about the responsibility of the Durham Board of Education and the initiative it should be prepared to take. The internship for teachers fresh out of university would be similar to probationary penid required for doc- tors and lawyers. It would entail more time spent in front of studen- ts for recent graduates of teacher colleges. The motion was presented to the board by Pickering Trustee Lynda Dionne who thought the internship would be a valuable tool for teachers in Ontario. Dionne got the idea from an educational report J'ndicating the idea had been suc- cessful in Alberta-and. the United States. In the ensuing debate the question raised several points as to the responsibility of the board of education.

"If there is a problem with the training 0f- teachers it is the responsibility of the universities, not the board," said Brown. Other . trustees believed that the board should take the initiative.

Trustee Larry Corrigan was sceptical about anything "lthat Corrigan questioned the idea from the teachers point of view and the extra cost for them. Corrigan said that many students are forced to borrow money to complete university and an internship would mean more financial pressure.

First,' I would like to bring your attention to the upcoming National Alzheimer's Awareness Week which is Nov. 18 to 24. Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder which causes degenerative changes in brain tissue. It can strike anyone from age 40 onwards and currently it affliets over 200,000 Canadians. It is regarded as the fourth or fifth most common cause of death in this country. National Alzheimer's Awareness Week involves a country-wide program which aims to increase public understanding of this disease and to provide information regarding help and support available for victims and their families. In conjunction with this effort the Durham Society is undertaking a number of initiatives locally, and I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to learn about Alzheimer's disease. Second, I would like to outline the substance of the private member's public bill that 1 wil be submit- ting to Parliament thissession. The purpose of the bill is to amend the Criminal Code of Canada- to restore capital punishment for first-degree murder and high treason, while substituting a more humane mode of execution for hanging. The method of' execution which would be ordered by the bill is a lethal injection of sodium thiopentol. I wish to niake one point very clear. I have. in- cluded a clause in the bill which would require that there be at least one witness or definite facts to prove the guilt of the accused before the sentence of capital punishment can be pronounced. No one should receive this sentence on the basis of circuni- stantial evidence. Therewould a "lso,.be the potentialfor the Gover-1,ý nor General in Council to commute a sentence of death to imprisonnient for" life in cases wher'e a majority of the jurors who found the person guilty of the offence recommended in favour 0f comnmuting the sentence. Capital punishment would apply not only in cases where the victim is a police officer, a prison guard or a person employed in that line of work. It would apply to ail cases in which the murder is planned and deliberate.

It would help to know, as you pay rising prices for clothes, how long a * garment can be expec- ted to last. The International Fabricare Institute, a worldwide association of drycleaners and launderers, has pubhished wîth the Bet- ter Business Bureau a list of textile life expec- tancies. These standar- ds take into account changes in fashion, fabric characteristics and normal account of wear and tear. 5 Years: formai wear, leather coats. tablecloths. 4 Years: jackets, sport coats, wool slacks. 3 Years: sweaters, robes, raincoats, sport shirts, dresses. 2 Years: cotton or synthetic suits, dress shirts, children's wear. Older garments are still useful, but the fabrics are notas sturdy or the colors sharp, and they will soul more easily. Taking good care of your clothes will add years to their service. Regular cleaning will prevent, a build-up of soil, which weakens fabrics. Drycleaning is gentler on fabrîc finishes and colors than washing. Steani pressing helps fabrics retain their luster and feel., Stop in at K & M Cleaners and make buying clothes a little cheaper!
