PAGE B2, THE HERALO, Wednesday. February 3, 1977

Hello once again CBers!
Toolie back at you again this
week, I'd like to thank you
all for the many fine words
that you have expressed
over last week's inaugural
column. It is hoped that the
future ones may be worthy
of like comments.

The meeting last Thur-

sday was well attended,
with good reports from
standing an special

committees, We are for-
tunate to see from the
number of new members
processed that the ranks of
the B.B.C. are still moving
ahead in a very strong
wave. It was also a pleasure
to have as a guest with us
“Cedar Wouldn't”.

For those of you who have
not caught it on our nightly
net, the procedure to follow
for membership application
is to have your sponsor or
yourself contact ‘‘Little
Mama” on channel 11 and
have all the paperwork
completed BEFORE the
next meeting (the one at
which time your application
will be read out to the
members).

During the discussion of
the Valentine’s Dance, the
membership decided to
have it as an open dance.
That is, the public ma
attend. With a live (7) band,
food and the extra added
feature of all that com-
pansionship as well as the
many prizes that will be

iven away, there can be no
iner entertainment
available for the $7 per
person that is being
charged. ALL the proceeds
from this dance, like all the

Breaker 19

proceeds from our club
activities throughout the
year are donated to charity.
Come out and have a good
time — Saturday, February

12,
For the heavy stuff this
week we would like to start
off with a subject that most
newcomers are not familiar
with at all, and quite often
violate: SECRECY OF
COMMUNICATIONS.

GRS (C) operators and
other persons who become
acquainted with non-
broadcast radiocom-
munications are bound to
preserve the secrecy of
correspondence. No person
shal] divulge the contents of,
make use of, or even
acknowledge the existence
of correspondence tran-
smitted, received or in-
tercepted by a radio station,
except to the addressee of
the message or his ac-
credited agent, or to
properly authorized officials
of the ‘Government of
Canada, a competent legal
tribunal, or an operator of a
telecommunications system
as is necessary for the

‘furtherance or delivery of

the communications. The
foregoing restrictions do not
apply to messages of
distress, urgency or safety
or to messages addressed to
‘All Stations’, weather
reports, storm warnings and
notices to navigation.

Any person whe violates
the secrecy regulation is
liable, on summary con-
viction, to a fine not ex-
ceeding $2,500, or to im-
prisonment for a term not
exceeding 12 months or to

‘Kelowna. If you are

both fine and imprisonment.

The receeding | two
paragraphs are quoted from
the official General Radio
Service Handbook
printed by the Department
of Communications. The
point of it all is this: If you
are sandbagging or rub-
bernecking on a channel, it
is a direct violation to pass
on any information that you
might have eavesdropped
on. It is an offence contrary
to the Radio Act to divulge
any information and the
offended operator could
press charges.

The Sunday afternoon
coffee breaks at the Sand-
man Inn are going very
well. Attendance has been
way up. Many new faces
have been presented, some
out-of-towners. We are sorry
to learn that the manager of
the Sandman has sought
greener pasture and left
Terrace yesterday for
rough
that town, lock him up and
say hello.

These coffee breaks are
not restricted to B.B.C.
members. They are an
excellent opportunity to
meet the personalities
behind the skip handles that
one hears on the air. Drop

in; Sundays, 3 to 5 in the |

afternoon in the banquet
room (downstairs) at the
Sandman Inn. ‘

Well, that time has rolled
around again, I have to back
on out of here, so we'll pass
you the good numbers and
catch you on the side. This is
XM 14-962 ORT.

the 54 year history of
Christmas Seals in British

paign total $495,000, slightly
ishort of the $620,000 target,
but $43,000 more than in
1974, when the British

Campaign had its best year
ever, with contributions
totalling $552,000.

NORTH WEST AREA

This is Roger.

He is in Grade 4
at school. No
other child in his
class is the same.
No other child

anywhere is

exactly the same.

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation favors an
education system that challenges children
to learn reading and writing and other
skills to the best.of each child's ability.

. ,.. but it rejects the idea of a single core

. _. curriculum that ignores differences in

children. A single core curriculum also
neglects many important life skills.

‘Everyone |

knows that no
- two fingerprints

are the same

~ Because such a curriculum is designed to
fit the mythical average child, it fits almost
no one. Reading courses are as basic a
need as shoes but ne one would insist on
the same ill-fitting average-sized shoe for
every child in B.C.

You can’t tell by looking at him, but Roger
has reading disabilities that require special -
reading methods. Other children in Grade
4 at his school have special needs too.

Joanne is partially deaf. Bob is slow to
grasp math. Tony is a new Canadian who
is just learning to speak English. May has
emotional problems caused by a troubled
home environment. Barbara reads at a
Grade 9 level, although she is in Grade 4.
Her classmates show the usual range from
Grade 2 to Grade 8 reading ability. Dan
comes to school hungry every morning
from a poverty-stricken home. Faye has
an eye co-ordination problem. John has a
mathematical mind. Garry learns

very slowly.

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation supports
testing that helps to diagnose children’s
needs and to find ways of helping them
learn, but it rejects province-wide tests that
ignore differences and make a mockery of
individualized learning. . ,

To prescribe that every child must reach a’ ~
set standard regardless of mental and
‘physical gifts or impairments, is a gross
| . ‘violation of children’s rights. nO
' . Roger.and Joanne and Bob and Tony
and May and Barbara and Dan and
Faye and John and Garry are not *
peculiar, They are just examples of the
differences normally found among
children. It’s normal for children (like
fingerprints) to be different.

Such a strategy is comparable to setting |
the high jump bar at four feet and insisting -
that all children jump it, knowing full welt
that some will never make it while others
will surpass five or even six feet.

Curriculum should be developed locally.

Does it make sense to use the Tests should be made locally.

same curriculum and the same
test for educating all these
children? |
