Dave Smith and Alec Robertson are the two boys doing most of the work. They say they like it better that way because each one knows what he's supposed to do and there's no conflict. I was talking to Anna Lee and she says that she has been talking to Mr. Shaw and arrangements have been made to get both a juke box and a pop machine down in the lounge when it is completed. She also hopes that the floor will be carpeted, if not with new carpet, with old pieces that people donate. Besides old carpet scraps, the lounge needs any old furniture that anyone might have lying around. if you have either of these things and want to get therm off your hands just contact the high school. would mean the extension of Brantford and Elizabeth Street, and. its connection to Spading Street.

He was born on August 11 and is spring, with only the odd remark being made about future plans for a trailer park in that area. Clerk Robert Franlin says a park is a long-range plan that depended on the need for more housing and that the town would like to see a developer take over the project. twelve years of agg. He lives in Brazil. Each student in the home ec class gives one dollar a month and this money clothes and feeds the child and his family. It's funny that so little can provide so much. The girls adopted the two boys . through the Christian Children's Fund of Canada. Miss Teskey, the home economics teachers, arranged it all. Councillor Jim Crocker says the extension of Spading Street would make another exit out of town. The town, he' said, doesn't have a goal as far as when the taller .park will be set up and it could be built in stages as the need arose. A Need "1 think there is a need in a lot of communities for this type of housing, as far as young people starting out are concerned", he said. Mobile homes have improv- ed 'so much that they're' an attractive alternative to perma- nent houses, he said. As tar as trailer parks go they are a good way to control' development so there aren't trailers scattered .throughout an area. Also certain uniform stand- ards can be established in a trailer park, fie said. "Certainly it's not an answer for everybody, but at least it gives them a choice," He said council felt a trailer SDHS is planning a variety night, just like it used to have years ago. So far the event is only in the planning stages but Anna Lee Stevenson hopes it can be presented sometime after Christmas. Anyone who can sing, act, dance, read a writing or almost anything is welcome, to sign the list in the office. Even if you don't have talent, you can sign up for makeup or props or whatever. SDHS Holds Dance The first dance this year was held itrthe school gym last Friday night, September 26 with Mackenkie playing. The SDHS president, was really pleased with' the crowd that turned up. The band cost $500 and she said that even after that amount was paid.; a profit of $390 had been made. The next dance is scheduled for October 24 with Bootleg playing. Let's hope the next dance is as great a success as the last one. Student Spotlight What better' student to feature in our first spotlight than the president of our student's council, Anna Lee Stevenson? Anna Lee is a level four student. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mr.s Stuart Stevenson of R.R.#2, Brussels. Anna Lee is seventeen. years of age and her birthday is August 17. She plays the baritone in the band but other than that she hasn't much time for school , activities. (By Mary Lammerant) Wednesday the cross country team went to .g meet in Stratford.

Patricia Menheere - 13, Wendy Dorsses - 18, Valerie Sinnamon - 21 and Karen Bruxer - 32. They all did really well. The midget boys also had a tough race and did really well.

The goal is $4000 and so far only about $1500 worth have been brought in. As of Monday morning, the class with the most sales was 50 with 20 following not too far behind. High salesmen fore each day have been so far: first day Pat Miller, second day • Jim McNichol, third day - Perry BrOome and Miss Weiler, fourth day • Tessie Malkus, fifth day - Dave St e Marie, and sixth day - Donna Henderson.

When asked if he felt there was a demand for that type of housing in Seaforth, he said: "I think you just have to look at the number of trailers being Put in Egtriondville. Deputy-reeve Bill Dale said a trailer park isn't really in the budget-yet, but it would be nice if it could be done by next year. When asked why the town was considering the development of a trailer park within its boundaries, he said; "We feel it's another service to people and since it wouldn't be very far from the industrial park, I thing the two c6uld work well together." When serviced Mayor Betty Cardno said its "not practical" at the moment to develop the trailer park because it's not serviced. She said sewaers should be available in that area in the next year or two and after that Being president of theStu dents Council keeps her busy enough. She teaches Sunday School at Cranbrook Presbyterian Church. As for future plans, Anna Lee thinks this will be her last year. Watson - 59 and Peter Martene • 93.

Everyone tried their best and did extremely well. Their next meet is next Wednesday in Exeter. SDHS Convenes Huron-Perth This year it was Seaforth's turn to host Huron-Perth tennis. Mr. Johnston and Mr, Scott were the teachers in charge. It was held at Vanastra and there were, six schools attending. Two teams won their first round match. They are Dale Nelson and Steven Rice, Brad Scott and Anna Lee Steve nson, SDHS president, has really been disappointed in the participation in the campaign. For every subscription that each student sold, whether a new one or a renewal, the students' council keeps one half of the profit. The campaign was over Monday but results were not totalled in time for this printing. So there will be more on this next week. Hu'ron Expositor Campaign Along with selling magazines, SDHS students are again selling Huron Expositor subscriptions. Subscriptions, whether new or a renewal, are ten dollars a year. there would be no reason not to proceed. Mayor Cardno said she had mixed feelings whether trailer parks are really needed anymore. At one time, it was one way to control mobile homes in the town who had difficulty in taxing homes which could, sit op very small lots. So towns controlled trailers by toning which would not let them nto town unless they were in 'arks but most of the double width trailers can fit into nunicipal zonings now, she said. "What we have to resolve is whether the town should go ahead with the park or let a developer proceed. The town has alreauy had inquries about the trailer park, she said. There is a strong indication that a developer will buy or rent the land from the town and develop it, she said. Most of the people who wanted She would like to take a part course at George Brown College In Toronto but she's not sure if she will be accepted. Anna Lee likes art, especially the design part. One thing she Murray Bennewies.congratula• tions to these people and all others participating. Boys Golf Wins Huron-Perth Many congratulations go to the SDHS golf teams on their extremely good showing at Huron-Perth this year. The boys won the championship for the second consecutive year and the, girls were runners-up this year. Members of the boys team are 'Cam Doig with a score of 70, Steve Bennett - 73, Ed. Malkus to install trailers moved, to surrounding townships and this avoided a crisis situation, I don't knew if a trailer park is necessary anymore. They are certainly modifying them all the time," she said. The designs, widths and placement of the mobile homes on a foundation make them nicer than ever for fitting into a community. Mobile homes started out as a home people could pull, and now if the lot is b ig enough, and it is on a foundation, they are acceptable in the community. Mayor Cardillo said a trailer park could relieve the pressure for rental housing and tt ' is perhaps what the town should aim for in setting up a trailer park.

Mayor Cardno said once the trailer park is set, the cost of servicing the land will be worked into the rental charges, as is done with other types of subdivisions. Anna Lee hopes to revive some of the school's spirit which has been nil lately. She talks of getting a juke box and a coke machine in the lounge downstairs, so maybe this will help. Volleyball, Basketball The boys volleyball team did really well in a round robin that was held in Wingham. Exeter, Wingham and Clinton were also participating. The basketball teams also are doing well. The scores from their last games are: Junior 10 - 36 for St. Marys and Senior 35:26 for St. M arys. This is relly good because St. m arys is a 'power house' in basketball. 0 ; i Ifk 4 Magazine campaign lagging this year Senior girl's win cross country championship
