That person is my mother. The reason that she's upset isn't a political one. No, mother is unhappy because the end of Mr. N Nixon's days in the limelight also signal an end to her's. You see every time CBC television news does an in-depth report on Bob Nixon on The National, mother appears too. She's been on The National news twice so far since the middle of the summer and her career could only have gone onward and upward. But then Bob Nixon blew her chance at immortality. He resigned. It's no big thing, yeau say, appearing on a coast to coast news report talking earnestly with the erstwhile Liberal leader while the news commentator drones in the background. After all, nobody mentions your name or calls attention to whom Bob Nixon is addressing. No, 'mother appears simply as Ms. Anonymous Voter. Hahl You don't know much about the power of the TV camera if that's what you think. Shortly You're Invited IS The Seaforth Women's Insti- tute are holding their October meeting in the Seaforth Public School on Monday October '20 at 8p.m. Mr. Gordon McGavin will show slides of the Seaforth and Clinton Centennials, musicial numbers will be provided. Mrs. Jas Key s and her committee are in charge of lunch. 4 PaRnaParrion; Fitness In your heart you know k's after the film clip featuring mother and Mr. Nixon appeared on the National for the first time, she was out in Saskatchewan at a newspaper convention. Every second person she saw, acquain- tances from all over the country she hadn't seen for years came up to her and said.."was that you talking to what's his name on the national news?" Yup, it's the big time. Mother's most recent TV news appearance was last week, when Nixon announced • his retirement. That In Dublin Bishop John Sherlock of Lon- don will officially open the Huron Perth County Roman" Catholic Separate School Board office in Dublin on Wednesday, No/ember 5th. Trustee Michael Connolly of Kippen, chairman of the commit- tee in charge reported at a board meeting in Dublin. Tuesday night that„ the dedication ceremony would take place 2 p.m. in the board room with the Bishop commenting on Catholic educa- tion. This ceremony is to be followed by Open House and tours with refreshments in the lounge from 2:45 to 4:30p.m. and again from 7:00 to 9:00p.m. Mr. Connolly repotted a lunch- eon would, precede the cere- monies at Rey. Gordon Dill's residence in Dublin at 12:30 p.m. The new board offices are located in the former Continua- tion School and adjoining Ursu- line Order Convent. The two religious consultants for the board, Miss Teresa Woods and Miss Mary Kennedy, both of Stratford, gave ,reports on their religion program in the 19 separate schools in Huron and Perth based on the book Canadian Catechism. The consultants said they would like to report to the board at a later date on the program content as carried . out from Kindergarten to Grade 8. Miss ' we're afraid, was her swan song. It may be the end of letters from long lost and forgotten friends saying "was that you, Winn?" Ws not as if mother, had really tried hard to be in camera view the clay the CBC film crews took what was to become their stock footage of Bob Nixon in action. All she did was to attend a political picnic at the Liberal leader's farm back in the spring, 1?efore the Ontario election was even announced. At best we figure mother's got one more Woods spoke of the spiritual growth of the teachers through workshops and a credit course in scripture at university level. She said 30 teachers from the board area are taking the course •at St. Jerome's College in Kitchener. Student retreat days for Grades 7 and 8 candidates preparing for confirmation were discussed and reported to be favourably approv- ed by priests, teachers and students. Miss Woods said twilight retreats will be held at Our Lady of Mount Carmet on October 16 for Zone 2; St. Mary's School, Goderich, on October 29 for Zone 1; St. Aloysius School, Stratford, with the theme Build- ing Christian Community for Zone 4; and on November 20 St. Columban School, for Zone 3. The 'consultants invited each trustee to attend the retreat in his zone "To pray together for better understanding". Board chairman, David Teahen of, Stratford, informed Miss Ken- nedy and Miss Woods that the religion program is one of the most important programs in the separate schools. (Continued from Page 1) makes for a better community. He echoed Reeve Ginn's sentiments that overall co-ordination in the county is necessary because municipalities, by them selves, are just too'45mall to Support facilities once they are establish- ed. "We should look to establish facilities where they' will benefit the most people," Reeve McCutcheon stated. Hullett Reeve John Jewitt said he was opposed to finanCing recreation by taxing property. "And I'm afraid that's what this report will lead us to," he said. "How much should come from the taxpayers' pockets and how much should be paid by the users?" asked Jim Mair, Morris Township Deputy-reeve. Reeve Warren Zinn of Ashfield Township urged township coun- cils to study the report and look at chance at " the National news before the Bob Nixon, with voter) film clip disappears from CBC's files. The TV news people will have to do 'some sort of a. post mortem when, Nixon's successor is chosen when the Liberals convene in January. Now, if she could just get into a photogenic conversation with whoever that successor might be, mother, could once again be a news • film story throughout the next election compaign. New Titles The two superintendents of education on the board, Joseph Tokar and Alexander Easton and the business administrator Jack Lane were given new administra- tive titles. Mr. Tokar will be superintendent of special services Mr. Easton, superintendent of program, and Mr. Lane, superin- tendent of business and finance. James McDade, teacher at St. Columban School, was given permission to be nominated as a candidate for assignment to the teachers department of National Defence Dependants' School over seas for a two-year, tour to duty. Miss Mary Hoy of R.R. 1, Sebringville, was hired as a music teacher for 20 per cent of the day., The school custodians' basic salary was, increased six per cent over and above the existing contract effective October 1. Stratford trustee Ron Marcy was darned board representative on the steering committee set up to design an Implementation ' Model for the board's system of schools. The administration is studying the facts and figures. "It should be a great help," said Reeve Zinn. New Motion Later in the morning, Reeve Gerry Ginn formally presented a motion that the recreation study go to the restructuring committee for further recommendation. "This is something that involv- ed more than one community", said Reeve Ginn, "and I thing the restructuring committee could give it a broader iook." "This matter belongs to devel- opment and it should remain there," argued Reeve Ed. Oddlei- fson. "They started it and it shouldn't be passed on to another committee. "The restructuring committee is a co-ordinating committee," said Reeve McCutcheon. "If you are not going to refer this matter to it, then disband it." Just before press time SDHS girls trumpet band leader George Hildebrand told the Expositor that it is "60% certain" that the band will be going to play in the Edison Pageant of Lights parade in Fort Myers, Florida, in February. The band has been invited to represent Canada in the popular parade. George says negotjations are continuing with parade organizers. the restructuring of the schools in the system. Trustee F .J .

The meeting adjourned at 11:30 p.m. to go into committee-of-the- whole. At this point, Warden Anson McKinley reminded council that the committee meeting at which the restructuring committee was urged to co-ordinate fire, police, recreation and garbage collection, is stiYf not official since a report of that meeting still hasn't come before council as a whole for recommendation. Reeve Zinn, chairman of,the development committee, favored sending the recreation report to the restructuring committee. It was his contention that the restructuring committee would have more time to devote to this all important report. However, the motion was lost when put to council. Reeve Zinn then said that the development committee would be seeking the aid and advice of the restructuring committee when dealing with the matter. must cut down on your eating and lose some, weight If so, there's an organization IA Seaforth that can help. It's called the Non Nibblers; a group of women who meet every Monday night at a p.m. at SDHS. As yet, there's no chapter for men but one may be formed.More information on that is available from recreation director Clive Buist. The Non Nibblers started about five years ago, encouraged by Local MD Rodger Whitman.. The 25-30 members weigh in and have programs on nutrition, diet and weight loss. They have special speakers and films and give each other suggestions on recipes; books to read or TV shows to watch. Members pay a small fee, 25c per week, and are fined if they've gained since the last meeting ---five cents for the first pound and ten cents per pound after that. The biggest weight loser is queen for the night and collects fines from others.

The Non Nibblers don't want to scare anyone away. Mrs. Hussey says that probably more than 100 area women Piave graduated from the Non Nibblers over the years.
