Among the 60 present were Rangers, Venturers, their guests for the evening and Ranger Captain Mrs. Anne Belliveau and Mr. Belliveau. Special guests were Mr. and Mrs. F. Schwab, substituting for Mrs. Delcellier; Venturer advisors Dave Harvey and Lieutenant A. Erickson and Mrs. Erickson; district commissioner, Mrs. G. Harper accompanied by Mr. Harper and their daughters; district Guider Mrs. B. Ingram, Mr. Ingram and Mr. Delcellier. The three main Halloween hazards are poor visibility, fires and falls. Many masks are unsafe because children can't see properly out of the, narrow eye slits. The masks can also slip, causing possibly dangerous total obstructions of view. Makeup masks, over a cold cream base for ease of removal, provide full vision. The costumes themselves should be light-colored to make it much easier for motorists to see children although the addition of reflectorized tape greatly increases the visibility of all colors of costumes. Turning to the fire hazard, paper costumes' bought for the kids' big night out should bear markings indicating non-flammable material. Cloth costumes made at home can be flame-proofed by soaking them in a solution of four ounces of boric acid, nine ounces of borax and a gallon of warm water. Falls are a major . hazard because costumes are often too long and children's footing insecure in ma's pumps or pop's brogans. If weapons are part of the costume, they should be made of cardboard so only the prop gets damaged in an accident. , Parents can help prevent falls by making sure their porch lights are on and the porches cleared of debris. Varna news BY FRED McCLYMONT The local Boy Scouts had a very successful paper drive last Saturday. The sympathy of this community goes out to the family of the late John Dowson in their recent bereavement. Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Dawson have moved to their new home in Exeter.

That's natural, I guess. It is their job to disagree. One of the first complaints came froni the Conservative ranks, I believe. They said the government had failed to come to grips with the most serious problems — inflation and housing. Thee opposition in this country reminds me of a lady I once knew who used to bark at her husband because he didn't scuffle beans to suit her. So ohe day he jumped off the scuffler and told her to take over. The lady declined for she had to admit, "I know how it should be done but I can't do it myself." Fighting inflation and providing adequate moderate-priced housing shouldn't be too difficult for men 'trained and educated to handle these matters. But it is. I can't explain it. You can't explain it. The government can't explain it. Even the opposition can't explain it. Oh, everyone has theories ... everyone that is except government opposition. They claim to have Canada's welfare uppermost in their minds, but let the government suggest something — anything — and the opposition will reject it. What's worse, they reject it without having any suggestions that are better. Not too long ago I heard the prime minister fielding questions at a press conference. He said the federal government had" spent quite a bit of money to encourage from all parties concrete and constructive suggestions which possibly could aid decision-making. Of course, the hitch was in the words "concrete and constructive" but nevertheless, in the opinion of the government, nobody had offered any ideas for satisfactory alternate legislation. Just you wait. The opposition is screaming for some kind of housing legislation. When 'it finally does come, they'll , pooh-pooh it, either because it is too much or too little, too extravagent or too cheap, too restrictive or too permissive. And the same thing goes for policies on inflation. And do you know what? I can accept that because from the birth of Canada that's been the way of things here. I can't imagine how, but it does seem to be a pretty effective type of government system. I think most things are just great in this nation. I don't have many problems. Certainly housing isn't a concern for me, thank God. Inflation bothers me only when I pay my taxes and somehow, I feel I get pretty good value for most of my tax dollars. The throne speech sounded good to me but then, I'm just a stupid housewife who feeds a family of five for a whole year for less money than the average MP spends having his white shirts washed and ironed, his suits pressed and his shoes shined. We've all heard or read the throne speech by this time and most' of us have formed our own opinions about it, Quite frankly, I thought it was chock-full of good ideas,." and just about exactly what Canada needs at the present time. But, I suppose your reaction will depend upon your' politics and your politics are your own. business. Strange as it may seem, I still have not decided whether or not I'm totally committed to Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau., Hp's that strange combination of wit and wisdom which everyone admires but few ever really come to understand. One minute he is suave and charming, a red carnation in his buttonhole. The next he is snapping sharply at anyone Who questions his motives. But every once in' a while, Canadians get a glimmer of Trudeau's "just society" and I think the clearest view we have had so far Is through the throne speech. Take th.' question of lowering the voting age to 18 years. There will be plenty of opposition to that one I suspect (many will charge that's the only way Trudeau can be re-elected since few Canadians over 35 would cast a ballot in his favor again). But if you think about it for a while, it mighty unjust to expect a young man or a young woman of 18 years of age or so to work every day, pay income tax and not have a vote on the WMS groups hold rally Today's Church in today's changing world was the inspiring and challenging message by Mrs. F. A. Creasy of Chatham when she spoke at the annual fall rally of the Huron Presbyterial of the Women's Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church when it met last week in Belgrave Presbyterian church. She spoke of the need for' change in the present way of doing things. Mrs. Creasy urged all to, think of the modern age,. ;to reachr• today's people and to present a happy picture of today's Christian in God's work. She was introduced by Mrs. W. Bradnock of Auburn and thanked by Mrs. R. U. MacLean of Clinton. Mrs. John Pollock of Goderich, president of Huron Presbyterial was in charge of the rally. Mrs. Athol Bruce -of Belgrave was the organist. Mrs. Pollock gave Thanksgiving thoughts for the call to worship. The devotional period was in charge of Mrs. John Thompson, Mrs. James Keyes and Mrs. T. Kabkirk all of Seaforth. The minutes of the spring meeting were accepted as read by the secretary, Mrs. Ray Dyke of Goderich. The financial statement prepared by Mrs. Arnold McConnell of Goderich was read by Mrs. John Wray, first vice-president of Goderich.
